Argghhhh! One huge thing I hate hate hate about being fat is that people really treat you like a second class citizen. Because you are fat you are less worthy than anyone else.
Two examples in two days:
The one guy I was on the phone to at work yesterday asked how my holiday was then where did I go... I said Turkey and he paused and seemed really confused and started saying oh, right, hmmm. I am starting to think, what's the problem when he turns round and says "well, you're, you know, like me (he's big too) and I just, well... I find it too hot in country's like that" so why does he think, just cos he's fat, he has a right to speak to me like that - so just cos he's fat he thinks he can talk to me about me being fat. If I didn't wanna go I wouldn't have. Thing is, I know how sensitive I feel anyway about being fat, so I would never speak to someone about it unless I knew they were happy to talk to it. You know, if it was a friend or someone close.
Anyway, the second was today. I have saved one of my photos on my desktop at work. It's a reallly lovely sunset picture, so I was showing it to a couple of colleagues and said to them I might even get it printed on Canvas and put it on my wall. The one woman said "could you take those people out"? They were random people, but because it's a sunset pic, you can only see their figures and I think it adds to the pic anyway. Then she said, "well at least they're not big fa...." then stopped as she realised what she was saying.
Who cares if they were, and actually if they were, it could have been me and my hubby.
Oh it does annoy me!
