I HATE WHEN PEOPLE....

[Alia]

My mother has told me all my life that I have such a pretty face its a shame about the rest of me. I'm sure she does n't realise the damage her saying that has done but its with me every single day. :cry:

Add on top of that a super morbidly obese person who has become disabled by her size and hear the comments about that.

I've have only ever once reacted to a comment about my size and that was when I was around 20 and pregnant with my first daughter. My husband was skinny beyond words and we were walking through a supermarket car park and I was pushing the trolley and there was a group of young lads behind us and one of them made a comment like 'look at the size of that arse'... I grabbed my handbag and moved as fast as I could and the unsuspecting thug had it wrapped around his head a few times and dam did I feel better.

The world would be such a nicer place if people accepted each other for what they are and not what they look like or how much they weigh.

When I was a kid - early teens - I had a 'well-meaning' teacher that used to say "you're so pretty & I bet you have great cheekbones under there!" ... Of course, almost 30 years later, I've found she is right! But still!!!

has any one heard the new advert for total fitness. Its the song sweet sugar dumpling and starts hey fatty bum bum. On principle i wouldnt join as i find it so offending that they as a company feel that they can treat people in such a insensitive way. Its no wonder people have such big hangups about their size cause since when did you have to be fat to get fit.

I was told recently by a guy at work that if I was slim he'd leave his wife for me - he actually thought that was a compliment! His poor wife! I laughed and reminded him that I was attached - if I didn't work with him I'd have given him such a lecture but I bit my tongue!!!! Grrrrr!

Blimey what a jerk! I'd of replied by asking what on earth made him think I'd want him to? Remind him I have standards and that he is waaaayyy below them, and then ask him if he is familiar with sexual harrassment legislation!

When i told another friend she was mortified at what they had said which made it all then hit home. I woudl nto mind one of my friends is only 2 stone lighter than me which still makes her very obese.
another friend commented about how pretty I am and at least I always have a smile on my face - then i just felt simple !!! lol
I watch films and one i watched just last night was about a guy who dates lots of women and they think he is a lucky harm as they then marry there perfect man well he wanted to test it s chose this hugely obese woman to try it out on saying that no one woudl ever marry her.
I just felt crap...notthat i am as big as her (I dont think) but that is how the world see's people.
