Hey everyone!

My name is Camille but you can call me Cammy.   I've been the big girl pretty much all of my life... yeah all of my life.   Unfortunately, I grew up with a fashion model and a professonial figure skater... so yeah teenage years kinda harsh.    I'm a really nice person but a lot of times I find myself alone because it's just easier because people seem to be mean to me everywhere I go. Here is some of the stuff I hate about being the big girl. Maybe you've experience the same things or maybe not. (I really hope not because people can be so mean) I just hate the disrespect sooooo much!!!! And when I talk to people they don't seem to understand. I'm hoping you guys will.

Stuff that happens to me:
-People moo at me or the old "oink, oink."
-I've been called the DUFF (Designated Ugly Fat Friend).
-People laugh and point at me.
-I get told at stores that "we don't have anything for big people like you here! Please leave!" even when I'm just looking a jewlery.
-I get looked at differently
-I feel like I don't get respect from my bosses because they think I'm lazy.
-My family is embarressed by me (and aren't affraid to tell me) Especially if I'm in a bathing suit
-No one sits beside me on the bus/train/any public place
-Perfect Strangers approach me asking what I'm doing about my weight! (HELLO!!! NONE of your business)
-Where I buy cloth, at the cash, there is flyers to lose weight and I tell the cashier all the time that it's so insulting!

-I have friends asking me what diet I am on now as a joke. Not funny!
-I always get told to stop eating cake or stop eating all the time. Actual quote: "If you actually but the fork down and stop eating cake you would lose weight" I hardly ever eat cake or any sweets.

I HATE IT!!!!
I GET MAD AND SAD ALL THE TIME BECAUSE IT's INSANE HOW PEOPLE TREAT ME.

I JUST WANT THE SAME RESPECT AS ANYONE ELSE!!!
IS THAT REALLY TO MUCH TO ASK???

I'm sorry guys! I hope I didn't freak you out. I'm not a mental case or anything... really! And don't worry I don't think that all my problems will go away because of my weight, but I do know it will help a lot of them.

I'm really hoping that the lap band helps me.   I'm having surgery July the 29th... wish me luck!

I wish everyone here lots of luck and happiness!
Sincerely,
Cammy
