Why when you're smaller but bigger you get picked on out loud but when you're really big people feel "sorry" for you and talk where you can't

Hear....it doesn't make sense. Maybe people were intimidated by you when you're smaller and when you're bigger you're "not a threat." Idk I was just wondering if anyone has ever had this problem or am I just looking too into it.

I don't know about that. I was really big, over 400 pounds, and I was publicly ridiculed often. Total strangers would make horrible comments or laugh at me. Quite honestly, I was treated like I had a contagious disease by most of society. No one felt sorry for me but people were awfully judgmental and mean.

The world is full of ignorant people who feel they are entitled to say whatever they want... Just remember one thing the only opinion that should impact on you is yours.. Don't absorb their negativity..regardless of size age whatever people like that have ugly souls..in my opinion

Discrimination comes in all forms I'm sorry to say. I have found that those that have prejudices about others are the ones we need to have pity for.

They are so consumed by their own lack and insecurity the only way they can feel valued is to make negative comments about others. It is much harder to look in the mirror and see what is wrong with ourselves then it is to cast those dispersions onto another.

You are all strong healthy beautiful women and men, you have done the hardest work. We took a good long look at ourselves and said...I can fix this and make it better, and we work hard at it every day. Not to "fit in" but because it's what makes us feel better, and we can share those good feelings with others in the world.

I couldn't of said it better myself Lisa. You are so right. No matter what you look like there's always going to be something that someone is going to look at and think could be "better." Also it annoys me that us bigger people are said to be lazy and taking the "easy" way out by doing surgery and we need to just get off the couch but no one takes into account that health problems have a great deal to do with most obesity, not to say I didn't over eat but my weight didn't get out of control until the birth control shot and then my thyroid went crazy. My mom lost 100 lbs in a year and she said its crazy how all of a sudden men who talked about her was talking TO her and she acted like they weren't even in her league lol

Go MOM! She's right they are NOT in her league! They did her a favor before she lost the weight because now she knows right where they stand and doesn't have to bother to figure them out. B)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
