Hi,

Just HAD to share.. Since NONE of my friends would ever understand how NOT cool this is. I guess I just don't think it's funny. Fat is literally the LAST thing you can make fun of!! Here's a pic my friend posted on Facebook that everyone thinks is hilarious... Just had to rant...

That is disgusting. First off it is a child and that should have been the first clue it isn't funny. With all the light being shed on bullying and how horrible it is for children to endure, it is amazing that anyone finds this funny. I certainly do not.

I was made fun of when I was young... being a fatish child... it hurt so much!! I suppose I still carry a little of it around with me today, which is why I can't and won't tolerate stupid jokes like this...

I don`t think its because he`s fat but because he is scared of the ball?

You should just leave the comment "Why do you think that's funny?" and make him/her think about it.

I think Stacy's comment says it all -- make the person explain why he/she thinks it's ok to belittle, humiliate, bully someone else. It's not funny in the least.

It's especially horrible to post just after the past couple of weeks when young kids are killing themselves over being bullied.

That is just rude and insensitive and ugly.

Little Steve they call him "fatty" on the caption.

It is really sad how people think it is okay to make fun of people who are struggling with weight issues, especially children. I agree, I would have posted a comment asking exactly where the humor is in this picture.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
