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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
