Food for thought, or lovely fried junk food.

One of the perks of being over weight is having a fat personality.

A fat personality is someone who is sensitive, loving, funny and caring. Just like a teddy bear!

I'm not trying to discriminate, this is only my way of seeing things and I don't take myself seriously, so should you!!

Ok so, I think most fat people always have better personalities than most skinny people!

People who have always been overweight may care more about having a good personality and a sense of humour, they also tend to be more affectionate and forgiving. Maybe it's a psychological compensation mechanism?

I hope I never lose my fat self..

Dear god, please make my body thin and my personality fat.. Amen.

I think this is true pretty often. There are nasty fat people too but for the most part, especially women who GREW UP FAT usually have to work harder and develop a bit more character because we could never bat our pretty little eyelashes and get whatever we wanted. Now of course, not all thin people had it that easy either, but I am talking generally. Generally the thinner, prettier you are, the easier certain things are going to be.

I was afraid I would not be taken seriously as a professional, and its a major reason I had this surgery.

I agree with this completely. My weight has fluctuated so much, although I've never been "normal" weight as an I adult. It just went all over the place from merely overweight to obese to morbidly obese back to obese....you get the picture..

I was treated MUCH differently in my professional world during each category..... sad but true.

Thank you. That helps my mind be at ease. Sometimes I still wonder if I did the right thing, because I am experiencing one hell of a stall at only three weeks out of surgery. I just had that guy feeling that my weight WILL matter professionally, whether thats fair or not.

I never thought of that until more than one person asked me how can I be a health professional and be overweight? Very rude and insensitive!

Yeah, its hard to command respect and get your patients attention turned to losing weight when you yourself are CLEARLY obese. I couldn't even expect them to take me that seriously. It's a major barrier.
