Fat Acceptance...

[PrincessKsMom]

I think this person you are posting to is from the Teen Boards

I guess this makes sense because I was looking around at different boards before and found a thread started by someone on here complaining that they are treated unfairly on the CB and don't feel like they get any respect because of their age, which I find completely ridiculous because how would I know someone's age by their post? I welcome all points of view, especially those of teens, on all matters, particularly because my daughter is almost a teen and I'm never really sure what she thinks about certain things. I guess in this instance they think I knew the age for sure, since I used the word "childish" but I can honestly say I had no idea of the poster's age.

Pics in the sig gave it away for me & then I checked

Just wanted to give ya heads up

They're awfully brave to be over here! Now if I see them on the Conservative thread I'll pee my pants

And you knew this just by looking at him? Poor ambulation couldn't possibly have been caused by a bad back, bad knees, arthritis or any number of other issues? Perhaps he was fat because he was taking prednisone for something, or bloated from chemo? In my case it was laziness that got me the body that I have, but I don't assume that everyone is large because they're lazy. Just like I don't look down my nose at those who smoke, because I managed to kick a 2 pack a day habit 15 years ago. I try to empathize and give support and assistance WHEN IT'S ASKED FOR. I'm sure you wouldn't understand or allow that to happen to you, even though you felt the need, for whatever reason, to drop 3 dress sizes? (Which, BTW is a wonderful accomplishment and you should be applauded for that, but it just seems a little hypocritical to say you'd never allow that to happen, when it obviously did.)

I know what the issue was because he was joking about it with the flight attendant. By the way being overweight makes all the illness & disease you mentioned worse.
Smoking is just another way people choose to poison themselves.

As far as my weight change I want to live a long healthy life and becoming more toned and flexible was a way to ensure my body works properly. My weight dropped due to toning and exercise I wasn't trying to loose pounds.
I will say it was a wonderful perk.......

This thread reminds me of an old saying: "I'm fat and you're a jerk. And I can always go on a diet."

So you are going to hold a stereotype of teens? SO WHAT IF HE IS A TEEN?

Stating the obvious is NOT helpful, this is the stuff folk get when they are fat, speak to you like a 2nd class person, like you are a failure because you are fat, never mind the good marrage,degree and charity work.

Dont even get me started.

I agree with your question up to a point. I think that often teens haven't had to deal with some of the garbage that we all have thrown at us. It's not that they aren't welcome to their opinions and shouldn't state them, it's just that they might not all be as wordly-wise as some of us wish we weren't.

Of course YMMV.

Maybe not everyone is as bright as you

Hey if you happy and healthy overweight, TERRIFIC!

Just keep your butt of my seat on the plane and stop oozing onto my theater seat. Is that so much to ask?

Somehow it seems that people that don't have a weight problem seem to be the target on this thread.

I hope your joking - cause that's not what I meant -

I didn't want everyone to gang up on him/her

Did you know hunger can lead to low blood sugar which can contribute to feelings of paranoia and irritabilty?

I also have some Midol available should you need it

Who said I am over weight? You are right about everybody not being as bright, sorry for being smart.

I have been irritable for the past 2 days because of bashers

Don't worry, I am not hungry, I am just sick of stereotypes and being bashed

I even lost my tag over it

You could always complain about it on the Teen Board.

Just joking!!! Really!

Didn't I already do that?

Actually, I wasn't complaining, just venting and warning about the bashers

Donuts? Where?

GoofyWaterCoaster, at least some of us are truly just joking just like we do with anyone else. We all get bashed here and you're going to have to grow some thicker skin or you'll drive yourself crazy.

Wait, why do you like me?

Apparently, I am an Annoying, Idiotic, Stupid, Over-Opinionated Fool/Loser as I have been told many times

I have incredibly thick skin, I just get annoyed easily

I have not been offended by any bashers, I actually often chuckle at them

I am just sick of being bashed and having to deal with people

OT over, back on topic

NEVERENOUGHWDW, I agree with you about personal space and buying 2 seats

I'm guessing it would depend on HOW you ask.

Just saying ...
