I have a vegetable garden too, it's off to a rough start, but it's happening.
I used to be a 'fat chick', well, I still am, but gosh, I used to be a lot fatter.
Now I've got the big tits, the small waist, the round ass, I get all this attention from guys that treated me like SHIT when I was 'fat'.
The original post really pissed me off, 'all the pretty girls there would be if they'd stop eating'.
Suppose that did happen, they all suddenly realised how bad the extra pounds are for their knees and lost the weight. Pretty faces and sweet personalities, smart chicks with rockin' bods. Suddenly you'd date them? What makes you worthy? Obviously anyone that makes that kind of lifestyle change, goes through the work and does the willpower, on top of the good looks is a pretty admirable catch.
Why the hell would they waste their time on an asshole who would insult people he doesn't know for how they look. Who the hell says they weren't pretty in the first place? You?
I say people with bad personalities are just as responsible for their flaw as fat people are for theirs. It takes a lot of work to change it, and people are judging you till you do.
But hey, lucky you, nobody has a bumper-sticker that highlights your flaw, no one is going to knock your tray out of your hands for being unable to keep hurtful opinions to yourself. Surprise, surprise, you don't have to watch commercials about what a weight you are on society on every freaking channel.
And I'm not just bitching for the fat chicks, I'm bitching for the brace-faces, hawk noses, shy kids and pizza-faces. You pick a flaw that you think deserves being picked on, and apparently that's all the justification you need to make them feel like shit.
It's not about health, be honest, truck fulls of teenage guys don't lean out of car windows and scream insults because they're worried about your blood pressure. Society says 'you may judge this person, it is both acceptable and encouraged' and people take that opportunity to leak their hate and judgment onto others and feel better about themselves.
The only thing that has changed about me is that I count calories and try to exercise everyday, other than that, and how I look, I'm still the same person. I never deserved that cruelty, but now, suddenly, I'm protected from it. It makes me mad.
