I am so tired of seeing memes and photos online making fun of fat people. This kind of stuff gets posted on Facebook every day, including from friends of mine.
I don't find it amusing at all.
People don't seem to understand that people don't get to be 400, 500, 600 pounds because they're lazy and they eat too much. Most people who are very obese are that way because of other issues. Often food is used as a way of self-medicating. Many very obese people have been physically and/or sexually abused in childhood. You don't know anything about the people you are making fun of in these pictures.
It makes me sad and lately it's been really starting to make me mad.
I'm Michelle and I'm a 34-year-old who really needs to lose weight. I'm a Slimming World member (a UK slimming club) and I'm currently doing a sponsored slim as well. My sponsored slim is running from Jan 29 through April 29.
