Kfamr,

I am very sorry someone has every made fun of you because of your weight. It is a horribly cruel thing for anyone to ever do. I once had a jerk at a bar try and shove me off a bar stool as if I didn't exist. He called me a fat pig and basically said I had no business being there as no one would ever want to be around me anyway and I was taking up valuable space.

I stood my ground and said to him in the most condescending voice I could drum up...."Well I may be fat but I can always lost my weight...you are stuck with who you are for life you spineless excuse for a man. And just so you know this "fat chick" wouldn't lower herself to sleep with you ever! You are not even worth the amount of time and energy I have already spent upon your sorry self". I got cheers from the other people around us. He left with a very red face.

And to all you young and thin teenagers out there who think you are NEVER going to be fat....well....life has a way of catching up to you. Babies, changes in metabolism, depression, abusive relationships and illness are all things that can and do happen to women every day that change their bodies in ways the arrogance of youth NEVER thought would happen.
