ORIGINAL: Jewel85 Let me make note that while, yes, i am an exhibitionist of sorts (just discovering this side of me), so yes, i do seek the attention it brings, i don't tell people that i find them disgusting or repulsive. i keep my feelings to myself, so as not to offend. In fact, this post is the first time i've ever made written or verbal acknowledgment of my feelings about being overweight. Perhaps i do rate myself a little higher in my head than people who are very overweight. To me, it's a matter of health. i am very proud of being healthy, and find it repulsive that people can let themselves get so unhealthy. i personally feel i don't flaunt my body any more than others do, including large people. i don't like seeing fat naked bodies, but i look the other way. i think my big problem is that while i look the other way and just avoid what i don't like, they insult me, calling me vain and telling me to stop flaunting my body. i don't tell them what they should do, so why should they tell me? What is the problem people have that they can't just look the other way and let people enjoy who they are? i agree, DiurnalVampire, that they can have their opinions of me, but do they have to fling them in my face? They aren't friends; they are people at the club. i was verbally and emotionally all through childhood, and to a lesser extent even now (my mother), and their insults hurt me a lot more than they probably realize because of my past. i probably shouldn't care, but it hurts a lot. Thanks for your responses all. i really am trying to understand this, both their reasons and my feelings. Okay so your upset that the obese people that disgust you are calling you vain. I would be upset if they were calling Me a bitch .....And why do you care about what the disgusting people think? Here's a thought...Do you really think they wake up every morning grateful that society judges them for being overweight/obese due to something out of their control. I have to also agree with the others and say why is okay for you to judge them,and them not you....Perhaps gaining weight would give a thicker skin so comments like being vain bounce off. I am a full figured Woman and damn proud of it...gotta lil extra padding too and I am damn proud of how good I look at 40.
