Anyway, I think society needs to do something about this "thin is in"
mentality - we're losing too many teen-aged girls to anorexia and too many obese adults to suicide and we're devaluing people who could otherwise contribute a lot but aren't given a chance just because of a body size that is usually genetic and can't be helped even with a constant, starvation diet (I know, I tried them all and even on an 800 calorie a day diet managed to gain weight!!!). Hugs, CatNipped Isn't it tragic how so many people not afflicted with obesity view those who are? I started putting on weight when I was in college, and didn't really stop until I was well into my 30's. I'm finally managing to lose some of my excess weight with a lot of effort, but dealing with the attitudes of some of the more prejudiced skinny folk doesn't make it any easier. And as bad as it is in the US, when I used to travel to China fairly frequently I found it to be even worse there. |
