i've gained an enormous amount of weight in almost 2 years. and it turns people off and away. a lot of people attribute it to my being careless about how i take care of myself. it hurts because they don't know why i gained so much weight. i gained it because of my medications as i was diagnosed with Bipolar last March and the depression that followed. i hate the look of surprise in their eyes when they see me now. i hate this. i hate the judgement and i hate it all. i'm taking measures to get healthy again, it just sucks that people can take one look at you and not want to get to know you and automatically assume what kind of person you are just because you're heavy. i understand that people who are very overweight and/or obese are very unattractive to a lot of people, but that doesn't mean that they should be cast aside because they don't meet everyone's standards including the media's. it's easy to call someone fat or ugly and think that they are inferior, but those judgements come from weak people who don't understand that there is more behind the story and that it's more than just somebody putting too much food in their mouths. so for those of you who are reading this, think twice about how you view people based on their weight and appearances, because they probably didn't always look that way and maybe they won't always will. you could be missing out on someone special, because all you focused on was their waistline and not who they really are.

First and foremost, do it for yourself!

Stereotypes and stigmas will always exist. You are doing the right thing trying to offer a different perspective. You'll never change shortsighted people. So instead, focus that energy on getting yourself healthy and happy again. Then the next time they see you, they'll be amazed at how awesome you look. When that happens, THEN you can tell them what assholes they were when you were fat!

Most people hate fat people. They also hate short guys, chicks with no tits, and so on. I know because I'm a short fat guy. You know what? Fuck them. Nobody needs to put up with that shit. Just do your own thing and let the people that are worth having come to you.
