Fat fat the water rat
My life has been filled with horrible name calling. As a kid I was called every imaginable fat name in the book. Some of them are: Two Ton Tessie, Whale, Pumpkin Head, Fatty, Orca and Blimp. Those are just some that I can recall. It’s funny how fat people can be taunted mercifully, yet if another race or religion is attacked it is somehow off limits.
I completely agree! For me it started in my family. Since I was born I was given the nickname “Buddha” - and I’m SURE that it wasn’t because I’m god-like! Insane, what’s worse is that we allow ourselves to continue to put up with it instead of standing up for ourselves. Good luck to you on your journey!
Ahh, I was always baby beluga to my brother and his friends. I’m sure that is part of why I’m so shy and reserved today. Best of luck to you!
I have been called everything under the sun (fat, beached whale, cow, pig, fat ass, etc.) from both my brothers, “friends”, and random strangers. All of that is “lookism” and it should be considered on the same scale as other forms of bigotry. If people don’t find me (or anyone else) attractive thats fine, but how does my apperance in anyway affect them, it doesn’t. I had a really hard time losing weight for 5 years because I was so worried about other people that I thought and said, that it kept backfiring. In fact, in junior high when got the most comments, I was a size 8 and quite tall. Cleary not overweight at all. I think the most important thing is to do it for yourself and not to please other people. Good luck!
