Ya think? 
Reading this
made slogging through this whole thread worth it. 
Yeah, without the “fat” and “buying donuts” part, the OP would read…:
“This bitch in front of me paid for one item with a CHECK!!!” That inconsiderate bitch."
Horrors!!! :rolleyes:
You know, I’m not amused at all any more. I’m getting goddamned angry at living in a world where my worth is measured by the thirty extra pounds of fat I’m carrying around with me. Where I have spent my life from age 10 on fighting with my weight, obsessing about every piece of food I put in my mouth, agonizing over eating in public and buying food because I think everyone is judging me by what is in my shopping cart or on my tray; “Ooh, look, that fat girl is buying donuts. No wonder she’s such a fat-ass.” Where I have to deal with pieces of shit like elpadre and Never Have I Because I on a daily basis who don’t see me as a human being, but see me as Fat. That’s my title in their world, and they don’t have to relate to me as a human being, or treat me with human dignity, because I have the title of Fat, and am therefore not as good as a normal human being.
Well, fat, skinny, bald, short, ugly, cross eyed, etc. We all have our crosses to bear. But I’ll tell ya, that “not as good” stuff, well that comes from within.
I am always amazed how people will fall for this particular bait every single time.
If you want attention, insult the overweight. It never, ever fails.
That’s bullshit. It comes from every source of media that I encounter every day, and most of the people too. I fight the good fight every day not to internalize it.
This has to be the worst, dumbest, most pointless debate I’ve ever seen. Jesus Christ, talk about arguing over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
Well, it sounds like you are losing “the good fight.”
Somehow I doubt the woman described in the OP was only 30 pounds overweight. And I’ve had quite a bit of success getting into shape through diet and exercise, but I guess I acknowledge that losing weight at my age is significantly easier than at middle-age. If you don’t mind my asking, why have you failed to lose the weight?
I think people often try to make radical changes in their lives and expect quick results: “I’m going to run 5 miles and eat 500 calories EVERY DAY!” and get disappointed with themselves when the fat doesn’t come flying off. The reason I feel I succeeded is that I made slow, permanent changes in my lifestyle. First getting active a few days a week, then cutting back on food, then getting active every day.
Anyway, I don’t think the first thing I’d think of if I saw someone who was 30 pounds overweight would be fat. Plump, maybe – but that wouldn’t be the first thing I would even think. Perhaps it’s all in your mind?
Bullshit. As long as we have people like the OP and his buttboy NHIBI judging us based on appearance, it’s not “from within”.

Maybe, maybe not. Kinda depends on how one perceives oneself, doesn’t it?
And as far as evaluating someone based on their appearance, well that is all anyone has to go by until and unless they get more information (Judging is a whole different argument). That sort of evaluation is going to happen whether you like it or not.
Can you imagine what a dull life elpadre must have if this is of any importance to him at all?
He noticed that she is fat. Wow oh wow. Very observant.
Now point out a chair.
BullCaca.
You’re all missing the the most important factor in this debacle.
I’m not surprised.
What kind of donuts were they?
Us fat people wanna know. Really.
[sub]those li’l choklit donuts are really good with beer[/sub]
I don’t mind you asking; I usually don’t go into it because I don’t want to sound like I’m making excuses for being overweight. I exercise every day, and I eat a normal, balanced diet (light on the junk food, heavy on the healthy food) which would keep a normal person at a healthy weight. Not all fat people eat too much and don’t exercise. It just isn’t that simple. I suspect I screwed up my metabolism with multiple crash diets, as well as having a couple of medical conditions that lead to weight gain. My current weight loss plan is to try to forget about weight loss and get my body used to eating properly again.
This is also my plan. I’m trying to get over my obsession with food and my weight; this thread just set me off, with the high level of meanness in it.
I don’t think it’s all in my mind; I’ve had it confirmed from a couple of sources, like a blind date who pretty much told me I was too fat, and a nosy neighbour who asked me when the baby was due (needless to say, I wasn’t pregnant). For those of you who don’t struggle with your weight, these are not extraordinary occurrences for heavy people. There are a lot of people in the world who think nothing of insulting a fat person.
My guess is that he merely confused wait and weight 
If you know that a thread in which someone is ranting about a fat bitch is going to ‘set you off’, why read every post in it just so that you can complain about how much the whole thing offended you?
It would’ve been the same rant if he had been bitching about the twiggy bitch who had to use a check to pay for her bottle of mineral water in the express, cash only lane, yet I doubt there’d be so much screaming over the words ‘twiggy bitch’.
If I read the title of a thread and I think it’s going to hurt my feelings, and then I click on it, and I read it, and my feelings get hurt, I consider it my fucking fault for not heeding my instincts.
I just don’t see what the big deal is here, and I’m one of those people who gets called fat on a fairly regular basis.
May I join the hijack and recommend a program (NOT a “diet ninny” diet) that will help you “trick” your body into rediscovering its correct metabolism rate etc?
It’s called “Body for Life”. Teaches you in a very user friendly way (no incomprehensible body builder lingo, no constant measuring and weighing foods, no deprivation) the quickest and most efficient way to both eat right and exercise right for noticeable and lasting results.
Damn, I sound like an infomercial, but I’m just a person who used it easily and successfully.
As to your comments about the meanness in this thread regarding fatness? Hell, more like idiocy and extreme arrogance.
There aren’t very many people in the world who are perfectly gorgeous human beings. Nearly everyone has faults regarding their looks, be it a nose that’s too big, crooked teeth, bald heads and so on.
To bring a person’s looks into something that they’ve done wrong IS stupid and needless, despite the OP’s and a few other moron’s here thoughts on the subject.
I’ve never heard someone say “the bald MF…who…”, or the “freckled redheaded bitch who…”.
Bringing the “fat” part in was gratuitous insult for the sake of insulting fat people, plain and simple. And the OP and others doing it KNOW that they’re doing it, otherwise why the massive protest on their parts.
But you know something? I’ve been on the flipside. I’m ancient and hideous now :D, but I was pretty damn cute when I was a young’n, and got hit on all the damn time by men.
They’re saying the same exact thing when they do that. Your worth lies in your looks. Who YOU are doesn’t matter. The types of people who think that way? They’re the idiots, I know it’s hard, and I know it hurts, but write them off. There is so much more to life than people who don’t matter.
Hope you don’t mind my barging in with advice from an old lady. 
Sure you haven’t. That’s why insults like Cueball and Carrot Top don’t exist. If you don’t want to feel bad when people say things about you, either change your physical characteristic or get the fuck over it you whiny fat shits.
Or I can call you a stupid peice of crap and invite you to fuck yourself with a syphilis injected, tack studded car exhaust for calling me a fat shit.
But then I’d just be whiny, right. It’s A-OK for you to insult me because I’m fat and I’m supposed to “get over it” on your say so. Yeah, right.
Suck my big black ass you bigotted troglodyte.
