Now I'm really paranoid about being in public! I suppose this woman already knows what she's doing is bad for her. I think public humiliation might do her even more harm. From my point of view, we all reach our own respective bottoms and can only rescue ourselves FOR ourselves - not because of what someone else thinks. My mother was after me for years to lose weight and it only made things worse for me.
I'm already paranoid about being seen with an ice cream cone, and I weigh considerably less than 400 lbs. Still, it doesn't help me when I think people are seeing the fat chick enjoying an ice cream cone with that good looking guy (my husband is definitely the better looking one) and thinking "wow she should lay off the ice cream or that hot dude is gonna walk away"
screw someone who thinks they have a right to judge someone who obviously has underlying issues - as if telling them "that's going to kill you" is going to help.
I think of myself as though I'm a pretty typical hipster kinda gal. I feel like I'm younger than I am and I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do when I grow up. For now, I'm working part-time "for the man," but more importantly, I'm a mom to a daughter, The Little Miss (TLM) and a wife to The Husband. We live in an area of the country where being anything bigger than a size 6 is considered unacceptably large and in a town where movie stars live.
I've always been the Big Girl. Growing up it was because I was taller and "big boned." Now I'm the Big Girl because I'm fat. At one time I loved being the Big Girl but now, not so much.
This blog is my way trying to be a part of a community that can help each other through our struggles to be who we really are. For me, it's still being a Big Girl just not of the fat variety.

OH SO TRY! That really hit it right on the nail.

WOW that post really gets it. Thanks for linking it for us.
I don't agree with it at all.
