What Do Others See?

When I see people who are overweight I think about how they must struggle. I wonder how they feel about themselves. I feel sad that this has happened to them whether it was in their control or not. I think about how hard it must be sometimes to go shopping for clothes. I wonder how their loved ones feel. Are they sad? Are they happy?

What do other people think of them as they eat at a restaurant? Or walk through the grocery store?

And now, I wonder who thinks these things about me.

  1. glad to have found your blog... Can't wait to see how it all progresses! I generally dont wonder about other peoples weight or how they feel about themselves.. the only time I can't really help it is when they are extremely obese and can't walk or have trouble breathing. Thats when I can't help but wonder, u know?

  3. New follower here, found you on Carbie's link listed above.

    People are mean as hell, in my opinion... and probably think some nasty things. But, in the end, you will lose the weight and be happy with yourself and they will still carry darkness in their minds - so F*ck 'em! :) I swear... :)

  4. I don't usually wonder about those that are overweight. Unless, like Carbie, they are extremely over weight and can't hardly walk. Then I usually wonder how they manged to get that big. I never judge though. The way I feel right now? I'm happy. Yes, I'm overweight but I'm at a point in my life where things are going alright. Job, special someone and family and friends who love me. Sure, they wish I was healthier but they don't let my weight be a consideration in if/how they love me. My boyfriend is always telling me I'm sexy and such. It boosts me up so much. So yeah, no worries here.

    You shouldn't worry about what others think of you. Chances are, you won't run into those people you're worrying about again. And if you do? So what. If they can't like you for who you are, despite your weight, they're not worth it. It's hard to think like that, I know. I use to worry. But eventually you learn to ignore the idiots in life and just live your life!

    I'm gonna follow you and hopefully we can help each other out!
