A wow moment!
I think we all get that reaction, now and it is disconcerting to say the least.
Did anyone see the experiment on one of the magazine shows where they made a reporter up to be fat. They sent her out to do a survey and nobody would answer her questions....NOBODY! Then they made her into a beautiful blonde and everyone answered them. IT made me so sad to see that people are so shallow. It was as if they were afraid of her when she was not slim and beautiful. Kinda makes me want to flash a picture of myself BEFORE when people smile and acknowledge me and ask...."Where was your smile when I was 250??? That's when I really needed it!"
Forgive the rant...
Hey rant away! I know exactly what you mean! I'm still getting some funny looks in the gym but I just smile. I am there to work on me not to impress them. I did see that experiment about the lady who was made up to be fat. Wasn'*****ra Banks? Anyway, to be large is to be invisible and subhuman, lazy and all the other adjectives people come up with.
