Piggyback off of two earlier posts

First off I have to say we(we meaning us obese plus people here on BAF)need to stop thinking that we are any different or any better than another one of us. OOOWEE! this ticks me the **** off. I start this journey at 362 lbs. I wasn't diabetical, didn't have the sugars, didn't have any co-modities other than 200 pounds over weight. The fact that I am smaller than some and bigger that others TODAY is irrelevant. Not being fat is my struggle and being called fat would somehow mean......to me.. that I have lost or am losing this fight. Even if I am losing this fight today, I don't need anybody to remind me of that. I am more aware of it everyday.

Unlike being called the "N" word. You can fight against the emotional aspect of it but it is a losing battle to fight against the physical. I don't care how much white, indian, german, french or whatever blood you are mixed with. When you mix it with black....white people see black. Can't change that. When a white person calls you the "N" word it effect you....period

The same thing goes with being called fat...... 202 lbs later. If ANYBODY calls me fat it effects me. Whether you are joking or not. I work to hard not to be.

For those of you that seem to think you are not in the same boat with the rest of us on BAF.....well what difference does it make since you wouldn't be on BAF anyway.....right?

Tricie,

This isn't about anyone thinking they are better off or worse off than anyone else.  The question basically came from a couple of previous posts regarding words that some see as hurtful, while others, seemingly, do not.   Nothing more, nothing less. 

"When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer."   Plutach.  Not true, for there are always more worlds to conquer.

yes

You may not have meant for it come off sounding condescending...but you did......at least to me

We all here on BAF are in the same boat. We may have different row positions. However, we are all somewhat working towards the same goal.

You are a beautiful girl.......why?

Sorry if the truth came off condescending or if you took it like that.....but that's my truth. I can't change that for you. It's the difference in empathy and sympathy. I've been to support group meetings and people have broken down reliving the things that made them upset when they were bigger and have the other people break down too because they lived it. I can sympathize but I can't empathize because I have not walked in thier shoes and expierienced those things. Does that make me better than someone else........no it does not.

Maybe you have some things you need to work through, but I don't think you should judge me.

The point of my post was that words only offend people that hold weigh to those words. I do not hold anything towards the words fat or nicca.

ETA: Thank you for the compliment, I appreciate it.

We can agree to disagree. I just felt you were attacking my character.

Tricie it's all good. You have a good evening also sis!
