mine is similar to others.... i hate when i would eat, and finish my food and someone would say "is that all you gone eat" or.... "You full already"....like fat people dont have a limit or capacity to the amount of food they can eat!!!!
Dang Yaya you bought back some memories, but that's cool cuz I'm 70lbs lighter and LOVING IT!!! and i dont get asked stupid questions no more

I think the biggest misconception was that I wasnt concerned or in denial about my health or weight.
Speaking & suffering as a big girl, My weight has always been at the " forefront " of my thought process.
I was just never mentally strong or willfully determined enough to address my issues with food and my weight until.......well even now I struggle but Im more accepting of the fact that struggling is just part of this process.
But the desire was always there.

In life, and especially on this journey there are sure to be days when you falter and give in.......just remember to never give up.
I HATE how some treat me as if I'm INVISIBLE. They will help everyone around you but....dang - show a big girl some love!!!
Went to a home showing the other day, had an appointment & everything. The Agent walked right past us and went into the house w/another couple. Of course, with my shy-self, I walked in and confronted her. My husband was a bit embarassed but for real.....how dare she walk right past me/us like we're not even there!!! I will squish your tiny-self in one swoop!
Awww...hex no.

That we are not as good as thin people
or
We don't deserve stuff because "look at what you have done to yourself"
I was told you should find someone now by soo many mofo's after I lost that first 100lbs.
I dated more when I was 200plus,.. that is fact!
Dumb people would tell me how brave I was when I would get in the pool with my swimsuit on,.. I love to swim that never changed what am I suppose to wear a coat damn,...
Also, people would give me extra space when they passed by me and would sometimes not sit next to me. I used to think it was a race thing but when I started losing weight now I see it was a fat thing.
I used to get I would say 15-20% of the doors opened for me if I were coming in right behind a stranger and very rarely if ever by women. Now I noticed people will wait 100 yards just to hold the door open for me. I'd say that number is somewhere around 98% now. Weird huh! 100% if I am dressed up,..lol

I never had a misconception of being stank, sloppy, sure not stupid, Put them in check ever time someone step out of line , I so out spoken now the HB rather me keep quite only when he's with me. He can let them make he look like a fool ha I came out so sure. and not sure not contagious. Didn't get many door open know get them open to look at my a%* pass in front of them like I'm to stupid to know what they are doing.
What worst is when they see my HB is with me (thinking he's Hispanics), then the next day he not with me all the fools are looking at me like I rather something other than a Black man.
I feel lazy and messy because of my fibromyagia and disorganized only so much work can me done be for it flares up again and it looks like I am a slob
.
But when I hit the public No on every know how bad I feel I get behind close door and if you was a fly on the wall you have a lot to tell.
HATE WHEN THEY SAIDED YOU ARE THE BIGGEST TWIN HUH.
DAMN THAT WAS ROUGED
