Here's what they don't tell you about being fat
You are made to fit clothes
Your weight is the elephant in every room even when it shouldn't be
It's the first thing everyone notices
They judge you
You eat too much and move too little no matter what
The constant commentary about your body
You are always ignorant to a physician
The hurt is deep
You're only this way because you're lazy
You aren't supposed to exist
Everyone thinks food is your friend but it's honestly your worst enemy
Your parents start putting you on diets when you're young
Then on pills and injects when you're old enough
Being fat is the cause of all your problems
But never call yourself that
You are pretty but
You would be pretty if
They never carry your size in stores
Employees laugh at you a lot when you ask for a bigger size
You can't eat in public
Not ever
You aren't supposed to love yourself
Hell don't even like yourself
If you have any self-confidence at all you are a vain bitch
Guys aren't interested
You are always the best friend
People love to give you dieting advice
You are supposed to be grateful that they allow themselves to be seen with you
You are supposed to make yourself small
They make comments about how sweaty you get
You get made fun of
A lot
You are never anything else
Just Fat.
