What people say and think about obese people is sickening. I was obese all my life until age 40, when at 311 pounds BMI 54, I was tormented as a child and teen, denied employment as an adult. No one wanted date me or be seen with me, stare at me eating.

I had a big complicated WLS to ensure I would lose weight and never gain it back. For the last 12 years I have been normal weight, have a great job and people who care about me. I can see how others treat the obese and it make me shutter how cruel people are. In today's society, it is not acceptable to be a raciest or make fun of handicapped, mentally challenged, LGBT, or people who are different, but it is open season to discriminate on fat people.

Fat people are still people.
