Hi, jesyka! I've been fat since I was a baby, so people think it's okay to make fun of my weight. I've had people laugh at me for being fat my whole life, but it doesn't hurt me any less. I've had friends who were also fat but became fit after going to the gym and going on diets. They tell me "don't be lazy" or "don't pig out." I know it's meant to be a joke, but it definitely hurts. They don't know how hard I work on maintaining my weight, so they have no right to judge me.


The main problem is that a lot of people are insensitive. Some people think it's okay to make fat jokes on fat people and say, "well, if it were me I wouldn't get hurt." They don't think. Even if you tell them you don't like what they say, they still keep on doing it. That's the worst part, and that lack of understanding and respect will get them in trouble in the future.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time.
