The Often Overlooked Struggles of Being Overweight

Peter Rapine Published 05/24/2022 in feels

The next time you think about putting someone down for their weight, please consider how your actions might affect them. Fat people are people just like the rest of us, but sadly they often don't get the same respect that the rest of us do.

This story was collected for Ask Reddit and is worth a further read if you have the time.

Ask Reddit is like the town square of the internet. It's a place for people to get together and have honest and unfiltered conversations about what our lives are really like. And sometimes the topics can get a little real. Like this thread, where people share their experience of living life as a 'fat person.'
2.
We've all dealt with issues when it comes to our bodies. Are we too big, are we too small? But few of us have had to face problems this head-on, and for that, we feel sympathy.
3.
If you know, you know. And sure, you're thinking, well I don't treat people like this, I don't judge them by their pants size. Do you? Because if you do, then you are the scum of the Earth. It's a good reminder for many of us of what life is like for people who struggle with their weight.
4.
Keep going dude, you got this!
5.
I'm guilty of being this person I have no problem admitting that. But there might be a better solution than me just sucking it up. Airlines should make the seats bigger because even though I'm skinny, I hardly fit in those damn seats myself.
6.
We can all relate to this one in some form or another. Maybe we're having a bad hair day, maybe we packed on a few beer pounds. Or maybe were just not feeling our best selves.
7.
This one hit home. If you treat people based on how they look then you need some serious help. It's not cool to judge people, especially for their weight.
8.
Not sure this is an exclusively big boy issue, but maybe an age one?
9.
Oh man, I never thought about this.
10.
"Hey, can you give a brother a hand?" Imagine how Shaq must feel?
11.
12.
I want to give this bro a hug. Put that shirt back on, and forget what people think.

This is a theme that keeps coming up and we're shocked that so many people feel this way. It must be hard loving yourself when people don't treat you with the same respect they treat others. Just heartbreaking.
