Two Fat Ladies, Jennifer Paterson and Clarissa Dickson Wright |
I don't like to hear it. I simply hate it. Why? because it makes me feel like I'm damaged goods. My husband and I are the only "fat friends" in our circle but sometimes I question the activities we're invited to and which ones we hold back on. There may be some truth to it but it's also sounds like a correlation study (not conclusive) so there may be more negative stigma for fat people over something the media doesn't fully explain. In the end, I know a real friend will be there whether I'm fat or not. I also know I'm working on it and enjoy the company of my good friends while doing it. I just wish the media would get all of the facts about a study and explain it fully to the public so people on the radio wouldn't talk about it in such a nasty way.
