Shaming the 'Fat-Shamer's'

"It's really not glandular, it's your gluttony...We object to the enormous amount of food resources you consume while half the world starves. 

We disapprove of your wasting NHS money to treat your selfish greed.

 And we do not understand why you fail to grasp that by eating less you will be better off, slimmer, happy and find a partner who is not a perverted chubby-lover, or even find a partner at all.

We also object that the beautiful pig is used as an insult. You are not a pig. You are a fat, ugly human."

Imagine you're minding your own business. On the way to work, meeting a friend or running errands. And some random person you've never seen before in your life approaches you and give you one of these: 

On the back is the above statement.

 What sort of reaction would you give? How would you react knowing there is an actual organisation ( Overweight haters ltd, not a very catchy name I would point out, surely they could have come up with something more original?! They're likely too busy being alone and unhappy) going out on the London tube and giving anyone they don't deem as good enough one of these cards. 

Now I have a problem with these cards because they are just incorrect. Personally I don't eat allot as I work nights and don't have the bloody time to eat, I only use the NHS when I'm about to die, and I'm very happy with my non-chubby lover boyfriend. ( He's a lover of Justice ....haha...get it? lover of....never mind) I also damn well better not be a pig because well you know....bacon...yum.

The question is: how do you get through to people that this sort of body shamming is bullying? That it should be met with the same sort of outrage that's given to people bullied about other things: religion, skin colour, financial status. That by not stopping this sort of thing from happening , we're telling our children that its okay to single out and insult anyone who is different.

 You know who else used to single people out because they didn't approve of their appearance? Hitler!!! Guess how that turned out?

Its a well known, and sadly indisputable, fact that people feel entirely too comfortable making offensive and inappropriate comments about peoples appearance; particularly their weight. Its considered 'helping', 'positive criticism' or 'tough love' . 

It's not.

Don't let society fool you. There is absolutely no 'up-side' to this sort of brutal and vicious attack. It will not solve the obesity problem of the world. It will not 'motivate' anyone to lose weight. It will tear people down: Their confidence, their self assurance, their self reliance, it will damage their ability to love others, because if you can't love yourself, can you truly love someone else?

It will tear you down if you allow it.

DON'T.

This is one example of people trying to hold you back. These people have created limits to you as a person. Ignore them. Who gives one flying shit if these tossers don't like the size of your ass? Who cares if one group of people, with their one shared brain-cell, come up with a wildly unimaginative name and pass out cards on the tube. Don't allow people's opinions to be the reason you don't allow yourself to eat in public or never say you're hungry ( because as if someone our size could be hungry!?). The only way these people will win is if we let them.

 So my friends let us give these 'Overweight Haters ltd' a good old f@#! you and  just be...your way xxx
