fed up
I'm getting really sick and tired of seeing people on here insult large people. Just because we're fat doesn't mean we don't have emotions too! Ugh! I think it's time for me to leave this site. It has changed so much to me.
I dont think anyone was meanimg to insult you personally or all bigger people. I'm sorry hon.. it's a great site for support but i can understand where you are coming from..
When you're overweight, a drug addict, an alcoholic or anything with an unhealthy "classification" of course you're going to take it personally.
I don't remember seeing anything like that, and I'm on here all the time. What did people say?
I'm a larger woman and would really like to see what the post said. If it was offensive and out of line it needs to be reported.
I'm 350lb+ and every time have asked a question have had nothing but friendly advice, at no point has anyone said anything hurtful to me. Maybe you just found some people on a bad day?
It wasn't directed towards me personally in any of the posts. It was making fun of someone overweight who made a comment that didn't want to be heard
I think i may know what she's referring too, as people were talking about comment made to them about being pregnant and we were saying no we're not pregnant we're fat. I am sorry if any of my comments or anyone elses offended you, i am positive it was not any of our intentions. We were just posting in a sense of humor. Not specifically to offend anyone.
I'm sorry you feel that way, I know I try to go out of my way to make sure everyone knows that no matter WHAT size you are, you're beautiful. After many years of struggling with my weight, (I'm pretty chunky myself), I've learned to just love myself, my husband loves me, my kids love me, and I am always going to love them, no matter how I look! So I hope you don't feel that way!! :( And if someone does say something to insult you, whether it was directed at you or not, make sure you say something, or report it!
It wasn't that Linny. One comment was the fact that "someone overweight that made a comment to them probably had more health issues than a third world country" there has been other posts from a later date that have upset me but that comment, pushed it too far.
I think everyone has a beauty to them no matter what size, shape, gender, race, status or whatever i am the least judge mental person as i have been through so much in life so i know i didn't mean it to insult anyone. That's if my comment did. Not sure if it was me.
If it was my post I'm sorry you were offended. I myself am obese, and most of my family is obese or heavier. It just makes me mad when an obese MAN pipes up like he has any room to talk about how big I already am on top of being pregnant.
I'm sorry that the fact that I deal with my obesity by being able to say things like that offends you.
Like i said earlier i dont think any if the comments were made to offend larger people.
We all on here are pretty good with being supportive of each other.
And factorymomma i think it's wonderful you can have a sense of humor about it being in the same situation if you understand what i mean. It's just hard to hear the sarcasm or humor when text is so bold. :\

Maybe this time it is my hormones but between this site and 2 others the comments really seem to be full blown the last couple days.
I really didn't mean to offend you. Lots of obese people have absolutely no health problems, thats a fact.
But this gentleman was most definitely in the "i have health problems that I won't take care of" category.
I myself have three bad valves in my heart which are kind of a catch-22. I want to lost weight and exercise, but if I try to do anything to much exertion wise, my heart can't keep up. So I'm stuck where I'm at unless I starve myself :-P

Everyones sense of humor is different. I dont think anyone meant to offend anyone. I think its kind of like the "abortion" posts. Things are going to be posted and said and if it offends u than u just gotta look past and not read it. It offends me extremely when ppl post things about ppl who chose to get abortions are classified as "murders" and since i had one yrs ago for personal reasons it upsets me to be classified as 1. I have friends that are black and make black jokes, im Mexican and white and i can take a joke, i dont think its any different to say a "fat joke" when pregnant as MANY women feel larger when pregnant.
Factorymom i have a sense of humor and i think its funny and feel the same way. I dont find u offensive and have read many posts where u were nothing but supportive and helpful. Dont let it stress u as u have enough on ur plate with ur c-section in a few days.

I'm not trying to upset anyone at all. But, like those aboirtion posts ppl voice their opinions and so have I. It's easier to skip a post the is labelled "abortion" as other are usually people venting (which I totally get)
Nor am I trying to make anyone feel bad. But, as we all know we're all hormonal. That's why I didn't want to repeat the post. I'm not here to "call anyone out" as I believe factorymomma gives great advice aswell. And it wasn't solely her comment that upset me. I too am in the same situation as you factorymomma where I can't over exert myself due to injuries from a car accident so, unless I pay Jenny Craig my life savings Penningtons is my best friend. However, at times I feel like people wonder when they look at me why I don't take care of myself.

I completely agree with ashleigh529 sometimes you should just read past what some people post. Factorymama I actually thought your comment was funny. Im a large, short woman myself and I get larger men cracking jokes about how I look pregnant. So don't worry. I think hormones are just taking a toll on everyone right
Im sorry but i dont see y u act like u never thought or said something about someone else. I know we try not to offend people and stay positive and b supportive to people. But everyone at some point in there life has judged someone else. He/she is ugly, fat, why does that person look like that (not knowing the person was burned in a bad accident) etc. So the fact u got offended and dont want to be on here anymore blows my mind. Everyone on here keeps saying sorry and they don't mean to offend anyone else. I dont know how people can be any nicer or more supportive. U aint going to find that in the world. Any where else people would jump up and want to fight or curse each other out. No ones perfect not even u.
