What to say to health professionals who don’t respect your size
Posted: 11-11-2009 07:38 PM Author: Tante Terri |

People who don't know any better make negative comments about others' weight or size all the time. Though we know there's nothing wrong with the way we look, it's great to have some snappy comebacks on hand to whip back at our ignorant accusers. Got a witty comeback or looking for one? Share it here.

Were you a big kid? Did other kids give you a hard time about it? Share your stories here in this safe and therapeutic space. Sometimes just saying it can be very cathartic. If you don't feel comfortable talking about it here, consider writing it down in a diary and letting it come out. If things are better now - and we hope they are - make sure to share how.

On the news. In movies. On the radio. The media is awash with comments about fat and fat people. "The Obesity Epidemic," or "Fast Food Nation," or any number of other terms we hear daily - not to mention the volume of shows with fat people on them these days. Discuss the way fat is being portrayed in the media here.

Something GOOD Happened on the Way to the Forum
In an environment like this - a comforting and supportive one in which people can voice their concerns, fears and stories - many incline towards discussing the negative. That's a natural thing to do, but we want to discuss the positive things that happen to us as well, either to give shout-outs to those who made us feel special, or just to tell a nice story about something that happened to us. So, here's a place to share any positive experience you like.
