I am fed up with people who hurl abuse. I am overweight, so I walk into work in an attempt to loose some weight. On my journey there however, I regularly have to suffer verbal abuse from kids going to school, thugs in vans and car drivers. Why do these people all feel that they have the right to yell abuse at me because of the way I look?
I have on occasion had food thrown at me
I am trying to sort my body out, but I don't deserve to live with this constant fear of walking around and trying to avoid people who shout insults at me because they think it's funny to see someone overweight . They forget all about it once they have driven past me or turned the corner.
I do not forget the incident however because it's actually very hurtful. I have on occasion had food thrown at me, have been told to "f*** off" and had insults such as "fat bastard" yelled at me from car windows and I'm sick of it.
People everywhere regardless of their weight, size and body shape deserve to be allowed to live their lives as they wish without persecution. I don't go around insulting other people no matter who they are or how distasteful I find them.
Live and let live I say. I just cannot understand how it is that some people seem to think they can say whatever they like to complete strangers. Whatever happened to common decency and simple politeness?

My dad isn't the above at all, he is a very kind and generous person who really looks after me, spins my wheel when I am lacking in energy, leaves the light on at night cos I don't like the dark and when he visits the local food-bank takes as much as will go in his car so that the fatties can't get their hands on it and make themselves even fatter, how kind can you get!
I see a Nobel prize in the future for my dad.
the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.
a literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or ridicule.
Please tell me how a person in this country who chooses to buy a potato instead of a bag of crisps is any way helping a poor person to afford more food
A poor person can buy a few potatoes (pennies) but not a few bags of
crisps (6 X 25gram bags for £1.30) that's about four potatoes.
So..... to carry it to its illogical conclusion, by stuffing your gob with crisps you are depriving a poor person of the potatoes that they COULD afford.
"If you are concerned about poverty then do something to help them."
Who said I was concerned about poverty? not me.
Please watch "secret eaters" all will be revealed.
More rubbish generated by Stalag's computer, think I'll put it on auto-type.
However, regarding your theory; I think a computer would spell and punctuate better!
Unless the poor writing is part of it's diguise of course.....
I am overweight.
I have had a health scare.
it is a real pitty that it have taken a health scare to give me a wake up call.
thus morning my breakfast was one apple, one pair, a benecol yogurt and a little actimel drink. oh and a coffee.
I have given up alcohol and I do not (and never have) smoke.
the reason I am overweight is simple. alcohol and un healthy foods and too much of both.
Some people overeat because of psychological problems and really don't need to be made to feel even worse about themselves.
Yes, there are people in the world who don't have enought to eat. It's because they are poor , not because someone else eats too many crisps! If you are concerned about poverty then do something to help them.
Calories in calories out.
Most of the food you eat is just to maintain body temperature and any excess input of food is stored as fat; any excess of protein is excreted and not stored.
Just watch "secret eaters" on the telly, it is never their fault that they are overweight.
Being overweight is .....always..... caused by eating too much!
If you eat nothing at all you will loose about 3/4 Lb a day, after a few weeks, (eight?) you will be skinny and dead, according to how much you weighed at the start.
So all you Gluttons out there.......stop stuffing your face, there are plenty of people in the world who don't get enough to eat so next time you stuff that pork pie, kebab, crisps, chips in your gob feel guilty....please.
