So yes when I hear or see things like that, of course I will
defend my side, even though I am not that big anymore, I will always defend, especially
if you have never been overweight. I can only speak for myself when it comes to
my weight. For me it started when young, it was an emotional eating behavior
that I had started to do as a child more so as a coping mechanism and gradually
got worse as I got older. Now in my thirties, I feel like I have gotten more of
a control over my eating habits. Especially after going to therapy and even
reading a book that my therapist had recommended to me. The book is called when
food is love, very good book and I highly recommend it, the author made sure to
not make it like a self help book, but more so about her life and the stories
that she had been through.
So back to the vegetarian, when I read her post I at first
thought twice to even say anything. Then I realized that it doesn't have to be
an argument (my thoughts in my mind: “just write something respectful and get
your point across, who knows she might actually understand or want to listen,
just do it what is the worse that could happen”) so I did, I wrote to her and
basically said that she shouldn’t assume that just because people are overweight
doesn’t mean that they are fat slobs that are lazy and don’t care. No!!!!! Some
people are overweight due to medical issues, and others are because of
psychological, stress, depression, eating disorder, and maybe they choose to
just be overweight because they love food too much. You can’t judge a book by its
cover, you can’t assume so quick. Of course it is only natural as a human being
to do so, to assume. She had responded back, a very long message going off on tangent
saying that she is helping these people by telling them to put down the bacon,
then she goes off on being a vegetarian and why she is a vegetarian and how the
animals are brutally murdered and how they lay in a cage with all their shit
and piss, and then we ingest all of that. She goes off even more talking about
how she knows about depression and that she takes anti depressants and so she
knows what people go through, and that those people should just go get help.
It is easier said than done, the best way to describe the
want or the need to lose weight or to stop a very bad habit, it is almost like
a click in your head, an epiphany, or like Oprah says an aha moment. That is
when you have it in your mind to change. I had responded back to her basically
saying that she pretty much went off topic, I was never speaking badly about
vegetarians, I have friends who are vegetarians, that is their choice, if that
is what you want to do then great I applaud you for doing that. What I care about is when someone like this
vegetarian criticizes and demoralizes those who have probably heard it day in
and day out that they are fat. Just
because you are someone who is of average size, who is accepted by the overall population as “beautiful”,
“normal” or “skinny”, Doesn't mean that you are now the dietitian for all
fucking fat people in this world. You can’t even begin to understand and
truthfully hopefully you will never understand what it is to be and or even
feel that way. Speak of what you know, not of what you think you know.
So to the vegetarian, I truly hope that your ignorance will
change into knowledge and awareness, you don’t motivate people by being hurtful
or mean, you motivate by praising them, Again
only to the ones who ask for your motivation. You have no right to go to a
random person and tell them they are fat and they will be healthier if they
stopped eating all the shit they eat. We are aware of the consequences; the
problem is we have to realize when to start making conscious choices in our
lives. As to a response to your last reply, just
because you are a vegetarian for what 3.5 seconds doesn't make you all high and
mighty of nutrition my dear. Go on continue with your little trendy thing to
do, because I don’t really believe you are a true vegetarian, but that is
neither here or there. Yes I will be having a beautiful fat fucking 2015, happy
new year.
So for all of you whom have read this blog I truly hope you
realize that being cruel and insulting to
anyone who is different and whom don’t live up to society standards doesn't mean that they are horrible disgusting
people.
Thank you for reading.
