I’m back because I’ll always be a bored panda it seems. Trying not to let the trolls get to me this time :D
Anyways everything has changed on here and it’s kinda weird
Here’s my bio:
-my favorite animals are collies (not border collies, the other ones)
-I train dogs, and dogs are kinda my whole life
-My favorite color is yellow
I don’t know what else to put, I’ll add more later!

How people treat you. With active disdain. People glare at you, they scoff at you, they make faces of disgust when seeing you. Random-a*s people feel free to honk at you and yell s**t from their car, when you walk alongside the road. The hatred is honestly intense.SlapDatBassBro reply
Having to face the dilemma of choosing the perfect outfit every time you leave the house. A lot of obese people are incredibly self-conscious about their bodies, and will wear more/bigger clothes to feel more comfortable. This makes you overanalyse the weather and stuff. Layering wrong is gonna make you too hot or too cold later on.Maximum_Enthusiasm46 reply
Just how much internalized shame we carry. If you’ve seen someone who was really skinny struggle with shame, with thinking that they are too fat, and feeling guilty about how they look….that same shame lives inside so many of us. And a lot of us are honestly doing the best we can with subpar health care and normalized stigma.Just__A__Commenter reply
Here’s a positive in a thread full of negatives: I am wayyyy stronger than you think I am. Every moderately active obese person is stronger than anyone else doing the same level of activity, especially in the legs department. As fat as I am, my calf muscles are f*****g shredded.rehpot821 reply
Just because we are obese doesn’t mean we can’t do physical activity. People don’t have to act surprised that we can indeed participate. I’ve heard this from people when I’ve gone to play soccer or any other sport. I am not the fittest guy playing, but it doesn’t mean that I’m going to die if I run around for a bit.Complete-Scar-2077 reply
The constant need to physically adjust yourself. I wear clothes that fit but I'm still constantly adjusting my clothes, my body position, etc. just to be comfortable and for my clothes to have a chance of hiding some of what's going on here. My thin friends almost never adjust their clothes and such.Anko_Dango reply
As someone who was once obese, and now is just a bit over weight Holy F**K is it hard to keep it off. I still want to eat like I did when I was heavier.spacemermaid3825 reply
That if fatshaming worked, there wouldn't be fat people. Also that, yes, I do exercise 3-5 days a week and I do diet, and I don't just stuff my mouth with junk food day in and day out.lyan-cat reply
I have limited places I can comfortably go due to the width of my a*s. I would love to go to a concert, or a movie, or on a plane, but it literally *hurts* to wedge my butt into the seat and I lose circulation in my legs if I can't move. I would love to go on rollercoasters or ferris wheels. I don't lack *desire*. On top of that issue, using public toilets is *extremely* uncomfortable. I prefer to use the handicapped stall, and I *despise* the times I have had to use the regular size stall. Multiply that discomfort by 1000 if I'm on my period. I feel like I always have to be tidy, smell good, and be super put-together to "make up" for people being inconvenienced by my presence.warrenjt reply
The guilt that comes when you’re seen eating anything at all. The “aww good for you!” if you’re seen eating a salad because the only possible reason a fat dude would eat a salad is to lose weight. The existential dread every time you get a random pain in your chest or stitch in your side and think that this could finally be the heart attack. The fact that you can go days or weeks at a time without really feeling bad about being fat but then all of a sudden one day it’s all you can notice about yourself. Summer f*****g sucks. It’s too hot anyway, but being fat makes it hotter. And then you get worried that — despite having perfectly good if not over the top hygiene — maybe you’re starting to have “fat guy smell.”.azninvasion2000 reply
I'm not obese but my sturdy friend says you always get this look when boarding a plane in economy where everyone hopes to god you're not in the seat next to them.Dels79 reply
That for some of us, losing weight is extremely difficult. Some medications can make you excessively hungry. Also those of us with long-term depression and anxiety issues often use food as a source of comfort. We *know* it's a poor choice, but in the moment, we don't think of anything but eating something tasty. Having people patronise us actually makes things worse, not better. A Happy Doggo • 31 followers
