i didnt post as bluntly as i could have in regards to my feelings re ''fat'' because i didnt want to offend anyone but i noticed that many dont have a problem with referring to people as bony skinny twigs,thin as a rail etc
That's you, icey, just being you. However, I have seen the terrible ridicule and abuse that obese people have to go through. And it's not too nice. Programs have been produced that show how people who are overweight are terrorized by others.

On the other hand, most people, who are extremely thin are not subject to that same ridicule. A glance or an omg might be expressed, but it's more discreet. Meaning they don't throw garbage and rocks at them, whilst name-calling.

lol and even if unspoken, you're still thinking it.
