I've had people judge me for eating bad food, or judge me for eating at all. I mean I get it, yes I'm fat, and yes I should want to change (and do want to change). But that doesn't mean I have to give up eating junk entirely. Just not all the time and when I do it's a treat.
Someone can be bigger, be on a weightloss journey and still eat some junk food. The worst thing you can do is to make certain foods forbidden. It will only make you want them more.
The best thing you can do is have a diet that contains a variety of foods, with healthy foods being
consumed most often.
I've also had people in stores avoid me (salespeople) because I am a 'challenging' customer because of my size. Really I am big, but I can still typically wear most larger size tops (like Large or XL).
The best way you can deal with it, is to not let it get under your skin. Realize that other people's opinions do not define who you are.
When you are feeling beaten down by the comments, remind yourself of your good qualities. This always helps me. People obviously like you, and there has to be reasons for that. You have good qualities that draw people to you. So think about those things.
That's just straight up rude because people shouldn't judge
You deal with it by changing it. If you are unhappy with your weight stop letting your weight make you unhappy. "Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present." -Steve Jobs
I'm not going to sugar coat it, our society is too obsessed with the belief that their feelings are the most important thing. You need to look at reality though. You are 20-30 pounds overweight with a weight standard that's tolerances have increased greatly the last few years. It makes you uncomfortable and because of that your weight makes everything else uncomfortable.
-Make a plan
-Find a gym
-Stop eating food that is disgusting for you. (There are so many fast options that don't come with 700 calories per beef patty)
-Work out three times a week to start with (strength train and do some cardio)
-After you increase the frequency of the gym rotations start increasing cardio.
-Keep your healthy lifestyle
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and stop relying on sympathy/empathy. Fight for your happiness and stop expecting it to come in the form of false acceptance or luck.
Truthfully,
Sean
I used to be very overweight, and I always felt ashamed ordering food. I also felt like they were judging me. If I ordered a lot of food I felt like they were thinking "what a FatA**" the whole time. Now that I've finally managed to lose most of the weight I don't feel that anymore. It's kind of nice to actually be able to order a bunch of food and not feel like they're completely judging you. I still carry around the feeling like I'm overweight since I was overweight for more than half my life it kind of stuck to me. I for one actually love to eat a lot so its fun to see them see a skinny guy and assume "Oh he'll probably have the small meal." and then I get to say "Give me a jumbo sized meal." Like their mind is blown completely. I hated that constant feeling of being judged and not being able to enjoy my meal and feeling like I have to hold back so I don't look like a total fat kid. One thing to remember is that they're a fast food employee so who really cares what they think anyways.

It's probably just in your head, we're our own worst critics.
UNLESS you're so incredibly big that there is no valid excuse on this earth for why you're not trying to lose weight and get healthier, even if it's just portion control and NOT EATING GARBAGE AT RESTAURANTS. None of that processed crap is good for anyone.
I admit that I do judge people based on their weight, but only if they're behemoths. A guy with a beer belly, no big deal. A lady that's had a few kids and it shows, so what? But when someone's ankles are so fat that they're bigger than my thighs, holy crap! Or when their gut spills over their belt and flops around out of control. It's like I'm literally watching the slowest suicide ever.
I think the looks you're seeing on the cashier's face are probably just your insecurities showing themselves. Not to mention, the cashier probably has seen so many people before you, that maybe after a while the people blur together. Not to mention, there are probably people bigger than you that have come in before you. So, you're not gonna be the worst they're seen. And, most people are generally more caught up in finishing their food. Or, might be more worried if people are looking at them. And, as far as asking if you want the biggest item on the menu, they're supposed to do that, because if you buy that you spend more money. Usually something they always ask, unless you have already ordered the biggest item. I would just say, as long as you're happy with what you look like, just be happy and do what you enjoy. You only live once, may as well not waste it on what people think of you.
It's probably all in your head. First of all, I'm rather athletic but still, every single time I order fast food the cashiers try to sell me the biggest options and as much extras "just for 50 more cents" as they can. It's not because you're big, it's because they're forced to ask that to every customer by their employer's policy.
As for the looks, I don't think it has anything to do with your weight. They're more than used to see huge people ordering humongous meals. They're not even paying attention, you're just imagining because of your complex.
You really shouldn't care what other people think of you. You do what makes you happy. If you feel your weight is an issue, then I'm sure you know what to do if you wish to do something about it but don't let other people judge you.
CAshiers are normal people. They react to what they see in front of them. If someone overweightorders a lot of food, they are a little amused--or disgusted. And some of them, on the other hand, will try to be courteous by recommending large items to a large person!
Silly of them, but they mean well, actually. Both people are just trying to help you.really. Maybe they aren't going about it the most tactful way, but they DO want to help!
When I was overweight I never experienced that, but I always felt like it was going to happen so I would order salads or kids menu items that I didn't really want so that they wouldn't look at me like that. Doing that did help me lose weight but I was always hungry and nothing tasted very pleasant.
I just don't give a sh*t. They're just a pathetic person working in a fast food restaurant with a billion pimples from all that grease, making minimum wage, while I'm doing something with my life. I don't go to fast food places often though. I'm losing weight now, but trust me, it's not for them.
I'm kinda fat so what I do if they ask do I want the biggest order is say yes and leave half of it all over the table for them to clean up guaranteed they won't be as much of a d*** next time.
Never really bothers me, I am. Or huge by any means pretty average but sometimes just because I have to buy for my little family I get a look I just laugh or smile and sometimes make a lame joke and they usually smile.
Im overweight but I carry it well, so its kinda hard to tell, but I could lose a few pounds as well
