The other side of the coin, to all you people saying that fat people should "just lose weight"

"oooooh noooo here comes Another fat landwhale whining that it is not easy"

Shut. The F**K. UP.

I weigh 75kg and am 180cm so I am not. i don't care if you don't Believe me, i am not ashamed and i am not going to hide behind anonimity and hide my face.

"here fatty, have a snack" as he threw a snickers bar in my face

i saw a take today, as i have seen many others of people saying it is simple;

"stop eating and get moving"

The other side of the coin, to all you people saying that fat people should "just lose weight"

when i was a kid, i was not fat, i was a regular healthy boy. problem is, i got bullied. i was alone for all my school years. i gained weight. in highschool it peaked. i got bullied more and more, and i kept gaining weight. i even skipped breakfast and lunch, and only ate Little, and still gained weight.

"go throw yourself in front of the train, then the World is rid of you" said kid one

"nah he shouldn't, the train would probably Bounce off" replied the other

Lunch time:

i open my lunchbox; "oooooh how many pizzas come out this time?" as everyone laughed. i was ashamed and closed my lunchbox again, containing a single sandwich with salami.

when i tried to exercise, i was laughed at:

"look at fatty go"

"move those rolls baby"

"damn he is fat"

on the way home

i was sitting in silence, when a couple of kids found it fun to throw licorice at me. i had a hard time not Crying, and as soon as one tear escaped, they saw, and basically rolled on the floor laughing

my mom spent 15 minutes removing licorice from my hair

The other side of the coin, to all you people saying that fat people should "just lose weight"

i spent every night Crying, and hated myself more than my bullies did. i was alone in the dark with only my thoughts to make it worse. i was depressed, had no energy. worse, i had a disease called "borrelia" which sapped what Little energy i had, and the rest was taken care of by not eating enough.

and i still gained weight

tell me, how would i lose weight? how would i "stop eating" when i already did?

am i also one of those "lazy" people that refuse to exercise and blame the World for their own problems?

was it my fault that i gained weight? and that i still cannot eat to much refined sugar because my weight multiplies in 5 hours?

I emigrated.

that's how i fixed it. i got to Another country, with people that weren't fucking assholes, telling me to "just stop stuffing my face". i managed to get my thoughts in order, it took 4 years

4 years, because people kept saying "get your fat ass moving". they, and you, know NOTHING about what i faced

i quit sugar, i Went through special training to increase my muscle flexibility to prevent muscle pain after exercise. i build up my endurance, one minute at the time

now:

not fat. i haven't eaten anything with sugar (on purpose and i am careful) for 2-3 years, and i exercise at least half an hour a day now that school began for me (vacations one hour a day). and i have stretchmarks to remind me of my promise to stay fit.

what is my message?

don't brand every fat person as a lazy whiny bitch that can just "stop eating and get moving"

thanks.
