Or are they just bullying the person? When you"fat shame" (and I use the term lightly), are you actually concerned about that person's wellbeing? Or does their existence offend you? Just curious..

When I was fat, I was bullied constantly, and I really just wanted to go die. I'm just curious if you are actually concerned for them, or if you are just doing it to be rude.

I've heard this said time after time as a campaign slogan, but it seems to place the importance of boobs in front of the woman's life. In my family in particular, there is a very strong history of breast cancer an when my oldest sister was diagnosed last year at the age of 33, they were able to stop the spread but she had to have a double mastectomy and now she said that campaign slogans like that make her feel like less of a woman. What do you think?

I heard many times that as soon as we get our periods, our height slows down suddenly. I guess the 2 inch or 1 plays some truth to it.

Personally, I grew 3 inches after getting my period at the age of 13 (from 5'3 to 5'6). I have a much younger female that's right now concern if she's going to grow. She's 12, recently started her period and is at 5'1.

I'm 5'1ft./145lbs. I'm very self conscious to the point that I don't like leaving the house, even though I do. All my life I cared about my weight. I stayed skinny, sometimes too skinny, because I did it in a very unhealthy way at times. I know I have a pretty face. I just always had a problem with my body. I'm never happy with it. I got help for my anorexia and over a few years I gained a lot of weight. I've never worked out to lose weight. I have lost 20lbs by dieting but that isn't working anymore. So I joined a gym. But when I walked in I see all these perfect bodies. Women where toned and skinny even sweating they looked good. The guys were ripped or at least defined to the point of drool worthy. Are they looking at me as I work out and will they be amused by me? I noticed when the woman took me around, that when I walked by them they did watch what we were talking about. So that makes me think that they aren't so lost in their workout that they won't notice me. I won't be able to workout as hard as them. I want to workout in a dark room because I guarantee I won't look remotely pretty sweating my ass off. I need a place where someone can show me how to workout so I need the gym.
What do people think when they see someone over weight working out?
I'm sorry this might not seem like a big deal but I'm freaking out over it.

I eat about 5 meals per day
