For people who have never had issues with their weight there is an automatic assumption that being overweight is easy. Being obese is not fun! Everyone's road to becoming obese is different, mine being a tailspin that never got under control until it was way too late.
What is clear at least to me is that obese people have some fundamental aspect of their life which is out of control. Some people are self destructive by drinking, or getting high for fatty's it's something internal that manifests itself through food. Ask an obese person if they enjoy food, they don't!
How can they when for the most part their taste buds aren't functioning properly because of diabetes, high blood pressure, or some other ailment. It's not about the taste of food as it is the actual act of consumption. I doubt that most obese people enjoy anything they eat beyond the first few bites. I promise you if you know someone who is obese that the weight is not the only part of their life which is out of control, their something else that they are keeping a secret which is royally fucked up. How can anyone function normally when your body is screaming for relief?
In any case I don't know what ails every fat person but I do know something internally made feel small as a person which made me become physically BIG! As a result there are a few things that really suck!
10-Not Fitting into An Airplane Seat, and fighting to keep yourself from spilling over into the person next to you.
9-Going to a restaurant with a friend and being seated at a booth and cringing before you sit down, hoping your gut doesn't touch the table.
8-Always checking restaurants to see if they have chairs with arm rests, and wondering if you can sit in them.
7-Being selective about the furniture you choose to sit in, and rather choosing to stand even if you are exhausted because you don't want to be the but of a joke because a leg broke.
6-Having to buy clothes at the XL store = which means ONLY FAT PEOPLE SHOP HERE!
5-Paying double the price for every piece of clothing you own because #1 more fabric, and #2 they know you have no other choices!
4-Major Sleep Apnea and feeling like shit all the time!
3-Avoiding public places in general because you can't stand the feeling of everyone starring at the fat man
2-Avoiding your friends and family because you are afraid not of their reaction but the reaction of other people as you spend time with them.
1-Not being able to hold your girlfriends hand in public because she is nice and thin, because some asshole will make a gesture or comment under there breath that just devastates you as a person.
