If we could change one thing about you - it would be your weight. Everyone pretty much agrees that you're fat. We don't like fat people. We don't care how fat we are, or how many flaws we might have - it's you that has the problem. We've always thought you were fat. When you weighed 170 lbs & wore a size 13, we were the ones who said you were obese. We didn't care that most of that weight was muscle. We didn't care that you fell below the national average. We just knew that you were different. Different is bad, why haven't you figured this out yet? We're the ones who think that large skeleton means fat. We are also the ones who think fad diets are good for you. We don't believe that you can gain weight if you have a medical condition. We starve ourselves, why don't you? What's wrong with you? Why don't you work out 5 hours a day like us? Why don't you give up your personal happiness to be just like us? We don't understand you. We will say that because you weigh more than us that of course you can eat 3 times as much regardless of the truth. We think that our eating disorders are better than yours because ours has tv movies made about them. Where's the fat people movie? There isn't one because we, the emaciated, only want to see other thin people. We think protruding hip bones are sexy. We think barbie is the perfect shape. We don't care that supermodels don't have realistic or even close to average proportions. We defy logic. Why? Because fat is evil. Why don't you want to be like us? That's what we would change about you - we would wish you thin so you wouldn't be different & scary anymore.

We're here to help you,
