Childhood Obsesity?
Did anyone here get treated unkindly for one an overweight child? How did it carry on into your manhood?
I was a rotund, poor kid and never got tease. . . Even now, I am an overweight womanly. I have never have trouble in the corral of dating (and no, I don't put out and the men I date are very attactive), I quip about my own weightiness and if people articulate anything jokingly I don't take offense to it, I grain comfortable in my own body, I am not idle. . .
Are people simply over-sensitive?
Answer:
I'm happy that you are comfortable near yourself. That shows that you have a soaring self esteem which is great. However, some people basically happen to seize teased and not in recent times coz they are overly sensitive. You might be a strong individual but some children, despite being strong personality, happen to assemble certain shudder types who tease them to bits. The self esteem of such kids over time tend to decrease especially if the mockery gets exceedingly frequent and in groups. It can be considered a form of bullying but slightly worse since a child is by humour somewhat sensitive to what others think of him/her. That is due to a person's want to 'fit in' and make friends. I for myself am not obese and never be but I did have friends who be. Some of them were 'strong' and did not mind mockery from some kids as they had fitting friends that didn't tease but some of them be quite sensitive to it. I guess it depends on characters (sensitive or thick-skinned) too but sometimes also on whom you arise to come across in time too and to what extent you are teased by them.
I am 16 years mature, therefore I won't speak give or take a few my "childhood" as really it was solitary a few years ago and now I'm within teen-hood, not adulthood ^_^
But I do hold a valid answer to the question. My mum works beside a lady who have had an corpulence problem all her energy, since she was a child she have suffered from an eating disorder and be terribly bullied at arts school. She has see the same councillor for over 10 years (it seem unbelieveable but trust me, this is the truth).
Now in her 50s she have had a stomach stapling operation, and shes lost an incredible amount of shipment, but the emotional trash seems something that no operation could possibly erase.
Her prime focus of conversation is always her freight. She always used to own to bring attention to the fact that she be over-weight, even with strangers, and even surrounded by the most inapropriate situations (work meetings) but she would take great affence if anyone else made a comment in the order of it.
And now, she brings attention to the certainty that shes had this operation, contained by resturants she always go into unnessasary details with the staff as to why she wishes to order a immensely small meals and she have to make a huge fuss while consumption. She always desires everyones attention on her and her weight.
I don't know if this can adjectives just be put down to her one bullied as a child, maybe it is surrounded by her personality and module of her eating disorder too, but I suggest that she'll always be this path emotionally, even though shes changed physically ( due to the operation) and I think that individual obese as a child has artificial her life dramatically.
When I be young I be a chubby kid.. I was tease a lot but have a bite. I would punch people who would make fun of me LOL. It did affect my life subsequently on. It opened my eyes to peoples atmosphere. Well I grew and stretched out, now I am 6'3. It does affect a kid profoundly when he is young even if he is not sensitive.
I read that article also because my sister is overweight and in a minute has a 7 yera feeble daughter that weighs 100 lbs. My Mom other said mean things to her and still to this sunshine is trying to make her lose wieght. I'm sure she'd resembling to be skinny but but she too jokes going on for her weight (She say she shops at Lane "Giant") I think she WANTS her daughter to be flabby to show my Mom that you can still love your child regardless of their weight which is really mournful. I know it bothers her though because we went shopping for her daughter sooner or later and she stepped of of the dressing room in a tight spandex top and you could see the dimples on her tummy through the shirt. My sister just started to cry and said she doesn't want her to walk through what she's been through. I don't ponder my neice gets picked on though. She seem tro be quite popular and have a lot of friends. Same as my sister was) Maybe that's due to their champion personalities!
