If there had to be prejudice in the world, why not making it something WORTHWHILE like stupidity, ignorance, etc.?
Why something as superficial as weight???
Funny that you mention Body Dysmorphic Disorder. I have the same thing-- I see myself as wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy fatter than I am. Or maybe not? I always make comments like "my fat butt", "sit my fat self down", "wait let me cover up my rolls before you take that picture!" "don't get my fat butt in that picture" and things of that nature. I will always consider myself fat-- I even see myself as 500 lbs. still. I can't get it out of my head. I even do "fat stuff" like making sure the toilet stall is big enough to maneuver around, making sure the arms of a chair are wide enough to fit me, making sure the space between the booth and the table in the restaurant is big enough and I've recently stopped bending over like a fat girl after I became aware that I was doing it.
And why do fat/thin people feel this way? Because of the way society forces its collective "standards" on others.
I say phooey!
Warmly,
Brandi
