"The Fat girl ends up miserable year after year. The society has neglected the fuller woman. This has resulted to fat girls feeling depressed, left-out and downcast. The average big lady spends most of their years in solitude, angry at themselves, the society and even their shadow. Many are being laugh at, ridiculed, jilted, abused and sent back indoors where they are depressed and even get fatter. The society is such a big nightmare for this group of people which is saddening." Continue...
When they go for shopping which is a very beautiful and fun experience for almost every lady. But for the fat girl, it’s a rather sober experience. In many cases, sizes are deceptive to the extent that a size 12 dress will be tagged size 18. She has to through every cloth in the store before she finds what fits her. Sometimes, she ends up not seeing any flattering outfit. Again, the sadness begins.
Then she turns to her tailor to make a good dress for her. A beautifully styled dress she saw in a magazine page. The tailor makes it, it’s still not flattering. Sarcastically, the tailor says, “I find it difficult sewing for fat girls, it is too hard”. Again, the sadness begins.
Her soon-to-be-married best friend calls, “Wendy, will you be one of my bridesmaids”? “Don’t answer of course you will”. She is excited.“Will call you up later so we go choose the dresses with the other girls”. Her heart drops. Shopping bridesmaids with the other girls, she knows will be a huge nightmare because she is the “fat girl”. While shopping, The saleslady says, "We don't have your size, so here's the biggest we do have," and she gives it a try. Of course, it never fits. Her underarm fat is spilling over, her back fat is folding over the waist, and she can't get the thing to slip over her butt. But it looks beautiful on everyone else! And she is left feeling guilty for being more than a handful. Again, the sadness begins.
At NYSC orientation camp. The fat girl is handed her dress bag. She opens it. The kaki trouser is as small as a size 6’s whereas she is a size 18. “Ma’am, dis kaki is too small for me, can I get a larger size”, she says to the platoon mistress. The lady murmurs, “Exchange with someone else”. (lol, we’ve all experienced this). And she looks around, no one has her size. Most of other corpers, she may ask will reply saying, “NOO!!! I no carry orobo size”. Everyone laughs at her. Again, the sadness begins.
Every fat lady go through post-traumatic dress disorder. It is the condition that occurs when a person, usually female, feels disappointed and traumatized while leaving a clothing store. It could happen when she views old photographs and asks herself "What the hell was I wearing???" It could also be the traumatic stress she feels between the moment she post a picture on the Internet and the moment somebody likes it or responds. Fat people go through this stress all the time and the society is not being fair at all. 80% of Heart-related illnesses which fat people suffer are because they spend most of their years depressed, not just about their size but because of social prejudicial.

TERRIBLY WRITTEN ARTICLE. I DONT KNOW ANY FAT PERSON IN THIS CENTURY WHO CAN RELATE TO THIS. SHIT HAS CHANGED. FAT PEOPLE DO NOT NEED TO BE PITIED. THERE ARE MANY PLUS SIZE CLOTHING STORES, MANY GUYS WHO LOOK BEYOND SIZE. DON'T THROW A PITY PARTY FOR FAT GIRLS, NO ONE ASKED YOU
I can't believe people still look at fat this way. First of all I don't see how Beyonce is a definition of curvy. She is a normal sized woman. Kimk yes, and I wouldn't even use her cause half of her body isn't real. Maybe someone like Megan Trainor I would call curvy. I am not curvy, I am fat. I still carry a good shape, I always look good in my clothes and always walk with confidence when i go out. Not all fat people are fat because they are lazy or gorge themselves with food. I have a fairly fit boyfriend and I cant compete with him when it comes to eating. Physically he can run faster than me or lift heavier things than me. But I have endurance. I can walk miles...and I have. Sex is in no way boring, as a matter of fact I am way more adventurous than he is. I do my morning Yoga everyday, not for fitness but more as a way to wake my body up and the opportunity to meditate after a good stretch is just a good way to start my day. I don't binge on fried food, chicken skins make me sick and I adore my veggies. My weakness is sweets and carbs, which should be a no-no for my body type. While my boyfriend can have all that and burn it off by just sitting, I have to work extra hard to get rid of it. I am also in no way unhealthy, I check my blood pressure and sugar levels and cholesterol often and they are always in a normal range. I attribute that to oatmeal every morning for breakfast. My weight gain took many years, not overnight indulgence. I know being fat predisposes me to possible health risks but in my opinion, in today's world of processed foods and quick meals I don't think I am at any greater risk than the average person. In fact my fit boyfriend is the one that has to be monitoring his blood pressure, because he was warned he may end up on medication. I have friends who climb stairs and are out of breath, and i climb the same stairs with ease. I am on my journey to lose weight, but my decision to do so is not to it in any type of clothes or any category. I work hard to make my money to get really glamorous clothing from plus size boutiques, gorgeous clothes that many of my slim friends envy me for..I had one friend will to stuff one of my bras so she could take it :). Like I said I am on a weight loss journey, I know I did not gain weight overnight and so I don't intend to lose weight overnight. I am learning to deal with stress and learning the effects of stress on cortisol levels and how it can cause weight gain. I am learning what foods are good for my body type and whats not. I am learning to change my eating pattern and eat less food in the evenings and more in the day time and I am adding more strength training into my daily activities. These are the changes I am making. I have always enjoyed salads for lunch, now I am learning new ways to make them so I don't need dressing. This is for my FAT GIRLS. not curvy, not slim, not fit. NO ONE FITS IN ANY ONE CATEGORY, DO NOT LET ANYONE PLACE YOU IN A CATEGORY THAT DOES NOT FULLY DEFINE YOU, IF YOU ARE FAT IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN YOU ARE LAZY, OR STINK, OR OVEREAT...I tell you some skinny girls can eat some even hide and do it. IF YOU ARE FAT AND FEEL UNHEALTHY START TAKING THE NECESSARY STEPS TO CHANGE THAT, AND DO NO PRESSURE YOURSELF TO DO IT OVERNIGHT TAKE YOUR TIME, IT IS CALLED A WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY FOR A REASON...AND DON'T DO IT FOR ANYONE ELSE BUT YOURSELF....PS. I HAVE LOST 30LBS IN THE PASS 6 MONTHS AND COUNTING. I AM NEVER MISERABLE OR UNHAPPY, SORE BUT NOT UNHAPPY.
