Artist's Comments

Alright, so, I was recently mad faving and adding stamps to my journal, so I decided I'd make one.

I didn't have anything really interesting to say, but then got to thinking about how recently a "friend" and I had a little bit of a "tiff", and when he began to realize he was very very quickly losing the argument, he pulled the fat card on me. Or rather the "fat-ass lazy bitch" card to be exact.

And that didn't really bother me, because I don't really care what he has to say to me right now since he's really the stupidest person I've ever known, upon thinking about it, but I got to thinking about how bad that would have bothered me like, ten years ago.

I've always been fat, I'm not gonna beat around the bush. I have POS (polycystic ovarian syndrome, google that shit), and though I can't sit back and say I'm the healthiest eater, and the most exercise-conscious person, I've seen people who are stick thin eat like horses and sit around all day long. I am NOT that bad. I know some people dig their own graves when it comes to being overweight, but for some people its not something they can easily control. And yet constantly we're ridiculed like it was OUR CHOICE to be this way. First off, if we were raised with the conscience to be healthy, it would have probably stuck with us, and it has to do a lot with genetics. Yeah, some people are fat because they eat constantly and lay about all day and that's just gross, but its not always the case. So to everyone who's ever been even just chunky and been harassed and made fun of, sometimes even treated like you weren't human, this is for you.

Feel free to use on dA, if you'd like to use it elsewhere, just note me. C:

Thank you for this. :heart: I've also been overweight in my entire life, and it's a painful struggle.

You're welcome. <3

You feel so entirely alienated, and its hard to live with. :/ Its like the people who do the harassing think that its easy or something to lose the weight. If it were easy, we'd do it, its not like we enjoy suffering through all the rude things they have to say.

But people never learn. *sigh.* >:

The worst part is when the siblings are one of the people harassing you as well. They are perfect examples of people you've described, lazy bums who does nothing else than to sit and play World of Warcraft all day long, and they still in a miraculas way keeps themselves thin.

I tend to get jealous a lot about that, and it really lowers my self-esteem when they keep shooting out their fat jokes. =P But i've learned to live with it i guess. It's unfortunate that i've accepted that i should live with it and move on.

:icondestynd:
Nah, that's not unfortunate. I mean, it never hurts to try and do something about it, but at the same time, there's no reason to let what anyone else thinks get to you. <3 Constructive criticism is one thing, but negativity isn't worth listening to.

I definitely can sympathise. :<

I didn't start gaining weight until people decided I had ADD and gave me pills that made me a zombie back in third grade. :< :<

"Fuck that." I said. "My spidey sense is tingling!"
