[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's probably because they feel you have little in common and don't want to invest their time on new friendships. It is uncool, however, for them to be unfriendly and intentionally exclude you. The lifestyle and mentality of a lean healthy person is very different than an overweight person, in general. I see this firsthand when my overweight family members visit our ski vacation home, and it trickles down to the kids. Every detail of our day is affected from how we eat to what we do during the day. Having said that, this is not a private school issue, rather a cultural issue. I'm guessing you're a kind and smart person, in which case it'll just take a little more time for people to see what's underneath an want to have you as their friend.[/quote]

Sadly, there is a lot of truth in this. After a lifetime of being slim and active, I gained a lot of weight from an illness. It is a different world! being fat. People are judgy. At our private there are VERY few fat moms. The couple that are have very outgoing personalities. Its just a skinny, dress up school with lots of beautiful people.[/quote]
