[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all of my adult life, outside of pregnancy/postartum, I have been a size 4/6.  Always treated well in public settings, men flirted with me etc.  I just thought this was normal.

After a late pregnancy loss I got pregnant again, so I was pregnant for nearly a year and a half (not kidding).  It was a difficult pregnancy and I developed gestational diabetes and became insulin resistant.  After having my baby I could not lose weight no matter what I tried and hovered around a size 12/14.

Recently I’ve gone down several sizes and am now about an 8.  The difference in how I was treated when I was bigger and how I’m treated now is night and day.  I was almost ignored, or treated as stupid/ignorant (?), and just generally not treated as well as when I was thin.  Now that I’m becoming thinner again, men are flirty/check me out and people are nicer to me.

It is such a mindf*** and really disappointing.  Why are people like this?[/quote]

It is a class thing. Rich people have more resource to stay fit. And people bow to the rich.

In old times, fat people were respected because they had more than enough to eat.[/quote]
