I got a '60s flashback from reading the second one.

Is it entirely possible that this entire family has a disorder/disease that caused them to be fat? Yes. But is it also just as plausible to think that the entire family is lazy. YES!

Here is how I define lazy when it comes to being fat... It is so much tastier for me to drink sweet tea than water. It is so much cheaper for me to grab a pizza for dinner than to go grocery shopping for a well balanced meal. It is so much quicker for me to get take out than to have to meal plan.

I am tired of hearing terms like "the woman's section" or "for women like you" or "plus-sized" - okay, since when did it become unacceptable to call something for what it is? I am fat - I shop at the fat people's store.

"I am what I am" says Popeye - and I don't make excuses for it.

Why would you go off and get depressed over matters that you have no control over. You can only control your own feelings and lead by example. You cannot force others to feel the same way.

I am fat and I own that situation...no one made me fat other than myself. The word itself has no other meaning than as a descriptive adjective. I will agree with you that in this case the use of the word was absolutely unnecessary and not even relevant. Any of the actions mentioned in the story had absolutely nothing to do with ones size, it was strictly personality based. Again the use of FAT was totally without meaning or merit other than to show disdain for it and associate it to irresponsible behavior. Because of that and because of that only, I also feel the offensiveness and imagined superiority of the OP in this case.

So we partially agree...the use of the word fat in this story was very, very offensive. That shouldn't send you into a spiral, it is the users way of showing anger, hatred and bigotry...but not yours, it's theirs. The word is just a word. By itself it means nothing. I believe in myself and nothing anyone can say will alter that. I know who and what I am. Fat and proudly aware that nothing has ever held me back or interfered with how well I have done in life.

Laurie,

You are just fine. My friends are about the same weight as you are. I did get over weight after I graduated from high school. After getting my present job, I gained about 150 pounds. I was put on a diet when I found out I was in my best friend's wedding. I am close to 180 lbs. I have to loose more weight.

:)

I have to disagree. I think that the fact that the kid was fat and rolling down the street just helps all of us reading the story imagine all the better what it was like. Just my opinion.
