Why do we as a society hate fat people so much?

I am fat. I can’t lose weight bc of pcos. I have a really hard time losing weight no matter how hard I try unless I’m eating like 500-900 calories a day. It’s very obvious when skinny people judge me in public, but it happens EVERYWHERE. And for what? I went to a Paris Baguette and a group of boys were staring at me and laughing literally the entire time. I went to Spencer’s and I could hear a group of girls talking about me and making fun of me. If I go to a restaurant and I don’t order a water and a small grilled chicken, then people fucking judge me. Online, people will relentlessly bully chubby and fat people. It’s so bad that one time I was talking to my old therapist about when I got raped and he asked me if I was exaggerating. 

Do you guys realize that fat people are also human beings that can’t always change that? It’s not always a matter of being lazy. Not everyone can afford fat loss surgeries. Not everyone can afford peptides. God help everyone who is overweight (not obese) and has pcos because you can’t even be considered for peptides. Why is fat phobia so normalized when no one knows what anyone else is going through?

I was always bullied for being too tall so I understand what it feels like to be bullied over something you can’t change, and I feel like no one should be judged for their size or for anything everyone has different bodies and everyone is beautiful just the way they are if they’re big or small it doesn’t matter because you are just the way you are supposed to be and that is beautiful!

I also don't understand why some people hate others just for the fact of their existence. They didn't do anything to you, lol (-_-)

I don't know how you feel but my best friend is also overweight, and during the years I've been her friend she's been bullied for something she can't control. It breaks my heart how people are so selfish to judge someone else's body like that. I've had an experience like that when I was in grade 9 and 10, I was constantly being made fun of because I was flat (I'm not flat, I just have a tiny chest) but it made me really insecure and I never stood up for myself because those things came from people I knew. I can't gain weight because I have a fast metabolism so it was even worse for me. All I can say is that no matter how much you try, people will ALWAYS make fun of you, even for something you can't control. You can't change people's minds, but you can change how you take the words from people. Ignore them, even if it's coming from a friend.

Always love your body, and I hope everything goes well further on. Sorry for the long yap. (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

Aw that's sad :( I wish people could just stop judging everyone but themselves. This is disgusting. Imagine being so ugly that the only thing that makes you "pretty" is your appearance. It's tiring to see that some people's minds are just rotten to the core.
