One of the biggest reasons I hate being fat is because for me it feels like a handicap. I cannot hike, bike, jog, at the pace of others. I feel limited when I go shopping, especially in this city [if you're not a size 14 and under good luck!] I feel limited in so many capacities. I also feel older than my years. As for the stigma of being overweight, my MIL who passed away 5 years ago now, used to be obsessed with weight. She was always tall and thin and I suspect felt somewhat superior to other's who weren't. She lived far from us so we didn't see her too often, but I would have huge self-esteem issues to deal with after each weekend visit. It was so huge in her mind that when she spoke of someone that we hadn't met yet, her description always started with their body type and weight, then she would get to the point. She also loved to dig by talking about how fat she was and how she had a 'roll' here or there....hint, hint...
[she was almost 6' tall and weighed 115 pounds!! Rolls my a**!
I miss her dearly because of the great person she was. I don't miss that part though.
