I too can relate to this totally......while most people I know do not think of me as being particularly overweight, most of them are really surprised when I tell them how much I weigh.

About a year ago I went to the docs after my car crash, complaining of whiplash pain and broke down in tears when the doctor was particularly unsympathetic. He diagnosed depression (which was pretty accurate) and then placed a patronising hand on my knee and said 'perhaps your weight has something to do with it'. Just what a depressed person wants to hear.

A friend of mine with whom I had a brief fling, also comments on a regular basis, that I could be a lap dancer in a 'specialist' club (in other words, I'm only sexy to those sections of the population who have a 'fat fetish' - odd considering he's seen my pic threads here, and knows how much they are enjoyed by my fellow Pixies.)



Woah - I think my rant was longer than Sharni's! Thanks for starting this thread Sharni, so that we can all have a whinge about intolerant (intolerable?) people. x
