    Someone just tried to 'fatshame' me on the tube. It didn't work. I don't like being fat and am making good progress towards not being but I can't be embarrassed by people being arseholes about it.pic.twitter.com/FQjHXom3YI

        It's a very strange thing that I often feel self-conscious & tongue-tied when surrounded by strangers being nice or neutral to me but if someone starts being nasty, I suddenly become very calm & confident.

        It might just be that I'm a bit shit when it comes to social chit chat but in my comfort zone when it comes to arguments. Anyway, I've been dealing with sick relatives all day, one with flu, one having major surgery, one dying. I really have no fucks to give right now.

        Of course he cares, but he still loved me when I got ill and doubled my weight, just as I loved him when half of his face got paralysed.

        Do you have kids? My wife put on weight after childbirths, I viewed her fat as sort of sacred, as it came about in birthing our children.

        Yes, I didn't then tho. I got fat when I had a strike and was immobile and also had to take meds which made me ravenously hungry all the time.

        Hi! I'm not trying to gotcha you or anything, but how did they fatshame you? I trust data points from quality sources, and am interested in the phenomenon. Not quibbling, just interested in a critical-thinker's report.

        Apparently, I take up too much room and merit being told so and looked up and down. Not even true. I'm not so fat, I overflow a seat! Just being nasty. I gave her a big smile and said 'oh well, you'll survive.'

        Good for you. I despair at why some people have to try and make other people feel bad about themselves.

        Easy response, “I’m losing weight but you’re forever a piece of shit idiot.” ✌🏼 Sorry to hear about your family members. That sounds very stressful.

        Wait, you didn't go absolutely mental and break down in tears for a month? You sound like some kind of...adult... Really though, I'm with you on the 'uncomfortable about compliments but relaxed about abuse' thing, it's strange.
