      I don't care much if there are posters of fat women or not. I am fat but making progress on not being. I don't want to 'identify' with fatness & I think people who do are extremely misguided.

      I once fat-shamed someone when I was slim. :( She yelled at me. I said 'excuse me' when I couldn't overtake her on the pavement. Her: You don't need to walk so fucking fast?! Me: We can both walk at our preferred speeds if you'd just waddle to one side. That was not kind of me.

          I walk with a stick and try not to get in folks way, it's frustrating for others to be stuck behind me. The woman was extremely rude so I think it was ok to be rude back.

          People who walk slowly on the pavement, stopping others from overtaking; death is too kind for them.

          The trick is not to say "excuse me." Just say, "Oh, sorry!" With a befuddled look, like you're late (even lost), absent-minded. She'll think you never even noticed her weight.

          It was not kind of you, no, but she does not sound kind either. I love the honesty ❤️❤️

          I love the balance between truth & love you communicate here. Why is the beauty of balance so lost on so many?

          It’s good that you realize your comment was insensitive, but her “don’t walk so fast” was rude & judgemental too.

          Only a single word made your comment unkind; and it surely wasn't as spleenful a word as the one that made her comment unkind

          Not kind but funny. And you might not have said it had she not come at you with the "you don't need to WALK so fast." Maybe had she been more aware of the people around her. 🤷
