@EricBlair I feel like being overweight has caused my body to become politicized. People don't want their taxes to go to healthcare for people who "don't take care of themselves." Speaking of healthcare, I don't think that I am taken seriously because every health problem is somehow related to my weight. On top of that, everything is somehow "psychosomatic" because all of my tests came back negative and I have mental health issues so all problems of mine are created either subconsciously or from being big.
When I take walks in public sometimes I get called names. In school, I can barely fit into the desks because they were made for thin people. I have a hard time walking sometimes and people stare at my limp or criticize me for taking an elevator.
The message that I get from society is that I should hate my body or I will never be motivated to change. Unfortunately one can't hate themselves into a version they love.
