Weight Loss Hate Loss

Diary of a former fatty


There are no shortage of people who’ll tell you our privacy and anonymity are of paramount importance.

Nations have been founded on the basic right of confidentiality, and even in an era when these privileges are slowly eroding, they are still a fundamental part of our everyday existance within the Western world…

…unless, of course, you’re a fatty…

With a hefty mass, you’re unlikely to remain invisible for long, that much at least, can be taken for granted. But what is demonstrated time and again is the cruel ability for people to point and laugh.

However, this is no mere titter from the sidelines (although, there will be more on this later, I can guarantee it) – it’s an all out assault, the likes of which you haven’t heard since the witch trials at Salem. Chanting, shouting and an unnatural urge to point and physically prod - the rotund members of society know all too well they’re ‘fair game’ for the drunk and socially ham-fisted; being overweight, you lose the right to remain lost in the crowd.

So, ‘Weight Loss Hate Loss’ change number one is simple:

#001 - You're no longer freely abused in public.
