Just a life lesson

On Dr Phil today they took a women (some actual beauty queen) and dressed her up to appear to be 300 lbs. She looked pretty natural and of course everywhere she went she got stares. She did not like "fat" people and thought that they were "lazy and arrogant for impeding on other peoples space." It made me think of myself and how she and others might see me. I honestly don't notice people staring at me due to my wt. Is it because I am confident in myself and take the world by the horns? No, I still worry about seating when I go out to the movies or a restaurant. I am not comfortable or confident with my appearance. I wondered how others felt? Do you really feel people staring and judging you?
