What would make you think you would deserve to be treated like crap? No one deserves to be treated like that. I know people who act inapprobriatly and treat people badly, losing patience and yelling at them because they are frustrated or some other reason they rationalize in their own sick mind. And because people are afraid of them. this bad behavior is allowed to continue. It is still wrong. When someone interupts you on the phone, simply stop, excuse yourself for a moment from your phone call and ask the rude employee nicely to please wait a moment until you are off the phone. Sometimes you need to treat them like a child, if they act like one. Don't allow this disrespect for yourself or anyone else. You are in the positon to change things for yourself and maybe even someone else. Blessings,

When we don't feel good about ourselves, when we feel FAT, we feel like we're not in the same class with our Normal co workers, we try harder. We smile more, we don't our anger or bad feelings show. Society encourages us to feel that way. It's like we don't count as a REAL person with REAL feelings, because we look a certain way on the outside. I know I am know as The Positive One. I do get walked on alot, but that is changing. I have perserverred and won have some respect. I do feel like a second class citizen, being the largest person in the office. I am also the only one who has lost 29 lbs in the last 4 months. Hopefully, with continued wt loss I can regain my self esteem and be more confident. Stand up for myself and feel normal. It's sad but very true. Fat descrimination is very real
