Hi,

Just HAD to share.. Since NONE of my friends would ever understand how NOT cool this is. I guess I just don't think it's funny. Fat is literally the LAST thing you can make fun of!! Here's a pic my friend posted on Facebook that everyone thinks is hilarious... Just had to rant...

That is disgusting. First off it is a child and that should have been the first clue it isn't funny. With all the light being shed on bullying and how horrible it is for children to endure, it is amazing that anyone finds this funny. I certainly do not.

I was made fun of when I was young... being a fatish child... it hurt so much!! I suppose I still carry a little of it around with me today, which is why I can't and won't tolerate stupid jokes like this...

I don`t think its because he`s fat but because he is scared of the ball?

You should just leave the comment "Why do you think that's funny?" and make him/her think about it.

I think Stacy's comment says it all -- make the person explain why he/she thinks it's ok to belittle, humiliate, bully someone else. It's not funny in the least.

It's especially horrible to post just after the past couple of weeks when young kids are killing themselves over being bullied.

That is just rude and insensitive and ugly.

Little Steve they call him "fatty" on the caption.

It is really sad how people think it is okay to make fun of people who are struggling with weight issues, especially children. I agree, I would have posted a comment asking exactly where the humor is in this picture.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
