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.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
