    Today someone made fun of me for being fat. The average size woman wears 16 to 18. I wear 12 to 18. 12 being tight jeans that inspire me to lose weight (skinny jeans). 18 being loose and a bit saggy. So I'm not anything but average. I'm not obese, either. Maybe he watches too many dirty movies. I DO have a poochy belly even when I'm thin. Let me tell you why. I was pregnant below the age of consent with cerebral palsy. My first experience was in a graveyard. A doctor took my v with a pair of scissors. Unceremoniously. My stretch marks were so bad I bled. It tore my young body up. My body scars are a badge of honor. Even God gave me a badge of honor. I baptized on mother's day as a little girl and I gave birth on mother's day on the anniversary of my baptism. God speaks to me. The universe breathes right through me. I was supposed to be in a wheelchair but today there are no brain scans that even show my cerebral palsy so I get to be here with you fine people. Make fun of my body? Really? I am positive my body is my spiritual event.

    Anyone who chooses to be stupid does not deserve the other person's time. Just let it go and keep going the way you have been going.

    If the other party wants to escalate then we will cross that bridge when necessary. But they do not get to be continuing to be stupid.

    Your appearance is your business. What does it matter what some insensitive schmuck thinks? Usually we have more to offer the human race than our looks, as even the “best” of beauty is only temporary. I would have dismissed that insensitive jerk with a wave of my hand and pressed onward. He or she is not worth your time.

    As long as you are clean and neat in appearance you'll get a pass on the size/weight scale unless you are just a Behemoth, which your description states you are not.

    2/3 of these drivers out here have zero room to talk.
    Some of us have been a tad chunky and have been fortunate enough to lose it with proper diligence and and a strong will to maintain.
    It ain't easy in this sedentary lifestyle.

    It's a shame there weren't any men around to defend your honor.
    Chivalry is not dead yet.

    Don’t argue with stupid, and that’s exactly what that was.

    There’s a saying about wrestling with pigs. The pig will enjoy it and you’ll just end up dirty. Don’t give the prick the satisfaction.
