The Fight to Be Fat

When I came home for the summer all I heard was, "WOW you got fat." If you were one of the people pointing out my weight don't feel bad, because you weren't the only one. Not only did people at home point it out, but when I saw people in Turkey the first thing they said was, "WOW you put on weight."

I am confused about two things, why are people so concerned about my weight. It seems like a major issue with some people and I honestly don't know why. I probably gained ten pounds in Turkey and another 10 pounds over the summer. So it is not like I gained weight to the point of it being shocking, so why do people seem overly concerned about my weight. Besides, isn't that the natural order of life, you get old and fat, so why can't I enjoy that part of my life? The other thing I am confused about why saying, "WOW you got fat" is not considered rude. That is a comment a little kid makes that doesn't know better. What would happen if I saw a girl and said, "WOW you got fat" I would be hunted down and punished by society and I would end up being on some day time talk show where the crowd would boo me when I came out to defend why I think it is okay to call people fat.

I guess the point is, if I am fat, I like being that way, so thanks for the concern about my weight, but I don't need to hear comments of how fat I am. I am planning on working out a little and eating better, but for the health benefits not the weight loss, but if that translates into weight loss I hope it will help all my concerned fans rest better at night.

It is nice to be back at home and working and into a routine.
