There is  a new reality show which shows this overweight male looking for love. To be honest I watched it 1 1/2 times, and I did not like him.  I just got this real creepy feeling about him, that I could not shake. I was very surprised to hear from the over weight woman, that some had never been asked out to their prom’s or on a date ever! Some had never been kissed!!!

Most of these woman were very attractive, and I did not realize the pain and suffering they have endured in this “skinny society” we live in.  I do not believe that being fat is the only reason that they were not dating. I was thin and no one bothered me, I was heavier and no one bothered me.

Okay I was in Walmart last week, standing on line, there was a spanish man  ahead of me and I was watching him, he was drooling over a blonde haired young lady. It was not because she was skinny, it was because  her skirt was so short , right up to her waist. So, if I went to Walmart wearing a very low cut blouse, and revealing my chest, I would get more men looking, regardless if I was thinner or heavier. It is the sex appeal they are looking at, not the weight.

I watch a new show Drop Dead Diva, on the life channel, I really like that show because it is real. A young model who was 24 years old had a fatal car accident, and in the hospital her soul went into the body of a 34 year old plain overweight lawyer’s body. She now has to live in a different body. The show is very well written and makes a point at showing that women that are not perfect do matter in our society.

Society and the fashion industry is to blame for young girls not eating and being too thin. The designers did not want to use a large amount of material to make their garments, so they brainwashed people to think that only skinny people are worthy of love, affection , a job, or wearing their clothes. Years later, they had to change their ways with all the super sized meals, causing the population to grow larger in size, and they made  plus size clothes.

It is my opinion, that not enough has been done to erase the “fat” stigma from our society. A person does not have to pay someones else to teach them how and what to eat. We are smart people, we will keep our money and do it ourself. If you eat fat, you will add more fat. If you eat right and burn off what you ate you will loose weight.  I saw on a show that a hotdog, one hotdog has 70 percent fat. The supermarket’s are selling buy one package and get one free. Two packages of fat!

People do not realize, Oprah does however, that eating wrong is to satisfy a need that we lacking. It is all emotional, especially now with the economy and the stress that it has caused. Some people are loosing weight because they can not buy food, they have lost their jobs.  But I bet, if a heavy woman was driving around in her rolls royce, her appearance sure would not be a factor.

It is about time that people start to realize that we are all equal and deserve the same respect. The society of today needs to change quickly. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
