You can't win

Today, after losing my job and being quarantined alone, I realized I've gained quite a bit of weight due to depression. I decided to do something about it and walk around my neighborhood. A group of teens followed me laughing and hurling insults until I cried. FML

Today, I walked past a group of men on my way to work. Instead of catcalling me, they made pig and whale noises at me, and yelled fat shaming comments. By the time I'd reached my building, I had been reduced to tears. FML

Today, I was at the gym. I'm 360 lbs and have finally decided it's time to change that. Some girl and her two bitch friends thought it'd be fun to follow me and belittle me at everything I did. When I mentioned it to the staff, they said that they were just "encouraging" me. FML

Today, I decided to get back into shape. I went for a jog around my neighborhood. The ice cream truck followed me for my whole jog, mocking me. FML

Today, I found myself crying in the bathroom because I started to feel lonely and depressed. My mother came into the bathroom, hearing me cry and gave me an hour long speech about what a beautiful human being I am... And to not forget to lose weight. FML

Today, I had to walk three miles home from work. Both my parents were at home. The reason they wouldn't collect me is apparently because I've "gotten so fat, your grandma cried after she saw you". FML

Today, I was walking home from the gym. I was thinking about how proud of myself I was for losing 34 pounds when someone yelled from a car window, "Look at that fat lump!" FML

Today, I walked around town by myself for four hours because I was too ashamed to tell my parents that I have no friends willing to spend time with me. FML

Today, I got fired from my job at a weight-loss center because I was too skinny, and apparently it's too depressing for the customers to handle. FML

Today, I was so lonely that I had a conversation with myself on my way home. It was only when I reached my apartment complex that I discovered that my neighbour had been walking behind me, laughing to himself the whole way. FML

Life's a beach

Today, I finally beat depression by going for a walk on the beach. I couldn't contain myself and happily played in waist-deep water as I walked. I realized my keys for my car, mail, house, and work had fallen out of my pockets and into the ocean, never to be seen again. FML

I'm so sorry you had to go though that. I couldn't imagine what that must feel like. I would take this chance to use that as fuel to improve my life and lose that weight so you can shove it in their faces. don't get discouraged and stay on track and you'll eventually feel better. there are numerous sites and call lines to help with depression, weight loss, and unemployment. hang in there and we're here for you if you need us.

I'm sorry for you! But: don't let that get you down! You can and are obviously willing to change and do something to get better but the others are and always will be assholes!

That's awful and I'm surprised by how often I see that kind of testimony. I mean, being overweight or even obese isn't an oddity nowadays - sadly a lot of people are concerned. It's especially true in the US where the obesity rate is over 42% and more than half of the population is overweight, but a lot of other countries are well on their way toward this. So it's weird to see something which is statistically pretty average (and will probably represent the majority in some countries in a decade or so if the issue isn't tackled on more forcefully in the years to come) attracting that much attention and hostility.
