that goes with being fat.

[cecily marcs]

not exactly true

[oscar barnes]

for a good 75% of the population, it does.

[cecily marcs]

Just because one is fat doesn't mean they're not confident...

[oscar barnes]

but a lot of them are, that's why most of them go on diets and fight to lose weight, etc. there are those that are confident, but there's a thing in society that shames fat people and doesn't allow them to be confidence so you're still looking at probably 3/4 of the overweight population having 0 confidence.

[cecily marcs]

I guess I didn't see it that way.

[oscar barnes]

you wouldn't because you're not fat. i've worked with a lot of overweight people. some who have spent years and thousands of dollars trying to lose weight. i've watched people cry over their weight. i've watched people succumb to horrible habits just to try to lose a few pounds.

[cecily marcs]

That makes me feel guilty about freaking out over being supposedly "fat." Even having body issues makes me feel guilty now that you've pointed that out.

[oscar barnes]

that's why i get pissed at people who are healthy or close enough to healthy that they have no reason to be freaking out. there are people who are genuinely struggling.

[cecily marcs]

I can't believe I actually complained. I'm already thin...

[oscar barnes]

damn if i had known all i had to tell you was stories about real overweight people to get you healthy, i would've done that a lot time ago.

[cecily marcs]

I just feel really bad.

[oscar barnes]

it happens.

[cecily marcs]

It's really fucking selfish of me, to be quite honest.

[oscar barnes]

i told you so.
