Unintentional truthtelling hurts fat feelings So I'm at the hospital with my relative. A kind, gentle person who rarely complains and is very sweet to almost everyone.  Well the pain meds completely took away her filter. She looked around and saw the fat patients and fat families and said in a loud voice "Bigtop, don't ever get heavy. Look at these people and how they are struggling. They did a number on their bodies by not taking care of their health." I looked around and realized she was overheard by the entire room.   Glares were directed our way.  I said "It's scary but I will be careful to watch my calorie intake."  With that I wheeled my relative back to her room.
