I know, right? I don't understand the hate in their eyes every time they look at me; I don't look at people that way (I honestly don't--this was the first time I have ever made such a comment audibly, and generally I smile at people if our eyes meet). I mean, yes, I'm pretty small, but goodness, that's no reason to be so aggressively mean-looking. Maybe they're just hateful people, and they eat to fill the rage-void? I dunno. Maybe it matters why they're fat. I confess we have a beloved friend--godfather to our children--who is a very large man, but he comes from a culture where mothers stuff their sons because a "proper man" is fat and a "proper man" has a huge appetite. He's lost a lot of weight in the years we've known him but he's still fat, and he has never to my knowledge looked at anyone like that (unless they were talking in a movie theatre, lol, but I once threw popcorn at some shithead who wouldn't shut the fuck up during the end of Return of the King so I can't complain about that). So maybe their reasons for overeating matter when it comes to how much hate and meanness is in them? Or maybe it's just women, because come to think of it, I've only rarely had fat men glare at me but the women just hate me on sight. Maybe it's a badge of honor for us to be hated on sight by fat women. :-)
