Journal on " O.K., So I'm Fat"

Neil Steinberg considers himself not that fat, but that the weight he has is because he eats a lot, not because any glandular disorder. He describes the way he is treated by others like " hey big guy" and says to him this is implying that he needs to loose some weight. For instance , when he went to a friend house and was ask if he wanted something , without him answering he was suggested a diet coke, (" A diet Coke, maybe?"). That he had been told of heroic stories of people that had lost weight, and how this sound inspiring. He admitts that he had less trouble with people that are thin but that don't go on diets and doesn't have to worry for what they eat. He mentiones his wife's friend and how he eats a lot of candy and is supper skinny. Finally , he says that maybe is a thing of fate, and that maybe if he didn't think about his weight he wouldn't be fat. I like this article because I never ecceded the hundred and ten pounds, and I'm one of those persons that eat whatever and don't gain weight, I though it was good to know how others feel of how they are treated to avoid discrimination.
