Sometimes you think that you are just over it. I mean you make it to 27 years as a Fat kid/women only to have pesky people all over you. But how do you deal?
When I was a little fat girl, back in elementary school I had a special bully. She is now a Disney/Pop Star and once dated a Reality "Star." She never (to my face) bullied me about being larger but definitely tried to take me down because I was a goody two shoes and was generally confident - I mean I always held my head up high and shoulders back. I was a good, happy kid and I wasn't her friend, well she used to imitate the way I walked and how "good" I was and well I just ignored it and now I kinda resent the fact that I never said anything.
In high school and College I used to be the type who got in your face and shouted and "Stood Up for What I Believed In." Now I usually just ignore the hate because I just don't have the energy to deal with it all but when is enough, enough? Especially when your character is on the line. Talk all you want about my thighs and my rolls but don't try to put me down as a person, same goes for being two faced. Can't stand the Mean Girl Attitude and I refuse to tolerate it. So you get ignored and pushed out my life.
So to my "many" readers (ha!) how do you deal?
