Saw this post on Linda Ikeji's blog and thought to share ithere. Enjoy..."The Fat girl ends up miserable year after year. The societyhas neglected the fuller women. This has resulted to fatgirls feeling depressed, left-out and downcast. The averagebig lady spends most of their years in solitude, angry atthemselves, the society and even their shadow. Many arebeing laugh at, ridiculed, jilted, abused and sent back indoorswhere they are depressed and even get fatter. The society issuch a big nightmare for this group of people which issaddening."When they go for shopping which is a very beautiful and funexperience for almost every lady. But for the fat girl, it’s arather sober experience. In many cases, sizes are deceptiveto the extent that a size 12 dress will be tagged size 18.She has to through every cloth in the store before she findswhat fits her. Sometimes, she ends up not seeing anyflattering outfit. Again, the sadness begins.Then she turns to her tailor to make a good dress for her.A beautifully styled dress she saw in a magazine page. Thetailor makes it, it’s still not flattering. Sarcastically, thetailor says, “I find it difficult sewing for fat girls, it is toohard”. Again, the sadness begins.Her soon-to-be-married best friend calls, “Wendy, will yoube one of my bridesmaids”? “Don’t answer of course youwill”. She is excited.“Will call you up later so we go choosethe dresses with the other girls”. Her heart drops.Shopping bridesmaids with the other girls, she knows will bea huge nightmare because she is the “fat girl”. Whileshopping, The saleslady says, "We don't have your size, sohere's the biggest we do have," and she gives it a try. Ofcourse, it never fits. Her underarm fat is spilling over, herback fat is folding over the waist, and she can't get the thingto slip over her butt. But it looks beautiful on everyoneelse! And she is left feeling guilty for being more than ahandful. Again, the sadness begins.At NYSC orientation camp. The fat girl is handed herdress bag. She opens it. The kaki trouser is as small as asize 6’s whereas she is a size 18. “Ma’am, dis kaki is toosmall for me, can I get a larger size”, she says to theplatoon mistress. The lady murmurs, “Exchange withsomeone else”. (lol, we’ve all experienced this). And shelooks around, no one has her size. Most of other corpers,she may ask will reply saying, “NOO!!! I no carry orobosize”. Everyone laughs at her. Again, the sadness begins.Every fat lady go through post-traumatic dress disorder. Itis the condition that occurs when a person, usually female,feels disappointed and traumatized while leaving a clothingstore. It could happen when she views old photographs andasks herself "What the hell was I wearing " It could also bethe traumatic stress she feels between the moment she posta picture on the Internet and the moment somebody likes itor responds. Fat people go through this stress all the timeand the society is not being fair at all. 80% of Heart-related illnesses which fat people suffer are because theyspend most of their years depressed, not just about theirsize but because of social prejudicial.
