I'm not sorry. I have a sense of humor and the people I love know that. There are, of course...
...people I don't love who make "fun" of my weight, but I couldn't care less, since they don't matter to me.
I live by Eleanor Roosevelt's advice, which is: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
It depends on one's outlook. I am aware of the consequences of my weight, and I am psychologically strong enough to turn intended negative comments into positives, the positive being a reminder that being fat, which I am, is not good for me.
If someone attempts to insult me because of my weight, and I'm not insulted at all, they, and not me, lose power.
As far as this relates to Trump and the opening post, he is a very vain person engaged in mockery. If it shows him up for his lack of psychological health, I have no problem with that.
A physical description of him, and a physical description of me would not be entirely different. But I'm not claiming to be some kind of paradigm of health and he is.
He's fragile and I'm not.
OK?
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
