(25,960 posts)"wow, she's really let herself go" let me clue you in on something you may not realize, something I didn't realize either until it happened. Menopause can be downright mean. I was thin most of my life, only occasionally having to put in extra work to keep things that way. Past a certain point, it's become a losing battle. The change in the way I'm treated isn't just because I'm older. I'm well aware that much of the reason I am invisible until mockworthy is because of my weight. It's unkind and it has little to do with who I am as a person. Someone above said it better than I can, but I'll mention it again: just because you're aiming "fatty" insults at someone you think is a bad person doesn't mean you aren't also hitting others as well. Just a thought.
Thank you for this post, RegularJam.
