5. A person like MacFarlene has no idea what an obese person goes through, it is easy to make obese
people the joke. Unless you are that person they have no idea what it feels like. This group seems to be the target of everyone and it is exceptable. I can't tell you how many pounds I have lost and gained in my life. I hit the age of 50 and medical problems started happening to me. I was about 180 pds. I thought that was good for me because I was active but I ended up getting a bone disease and many other problems. I have picked up more weight because I can't stand or sit to long. But I don't want to use those electric chairs. I already get stares. But you know I finally realized that am part of this world and I have nothing to be ashamed of and I don't let anyone stare to long without saying whats the matter? They usually are embrassed they were staring. Sometimes I tell them to take a picture it last longer. It hurts but I hold my head up. I have just as much of a right to be here then anyone else.
