[QUOTE="vanillapie, post: 1782886, member: 472392"] I think one of the issues that comes with fat shaming - at least in my case - is the mental health repercussions that come with it. I've been bullied my whole life for being fat, and that's given me a lot of mental health issues. Just the thought of going to a gym or going swimming gives me an anxiety attack because I feel that I am more than likely going to be called names when I do go. So I don't go, and I stay fat. And it goes on and on. It's a vicious circle and one that's hard to break. (Although I am trying hard to lose weight with diet now, but this is my past experience!) [/QUOTE]
