Take Seven for the Fat Girls...

Sometimes being fat is fun... until you have to find clothes that fit.

Sometimes, being fat is not so fun and most of that comes from biting down hard on your tongue to stop the obvious retorts to some gaffes you hear from the socially disadvantaged bunch.

Take Seven completely clueless comments NOT to make to the fat girl, and what but for the grace of God (and our teeths chomping down on our tongues), your ears would be ringing with.

Take 1  You are fat!

You reckon? I can swear I was a size zero when I left home today. You mean I am fat now? For real? Chai, diaristgotuo!

Take 2  You shouldn't be eating that.

 Why? What is the problem? Is it poisonous? Am I going to die if I eat it? Or perhaps just this one thing stands between me and an extra 10 pounds? Would you rather be eating it? Because if you ask me, you should be getting some fat between your skin and bones.

Take 3  Are you planning to eat again?

 Errrrrm, no. I just want to worship this plate of food right here in front of me and let it know how its presence is contributing to world peace in these troubled times.

Take 4  You should take this tea or take up that exercise?

 Really? You should get a brain!

Take 5  That was how this friend of mine lost one million kg.

 Good on her. That was how this other friend of mine learnt to mind her own business. One day like that, she "chooked" her mouth in a matter that did not concern her and the original owner of the matter rearranged her face.

Take 6  You'd be so much prettier if you were slimmer.

 Funny you should say that, I was just about to observe that you'd be considered more intelligent if you kept your unsolicited opinions to yourself more often.

Take 7  It takes a lot of determination and will power to lose weight.

 You don't say? For real? Any available stats on how much determination and will power it takes to receive sense? Gerrarahia.

Seriously folks, if your opinion was not solicited and the fat is not about to suffocate you; If your food is not missing and you do not suspect the fat person in front of you is about to eat you up, please keep the fat shaming opinions to yourself.

You might never understand the struggle, which is real by the way. Or perhaps, you might just be an extremely clueless and tactless someborri.

In which case *in Pastor Chris Oyakhilome's voice* "Here is some sense. Take it, take it.... rrrrrrrrrrreceive it!"
