Guest guest Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I don't know if I am more sensitive or not because I haven't done this long, but I know having the issues with food in general, I am always sensitive to comments about food and eating and when people make fun of overweight people I get furious. I know which show you mean. I was very upset by that too. It could be that you feel those things, instead of eating, or what I think sometimes happens to me, is that I take it so much to heart that I also feel like it's me they are making fun of. I know I probably sound selfish saying this, but it's just that I was made fun of for being fat and foreign in my early adolescence, and I am very sensitive to those kinds of comments, and when others are made fun of for being fat, it triggers something in me. Maybe you are getting a trigger as well, and insteda of going into eating autopilot, you are feeling angry? > > I was wondering if anyone else has had different emotions come out when first trying IE.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I have noticed the same thing. I get very sensitive about the things I see, the things people say and do toward overweight people. I was always sensitive about them it just seems I am more so now. Usually when they have overweight people on those shows it is just to poke fun at them. It sells tv, unfortunately. I think you are making progress. I know when I see a diet show like the Biggest Loser or Celebrity Fit Club I get inspired to "diet" so to speak. But when I see someone who is very very over weight and struggling I get discouraged as well and turn to eating. I think you are on your way to stopping the emtional eating.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Another thing that bothers me is that the fat person on a show is always the goofy sidekick. I too get very upset when people make fun of fat people. I feel like they are making fun of me even though it's not directed at me. I remember several years ago after I had lost 60 pounds on Weight Watchers I was out for a walk and some body driving by in a car mooed at me. I was devasted. I had worked so hard and thought I was looking good but it still wasn't good enough. I know they were just immature teenagers trying to make their friends laugh but it really hurt. I went home and binged. Michele Hagenlock wrote: I have noticed the same thing. I get very sensitive about the things I see, the things people say and do toward overweight people.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I have always been sensitive to comments and things but never this bad. I just got so angry I shocked myself. I usually keep it all bottled up and do not let my emotions show so much. I don't know if its all that good of a thing my poor husband didn't know what to do or say he just stared at me. I have to tell you if felt good to get it out. I hope I can keep it going.Bonniemarina23u wrote: I don't know if I am more sensitive or not because I haven't done this long, but I know having the issues with food in general, I am always sensitive to comments about food and eating and when people make fun of overweight people I get furious.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Hi, folks: I’ve been following the posts on how the media vilifies fat people. In the recent past, there were posts about nephews and nieces making comments about the IE member’s weight and the source was their parent’s comments. I, too, have been hurt to the core by these comments and portrayals. Recently, however, I’ve come to realize that there’s nothing inherently evil about being fat. (Some people would argue it’s immoral because Gluttony is one of the seven sins. Whatever.) I’ve decided that I’m not going to be offended at being called fat, anymore, because I AM fat. I’m not going to be any more offended at being called fat than I am being called a woman or blonde. You know what? I’m not ditzy. I’m not the sidekick. In fact, I regularly get sexed up!! Fat myths all exploded!! I’m just going to continue being the open, giving person I am. Maybe by being our authentic selves, people who have fat fear (their fear of becoming fat is where the jeers come from) will see that we’re valuable people, too.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I had this same thing happen to me. I hadn't lost 60 pounds but I had been trying to lose weight had taken off some. This is when I started walking at night....middle of the darkness so no one could see me. It was hard to understand. I felt I was making an effort to get myself to feeling better and I still was made to feel like crap. I guess anything a person does to make themselves better will not be good enough for those people out there who are quick to condemn.

I seem to be really sensitive to people joking or laughing about overweight people. Not that I wasn't sensitive to it before but now to the extreme it seems. Me and my husband were watching a dancing show on tv the other night and there was an overweight person on the show trying out. The judges were just horrible to her because she was overweight. I got so angry I left the room and was really angry at my husband for watching that. I know it was not his fault but I have never felt that angry about it before. I was also watching another show and they had these clips in between the movie and the commercials and they really bashed overweight people. Again I go so angry I won't watch either channels right now. It just seems that my emotions are really messed up and to the extreme. I am wondering if this is because I am an emotional eater and IE is not letting me eat instead of feeling these things? Bonnie It's here! Your new message!Get new email alerts with the free Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Way to go, Suzanne! Your post had me roaring with laughter and shouting in here (hubby thinks I'm nuts!). But, my hat off to ya! Emma Re: IE and emotions Hi, folks: I¢ve been following the posts on how the media vilifies fat people. In the recent past, there were posts about nephews and nieces making comments about the IE member¢s weight and the source was their parent¢s comments. I, too, have been hurt to the core by these comments and portrayals. Recently, however, I¢ve come to realize that there¢s nothing inherently evil about being fat. (Some people would argue it¢s immoral because Gluttony is one of the seven sins. Whatever.) I¢ve decided that I¢m not going to be offended at being called fat, anymore, because I AM fat. I¢m not going to be any more offended at being called fat than I am being called a woman or blonde. You know what? I¢m not ditzy. I¢m not the sidekick. In fact, I regularly get sexed up!! Fat myths all exploded!! I¢m just going to continue being the open, giving person I am. Maybe by being our authentic selves, people who have fat fear (their fear of becoming fat is where the jeers come from) will see that we¢re valuable people, too. Suzanne Re: IE and emotions Posted by: "Kipkabob" kipkabobyahoo (DOT) ca kipkabob Fri Jun 15, 2007 4:31 am (PST) Another thing that bothers me is that the fat person on a show is always the goofy sidekick. I too get very upset when people make fun of fat people. I feel like they are making fun of me even though it's not directed at me. I remember several years ago after I had lost 60 pounds on Weight Watchers I was out for a walk and some body driving by in a car mooed at me. I was devasted. I had worked so hard and thought I was looking good but it still wasn't good enough. I know they were just immature teenagers trying to make their friends laugh but it really hurt. I went home and binged. Michele Hagenlock <sheljoyahoo (DOT) com> wrote:I have noticed the same thing.
