I went to my local grocery store and this isn’t the first time this happened there especially by Spanish speaking people. I don’t mean to come off offensive but they are always very judgmental of me I have stories for days. This time it was two grown men who work there as I was on the line getting my items checked out by a cashier one of the workers starts laughing with the man and I hear them say loud and clear “bien esta gordo” said the word fat in Spanish REPEATEDLY and looking and laughing at me. And another female working started laughing and chiming in saying I need some fruit some fruit because they were judging my grocery items which was not unhealthy at all mostly frozen foods and random items like coffee, cheese, rice paper, asparagus I already have fruit and veggies at home not everyone buys things at once.
Now correct me if I’m wrong but I’m not an idiot I’ve taken Spanish for years in highschool and college but they definitely insulted me and called me fat. My blood was boiling. I confronted the man and told him I understood and he looked flustered and said we were not talking about you and I said fuck off and he told me to have a good night. I feel so ashamed and disgusting. I’m home and can’t stop bawling my eyes out. I am fat it’s true but I don’t know why I can’t stop crying. I try to not let things bother me and I know it’s just a word but people judge you when they have no idea what’s going on. Little do they know that I am going to the gym and I struggle everyday with a binge eating disorder. I ate once today and now I’m starving myself and not eating dinner because that’s how much their comments affected me.
I’m trying but all I’ll ever be to people is fat. I’m more than just my appearance and it’s killing me. This is why I don’t ever want to go anywhere. Please tell me I’m not the only one? My mom says it’s because I’m insecure and maybe attract these kinds of people to speak on me? But there’s other people who are bigger than me so I don’t understand why people act like they never seen fat people before that they go as far as to insult us to our face. Does this happen to you guys In public? I’m not being dramatic but I can write a book on the times I was fat shamed in public situations. I struggle so much with my inner self daily and when things like this happen it just rips me to shreds I feel less of a human being. Honestly keyfood you need to hire better employees. I have no one to share this with because everytime I confide in my mom she never believes me. It’s like getting fat shamed is not a real thing in the eyes of non fat people. People always think I’m crazy or invalidate my experience.
