Mokokoma MokhonoanaMany obese people spend a significant amount of their energy on suppressing the urge to tell some of the people who are staring at them that they do not eat as much and as frequently as they seem to.
About This Quote
The urge to shout out that you don’t actually eat as much as you would like people to think that you do is very real. When you are overweight, you spend many of your waking hours trying to appear as if you eat more than you actually do. This is because the only thing that matters is what other people think of you. If they are staring at your plate with a sad look on their face, they are likely thinking, “I wish I could be as skinny as her.” If they are speaking to you about how good it is for them to see someone gain weight, they are thinking, “It must be terrible for her to have to go through this.”
