As you may have noticed on my FB page in my pictures, I have been an overweight person all my wonderful and appreciated years of living. I have had to fight, cuss and fuss to be accepted and treated fairly all my life. The cause and the reason why I am a handsome extra large man is not more important than the fact that I am a person. Whether my weight is from several medical issues are just pure overeating is not as important as I am. I have never let this "gift" defeat me but it has made me stronger than most as I fight daily just to be recognized as a man. During my most important time of healing while still in the hospital after my procedure last month is where I experienced the most discrimination. I may have appeared to be extra large at will and seemed needy but little did they know I didn't want to be helped as much as they didn't want to help me. I was made to feel like "he has gotten himself so big and now I'm suppose to help him, move him, make him feel better?" It didn't feel good at all and if my mom and wife were not there almost 24/7, I may not even be here to discuss this with you, YES IT WAS THAT BAD! So I do understand your mission and article more than you know. My sweetest victory so far from this experience was my day of discharge when a new hospital physical trainer came to evaluate me. I sat on the couch in the room and I'm sure I looked asleep but as I opened my eyes slightly and she walked in the room, she stopped and just looked at me with the face of, "oh my how can I possibly help this man? what if he falls? how could I catch him? what if he hurts me?...so on and so on". Before she could say one word, I got up and told her, "I won't be needing your help today, I'm able to leave the bed, use the restroom and walk down the hall..on my own." Shortly after, I was discharged, and as I was advised to sit and wait to be rolled out, I instead walked out the hospital on my own because just as I thought a wheelchair was brought to the room that I would not fit in and I refused t wait as my size should not have been a surprise.
