I know there have been threads in this theme before, but I havent seen any recently so I thought Id start another. 
Sometimes its fun, sometimes its creepy, but it is almost always interesting in some way when you become aware of someones interest in you. For fat women, though, it is often difficult to gauge if that interest is actual delighted interest or circus freak factor. Most of the time, you can tell when it is repulsionpeople have a hard time masking that, even in public.
So lets share those times when we *know* weve been spotted, in a positive Dims Weight Board kind of way. Obviously, at fat positive events, were going to experience that, so Im talking more about the day-to-day life events when we arent really expecting it. Im happy to start!
The other day, I was in the pet store, buying dog food. Now mind you, I have little dogs, so I buy a 4 lb. bag of food for them every two weeks. Hardly a strain to lift that bag. The clerk rings me up, asks if I want a bag, and I say no, thats fine. So then the clerk at the other register comes over with an enormous smile and says, Would you like me to help you with that? and again, I say, No Im fine, thanks. And he, continuing to grin, says, Are you SURE? Id be happy to help you out to your car. Is there anything else you need? And I laugh and tell him I think I can manage, but thanks again and he says, Well, if you ever need any help with anything, you be sure to let me know, okay? Id be more than happy to help! and walks me to the exit with that huge smile still on his face.
Now, I fully realize that he may be a guy who just takes customer service to the limit, but sometimes you just know theres more going on. I mean, come on Im a beefy chick on top of being fat, I hardly look like carrying a 40 lb bag of anything would be a struggle, much less a 4 lb bag of tiny bites dog food.
