My memoir describes my struggles with being overweight. I describe my encounters through these situations with my words of sarcasm all the while staying true to myself. How can we as a society focus on the person behind the weight? With the problems that surround us on a daily basis, how can we develop new ways of thinking and speaking, so that our future generations are not offended and labeled because of their size? I am happily married, a dedicated teacher and I am FAT. I provide suggestions on why we as a society should stop obsessing about weight. Everyone has problems some choose to hold them in, shrug them off, act out aggressively, talk to friends/family members and many may even seek professional help. I choose to share mine with the world. My problem is not as serious as other issues facing our world, even though it is constantly being discussed in homes, on recess yards, in lunchrooms, at social gatherings, and in the media. Seems rather serious right, why does my problem of being overweight have to be society's problem? Why can't we all just stop obsessing about weight?
