My little boy has recently been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I was totally heartbroken when we found out! Since then when people have offered him sweets/at partys/in shops, when I have to tell people he can't have things and why, This is usually followed by chubbie thirty to fifty year olds moaning to me that they or a relative have type 2 diabetes and how hard it is for them!

Type 2 is self inflicted.... btw..
I am soo angry that this has happened to my son.... He is only 4 (through no fault of his own Or anyone else) I just want to shout at them to shut up,stop eating so much shit and move around a bit more!!

This may not make sense, but AIBU?

Ruby, as I said, I hadn't seen your post on there when I posted but making wide sweeping generalisations is ignorant.

Litchick · 25/08/2010 19:56

Actually that's not true...I don't mind Joseph or AgnesB. And I have vests from Boden.

YABU to say that "Type 2 is self inflicted.... "
There are some cases where people gain weight through no fault of their own..disability, underactive thyroid, severe mental health problems, depression, etc etc. A relative of mine has type 2 diabetes and was overweight but she didn't just scoff herself for fun, she was on tablets which made her gain weight.

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 25/08/2010 19:56

I posted this earlier - I note that kitty still hasn't come up with an answer for any of what I said.

.....maybe, like me, they are struggling with depression, and just can't do everything at once.

Tbh, I think it is more important that I work on pulling myself out of the depression (than that I lose weight), so that I don't slip back to a point where I am seriously considering suicide almost every day, can see no point in living, and think my family would be better off without me.

Kitty - has it ever occurred to you that you might be missing out on knowing some great people, because of your 'fat people are disgusting' attitude? I know lots of people who are fun, wise, supportive, intelligent, friendly, generous and caring - and here's the big surprise - many of them are overweight.

Being overweight doesn't make me a bad person - I can (and intend to) change my weight - it's a lot harder to change from being unpleasantly judgemental. I may be slim one day - will you always be nasty, kittywise?

SoupDragon · 25/08/2010 19:58

Weeps with laughter @ "that is because you know her fanjo"

RubyBuckleberry · 25/08/2010 19:58

you would do it secretly. that is the same. it is just shrouded underneath false 'friendship'. in fact, wouldn't it be better to be honest? it would be more generous to offer to help if they wanted it - if they were unhappy with the situation, than to hide away true feelings for fear of being judged as shallow?

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 25/08/2010 19:59

oh I didn't see that one..no, i do not know her fanjo! Blush

ccpccp · 25/08/2010 19:59

I see a few familiar names are on here dishing out their usual brand of bullying.

Now thats something MN do delete.

Not sure what Kitty has done but shes clearly on the 'wrong' side. Cant be arsed to read back through all of the prattle and mis quoting though.

Whats the buzzword this time? Fattist? fatfuckphobic?

RubyBuckleberry · 25/08/2010 20:00

weep away soupdragon.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 25/08/2010 20:00

Ruby - I don't judge my friend, even secretly, if that is what you are getting at.

RubyBuckleberry · 25/08/2010 20:00

omg i am sooooo slow!

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 25/08/2010 20:01

I'm sorry but Kitty has mnade a grave error.
She has insinuated that I wear high street clothing. I mean c'mon.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 25/08/2010 20:02

no, she doesn't know my fanjo either! well I don't think so,... Grin

RubyBuckleberry · 25/08/2010 20:03

lie i have said before, it is not shallow to pity someone who has to carry all that round etc etc etc and probably feels rubbish etc etc etc going round in circles now

Litchick · 25/08/2010 20:03

I demand that any threads alluding to the words Litchick and Top Shop be deleted.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 25/08/2010 20:04

anyway am off for a glass of wine and some food ..

Think ccpccp should at least read threads before coming on and pontificating about bullying.

Litchick · 25/08/2010 20:05

oooh wahts's for tea Fanjo?

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 25/08/2010 20:06
