Body Size & Shape

"What I really don't like is when overweight gives a person that sluggish look, when everything about them seems slow - movement, intellect etc. "

And this is the type of prejudice im on about, just because im fat does NOT mean im stupid, i have a 2:1 degree in history, i have run my own business and im raising a child singlehanded, life is hectic at times but im more than capable of doing it, despite being fat.
weight does not have to be a disability, and yes i do feel strongly about this, just because im fat does not mean that a skinny person is better than me, theyre not, we r all equals in Gods eyes

Did you read my post? I never said an overweight person is stupid - ever. And I would never. I said I have a problem with it when overweight people let themselves go - intellectually and physically. Of course I have the same problem when skinny people do but when its overweight people I notice more because I AM, and I hate when this strengthens the prejudices, I know exist.

I am sorry if my post offended you but it certainly wasn't meant the way you seem to have picked it up.
I am fat myself, I am smart, too.
