I've been overweight my entire adult life, and every day im reminded of it. The struggle i go through not finding a size when shopping, the flack i get from relatives at family events, the "special" front passenger seat that's always reserved for me because i am too fat to sit with others at the back... I came to realise that my weight bothers others more than it bothers me. To find out if more people shared the same problem, i took to asking a few ladies what annoys overweight people about their weight:
Weli Matshivha (@Weli_M): Not being able to find clothes i actually like, sweating, and having to be overly confident to cover up the fact that i'm fat.
Bonolo Molewa (@bon_2bon: I was my biggest in high school. i couldn't wear the normal 13-14 size clothes, i had to wear "adult" clothes.
Palesa Mathibeli (@mrs_Langa): I can't wear what i want, when i want. I would see an outfit on a mannequin but it won't look as good on me. Another thing that annoys me the most is when people tell me what and how i should eat.
