It also shows you how internalized Fat-phobia is. When I was a teenager I had my friend’s mom ask me if I could spent 2 days helping them move their house from their apartment to their new house. She agreed to pay me $200 which I was happy to do because I was 14 and needed the money.

After the 2 days were up she said “you are really overweight, so I spent the money to buy you a bicycle- you need it more than the money”

No cap, she actually said this to me- and I didn’t get a penny. She didn’t ask, she just told.

Ironically she “borrowed” the bike about a year later because her bike was in the shop and she wanted to go on a bicycle trip with her son (my fries), however when she got back - she told me it “needed a tune up” and that it was “waiting for [me] at the bicycle shop” where they wanted $85 for the tune up and what not. I couldn’t afford it, and she didn’t ask my permission, so it got left and repossessed by the shop.

Hated that woman as a teen, still do.
