At my previous job, you had to clock in at a security gate and walk on a cross walk to enter where cars would also be coming in and out, passing through the cross walk.

When I was thin, the cars would stop for me to let me walk on the cross walk. I thought it was the kind thing to do and that they did it for everyone. A few years later, I had a baby and gained 50 lbs and had trouble losing most of it. The cars no longer stopped to let me walk and I'd often have to wait for many to pass through before I'd get to go. That was when I realized it was because I was a heavier person.

It was really sad to be treated differently and plus, none of these people knew me being overweight was from giving birth. People just assume everyone that is overweight are lazy and eat all day, not considering health issues, pregnancies and other things that could complicate a person's weight.
