Is being fat a crime?

Shopping for clothes is a woman's favourite past time I would assume? But it hurts me when I go shopping with my friend, but she is a bit on the heavier side, and she cannot find pretty clothes her size. Then I would feel so guilty when I am able to buy nice tops and bottoms. Why do they not have bigger sizes as well. There is a fair share of heavier people around. And I don't find it a crime. Do you? Please discuss.

While it's not a crime, people often treat those of us who are overweight as if we were the worst of criminals. I have an illness that causes huge weight fluctuations, and you'd think skinny me and fat me were two entirely different people. When my weight is up, people act as if I'm stupid, slovenly and a major pain. When I'm thin, people are warm and friendly. Since I see both sides least once a year, I know how prejudiced most people are towards the heavy ones.

I dont know why but I know from when I was heavier that its FRUSTRATING BEYOND BELIEF and a serious damage to ones self esteem....I'm smaller now so its not an issue EXCEPT for bras....I like sexy pretty bras but being a 40DD its hard to find the REALLY nice ones in my size without paying a fortune for them OR they only can be ordered via Catalogs (like with Fredricks or Vic Secret) which I'm not cool with....I dont mind buying pants and tops online but when it comes to bras I HAVE TO be able to try them on because the shapes/fits and sizing is so varied ya know..

Yes your right shopping is the past time for girls,hmmm fat is a crime? I dont think so,For me i hate to be fat cause i felt that when i wear clothes i dont felt sexy and it is not easy to find clothes in the mall.Now my stomach is getting bigger so i start to be careful with the food i eat cause i always get iritated when i wear cloths and what i see first is my bog stomach and i felt the day is bad for only like that hehehe.
