This question may be more for those of us that have had life long weight issues.
Do you think being "fat" has shaped your personality? Do you think its made you quieter because you are trying not to draw attention to yourself (and your weight)? Or have you swung in the other direction...being out going and in-your-face? Maybe funnier? Are you maybe a little snippy, with the 'get them before they get me' approach?
I must admit, growing up, I was quiet, definately not aggressive. But year after year, I got made fun of (more like harassed) because of my weight. And year after year more and more anger and resentment grew. And somewhere along the way I turned into an out going person that, would put my foot up your *** if you even tried to treat me poorly. I also developed and still have the "yeah I'm fat, what's your point attitude". I often wonder, had I not been pushed to the breaking point over and over for years and years growing up, would I have been a quieter, less aggressive person.
Has your weight made you a different person?
