Let's not forget what it was like to not be large and looking good - no matter how long it has been. People stare, make assumptions and ridicule because they are intimidated, conciously or subconciously. Not only intimidated by physical size and appearance but because of the dedication and sacrifice made on a daily basis to achieve that physical appearance. Most people want great physiques and on some level they resent the fact that they could have those physiques, just like us - but they lack the self discipline to achieve and maintain it. We are constant reminders to many, of their inadequecies and failures in self-discipline.
