>Nearly four years after a picture of her falling out of her motorized cart at a Walmart went viral, Jennifer Knapp Wilkinson wrote about the devastating toll becoming a meme took on her health
>Not only does Knapp Wilkinson, now 39, have spondylolisthesis, making her prone to falling and it difficult for her to walk, but she also suffers from severe mental health issues.
>Ultimately, she wants everyone to know “It is never just harmless fun to laugh at someone.”
>“I went to get a case of soda for my husband (He drinks this stuff by the gallons) and I turn and tried to grab a case off the shelf and the cart tipped,” she wrote. “I thought I saw a flash of light and heard some young girls giggling. I thought nothing of it cause I am use to hearing people make fun of me or saying snide remarks. It was nothing new.”
>Months later, the picture was plastered on People of Walmart and Reddit, exacerbating her anxiety and PTSD.
>"The fact that people assume I am fat because I am lazy is false. Or they assume I am fat because I want to be on disability. Obese people are treated as less than human and as something to ridicule. I just want people to be aware that fat people are people too.”
