Help me to correct it. (6.25) 1st

“Yes, I'm fat, but spare us the cruelty this summer”

I can understand this sentence want to express the bad feeling of fat person. But I cannot understand why in this sentence, writer uses “I”, then he/she uses “us”. What the word “us” means?

Watch the context (a few sentences before and a few sentences after). genzaimu below has a good point - but the speaker is probably part of a group that is the subject of the comment.

Without knowing the context from the rest of the paragraph/essay, it is not possible for anyone to know who "us" is exactly. Perhaps "us" refers to all fat people. "Us" in this case would mean that this person has some relation among a group of people.
