In reply to Lydia.

While I can almost admire your concern for the health of fat people, I think you should totally educate yourself. Fatness is such a complicated issue. And boiling it down to not eating “right” and not exercising, is just grossly oversimplifying the issue.
Less than a year ago, I weighed 368 pounds. I’ve since have made significant changes to the way I live my life and have lost 77 pounds. And prior to making these changes I seriously ate every emotion that I had. I’m talking sadness, depression, loneliness, even happiness. I was so self-conscious about the way I looked that I couldn’t engage socially without drinking. People don’t understand the intense emotional struggles that can plague the obese and overweight. And the assumptions you are making are just woefully uninformed.
And it’s worth pointing out that while my own experiences with fatness have been a source of personal anxiety, there are people like my girlfriend who find their fatness to be a source of strength and power, womanhood and sexiness. And in a world where people spout off about their love of diversity and then make baseless judgments about people who look different than they do, finding empowerment in fatness is really refreshing — and more importantly, really, really hawt.
So please, take some time, surf the web, educate yourself. Being bigger is so much more complex than what you’ve chalked it up to be.

P.S. I’m sorry fatness has been costing you so much money. Really, I am. But in all honesty, your money is probs being spent in far more unsettling ways. Look into it.
