Spend less time sitting at the computer writing crap in order to make your self feel better and make the effort to loose weight. Too many fatties spend a lot of time talking about doing something but then make a half assed attempt and fail! And to Joe. I'm not sure shunning is the right way to do it, but people should be made to feel ashamed. Get rid of all these programmes and websites where they say fat is ok, its not!

Wow, what a prick! No, fat is not fun, big is not beautiful, plump is not pleasant, and most fat people are not happy that their fat. (I hate being fat, I am trying to lose weight and be healthy again, while there have been some negative contributing factors to my being fat I blame no one but myself, and I do fine when I'm with other people, its when I am alone that its the hardest so making me even more alone certainly isn't going to help!) Yes, some try really hard to convince us that they are, especially those crazy "Fat Acceptance" people who talk as though it should be embraced, and yes there may be a few who actually are fat and happy; but, to actually claim that fat people should be ostracized and "outcast and made to feel bad" is ignorant, cruel, and downright idiotic. Yes, all the little platitudes such as "I'm a larger guy", "plus size", "a little extra baggage" are obnoxious and just ways to say fat without saying fat. I'm fat and I say I'm fat. I actually have to argue with people around me because when I say I'm fat they actually revert to all those platitudes. I don't beleive in sugar coating being fat, but criminy, outcasting is not the answer. I'm sure there have been some wonderful people who could have contributed something good to your life, but they were fat, so you missed out. Fat AND lazy/denial/apathetic is bad, but encouragment and help go alot farther than hatred and cruelty. Lastly, if anything, Mac was blaming himself for his poor choices, stating that HE doesn't stand firm and make good choices and instead takes the easy way out and follows the crowd. He wasn't claiming it was a good excuse, just that it is a factor that can affect his behavior, whereas I am the reverse and it is easier for me to make healthy choices despite the crowd.

BUT, if you actually read my post, you should have been able to see that I wasn't blaming people or making excuses for why I was fat. I was providing some insight and history as to how I got where I was...and saying that I was making progress and making better choices. Thanks again.
