Sorry, fat chicking coming through.

This is not a flame. I am not here to to insult anyone for their size. I don't care what size you are. The most important thing is that you are happy an healthy. I just have a comment.

We cry when we're over weight beause it's upsetting. That does not mean that we're sitting on our fat asses shoveling food into our mouths, and then complaining we are overweight. Granted there are some people out there who are like that. But to generalize all overweight people as lazy and stupid and ugly is what is bothering many people on that thread.

I will never be a size for no matter how hard I try. I am a big girl with big bones. The smallest I will ever be able to go (and still be healthy mind you) is about a 10...maybe an 8 if I'm lucky.
However, I excersize - I swim play hockey, go for walks, I try to eat the best that I can. I am also a diabetic. But my diabetes is a cause for weight problems. I am insulin resistant (I still make my own, but not enough to keep me alive). Therefore I have to take huge does of insulin to keep my sugars under control. The more insulin that is in my body, the more it is harder for me to control my weight. So before you start assuming that we're lazy, think about other problems that might be a factor in our weight issues (and just for the record, I have type 1 diabtes not type 2...my weight has nothing to do with me having diabetes).

Again, I'm not here to insult you or anyone. Please don't think that I am. Don't apologize to fat people for being who you are, never apologize for being who you are. Just don't judge us for being overweight.
