Coramoor--- plus sized clothing IS already expensive. I have two clothing places that I shop, and at each place I can get an outfit for about $100, and these aren't name brands. Is it fair to punish people who are overweight due to genetics? For something that they couldn't help?
I don't think there is anyone out there that 'can't help it'. That is just another excuse.

I have a friend that is way over weight. At least 400 lbs. He knows he is overweight and has asked various people help him come up with a work out routine and better eating habits.

He'll stick to them for about a week, then we'll catch him waking up at 7am to go to McDonalds for breakfast. Or he'll skip class and eat at the student union. And suddenly had has so much homework that he can't go to the gym anymore.

Excuses.

It's a bad cycle. People eat b/c they feel bad about themselves and they feel bad about themselves b/c they eat. Yet they don't have the will power to do anything about it.
