Why, oh WHY do people see losing over 300lbs or more as "a little hard work"? It's MORE THAN THAT!!!!!!! I COULDN'T work out at 477lbs! Yes, that's what I weighed! You try fitting a 70"+ hip on a skinny statinary bike! You try walking when your ankles are perpetually swollen! I could BARELY walk up the stairs, so please don't call it a "little hard work". I was the walking dead!!!!!!
Second, if you substitute alcohol or heroin for food, would the alcoholic be seen as a moral failure as well? It's a form of addiction. Obesity is an illness. Stop persecuting people for weight! Christ, I am SO tired of that!!!!!! It is damn hard to stick to my weight loss goals everyday! But, I try. I am no less than anyone else because of how I look or what substance I chose to use to medicate myself. I have posted before what I suffered through, so I won't rehash it, but please, PLEASE, stop saying "It's just a matter of a little hard work!" Hauling a 1/4 ton body around was hard, too! But I did what I had to to, and I'm still going to get shit for it?!?! NO WAY!!!!!!!
