That they happen to be fat means that a good deal of their posts have to do with fatness, I am here because they are entertaining and funny. Not because they are fat. Just because you are here to talk about your feelings and I am here to read and sometimes, but not often, comment about what had been said, does not give you any more right to be here than me.<BR/><BR/>I also have to ask you this, if nobody is confused about weight loss, why do some people complain about being fat? Why not just change it? Because most people ARE confused about weight loss, they just don't realise it. We are force-fed so many diets of the week, and new exercise programs that it is very difficult to wade through all the crap and find something that can actually work long term.<BR/><BR/>That's enough about that.<BR/><BR/>The thing is, this isn't a fat acceptance site.

I think every person on this site is fully aware that in order to lose weight you must exercise and eat right. I understand you think you are a genius for preaching to us "fatties" about it - but this is a fact known by fat and thin people that you did not create out of your so-called brilliant minds. If you had any intelligence whatsoever, and were able to think for yourself, you would realize that no one on this website is confused about how to lose weight or seeking your advice. We are here to chat about our feelings with respect to being overweight - and if you are not overweight then actually, no one is talking to you. You are just proving our point- that weight isn't everything- even thin you are rude and obnoxious, and might I add that your barging in and insulting people on a website where you are not wanted is what i would call disgusting.
