[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am disgusted by people who are disgusted by fat people.

First, I think that as previous posts have noted, the fact that so many people are overweight is indicative that there is a  problem greater than "self control."

Second, assume that being overweight is solely, 100% attributable to a person's moral character (weak-willed, lazy, etc.)  If so, so what?  We are all flawed human beings.  My most overweight friends is also one of the kindest, most generous people I know.  She has great qualities, and maybe also some weaknesses, just like EVERY SINGLE OTHER HUMAN BEING in the world.

So for the thin people out there, think about your worst habits, your worst vices or failings, and imagine that they were emblazoned in giant neon lights across your chest and back for all the world to see, and could never be hidden.  Everywhere you go, constantly, everyone could see that you are selfish, or cheap, or insecure, or envious of those who are wealthier, or have better jobs, or who are better looking than you, or would know that you are a a huge slob at home, are incapable of forgiveness, or are up to your ears in credit card debt.  Imagine it being broadcast 24/7 that you are bad at your job, or unable to control your temper, or hit your kids and scream at your spouse, or are addicted to alcohol or pills or shopping onr online porn or gambling, or cheating on your spouse.  What if everyone could know and judge that you are in a sham, loveless marriage that you are only staying in for financial reasons or for the sake of the kids, or that you hate your parents and don't speak to them, or that you cut yourself, or that you are bulimic or anorexic.[/quote]
