[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think glorifying morbidly obese is any better than glorifying super skinny.  Neither is healthy.  But I also don't believe in tearing people down because of their weight.  Tess seems like a wonderful person and if she is happy, who am I to judge. [/quote]

Her doctor should be judging her. Just because she "seems like a wonderful person" and "says" she is happy, does not make her a hero.[/quote]

[b]I read once where she said she thought no one could ever love her because she was fat and she had accepted that[/b] until she met her fiance Nick. [b]That is a terrible thing to accept about yourself, [/b]especially because she has control over her body and can do something about it.[b] Makes me sad.[/b][/quote]

What?  That someone can love you unconditionally because they see something special about the person you are?

She was feeling unlovable because people like you were screaming that being fat made her worthless.  But I guess Nick never got your message and now Tess has chosen to ignore you and live her life.

There was a time when I thought like you.  And you know what happened to me?  I gained weight.   And you know what?  I'm still me.  The people who love ME are still by my side.  The people who liked me for what my body looked like have long since scattered.  [/quote]

Wow are you stupid or overly sensitive or bad at reading or what? I said it made me feel sad that she thought no one could love her and that she just had to accept that. My heart went out to her. I didn't want someone else just to accept their fate because they were fat, because except in the most extenuating circumstances you have control over doing something about it.[/quote]
