+1 Why do women dig their heels in on this issue?

I have a friend a lot like yours, OP. And she almost defiantly [b]eats her face off[/b] because she thinks she deserves to be loved for who she is inside. I admit I don't have the guts to tell her point blank she is flushing her own romantic future down the toilet because toxic pride. [/quote]

+2. It's only for a season.  Once she gets the guy she can put the weight back on. [/quote]

Why is the assumption here that they stuff their face or eat unhealthy? I'm overweight. NOT one person who's lived with me or been my friend understands why. I eat a 90% vegetarian diet. I don't carbs for most of my meals. I have a couple of health issues that make it impossible to maintain weight unless I exercise at least an hour a day of cardio and 20 minutes of weights AND maintain my eating and DON'T drink. Well, I can maintain my eating, but I like drinking with friends and i don't always want to go to the gym. But I'm not sitting on my overweight ass eating burgers and fries, most of my lunches are salads without weird dressings and fat rich toppings. This is my body, and I'm done hating it and battling it. If you don't like me, fine, plenty of men and women do. But this assumption is so bullshit. [/quote]

I know so many overweight vegetarians...not sure what to make of that. [/quote]

I'm vegan and know many overweight vegans. Sometimes it's because they just eat junk (oreos are vegan, and there's now a ton of junk food alternatives on the market), sometimes it's because they are eating real food but still have a nutritional deficiency or don't eat enough calories. The latter happened to me- I ate zero junk but couldn't lose weight because I was very deficient in calories and nutrients. Like, I would sometimes just eat heads of lettuce for meals. [/quote]
