Alright, I am whining too much now =p

I just don't want any more discrimination. I'm so tired of starving myself, taking laxatives that give excruciating pain for a few hours before working, crying after eating, spending all my money on xenical pills, running miles at a time, sweating like a pig with my flesh wobbling around as I run and pleople staring at me.
People don't understand some of us are desperate. It's not lack of discipline, at least not now in my case (used to be when I was a child)

I want a social revolution XD

Laxatives, pills, starving, etc are definitely not the answer if you are looking to lose weight and keep it off. (that's where we come in )

Something to consider, it's not just being overweight that brings negative attention from some people, it's being anything different that society perceives as not the norm.

If you're in a wheelchair, people stare. If you wear a turbin in the United States, people stare. If you're African-American and live in a small rural town, people stare.....and not only do these people stare, they may make comments, slurs, or even give them a hard time.

I completely agree with what you've said, but I think it's one of the big flaws of society, how judgmental people are of those who aren't like them.
