I guess I don't feel the overwhelming disgust and outright hate some people have for obese people, but I do wonder sometimes how someone's weight could have gotten so out of control.
I myself am carrying too much weight, but not to the point where I have to buy 2 seats on an airplane, use one of those scooters or a wheelchair to get around Disneyworld (you wouldn't believe how common that is), or have no choice but to wear a muu muu because nothing else will fit.
Nothing like going through a couple of pregnancies to make the weight creep up on you. I avoid junk food, don't eat fast food, and walk a couple of miles a day and lost some weight, but I don't think I'll ever get back to the weight I was when I was 21.
I do feel there's way too much hostility directed towards obese people the same way I feel there's way too much hostility directed towards smokers. Might as well open that can of worms too.
