Insensitivity and ignorance is an expanding problem that needs to be dealt with! The person who posted the above comments is uneducated about weight issues and is causing an unfair environment. The first thing the above poster should do is admit he is the problem and and has a problem. The human race can only process negativity at a certain rate. To keep judging is not solving the problem...
As an overweight person I am all to familiar with peoples ignorance, judgement, and complete insensitvity to this problem. These people know nothing of my medical or psychological history both of which are big factors in my being overweight. Often times these people have stupid suggestions for me like drink Slim Fast, assuming that this would help me without knowing my medical background. Others tell me to exercise more not having any idea what my life is like taking care of my household and kids. Nobody likes being overweight and I believe most people want to do things differently.
It takes positivity and support to make a difference in a persons life. You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. Failure is only an option if you believe in those who do not believe in you.
