As one of your "fat chicks" I want to tell you that (1) I prefer sex over food but don't have a partner at present; (2) discrimination of ANY type, including weight, should be illegal; (3) people assume that fat people are fat because they do nothing but sit and stuff their faces all day, which in many cases is not true. Before making uninformed judgments, you should do a bit of research. Genetic predisposition, glandular disorders, emotional disorders, and medications being taken for other illnesses may all contribute to weight gain. Scientists are researching something, I think an amino acid called Leptin, which has to do with triggering the body's signal that hunger has been satisfied. I myself have an autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's disease, in which my body is trying to kill my thyroid gland, which controls metabolism. My endocrinologist has told me that despite taking thyroid medication for the rest of my life, my metabolism will always be slow, so I'd have to eat next to nothing and run ten miles a day to lose any appreciable amount of weight. No can do as I'm also diabetic and must eat at certain times of the day to keep my blood sugar levels steady. I'm also asthmatic and have orthopaedic problems from an accident and fall last summer, so exercise is a problem. In any event, I'd never wear a size 4 or 6 or 8--it just isn't in the cards. Marilyn Monroe wore a size 12/14, and everyone thought she was gorgeous. These days, all you guys would think she was fat. I'd be deliriously happy to wear a 14, and I wouldn't give a shit if I ever dated again or not--I'd be a lot healthier. I've got a 131 IQ, so while my wt. is higher than my IQ, I'm smarter than most of you bozos out there, so kiss my fat ass, and you better start now 'cause it'll take you a while, ha ha ha.
