The first comment pisses me off. I must be a freak of nature according to that fatty, I don't believe that genetics make you fat (they can only make it a little harder to keep it off or make it slightly easier to gain weight) but I have a lot of massive obese family members so genetically I could have the fat gene these morons love to believe in. I am disabled by serious, lifelong mental illness and take a lot of heavy duty anti-psychotics as well as the pill, anti-depressants and other medications fatties love to claim made them gain weight.  Not only did I lose weight with all of these factors but I have maintained my low weight and size (I have a 23-24 inch waist. My BMI is in the range of 17.5 - 18)  for years while having these factors. Fat does not magically appear, it is the person putting those calories in their mouth and fat on their body. One medication I am prescribed and take is called Haloperidol, it does make me more hungry but I don't stuff my face. It so pisses me off that there are all these excuses and that each fatty on the planet always has some fucking excuse for their blobbiness. Just admit that you are a gluttonous, greedy fat shit for fucks sake, stop lying and stop acting like we don't see straight through you. I am so sick and tired of being surrounded by people and a society that values feelings, thoughts and excuses above truth, reality and fact, I hate the millions who have no self introspection and go through life blaming anything and anyone else for THEIR mistakes.  I am so sick of people who cannot be realistic and honest about themselves, a great irony is that all these fat fuckers spouting body positivity and self-love are just peddling excuses and denial - REAL self love at least includes being realistic/honest about you, your body, your habits and health and admitting the truth to your self, they are all liars and don't love themselves - that is clear as day to see. Fat women are especially bad for screaming at the world that they love themselves, are SOOOOOO confident and other bullshit when in reality they are just mindless, badly insecure and self indulgent shits who care only about themselves but have no problem blaming others for their faults and horrid behaviors- every fat woman I have ever known has ALWAYS had bad insecurities, no confidence and spend their lives hating their appearance and themselves. I know a fat right now who is so insecure about herself it affects the relationship with my friend - she is jealous, possessive and horrible with him over it.  Fats are just massive virtue-signalling, excuse making liars with no real perspective on themselves and their lives who do nothing but be horrible human beings, gods I fucking hate them.  The other fat pisses me off too, healthy eating is NOT expensive and even if it was, the cost would be worth it for the many benefits of eating well and being a healthy weight. Junk food is cheap(er) because it is junk, I would happily pay £1.50 for an Avocado over a 20p bag of crisps any day!  I don't know who this Ted guy is but I like what he said and he is damn right. I do smoke and use Cannabis but I rarely drink and eat well, I am hoping to quit smoking in the next year because I resent the substance having control over me. I know smoking is terrible and a stupid thing to do, I saw how decades of smoking affected my mother, I know I have to stop. The statistic is that one in two smokers die of smoking related illnesses, for me that means either me or my SO will die horribly thanks to such a stupid thing as smoking (I am trying to get him to quit with me too, he has smoked for decades). Once I get back from my big trip (13 days to go! :D ) I will start working on stopping. Here in the UK the NHS has a lot of help available for smokers who want to stop so I am hoping for help with it, I am badly addicted to nicotine and am sick of having to have a cigarette the moment I wake up. I want to be physically the healthiest I can be because mentally, while I hope for and constantly work towards getting better, I know that realistically I will always be severely mentally ill - the best I can hope for is that I cope with it better. For that reason I am trying to be more active as well, I plan to start weight training and want to improve my fitness. I have found that I love running :)  I am so sick of all these stupid and dangerous lies, misconceptions and the idiots spreading them, since when did being honest and realistic become a bad thing? :(
