I feel like alot of you have some deep fear of being fat, so you externalize that fear  No, we hate what they do to children and the drain they are to society. These are objective reasons. Maybe some people fear being fat but I don't think that's the majority of the people here.  I respect them for finally waking up  Don't. Don't respect someone for attempting something. Many of them lazily go to the gym to say they were there and I cannot tell you how many of them "reward" themselves with things like McDonald's afterwards, thinking they "earned it". Respecting fat people is pretty much the antithesis of this forum, so I'll show you out.
