even though they say they want to lose weight, they don't. They're just doing it for attention/compliments/so they won't be judged etc... Hammys don't see a problem with their gluttonous lifestyles  So damn true.  When a fatty says "I can't lose weight" they are saying "please either tell me I am fine the way I am or that it is not my fault.  Preferably both."    Most of the ginormous people I've know (>100 pounds overweight) think they just need to lose 20 pounds.  Seriously, that's the number that always comes up for some reason.  They'll be nearly as big as Tess and say "I think I could stand to lose 20 pounds."
