I've always wanted to thank everyone here First of all, I know the rules say no being fat, but I hope given the fact that I'm a fatty in transition and that I'm not dissenting against this sub or it's existence that it will be ok. If this get's removed I understand. I've always been overweight, I went on my first diet at age 8 (proof at least that my parents tried to rectify my poor habits). Luckily, I always played rugby, so at the very least I was active. But impulsive eating, stress eating, and laziness always made me the fat guy. After ballooning and shrinking all the way through my teenage years, at 21 I finally decided to make the right changes in my life.  During that time the /r/fatpeoplehate controversy was in it's prime. Initially I was conflicted by the sub, but after a while I realised that everyone here is right. Fat people are disgusting, they should be embarrassed, and don't even get me started on the whole tumblr fat shaming excuse bullshit. Eventually the sub, and now this community, became motivational for me. At 100kgs (220lbs) I'm still a long way from my goals. But in your own debateably perverse way, /v/fatpeoplehate and all the users here, keep me motivated to keep going. So thank you.  Fatty's going to be dead soon. I'll piss on his grave for you.
