I disagree. I think being fat is a damn good thing to be afraid of, and I think being focused on it in a society that says being fat is OK is a really good thing. I think more people should be afraid of it - I myself control my weight very carefully, and weigh several times daily to maintain that control. My weight hasn't fluctuated more than a pound in four years and that is something I am very proud of. I derive much of my strength to do what I need to do from my hatred. I've always sort of thought that the dark side is a real force in a way, and that negative emotional energy can be channeled as a catalyst for change.
