CutTheCurby is right. Look at it from the opposite perspective. Much like fat people, I had/have a difficult time moving my weight in a particular direction. Unlike most fat people, I made  58b2   a choice to change the way I was, and was dedicated to doing so. Like I said before, I would look in the mirror at my own body and feel embarrassed, and I made sure that I wouldn't be that way.  For a while, I even had very "fatlogic-esq" beliefs that "No matter what I do I will be skinny." A section of my family is full of skinny people that never really worry about getting obese.  And especially now that I can't workout (MRI results came in: Rotator Cuff Tear), it's equally infuriating to know that people who complain about wanting to lose weight and do nothing when making an effort to do so isn't hard. Which ever way the scale needs to move is inconsequential.
