Thank you.  I am so tired of them preaching about how their journey to self love was fraught with blah, blah, blah. Dammit, if you had a fat childhood, you knew your life as a fat adult wouldn't be any easier.  Why didn't you do something to fix it when it would have been relatively easy instead of just learning to "love" and "accept" yourself the way you are?      Oh.  I answered my own question.   It's the path of least resistance.
