Re: a bill to NOT serve fat people... they can accept me or not

February 5, 2008

I agree. And it should be your right or anyone else's to NOT change their diet

if they do not WANT to. It is rediculous. And people with this damn fibro crap

don't have alot of choices sometimes because it makes us so damn tired and full

of pain we can't begin to fathom cooking " low fat " . Hell, sometimes I have a

hard time just heating left overs.

Bottom line, it is our choice to make, not the government or the restaraunts.

They should have the high fat food and some low cal choices just as most of them

do now. They should not be forced to cook a certain way.

And I have learned to accept my body the way it is now. I don't give a shit

about losing weight. I am not morbidly obese and even if I was, I think I still

have a right to accept me for who I am. If the rest of the world can't, that is

their problem, not mine. I will never look like I did when I was 17. This body

has been through pain, suffering, stress, and birthing children. So let it be.

It is me and I don't care what anyone thinks about my few extra pounds. And

fibro is not caused by being fat either. Alot of people have this disease that

are FAR from fat. It even strikes people in great physical condition in the

prime of life. So I don't need any doctor or anyone to tell me I hurt because I

am overweight. They are ignorant.

I have to disagree about even fast food resturants being fined for not

FOR THEM!!! I'm sorry but nobody who is overweight can blame any other

person, company, resturant, etc for them being overweight. It is OUR

fault not Mcs because they cook hamburgers, cheeseburgers and

fries. I have been fat all my life and NEVER have I even thought of

blaming it on anyone else or any type of businses that serves food.

Being fat is not a disease, it is not the responsibility of anyone

else to monitor our food, it is MY responsiblity to eat heathly and

watch what I eat. Now, I know that I don't do that like I should

because I am lazy and I don't want to come home and cook from scratch

every night so we tend to eat more frozen processed food than I should

and I know that I eat more high calorie food than I should, but it's

my fault that I have the lack of willpower to stick to a diet, NOT a

resturants!

Just my two cents worth
