Some of you are skinny. Some of you were born skinny and stayed skinny. Some of you, are fat, or became fat after your metabolism slowed down, after you got pregnant, or after you moved to a city full of junk food.
Those of you who are skinny, are often directly or indirectly opposed to Fat people - like fat people aren't normal and need to lose weight to look like they belong. Kind of like in that Episode of Hell's kitchen where the guy is too fat to be permitted on the Helicopter ride (with several other people).
Now, what a lot of you who are fat don't know, and most of you who are skinny have probably forgotten, is something called Stretch marks. I did some checking, and they do not go away naturally. They cost upwards of $15,000 to remove with less than a good chance of success. Now some of you, who are fat, have probably been on several diets. You might have tried exercise, granola bars, yogurt, salads and lean meats. A few of you have actually figured out how to lose weight. What you aren't telling the rest of the fatties is itself more disgusting than a bucket of liposuctioned lard. You aren't telling them that even if they Do lose weight, they will be scarred for life. And the fatter they were, the more scars they will have.
Seriously, I have to ask at this juncture: What's the point?
Is weight loss - even the kind that reduces waste size, and builds muscle - is it worth it, when you will never be able to wear a swimsuit again? I put forward the idea that weight loss and dieting are largely pointless if your weight isn't going to kill you - because the stretch marks are going to look just as unpleasant to strangers as the fat would have been.
Why do you think fat people should still lose weight, if they are going to still look gross even after all the effort (such as the TV show "Biggest Loser)? Discuss.
