I don't believe we have discussed someone having sex with a 14 year old - or have I missed a thread? If you are referring to the discussion I think you are referring to then I suggest that you should get your facts right first. Not good for someone who is planning a career in law.

You didn't say you would prefer fat people not to be fat. You said you hate us. It is incredibly immature to hate someone who has never done you any harm but at least you were honest about it and I now know that although you don't even know me, you hate me.

Do you imagine for one moment that fat people enjoy being fat and wouldn't rather be slim? If only it was as easy as slim people think it is. Why do you imagine there are all these things like WeightWatchers and Slimming World? Even people who have won Slimmer of the Year often end up fatter than they were before. It isn't all about being a pig and stuffing your face but slim people just cannot understand that. Many of you have a 'holier than thou' attitude because you are fortunate enough not to have the problem.

We had a debate similar to this once before when a slim member of the forum said that no-one is ever offensive to fat people because it isn't PC but they insult skinny people like the waif thin supermodels. In my experience people are incredibly offensive to fat people. Now I dislike seeing people with their bones poking out of their skin and who just look like walking coathangers when modelling but I wouldn't say I hate them. I just hate the image they portray which is acheived by unnatural means and often ends up harming the person.

Of course I'd love to be slim. I have managed to lose a little this past 6 months. I haven't pigged out over Christmas on cake, trifle, pudding. In fact I can't physically eat as much as some people but it looks like I eat more because I eat more slowly. If I'm going out anywhere where there will be food (like an AccyWeb do) then I don't eat prior to that because I know I wouldn't be able to eat what was there.

I don't know what it's like for other fat people because everyone is different but I certainly don't enjoy it and if I could succeed in becoming slim again I hope I can manage to keep it off until I die.
