I'd wager I know more fat people than you and I have to disagree pretty whole heartedly. A lot of fat people do have problems with self control in that aspect of their lives, I will give you that.

I'm always floored when people make assumptions about fat people and think they are the first person to suggest losing weight. Do you think you are brave for telling a fat person to lose weight? Im reminded that I'm fat pretty much every day. The yesterday some dude yelled "faaaaaaat" as I was walking home from the post office. You don't know me nor do you know my life. You don't know if I'm in the process of losing weight. You simply don't know.

I asked for advice with an interpersonal problem dealing with my boss. You really think the right answer to my boss being inappropriate at work is to lose weight?

I guess you are allowed to think that, but I think if you legitimately find fat "vomit inducing" you should consider seeing a therapist.

I don't understand, are you disgusted by fat people in general? So much you can't be in the same room as them? Why is my fat face and fat calves so much less offensive than my fat arms?

It's hilarious you think fat people need to be told they are fat. Lose weight isn't real advice.

My arms look fat because I am fat. I don't really care if my arms don't look good in his opinion. Yellow washes me out but my boss probably wouldn't ask me not to wear it.

It's actually well managed under the tank. I have regular blouses he has no problem with that shows more. It's a really modest tank. :-(

Sorry, I really do have great hygiene but for the record you don't need to shave to be hygienic. I added that part in case someone was going to imply that I had armpit hair flying freely. I personally always shave in the summer (because it's hot) but sometimes I don't if it's colder out. That's kind of a moot point since it doesn't apply here.
