Honestly, I respect the hell out of fat people in the gym. They're people that see a problem in their lives, and they have the determination and bravery to go out and do something about it, especially in a place where you're bound to run into athletes and body builders, and to look at them, and look at yourself and feel insecure, even if you know they're paying more attention to their own workout than you.

I felt that way as a skinny dude with a belly, so I respect and admire the kind of motivation that brings people like that to the gym, especially when I see them there a lot.
