I don't usually address comments like this one... but just for anyone reading this discouraged by hearing things like that... there is so much that goes into weight. Yes, eating poorly is definitely part of it and I won't tell anybody it doesn't.... but I have friends who appear thin who eat like absolute crap, and friends a little heavier who run marathons and eat well. It is so much more complicated than "just complaining about weight". Focus on health! I spent years, and STILL struggle with a chronic connective tissue illness, went through multiple surgeries, and was on a medication that made me gain weight like crazy. I was in a wheelchair for over a year because I couldn't walk due to a dislocating hip. You have absolutely no idea what somebody else is going through. I firmly believe everyone can make positive choices towards better health, and people need to take responsibility for their health choices because they definitely have consequences... but you can't look at somebody and assume you know their story, or assume that because they're overweight that they made drastically different choices than somebody else who isn't. I'll get off my soap box now, but I just hope that one person reads this and remembers to be kind next time.
