    Why is this something to be proud of?

    At 420 pounds, I find it really hard to believe that she "doesn't have health problems".

    Why post something like this?

    There's a really nice thread that came up today, and I think many of you should read it: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/864142-observations-on-body-shaming

    Is there some deep spiritual reason why you felt the need to post this? 'Cause I can't think of a reason.
    i thought of mentioning this but decided against it...thanks for posting :)

    {insert "people on MFP are so mean" text}

    Oh that's only us long time users. We're the ones who pick on all these good-hearted people with our nasty gifs.

    The funny part is seeing the same people in this thread that yesterday were telling a very fit woman "Eww I don't want to look like that ever!"

    I guess for some people you if you're either to heavy OR too in shape they feel it's their right to mock you for it. Even when they have so much weight they need to lose themselves...

    How many people posting on this thread have been hurt by the things people say about their bodies? Where do we draw the line?

    I agree with the "why post this?" comments. Does it matter that much to you? Or is it just to make you feel better by posting this? I just figure if and when she decides to lose, she will. If not, then let it be. Not hurting you or me is it?

    Actually, yes it is. Ever heard of insurance rates and why they are so high?

    Now think about if you were in her shoes. How would you feel if people were talking like this about you? Try putting the shoe on the other foot and think about other people's feelings other than your own for a change.

    "The weight epidemic is greatly affecting our health insurance" is a totally different statement and sentiment than "OMG GROSS! I'm scared! What is wrong with her!"

    Why would you post something like this? Her size is not affecting your life at all to my knowledge, and if shes happy with her body who cares?
