I disagree. I am not someone with an empty, useless life. I have a fulfilling career in an area I love (using my creativity), a good circle of friends, active social life, and many interests and hobbies. Yet I am still obese and obsessed with food. I don't know why, I wish it wasn't so, but I don't like to be characterised…

Live to eat!!!! I have lots of good things and people in my life and i live for those things too, but food is NOT just fuel for me, I love love love love LOVE to eat, i guess that is how I got to 410lbs.

I am a gay man. I weigh 340lbs, down from 410lbs. I'd be really keen to connect with any lesbian, gay, bisexual people who are/have been big like me, because being lgbt and obese can feel quite invisable and lonely sometimes i think.

MPF has me on 2630 a day and that is before exercise, I thought that was a record, but no!

that you say 'last 6lbs' suggest u lost some already so just keep on what ever you were doing, it sounds like this is just confusing you a bit.

European background, maybe Turkish or something. Probably, to tick a box 'Caucasian'.

Without meaning to be chippy... I don't think the English speakers need to tell Spanish speakers this. I willl reiterate, if someone speaks no English while living here, it is likely because they are very isolated socially, else they'd have picked it up. Include them, be kind, make them feel welcome... that is what will…

Yeah, I agree it's rude if non speakers of the language are present. It can get awkward if you at a gathereing where some speak only english and some only spanish (most spanish speakers i know do speak english though), but I always do my best to make people feel included. I know how isolating it felt before I spoke good…

I think Swedish are likely to be seen as cosmopolitan visitors. Spanish (also Polish, Hindi, etc.) aren't seen the same because they are associated with 'undesirable' immigrants. That is what I think anyway. To be fair, there are less Puerto Rican, Mexican etc immigrants in the UK, so I suppose here Spanish may equally be…

You might not have been addicted to food but i feel this accurately describes me, because i get so upset and distress and panic if I can't have what I feel is an adequate amount of food, and sometimes get real panic if I can't binge, like for real it's an emotional thing, it's deeper than just liking food.

The people saying you should learn the language if you live there... isn't my speaking of English here evidence that I do? Oh well. I get that point. I think those who don't speak English who live here are the real victims, not you. Because apart from that it is hard lving someone where you don't speak the langaueg, you…

Yes unfortunately I don't speak a word of english. I don't even know how to say 'Hello' and 'Good day'

Notprivate in the sense of discussing sensitive matters but it was just a chat between 3 people, we weren't making an address to a larger group. It can't just be us ethnics who have chats between ourselves, regardless of language.

I'm wondering this too Lexi, I hope nothing to worry about!

I have observed this myself... language is more annoying in one you no understand, becuase it just sounds like jabbering old noise. But I see that as my issue tbh. Because how is that fair? English sounds annoying to none speakers too, I remember frm when when I was one. People being obnoxiously loud in general is annoying…

What does go on in this country? Whatever it is, I am sure the fact that me and my very large family all coming here is part of it... like, I can't deny we have impacted on the place. All positively though :D Yeah, I am reflecting on my own behaviour, to consider if he could have thought we were looking at him. I totally…

Well, conflicting views on this as ever, but thatnks for the input everyone. I do sort of feel that carbs aren't my problem. It's more likely just eating too much and too high fat. And the main reason for that is like Nix say- not being organised enough and planning, so grabbing stuff on the go whichtends to be less…

Ha ha, can just see that look on your face when she said it. I once had a sort of boyfriend who called me chubby and fatty often but he was kinda 'into' that stuff and I think he got off on it a bitm HA! This thread is just reinforcing to mehow very very RUDE some people are! And being family is no excuse!

Got my reply- it just says this: Thank you for your feedback regarding the models in our catalogue We love to hear what our customers think about our products, and I'd like to thank you for taking the time to contact us. Your comments have been passed on to our marketing department. If you have any problems or would like…

Oh wow, isn't it true? I think this is a thing about being male and overweight... people think they can openly call you big to your face, like it is your title or something. A typical example like I was with my friends, and there was a guy there who was friends with one of my friends, and he said to me like 'OK big fella',…

Awww, blister lamb, that hurts :( I have also had some very hurtful ones, I guess we all have (I had kids pretending it is an earthquake when I go past). But to be lighthearted, some cute ones too... my best latino comedian Gabriel Inglesias says he is 'just fluffy', I like that one! Also I got called 'cuddly' before... I…

You should me, I make morbid obese look to die for, pun intended, hehe. Serious, I am a good looking man.

I can't believe you want me to walk around naked.... my body must be beautiful after all, if so many people want to see it!! I just think it'd be nice to reflect the customer base, and show that fat people can look stylish in the clothing too. I am not ashamed. Like I say, they should put me in the adverts. I am trying to…

So, you want me to walk around naked? Shops shouldn't be 'accodating my needs' by doing clothing that fits. YOU WANT ME TO WALK AROUND NAKED? I have lost 70lbs already but more to go and I still need big sizes.... MI NAKEEED???????? Do tell me.

I don't see why size 16 is OK but 5xl is not. It's all people who exist and need clothing. I buy 6xl sometimes. Is the shop endorsing obesity to sell it? Because someone has to sell it. And I think they should reflect the reality of their brand. People aren't going to become obese because of it, but it might give some…

Not been called stocky before, but chubby very often. Which I found kindly euphamistic since I was over 400lbs at my heaviest! I always wonder what people will say if they have to... I think 'bigger' is common, like 'We might have to get your t shirt printed specially because you're.... bigger'(when I was in a choir once…

They should have me on it, I am very resprisentative of something to aspire to.

I don't think brands care about health, they only do whats best for marketting. Maybe muscle ppl prefer not to be assocaited with us, but as I say, I think most fat ppl would prefer to see some people more their shape. Yes, not all xl people are overweight, but in a company selling xl to 5xl, most customers are probably…
