It wasn't meant to offend...as being a heavy person for MANY years, I often look in the mirror and not see myself as beautiful, but when I look on the inside, I ALWAYS see beautiful...even when people only judge the outside. see the point...I for any reason would never put down others for the struggles we share. Sorry!
