I know where you're coming from, and I don't actively think this at the gym, but after watching my father pass away from a combination of being 400lbs, kidney failure, congestive heart failure, and diabetes, I feel glad when I see people working on their overall health, regardless if their goal is weight loss. I can't…

Your mom should hold her tongue. Body comments in the gym are unwarranted.

Actually, you'd probably not lose weight because you aren't eating enough with 1800 in 1000 out for your body to not go into starvation mode.

MS. UNICORN, JOG ALREADY. SHEESH.

It's not paranoia, you unobservant twit. Plenty of gyms (ones I've been a member of, even!) are populated with thin attractive mannequins. Maybe the judging isn't vocal but you can see people's faces.

"Our social event wasn't a big enough deal to her to warrant her breaking her diet and joining us in celebrating through food."

Your friends need to get over the fact that you don't want dessert. You're not the enemy. I'm roughly the same size as you with a slow metabolism.

"Because the couple didn't trust doctors in Hungary, Vilma didn't get medical care she needed,"

Agreed. My dad passed away from diabeters/kidney failure after having to miss a day of dialysis. To blame this on the airlines is stupid. It's not their fault. Yes, airlines can be assholes, but honestly, my dad was about her size and no, he wouldn't have fit on a plane. Sucks, but yeah.

Some just want sex, some try to kill their girlfriends, some get paid to write about gender interests and how some men just want sex after trying to kill their girlfriends.
