I do realize the people can be very mean and insensitive, but I'm not sure I remember seeing any anti-fat comments here on TFP.
The anti-fat comments that you do get from people are probably stemming from a lack of self esteem on their parts. Don't let their insecurity bother you. As cheezy and simplistic as it sounds, a persons worth does not stem from the exterior, but the interior. Judging by your posts, you are a very good person. You are a good person who just happens to be overweight. As someone who was overweight myself for 3 or 4 years, I do sympathise about the comments and the way society treats you. It isn't fair that there is all this pressure.
It also sounds like you are taking an active role in your health, so you can't be accused of being lazy or stagnent in your weight. That's better than most Americans. Most people will buy a fad diet book and follow it for a week before binging on McDonalds and Ben & Jerry's. You deserve credit for that.
If you'll notice in the exhibition section, no one really has negetive comments.
