I appologize, I've been in Florida for the past week on the first vacation we've been on in the last 6 years, therefore my lack of responses.
Yes, I realize it sounds like I'm "defending" myself. I'm not. The explaination I gave stands, what I said is what I meant. In hindsight, my post seems simplistic and lends itself to scrutinism. Fine, scrutinize if you must.
This tread has gone way farther than I thought it would. Alot of opinions have come my way, from what I eat, don't eat, excercise, don't excercise, etc. Everyone has an opinion when it comes to someone who's "fat". I am not trying to change the world. I was just hoping to help the members of the TFP who aren't, conscious of the frivolous use of "fat" in posts.
Here is an example of a post that while not directed towards anyone here is what I'm talking about...

It's about 7-8 in the evening, on a Friday as I recall. We'd been drinking since 3 or 4. Out of nowhere someone notices a pizza car outside, and the driver is the FAT ass lady, and it's obvious there are a bunch of pizza's in the car.

I thought I had stated in an earlier post that I hadn't seen, nor was refering to, any overt comments from one member to another, just comments like the one above.
I am not emotionally scarred or overly sensitive. I find it curious that so many have labeled me as such or questioned whether I am. As I've said, people are not going to find fat attractive over-night, understandable. Really, there's nothing more I can say that I haven't already. I'll just "buck up little beaver" and let anything I find offensive roll off my back as some have suggested.
Again, thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread!
