i think there's a scientific line you cross. when you become unhealthily overweight, you are that, and sparing or cushioning your ego
or feelings about it is the last thing you should worry about. in fact, even if it seems empowering or outwardly beneficial, i'd have
to say "being proud of your fatness" could be more a hinderance to positive change.
nobody deserves to be ridiculed, especially about some of their obviously worst personal problems when they're already painfully aware
of them... but i think often the sentiment from the people doing the teasing is that it's a form of "tough love" if they care about
you at all, and the hope is that the teasing will light a fire of change under your butt that you couldn't have lit before.
i just worry that the whole Fat and Proud of it can be a detrimental liscense to stay unhealthy i guess.
