I don't blame people for being fat. I certainly had ballooned up slowly over about 12 years (from 185 to around 249). I didn't look huge, but I certainly didn't look as good as I could. I was just like others in that I knew it was unhealthy, etc. I'm not sure what it was that finally kicked in for me. The doctor telling me I was on the verge of diabetes if I didn't do something was part of it. My wife losing 20 lbs and looking fantastic was the other. Either way, I went on a diet around June of this year and weighed in at 193 last Saturday. I still have about 19 lbs to get to where I want to be. It is a hard road, and everything is designed to make you fail (fast food restaurants, etc.). Like someone said, the US is a gluttonous society. It is hard to buck the norm.
