I think fatter people have to make out they are confident because of the way we see 'fat'. Most 'fat' people are not fat at all they are just not the size zero that society says is fine.

They have to make up for prejudice. What is fat anyway? I used to work with an Indian lady who was a UK size 16, her husband loved her, in the UK she would have been seen as slightly over weight but not obese. She was gorgeous and looked lovely in everything she wore. By the way she had 4 kids so was still carrying her baby weight!

I am a English sized 8, I eat like a horse but actually according to some figures I am just not slim enough! How effing stupid is that! Size is not relevant at all, what is relevant is how fit you are.
