I almost had enough courage to interduce myself and ask her if she would like to start walking wim me?I dunno if thats out of line or not, but she's always by herself and I am sure she lives close by.

Go for it! The most she can say is 'no'
you're entitled to how you feel - and personally i find lying exhausting - my memory just isn't that good... but why does someone elses lie matter to you? Does weight come up often in discussion?

What I hate about obesity:
1) I hate how it's still socially acceptable to make fun of fat people, as if we really enjoy our problem.
2) I hate how people come up to you and ask you if you're pregnant, thinking that's such a cute thing to say.
3) I hate how in the name of "free enterprise" we let food companies and pharmaceutical companies rip us off with new chemical ways to get rid of obesity, when all they are doing is perpetuating the obesity yo-yo.
4) I hate all the hucksters out there, like Dr. Phil, who get rich off fat people through selling them special food, instead of educating them to buy healthy food in the grocery store.
5) I hate how under the banner of "no child left behind" we are practically eliminating sports and athletic activity in elementary school, because there's not enough time left to teach our little kids how to take all these &#&*#&# tests -- thus creating a whole new generation of obese children.
6) I hate how commercials on TV promote obesity, without any warnings at all, just as cigarette commercials promoted lung cancer with no warnings 40 years ago ("Winston tastes good, like a cigarette should!).
7) I hate how the fashion industry promotes size zero models, and the anorexia and bulimia that goes with it, and especially the effect that has on young adolescent girls.
8) I hate the magazine cover designers, who think it is just fine to Photoshop away pounds to promote an "ideal" that is unattainable.
9) I hate how people presume it is just a matter of will power to lose weight.
10) I hate it when people presume that it does not take will power to lose weight.
11) In other words, I hate it when ultra-simplistic solutions are proposed for our problem. This is a complex issue, involving both personal commitment and society as a whole. Many of us in this forum will succeed, but for every one of us who does, there are a hundred more out there who won't.

Amen to that - If I had a dollar for every time I heard (and not neccessarily directed at me) all you have to do is eat less and exercise more... I'd be a wealthy woman... it is that simple but it's not that simple if a person isnt in the right mindset and ready to make the change...

What aggravates me most about that punk relapse is that he is posting garbage on this website which is supposed to encourage us to lose weight rather than put us down. This website personally helped me lose weight, I was 290 pounds just two years ago at age 14 and with the help of this website I am down to 215 pounds, I work out atleast 3x per week, and I have a very good chance of starting on my varsity football team.
I wish he could have been put in my shoes and see how I felt when I continually gained weight and felt worse about myself every day.

I try not to hate a person for their physical shortcomings. What I hated most about being a fat person was that skinny people automatically assumed I was stupid because I was fat. Like, because I carried around some extra weight I was less capable then a skinny person to say, administrate a budget or manage employees. I hate when a society attaches a stigma to a group of people just because. All fat people are not lazy and stupid, just like all skinny people are not motivated and smart. If lines were drawn that finite we'd all have alot more problems.
