Christ did this thread take off......on BOTH topics, I have been diabetic since 10 and had thyroid removed due to cancer at 25, luckily I am not overweight but it doesn't come without diet and exercise.. However, being obese or overweight has a lot to do with genes, thyroid levels and yes, sometimes food intake. I know plenty of thick beautiful people and those who can't gain weight no matter what.
As to the actual thread, I'm partial to Mat Fraser aka seal boy from AHS. He has embraced his "handicap" and turned it into art. love it.
We all have a "freak" in us whether it be physical, emotional, mental etc. Sometimes it's by choice, sometimes we're born with it. Those who have opinions about over or underweight people being "their choice" need to stop and realize they don't know the whole story.
I recently overheard some women who consider themselves "preachers for Christianity" say that if you or child were born or develop health or physical abnormalities have been touched by Satan....true story. Clearly with my health issues I was pissed but these idiots also compared Halloween to the KKK so idk, to me they were the biggest freaks of them all
