Reply #65: Karl...

...I read your post this morning, over morning coffee. Because it was still first thing in the morning for me, I never digested (no pun intended) what you actually wrote until now. Now I am gonna say more.

I have always had respect for you, Karl, that is, right up until this thread.

Not only have you insulted your own flesh and blood, by insulting your sister, but you are equating all large people as being (in your own words) big fat pigs, who eat like one.

While I am not overly obese Karl, I am still a large woman. And I don't happen to be ugly either (one day I will post my picture.)

My weight isn't caused by over eating. I really do not eat that much. Most days I will skip either breakfast or lunch. When I have dinner, I do not fill my plate, because of skipping out on a meal, either. My weight gain is caused by a medical condition. A condition I didn't know I had until such time as I was sick to death of trying diet after diet, and never getting any weight loss with them.

I have polycystic ovaries, Karl. The reason I have weight gain is simply because my body produces a lot more male testosterone than it should. I do have other problems which are because of this medical condition, but the weight gain is the one which causes me the most embarrassment.

Why am I embarrassed, Karl? Simply because of small minded people like yourself, who have absolutely no consideration for a fellow human being.

I am sick to death of going out for a meal and having people stare at me. Now, I don't go out for meals, or if I do, it is very rare, and I do try to turn my back to the people, so I can't see them staring.

Before you insult people Karl, maybe you should really do some research into true medical conditions which cause people to be the way they are.
