Wow! Actually did you know that being uncaring and arrogant can knock years of your life? All that stress of being judgmental and there you were thinking you were looking after yourself.

Ha! I've seen it all now. Go into any hospital and you will find overweight nurses, doctors and other workers. Most workplaces have some overweight staff, and they work hard and they pay tax. Shock horror many overweight people lead perfectly normal lives they have just decided that actually they are happy the way the are and have decided to get off the daily grind of counting calories, points or whatever the trend of the day is, and to just get on with the business of being happy with their lives and their bodies.

Exactly. Some people love food some don't. If losing weight was as easy as some would have us believe then we would all be thin.

No it isn't. There is plenty of scientific proof. There is also plenty of proof that psychological issues play a big part in weight gain.
