I'd rather ride bikes with my kids on the bike trail then spend an hour running on a treadmill by myself. I'd rather teach my kids how to prepare a balanced meal then drink a shake for two meals a day. And I'd rather show them that their worth as a person has nothing to do with their appearance. *shrug* They are only little for a short time, and I don't want to teach my daughters that you have to look like any one thing (thin OR fat, or blonde or brunette, or anything else) to be self-confident and love yourself. That's just me, and I didn't always feel that way, so perhaps your statement applies to SOME fat people, but certainly not ALL fat people.

Anyway, anyone who assumes everyone else feels the way they do is acting ignorant.
