I don't hear ''smoking gives you cancer'' or ''smoking makes you look cheap'' on tv and go ''omg thats totally not fair! I can't help smoking! how insulting!''

A. Shouldn't be offended. (See what i said about smokers)
B. Should be prepared to accept that the reason it isn't seen as glamorous is because it's bad for you. And as statistics show, it isn't generally seen as attractive.
If i'm wearing a wacky hat on my head that i think is really cool. And somebody says to me ''Hey that hat looks god damn ridiculous''
If i truly liked the hat i wouldn't be offended or inclined to stop wearing the hat.
And for the record, i can't say I've met you, but, If facebook photos are anything to go by, you aren't even close to being fat.

i'm pretty sure at least 90% of fat people's weight can be faulted to themselves.
Y'know i don't know any exact statistics. And i don't have the patience to look it up either. But c'mon conditions that make you unable to lose weight are far less common than overweight people.
If anything 90% was a generous estimate.
