I'm a fattist as well
I've just been reading an article in the Mail and cannot believe the excuses that the overweight peeps in the article used to justify their condition.
It's the downright denial of their condition that worries me, and the attitude that it must be someone else's fault. Someone should tell them in no certain terms that it's their life and they, and only they, are responsible for it.
