I am a weight loss coach working with morbidly obese people to help them lose weight naturally like I did. Eight years ago I lost "half my size" after 50 years of miserable obesity. Now at 60, I have never had another problem with my weight.

As of 2016, the last year the CDC published stats, 40% of Americans were overweight and 40% were obese. Those stats are surely worse now.

I was fat from the 1960's to 2011. I swam while fat, and was called "Whale on the Beach" more times than I can count. Do you think that made me lose weight? No. I had to be near death first.

Fat shaming is part of the deal, and fat people should have no illusions that anyone thinks they look good except for the 5% of weirdos. I'm in groups of women trying to get online dates (trawling for weight loss coaching candidates). None of those women think they can or should lose weight. They just want the men in there to not care and think they are beautiful anyway. (They are not.)

After I lost the weight, I had to flee to SE Asia to get away from all the fat people in the US since I could not stand to be surrounded by them. They need to get a clue. Either lose weight, or know that you will be looked down upon no matter that you are in the vast majority now.
