Amidst all this weight loss, there is a self-loathing. I defend the rights of the obese. I defend a person's right to be happy no matter what their size or shape. I wasn't a miserable fatty and I don't think anyone should be. I do think if a person is unhappy about being fat, they should do something about it because everything is, ultimately, in our own hands. Half the time I think people aren't unhappy about being fat, but about other things or the way people treat them. People don't look fat people in the eye. That makes me a little mad.
That is why on a blog about our personal journey, I feel compelled to post the following video. (Warning: Penn's mouth is not within my control. Even I think he swears too much....)
(More - but only the first few minutes is related to diet. The rest is just, imo, interesting)
No, I don't buy into every word the present, but it really should get you questioning and thinking about what you eat and what other people say.
