Wow, so much ignorance here. Hypothyroid people can find it impossible to lose weight in any significant amount even with exercise and a low calorie diet. Mind you, you can't become 347 lbs without eating your way there, but there are many overweight people with thyroid and other problems who gained weight as soon as they were born and have never been thin despite eating less than their peers. To make matters worse, most of the "fixes" just cause more side-effects. Sure, there shouldn't be any pride in being an unhealthy weight, but I can say what you all are doing is discriminating, and if you can't bother to know the facts before you speak, you're just as bad as any racist.
Is it normal I'm tired of "fat pride?"
