I totally agree that being healthy doesn't mean thin but in my weird little brain I would rather be thin than healthy.
Some great posts on here and I guess what most of them boil down to is this is a complicated and annoying issue.
I think I have mentioned somewhere else that I really hate the "just eat less and do exercise" response that a lot of overweight people have to deal with, it ranks (to me) alongside the advice to "just don't drink then", in that it is factually correct and utterly useless.
I personally am trying to train myself to see food as fuel and exercise as a thing I need to do to make my life longer and better but the disgust I feel for myself (over my lack of self control) colours everything.
Having had my little whinge I would also like to add that I haven't given up and more importantly I am starting to realise that being fat doesn't make me a bad person and the size jeans I am wearing isn't going to change my life
