Which brings me to the fact that we, most of us posting here, have indicated that while we may judge people on character flaws, we do NOT judge people for being fat.
I hope our officially overweight friends realize this. Gosh, some of the most amazing people I know are kinda fat ... and it means not a fig to me. Less than a fig.
Fortunately, I don't know any fat people who have bitched and moaned - to me at least - about losing weight. I have some friends who have lost amazing amount of weight, and I am proud of them for doing so. But I am simply not conversely ashamed of any who don't care to embark on the effort.
That being said, I think we all can personally benefit by taking personal responsibity for every form and condition of our lives. Fat, thin, short, bald, gay, rich, poor, kind, mean, red or pink ... to the degree we take responsibility for it all, biologic or not - - we will be empowered and alive in a way that people stuck with a sense of victimization can never achieve.
