Well, to be perfectly honest, I, in part, agree with you.

Then again, I know one of the girls your talking about (I know this because of things which have been said in person), and, at least in her case, she didn't suddenly "explode." It was a little bit of gain, here and there, over the course of six years.

Frankly, yeah, I'm disappointed in her for "letting herself go," but, really, did she? When it's gradual like that, it's hard for you and those around you to gauge how much weight is actually being gained. It's only when someone like you, who, so to speak, "used to know her," sees a drastic change from what you remember to how she is now that it seems to have been an explosion of weight.

All that said, though, you aren't a "horrible" person. I think it's ridiculous that people try to make fat out to be anything other than unappealing. To be honest, though, someone could be too thin, it's called being emaciated; that's just as unappealing.

I'm just going to shut up now, before I alienate the entire world ...
