this is daft I know BUT am so mad at all the comments I read on facebook last night about Biggest Loser UK...stuff like 'omg, they are gross' and ' ha ha - look at their bellies' and 'they should be losing so much more being so big'....feel like screaming at all those who wrote on facebook...'just be thankful that you haven't got weight problems or an overeating disorder'

Makes me so mad that there is so little sympathy for people who are trying to lose weight. Take some guts for those people to go on Biggest Loser.

People are different aren't they? I really struggle to lose even a 1lb a week, but fortunately don't put on very easily either.

One friend of mine puts on very easily but also loses very easily.

Another friend of mine is intelligent and successful in life but genuinely has a problem with her out of control eating which makes her life miserable. If she had anorexia someone would help her...but all she gets told is 'stop eating pies fatty' or words to that effect.

Why can't people just be a bit nicer to each other?

ok..rant over...

I agree with you. A woman on Loose Women yesterday (Corrie actress) had lost a lot of weight, and used to be a size 16 (wish I was back there - seems like a distant memory!) and said "I was such a HEIFER". Struck me as being very insensitive of everyone size 16 plus. Why can't people say "when I used to be bigger".
Weight discrimination seems to be the only 'ism' that is still regarded as acceptable for some reason.

Bang out of order!
