I was just shocked by these responses

Not sure why you are shocked. People who are that size have built up a pretty great wall of denial. They also (like anyone would) will get defensive if they are attacked or feel attacked.

But to be honest, they arent really happy and they aren't healthy. Exercise takes effort and when you are that size, I can't imagine it being fun. Factor in their lack of will power and there really is nothing that can be done. Also you facotr in the efforts made by a certian poster on this board who is going through weight loss through surgery (he's being proactive and handling the situation) and people still want to hate on him because he didn't lose it the "right" way. Like it makes a difference in the end.

The "fat-shaming" threads do get a bit old on here and the responses are always the same canned answers of hating people for being a certain size.
