03 Apr 2012 Reading CNN's post about obese people's fashion leads you to believe that we live in a society where fat people are denied the basic liberties of life. These "fatshion" bloggers are either ignorant to the health problems associated with obesity or find it easier to stay fat and claim that the problem is with society rather than their own lifestyle choices. People who are obese have a much higher risk of health problems including but not limited to heart disease, strokes, cancer and diabetes. Instead of wasting energy on creating a phony civil rights issue, the fat acceptance movement needs to look in the mirror and realize it's not OK to be fat, sick and unhealthy.
26 Mar 2012 I have a very hard time keeping my eating under control, especially at night. I often wake up in the middle of the night from hunger which often results in weight gain.

16 Mar 2012 I started a diet about 6 weeks ago to lose weight. I am trying to follow a pattern of healthy eating and going to the gym 5 days a week. At the gym I jog, do uphill walking, cross training, etc. My diet consists of eating healthily, cutting out crisps/chocolates/fatty/snacks etc. I eat 3 well-balanced meals a day. The problem is though I haven't lost any weight - instead the scales show me that I have put it on! I really don't understand though because my clothes seem to be becoming slightly loose. Am I doing something wrong? -Yonatan

14 Mar 2012 I am a 4'11", adult female, and I've lately been eating roughly 1000 calories a day, sometimes a little over. It's not a crash diet, I've just cut out the junk food and am eating healthier foods. I've been getting a lot of mixed signals about this, as most people insist that 1000 calories is extremely unhealthy. Is it? I'm not a particularly active person; my work involves sitting in front of a computer. –Joanne
