i like red licorice and and i just like regular food you know just cornbread goods and beans and fried chicken and you know just
food i eat too much too often when i get nervous i eat and when i'm depressed i eat i just eat anytime well i don't like myself
fat In fact, I could say I hate myself.
I feel really self-conscious around other people.
I feel like everyone's watching me, and I feel like a fat person just isn't lovable.
My
parents
are overweight.
It could have been from their example, but I think it's just because of myself.
I just never controlled myself or my diet or anything.
They made these women do these interviews while eating at the same time to try to show that these that these gals have some kind of a giant problem.
You know, it really makes my stomach turn just to watch this so far.
I don't even know if I can make it through all of this is a horrific film.
I'm too fat because I eat too much.
Maybe I think food is security.
It kind of numbs me.
I don't date very much.
And notice, they always want to tie in the amount of dates that you have with your supposed body size.
Like, if you only were to lose some weight, then you could hang out with hot guys.
It's absolutely gross.
I date a few times, and most of the guys are just friends.
And the message that we're sending here is that men only desire women who are thin.
And therefore, if you want to be desirable to men, then you've got to drop your weight.
It doesn't really matter anyway.
It's important, and I'm going to be interrupting this film quite a bit.
