@NeverEnough: Also, Twinkies and walking? Surely someone entitled to post "first" can do better than that. Do you have Bingo yet?

Also, socialites don't eat Twinkies. ...

NeverEnough, your first comment is about as ignorant as IdiotBrill's. Fat isn't a disease, it doesn't need a "cure" and no, it's most definitely not about twinkies and couching. Jesus.

As the survivor of a deadly condition with years of great suffering myself, I'll now have the pleasure of eating when I'm hungry and enjoying it, without worrying that I'm "too fat" to be allowed to do so. And I hate twinkies. I don't eat any more or worse than any average person, thin or fat. Most don't.

Wow that is so strange! The voices in MY head made me refrain from addressing them as "guys" way back in '03. Apparently one have them had read something by Alice Walker where she said that pronoun was completely offensive and sexist when those being referred to are a group of both sexes. Emily's schizophrenia is laid back.

next thing she will advocate chemotherapy as a great way to lose weight. her friend got sooo skinny when she was battling breast cancer that it inspired em to try and get a doctor to put her on chemo although she is not sick. so okay, her friend eventually died, but she looked awesome the last few weeks of her life.
