Nah, I totally get that. I'm used to /r/fatpeoplehate's culture of rapid and extremist harshness with shutting down dissenters and anything that could be seen as sympathy. Those examples I posted were showing just how little it took to be considered sympathetic. I was also pretty drunk last night and enjoying the argument and I'll do the same with my voats, and you are completely right, I am an ex-fat. Getting my verification was a very proud moment and one I am pretty quick to defend even though I haven't been able to get it transferred here.

Good to know i wasn't the only one, ha! (Curing PMS with scotch & FPH never fails - trying to limit it to once a month though, booze is expensive here.)
And good job on getting in shape. I actually admire the willpower to do it (regardless whatever i said). Keep it up! Even if it means the odd spot of 'extremism', you're still on the good side.

I appreciate it, but to be honest, I should have never let myself get there in the first place. An entire childhood of poor decisions led to an adolescence of getting picked on and lack of self worth to an early adulthood of poor self esteem all because I didn't want to do the work. Hate was a great motivator but I wish I had never let it get as bad as it was. I would have spared myself so much trouble. Still, BMI is fixed and now abs are the primary goal, then looking like Mike Tornabene.
