Congratulations, you're today's 100th post about how much fat people suck!

On a serious note, blanket shaming will not work.  As a fat person, I can confidently say that no amount of shaming will make you lose weight if you aren't already motivated to do it.  That said, some people can get motivated by being shamed.  Some of us cannot.  Some of us are ambivalent to it, or worse, it just further tanks your non-existant self-esteem and you'll go eat away your troubles, which just makes you fatter.  I fall into the latter category, and it sucks.  It's a vicious, self-perpetuating cycle.

So shaming is not the answer because it's not a universal motivator.  I wish I had something that was.

And before I get my daily dose of hate for being a fat guy, yes, I acknowledge that I am responsible for me being fat, and yes, I *am* doing something about it.
