@creative51 My comment above wasn't intended as 'fat shaming' just that the bathing suit was not one that anyone in their right frame of mind would wear publicly in my opinion.
And, btw, I am a wee bit on the excessive weight sized as well.

@creative51 Ditto, though I wouldn't even accept doing that even as a dare with a prize of millions.

because they don't care what you think maybe?

@JeffMesser they just don't care period.

Was thinking the same thing.

My guess is sugar or other addiction. For some, including me, sugar is highly addictive and makes you want to eat more, and more, and more. I was close to 300# for many years. I finally got to the root of my issues other issues and including controlling the sugar and I've been losing weight gradually over the past 10 years and more rapidly this last 6 months. It is insidious, you don't realize how much sugar is in processed foods, including foods that aren't sweet.

@HippieChick58 you are so right. I too spent many years overweight because of my sweet tooth. I also have a love of bread and pasta that I had to get under control. Since switching over to a plant-based diet and sticking with it, I am feeling much better and in two months time I have lost 10 lb by just eating that way and walking my dog twice a day. It is hard on the body to be addicted to the sugar but we have to try to get off of that crap it is nothing but poison for our bodies.
