It's pretty shocking. I feel a lot of pity to tell you the truth.

Looks like people with some serious problems that really need help. You probably have compulsive eaters from all different reasons. Abuse victims whatever. They feel alienated and worthless and then not being able to control their eating and being obese feeds that and creates a vicious cycle leading to more eating to feel better. It's an addiction.

I know a lot of people think you can't become addicted to food but you can.

I tried to think why would people say they want to become obese and then create a "community" around it and the only thing I can think is a defense mechanism. It's kind of a sour grapes thing. You feel out of control of everything. You feel like you don't belong and you are looked down on. You can't control the feelings and you can't control the weight and that leads to more weight which makes you feel more worthless. So you "decide" that you don't want to be thin. You like being obese and you join up with a pseudo community of other like minded people where you can feel like you belong and have a sense of indentity. It's a reality escape. Sadly someone who's gone that far is not likely to ever become healthy again.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
