On this basis I try to help them. When I was really fat people who acted disgusted by me were avoided. I considered them to be stuck up. I think it is funny that I have turned the tables on these guys who now cannot meet my standards...lol. We all have issues...we can also get along if we try. Unconditional acceptance is what I aim for, but I still fall short.

Perhaps I need to clarify. People who come into my gym, or pick up a kettlebell, or dumbbell, or do anything to improve their health are not the problem. The problem is those who will not lift a finger to help themselves, but instead sue the hospital for not having an MRI big enough to accommodate them, or give up on walking and ride a scooter not because they have any disability of any kind, but because walking has become too hard.
I also have to point out there is a world of difference between not grasping how to work the internet, and being unwilling to take a couple of simple steps to
save your life.
