That has to be the most ill thought post I have read in a long long time. Wiglet posted 2 very well thought out messages that highlight that not evryone who is over weight over eats!

I had a terrible experience with my weight, one of the medications I took a couple of years ago caused massive shifts in my metabolism and also my hormones which caused me to gain a lot of weight. I struggled to lose that weight once the medication had ceased. I still struggle daily to maintain a healthy weight, it doesnt come easily to me and that is down to other health problems, so when someone is small minded enough to say "eat less" it angers me!

Also look at recent research that suggests people are pre-disposed to being overweight from birth.
