I totally understand the feeling behind your desire to do this. I have had those feelings too, many times. But, unfortunately, I really think it would probably backfire.

I was thinking about this when I was at the beach last weekend. Here I am at 240 lbs, prancing around in my swim dress, having a great old time. There were probably people there who saw me and either were disgusted, or felt sorry for me. But, what they don't know is that last summer I was 328 and pretty much glued to my chair (the one I could find that would hold me) No walks on the beach for me then! We never know what is going on in someone else's life, unless they are close to us, and if they are, then our example will speak for itself.
