I don't think you mean to, but it sounds slightly .objestifying'.


Actually that you say is true but not in a bad way. I should've made this clearer but my focus of the theory was based on the stories of people on this forum (like in the link above and many others like it). Their stories are quite sad and I was starting to get mad at the fact that how much of jerks (to put it mildly) some people are. Even many of their friends and family picked on them for their weight. Perhaps I subconsciously “objectified” them so that I can analyze their stories without becoming too emotional.

Another reason for using the word “they” is that I never have been picked on like what they have experienced, and it may be misleading to use the word “we” as that may imply that I also suffered insults like they have.

The problem is that natural solutions cannot be patented so the drug industry will continue to work on the next "magic pill". I am hoping to lose the weight naturally and help others to do so, like many of the members of this forum are doing.
