But then I figure that someone with 100 pounds to lose feels the same way about me complaining about my 40lbs.

Although I do have a problem with the whole skinny=beauty culture that we live in, I can't blame people for wanting to lose weight, and good for those who catch their weight issue early - and I well know how easily 40lbs overweight can become 200lbs overweight.
My main issue comes when the person with not a lot of weight to lose calls themselves gross, disgusting, huge, full of blubber etc etc I think they should get a grip on reality, they could have a real weight problem - like me.
Also I've reserved all of those derogatory terms for myself
