I'm here to try and provide some insight into something mass media often tries to ignore - the fatties.

We, shockingly, are people with lives, goals and aspirations. We have moments of joy, glory, failure, embarrassment, ambivalence. We are not just like everyone else, but we're pretty damn close.

If you've ever wondered what it's like for us obese folks... look no further.
