This is the lamest reason for bringing it up, but I've been presently made aware that Kelly Osborne is calling Christina Aguilera a fat c-word because Christina used to call Kelly fat. Who gives a shit, outside of the fact that it's weird to me that someone who used to have weight problems is being a bitch. I'd expect her to have sympathy.

Then I just started thinking about all of the comment wars about weight on the internets and wanted to get some respectful, nonanonymous opinions about it.

I have been a bit chunky before. My weight tends to yo-yo a bit anyway, but always in the healthy range for my height. For a time there, I was not, though. And for me, personally it was something I did ultimately have control over. I was a very depressed person at the time so I had zero motivation, but it's pretty easy for me to tip the eaten calorie to burned calorie ratio in my favor.

That being said, I am pretty educated about food, compared to the normal person. I grew up in a home that cared about nutrition and how to eat right. So even when I was poor, I knew how to make nutritious meals for myself for relatively little. I also have had a car and access to grocery stores. Some people live in food deserts, meaning that the only source of food in their neighborhoods are convenience stores and fast food restaurants.

What is your experience with weight or your opinion about it?

I think it goes without saying, be respectful here, okay? Please? :)
