LOL! I am FAR from perfect..that’s why I can say what I am saying. I know what it’s like to have a weight problem, so I work VERY VERY hard to keep fit and trim. Any overweight woman who tells you they love their body is LYING. I have been on all side of vices...I have been fat and thin...thin is better. I have been drunk and I have been sober..Sober is better.

And yes, it is hard. There is nothing wrong with calling vice out and making people ashamed of their lack of self-control. WHATEVER the vice is. Shame is what keeps you from making mistakes over and over again. A compassionate society would understand that. We used to. But somewhere along the way we told people that they had diseases and they shouldn’t be ashamed of their lack of self-control. Are we a better society all around for that? NO.

All of the great societies died when their people gave into their vices...and we’re on that road.

So have I. I've found that being drunk is better. People like you are very hard to take while sober.
