Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Hi There,
My name is Mike Thein, AND IM FAT. Sounds like Im in FA (Fatties Anonymous) or something. As a physician (Im a Psychiatrist), I understand very well what my obesity is doing to me. Like many obese people, I will likely continue the battle of the bulge all of my life. You know, lose some and then gain some. Like most of you reading this, I have spent my life losing and gaining much more weight than I actually weigh now. Can any of you relate to this constant, endless source of emotional torture? Why do we do this to ourselves? Because society tells us endlessly that thin is in, that we are far more attractive as thin people. Medical science tells us that our obesity will kill us. First off, beauty IS in the eye of the beholder, AND not to be morbid, but life itself is a terminal illness. We are all born to eventually die; its just a matter of when. Anyone with half a brain knows that OBESITY is a MEDICAL DISEASE that is TRANSMITTED GENETICALLY through families. Yet all of the skinnies out there are either thinking it or just flat out telling us that were weak or lack willpower. Others think or say far worse (DUMB, UGLY, DISGUSTING, you name it), and WE BUY IT! We actually let the pretty people culture influence our self esteem, our sense of who we are, in a very big (pardon the pun) way! Well, Im here to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Ive got news for all of the skinnies out there; WE RULE! 60% of America is obese. Just let a skinny say some of that stuff to my face! Ill butt-ram em, and theyll be sorry after they fall and break their skinny little hip or something. Now dont get me wrong, Im not advocating violence. Im a peaceful man. Im just FED UP WITH THE SKINNIES! This is MY LIFE, and I just so happen to be an extremely worthwhile person, thank you very much, and I KNOW the same is true about YOU!
So LETS FIGHT BACK! I desperately need your help. We are creating a one-of-a-kind online store JUST FOR US! We call it a CO-OP ECOMMERCE COMMUNITY, and it's truly unique. This has never been done before. This will be the first-ever Ecommerce site designed exclusively by its online community members for their own use. My vision is a one stop shop MEGAMALL for the large person. I really NEED YOU ALL to give me a lot of input to create a place that will truly be our own. Sorry, NO SKINNIES ALLOWED! It will be a unique site with products and services determined not by the owner, but BY YOU. Every product or service on the site will be voted on by OUR COMMUNITY on an ongoing basis so that we have a site that remains relevant and useful for us. I envision an active online chat community, as well as links to dating sites just for us. The number of products over time will only be limited by our own imagination. We can phase in one product type at a time, which will naturally be determined by OUR COMMUNITY by vote. This new website can be found at http://www.BIGPEOPLESTORE.com. I look forward to meeting you all there. This is gonna be fun!

in your profession you must know that even the thin people have a poor self imaige as well. and they tend to say the same horrible about them selfs.
but i do agree that it is a medical problem, as well as a psychological one.
Someone is here to sell his/her products indirectly.
