ANYONE who charges money for a cure that cannot be proven to do any good at all is defrauding people . Period . If you charge money for a therapy that can ' t be demonstrated to help others , you are cheating people . Even if you mean well . <| sep |> Yup , part of the measures they took to keep the Beast Tribes and their marauding Gods from coming to give them heck ! <| sep |> I get what you ' re saying . The reason I became what would be considered morbidly obese was a bit different than most so maybe I don ' t have the same level of insider understanding . I mean yes , I am this way currently because of my own choices . But I was born with a skin disease that led to me having skin graphs every single year until I was 18 . Meaning , I couldn ' t go outside due to exposure to the sun , I couldn ' t be active with the other kids because most of my scars were on back so I couldn ' t take the risk of being hit or causing serious damage . Sports were totally out of the question . There were months I wasn ' t allowed to move or had to recover from surgeries laying on my stomach . Since I wasn ' t able to be a normal child my parents fed me . Whatever I wanted , especially on the months I was in the hospital . It was the only source of enjoyment they could offer during those times . They are naturally thin , healthy people , so I don ' t think they realized the damage they were doing in the long run . Now as a conscious adult I am literally learning to eat again . I love cooking and pride myself in the healthy quality food I make . Low carb , clean , and mostly vegetarian . Also , learning to be an active person , something I ' ve never been able to be before . Moving to Chicago from a small West Virginia town helped too . So when people see me as just some fat girl who got there by the typical I ' m lazy and eat a lot it ' s so much more complicated . It took me years to do that much damage to my body , and it ' ll take me years to repair . It ' s a lot of work but I ' m aware there are no short cuts and no one else is going to do it for me .
