Judging others on anything is a slippery slope imo... no-one knows the mental battles someone else faces every day. Threads like this aren't exactly calling anyone specifically out, so in theory no real harm done. It's just a shame that people who are healthy, have no mental battles etc, feel they are somehow better than those who are fat/thin/depressed/addictive/whatever.

Be thankful you aren't like that, but to shit talk others because of the problems *they* face/go through is a bit meh, imo. It *is* a case of that person doing something about it, but at the same time it isn't... when you're in it, you can't see it, most (if not all) of the time.
