• You are having, or are interested in having, weight loss surgery of any kind;
• You believe fat is a disease which must be cured;
• You want to post one comment and vanish forever;
• You like posting about your caloric intake, what you ate today, etc.;
• You run a diet blog;
• You think this is a dating site or want to pick up some "hot fat chicks";
• You think this site has anything to do with Old Navy and/or Mo'Nique.
