This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Shaming and insulting people makes them more overweight.

You can read about it here, for example, if that isn't too complicated for you:

Do you want people to be overweight because otherwise you wouldn't get a pass looking down on them? Perhaps you should look for a therapist.

I have one because I have disordered eating actually, and needed to stop killing myself with food.

Oh gee, all that and nowhere does it say that an insult equals 3,500 calories! It's the words that make you fat! I should have known. /eyeroll

Trying the pitty party now? Being miserable doesn't excuse you to try and make others feel miserable.

Oh, I'm happy- because I'm not obese anymore. Will still point out other's fat logic.
