Age 16, male, 6’3”, 341 lbs - I definitely agree with this. My whole family is extremely obese (my dad is well over 500 pounds, and my older brother is pushing 400 at least), and it’s really hard to lose weight and cut down on food when the fridge is always stocked with frozen pizzas and junk food and we always eat fast food for dinner. Their overeating has definitely encouraged me to eat more, so I’m pretty obese myself now. My friends are all pretty obese too - my entire friend group ranges from just over weight to really obese (I’m not even the biggest one!), and we go out to eat after school every day. If they were skinnier, it would definitely encourage me to lose weight more. - An obese friend or sibling has caused me to gain weight.

Age oeb72igua0, female, w5KOpZelD0T, NQMsvLTYHjf kgs - Jim, I've been researching a fairly obscure story involving Secret Service agents in the 1870s, and sources are thin. Then I found a nonfiction book written by Secret Service agents in the mid-1900s, using office records, old handwritten files, etc. Sounds perfect, and it almost is, but then these quotes sneak in where an agent will say "Hmpf!" while "shaking his head inuo.dulrcslye" To me, it makes the book much less interesting, cause now I know they're making stuff up... - An obese friend or sibling has caused me to gain weight.
