overweight hippies...

I've been feeling lately like all hippies have to be really thin, and I'm overweight, so it feels like I can't be a hippy...
I know this is stupid, but like I don't play sports, and I get outside quite a bit because I love nature. I spend a lot of my time playing music. I eat relatively healthily, so I don't think its a big problem, but I don't know...
I've been thinking I should lose some weight, maybe I'd look better and feel better...but most of how I feel is an image thing anyway...
What do you think? Can hippies be fat?

 

Yes.

But it isn't healthy. Start running - its what I did to quit smoking.

 

never seen a fat one would find it funny though and poke you with a stick if you didn't mind

 

Well, theres Jerry Garcia...he was a fat hippy...

 

Whoever said a hippy had to be thin? Be proud of who you are.

 

"hippies" can be fat...some people just cant help it.

i'd say, if you are happy with what shape you are and your not grossly unhealthy being fat, then you shouldnt bother losing weight if you dont want to, but if you would feel better about yourself losing weight, then i'd definitly concider doing that.

 

of course hippies can be fat. forget about the image of thin hippies...if you want to lose weight, do it for youself (to be healthier and maybe boost your self confidence) dont do it to fit an image

 

Shouldn't have to change yourself just so you can give yourself a title.

 

You're a tad on the chunky side but nothing obscene.

Weight loss will be healthier and probably help with self esteem....

 

ima have to loose a bit o' meat... and get fit again...

 

i should definitly start trying to get some muscles, even if its just a little. it'd help me out in my work

 

Just get a real job. Work construction for a couple months - better money and you get in good shape.

 

You known what I'm as fat and as hip as anyone. Hippie is a mind state not a style of dress or a body type.

I'm starting to run though. For health reasons but mostly for the just being the farg outside of it.

 

The advantage is that you can pull of a hawaain shirt without looking completely gay.

 

Hahaha




My job is fairly physical...and I work out 3 times a week so i'm not worried about weight

 

same here

 

i think im a bit over weight thers no way in hell i'd be running tho, i hate running

 

Ahh you learn to love it though. I do anyway... Logged a seven miler this morning.

 

take up a sport or something...


i was in good shape, but then every sport club at my school had the plug pulled on it, and i've just kinda, stoped...


but yeh, its good to find something you enjoy, makes it less of a chore.

 

im lucky.. i never do sports pretty much, i always sleep and bum around and do unhealthy things, but im skinny as a toothpick, im only 125lbs, used to be like 112 last month lol...

but i dont eat alot .. dunno why, i always eat salads and stuff, i was never a hungry kid .
