Diet and mental health

This post saddens me. That someone would consider another person who they do not even know disgusting for those reasons is a reflection on you not them.

 

Sorry, but I pass judgment on people who are so fat they need to use a motorized cart which is filled with junk food... esp. when I know that I am going to be paying for their medical treatment (if I'm not already).

 

True that.

 

What pisses me off about some of these fatsos who use the motorized grocery carts is that they ride them out to their car in the parking lot, then leave them there so one of the store employees have to ride them back into the store. Obviously these people needed to walk into the store to get on one of these carts in the first place, but they're too fat and lazy to ride the cart back into the store when they're done using it. I just don't have respect for people like that. It's one thing to be sick and fat, but quite another to be so fucking lazy that you only consider yourself.

 

You're such a kind person. I love your posts.

 

Ya thats pretty inconsiderate of them.

 

I have to say PR, pretty impressive that you went from a blimp to a pimp the way you did. I mean you really know what you're talking about in terms of nutrition. Something a lot of people are so lazy about, and its so important!

 

I kind of have to agree with him on this one, an ageing population and a fattening population, Universal healthcare or not, it puts an increasing strain on the healthcare system, which is going to translate to strains emergency rooms and resources for everyone else, especially kids.

More money spent on fat bastards is going to translate to less money spent on kids, and more kids dying as a result of a lack of resources

Why is it we can get stuck into people that smoke, but not those that eat too much sugar. Sugar is the big one, its worse than tobacco.

Fat bastards kill kids

 

When I go into threads to read things and continually see you starting problems with people it gets a little old. It seems like all of the shit stirring is done by the same person around here lately. I shouldn't have to hit ignore. We're all adults. We should be able to have adult conversations without someone continually picking it apart and causing problems just to cause problems.

 

Thanks, beautiful.

 

What do you have to add about nutrition because the only the I see you doing here is attempting to mod and police me.

The only people who continually have problems with me are right here. And its because you're constantly telling me to shut up or go elsewhere. Stop worrying about what I'm doing and focus on yourself there honey.

If you don't like what you're reading then put me on ignore. You're new here, so you're probably not aware that your BFF has had run ins with quite a few people- who have all messaged me to let me know. You decided to jump on that band wagon and you self admitted that you find me annoying. Since you do, you can ignore me But thats not going to stop me from stating my opinion, ever.

 

Can't we all just get along?

 

We can try, lets get back to nutrition.

I bought coconut oil… so many uses

 

Thank you Mama.

You have been and were in the position of being overweight and you have really managed to change your life and lifestyle and that is an accomplishment that you should be proud of.


I am sure that the opinion of others had very little influence other than being hurtful in helping you to achieve that goal. People who need to loose weight do not need anyone's judgement, they live with their own.

Reformers of any kind tend to be the most biased and often cruel. I am pleased for you that you now have a healthy diet and lifestyle but that does not make you a better person than those who do not.

Rather simplistic when viewing what is wrong with the health system and why it is over taxed. Perhaps the upside then to your stance is that being so over weight will likely shorten their lifespan and therefore they will not collect social security and save a fortune on payout. Maybe that offsets a little of the cost for those who lead such exemplary healthy lifestyles that they will never need health care.

Since I know of very few people who lead such exemplary lifestyles that they are not above being unfortunate enough to perhaps become very ill at some point in life, I support that health care is for all no matter what caused the illness.

 

Heat, while I appreciate the sentiment and intention of your post, I'd like to point out the psychological response system. Coddling doesn't always reinforce the result you hope to achieve. Sometimes people actually do need a fire lit under their asses.

 

To belittle someone or to shame someone produces no results. To look down your nose at another person produces no results.

To educate, support and at times to simply allow a person the right to come to a conclusion on their own does produce results.

There is a difference between coddling and acceptance.

We are responsible for ourselves and in the end that is who we have control over, no one else.

 

Pressed Rat didn't belittle, shame anyone, or look down on anyone either. He said why he thinks they are inconsiderate, irresponsible, and obese. Thats not looking down on a person, unless, perhaps you think those characteristics make someone less of a person.

I'm aware of what acceptance means. It means you consent, or condone what is being offered. I reject the notion that obesity is ok.

 

We best agree then to differ.

 

I'm going to step in with my opinion on the current discussion. I used to be really fat. Like really really fat. No one ever talked down to me or treated me badly. People loved me regardless of my appearance. I always had friends. I always had boyfriends. I always had all the love and support in the world when I tried yet another fad diet that yielded temporary results. I hated myself and the way I looked though. No one had to tell me I was obese, I was well aware of it.

It wasn't until I learned to love myself as much as everyone else loved me, that I realized I had to make a change. I don't know how much weight I lost, because I was always too ashamed to weigh myself. I'm still not thin now, nor do I strive to be. I'm happy knowing I'm WAY better off now than I was before, and most importantly that I'm healthy.

The second pic was shortly after I had my second child, so I still had quite the "mommy tummy."
