One more reason obese ppl suck.

oh come on...the government told me so! I'm 300 pounds! I have to be obese....unless I'm 10 feet tall!

 

and you still believe the goverment?

 

obesity by defintion : a BMI of 30.0kg/m2 (metres squared) or more. It's not something you get tricked into

that hole just keeps on getting deeper hon


I find that the model-beautiful types, generally speaking, act a lot more like "I'm as big as a planet so it's OK for me to act like I'm the only one on this one" than people who are overweight or obese. Because people will actually do what they say/want more often than they would for an obese person - the image of them being the only/best person on the planet is reinforced, not knocked down.

 

Lots of people, big, small, and in between, get shitty attitudes. I don't know if people are necessarily born fat or thin, but some are born pricks, for sure.

 

what's the difference between somone that has a mental disorder that causes them to over eat to a point where they're obese and somone who is genetically heavier? neither are 'their fault'.

 

I find large people (although very tall, solid people more than obese folks) are often more likely to be rude and ignorant of their surroundings than small people. They're far more likely not to watch where they're going, bump into me or other people, stand in the middle of the road or block a doorway with their bulk... Probably 'cause usually when they *do* bump into others they're the ones coming out unscathed while very small people have learned to watch where they're going or be trampled, and that has, consciously or unconsciously (I bet a lot of them have never thought about it) made them into pretty selfish & careless folks.

 

Nope, she's probably the reason you'd have to tie your food up in a tree!

I agree about the term "happy camper."

If you want to convey in no-nonsense terms that you are pissed off, you do not refer to yourself in any sentence that uses the goofball corny-ass term "happy camper." How can anyone take your complaint seriously if you use that stupid term?

Like, what if someone came to you and said, "I really need your help: I have a 'hum-dinger' of a problem to deal with and heads are gonna roll if I don't get assistance!"

It just reminds me of that sheriff lady in "Fargo." Cornball.

How about if you went to some metal-band concert and afterward your friend said, "That shit was wack, man! I have never been to such a FUCKIN' SWELL concert!" You'd look at him like, dude, what the fuck's up with you?!

yeah, i'm obese. fucking sucks.

(hunts down naykid so that i can step on his backpack.)

 

kiss my ass, fruitboy.

 

you'll be lucky if i don't just sit on you, end your misery.

 

i dont know what this has to do with anyone sucking ......but im getting a headache .......just thought you all should know ......and whats more im not one pound overweight , but my life is a fucking drudge of humiliation , slavery n the lack of quality fun ....at least as the next three months ....at that point im draggin some folks on a few short adventures .

 

no, i promise, it'll be short, quick, almost painless.

and shhhh on the not a bitch thing. frankly i always feel like a bitch. i EVERYTHING i wanted to say actually came out of my mouth....holy shit, i think madonna and mrs. clinton would die of shock.

 

well, good. i think you're one of the few people on here who really need a freaking vacation. you're almost crankier than me when i'm pms-ing.

 

lol. if i did, i wouldn't be strong....but to be honest, it's really my completely lack of understanding of social norms and behaviors that just kinda make me LOOK strong. well, and the fact that i used to be a weight lifter.

 

Are you so sure? How else would you explain a person tripling their weight in three months time? You'd have to do a helluva lot of eating and not moving in three months to accomplish a feat as great as that!

Shit! That sounds like me or any of my skinny friends on days when guys are being total idiots to us!

but...I love you anyway....if you like me too that is....despite my weight and obvious character flaws

 

so, bone structure and bone density play no part in it whatsoever? Going by weight alone (a 'heavier' person) is ridiculous, since muscles weigh more than fat. I've been going to the gym, but gaining weight - because I'm putting on muscle.

I know that because of my bone structure I will never wear a size 2 pair of pants. Not that that's a big issue for me, but... different standards for different people, n'est pas? I should never weigh less than 115lbs, in my opinion, unless I don't want to be able to stand on my own... anything less than that is unhealthy for my body type.

 

i did NOTHING wrong or un-natural to get so fat. i spent 8 months on strict bed rest when iwas pregnant. i couldn't get up to make anything to eat, and there was no one there to help me, so i lived on what i could have next to me in a cooler. which was a whole lotta water and veggies, some bread. some fruit, but fruit didn't set well when i was pregnant. we were broke because i couldn't work anymore, so junk food wasn't even an option. i got up to an APPALLING weight anyway. then, after having kai, i was breastfeeding. i stalled having my lingering blood pressure troubles treated so that i could breast feed. know what that means? it means walking limited distances is okay, lots of rest is better. you know how slowly you lose weight when you can't diet or exercise much?

you know what happens? fucking assholes making assumptions about why your fat and condemning you for it. it's sickening. it doesn't matter how many times you tell them you're pre-ecclamptic and have to lay on your left side, all they knowis you're not exercising and getting fat. shallow bastards. they still say "well, when i'm pregnant i'm walking every day and taking yoga." well whoopdy fucking do for you.

so, then, after all this mess, and weaning your daughter earlier than you want because you can't ignore your own health anymore, you start taking medicines for you blood pressure and agonizing headaches, as well as one for your nifty new set of anxiety attacks that keep you from being able to set foot outside your door without someone holding your hand. a nice little cocktail that turns you into a zombie. guess what? dieting doesn't help now, your fucking drugs are fucking you up even more. it takes you a while to understand that, because you're waiting for the effect to wear off. then you change meds. more fucking waiting, no fucking sleeping.

and here i am, nearly 3 years later, down at least 50 pounds. but it's going so slowly people don't fucking realize it's coming off. people start giving you shit about not doing enough to get back into shape. you're already fucking depressed because you've never beenso big, and getting it off is a total mystery to you because you've never had this much trouble before. and THEN people suddenly start going off on overweight people, a group you're squarely involved in. people are calling you un-natural, disgusting, unworthy. i say fuck that.

 

just to clarify, I have nothing against overweight people, its just this woman was so rude when the store does everything it can to accomodate them....does she expect them to clear the store of other customers before she comes in or something?

In my opinion, and I'm not a medical doctor, obese means you have trouble getting around because of your weight, anc I know its often not caused by the persons behavior.....

which brings me to my next story, an example of when it does.

Different grocery store, same mechanical cart thing....

I'm shopping and there is this super loud family, mom, daughter, and son...the son is just loud, the mom and daughter very large, the mom in the cart.

I have to pass them about 10 times through the aisles, and they are yelling at each other about things like ice cream being on sale, pancake mix, etc.

I look in the moms cart and it is absolutely filled with big things of sugar, 25 tv dinners, lots of dessert items, everything fattening in the store was represented in her cart. Kind of made me mad that not only was she like that, but she had raised her kids eating such a terrble diet, and hadn't changed it even when she and her daughter were obese....

I live in Ohio though, plenty of people actually don't know better here i guess.

and KC, you look good in all the pictures I've seen,

I catch shit for being too skinny, so i'm at the other end of the spectrum.

 

I couldnt have agreed with KC more..

Just because you have some meat on you doesnt mean you are unhealthy either. You can be healthy and overweight. I cant stand when people act like all overweight people are disgusting and blah blah blah, must be eating alot or doing something to themselves. And why does everyone have to be skinny. Personally, I like men, women with some weight on them. Since when does everyone have to be skinny though. I dont understand that at all. Maybe instead of insulting overweight people, people should look in the damn mirror at themselves cause my best bet, they are not a prize at all.
Remember Marilyn Monroe, how she was a size 14 or 16 (not to sure) and she was the biggest sex idol.. Now look what happened...
