Preach it, Sister!
I don't have an issue with fat people. I have an issue with naturally skinny, or otherwise "healthy," people that let themselves become fat. It's a complete waste of a good person.
The thing I hate is that being fat in America is now on par with being called ugly. When in reality, being fat should be a bad thing for your health. It has nothing to do with your looks.
So basically, fat people are a waste and not worth knowing? Since, I know, very few people start off as fat.
Everyone has their own opinion and are certainly en led to it, but in my tenure so far on this earth...I've found that nutless assholes with big ing mouths are far more torturous to be around (and that was a generic use of "nutless asshole"
Why, are you bored and looking to insult someone?
Not at all.....I just thought it was a funny question in a random kind of way. If it were, half of the little bas s around here would be banned.
You misunderstood me totally. Nevermind.
I mean the ones that gorge on McDonald's all day then complain when they have medical (or relational) issues as a result. Why let yourself go like that when you could lead a much longer, productive, and otherwise better life by simply being active and actually caring about yourself.So basically, fat people are a waste and not worth knowing? Since, I know, very few people start off as fat.
I guess some people are just naturally sedentary- which I understand to an extent- but with the modern understanding of nutrition, and what and how to eat, it's ridiculous that anyone would choosingly let themselves go like that.
The 1,200 lbs guy in question is obviously, naturally big, but why the would he make the situation worse, and ultimately become a heavy burden (pun intended) on his family and everyone who cares about him? It is selfish and damn near childish.
Part of the problem is....once this person gets to be about 6-700 pounds, his family has to be assisting him the rest of the way to 1200. It's pretty hard to eat anything at all when you can't move, they have to be bringing it to them. It's awful.
I have no sympathy for that guy either Samr.
My uncle was a whopping 700lbs 3 years ago. He decided to stop making excuses for himself and lose the weight. He is 250lbs now, and we run every weekend. He is awesome at basketball now after he desired to learn how to play so we did. And he has a wife now, and basically a life outside of the computer and bar he used to live in.
There just is no excuse. Especially when the people that has been there and back admit that.
But my point in page one was, just stop acting like it's okay to be fat and do something about it. If you can't take the rude comments, (not that i think calling people names is right), then just do something about it. There, is, no, excuse, ever. "Ohh I had it rough growing up, ohh food is my release when I'm depressed, ohhh bull ." That's like killing a man cause you were depressed. That makes it right? No.
It takes hard work and a committment, and I worked with my uncle for a long time and he had many setbacks. I actually took a twinky from his hands and ran it in his face calling him a fatass, "are you tired of this Dave? huh fatass? isnt this getting old?", although I had to get harsh, it worked. And he thanked me for being bold. He knew I loved him cause he's my family and I'd kill for him. But sometimes that's what it takes to motivate someone.
Never said it was RIGHT, like S y replied to me as if I was saying that.
Just get off your asses and do it! You need to be pushed and pushed! What's funny is deep inside they know they can, it's just about carrying it out. And putting locks on the fridge.
How so?
How is someone supposed to be content with themselves when there are so many big mouthed es out there who feel somehow it's their place to remind them how revolting they are? They actually do a lot more harm than good in pointing that person in the right direction...and what's worse, think they are funny. Or they are just downright ing mean.I'm not trying to offend anyone. I'm just speaking the truth. Be content with who you are, and if you take offense to being called fat, then, lose weight if it bothers you that much. Sorta like if you're called stupid, and take offense to it, does that mean you really are stupid? Not always, but still, people let bother them so easily. There's no excuse.
I understand you, and agree to an extent....but it still does not give people a right to insult anyone in the first place. And why do you say "there's no excuse" for people getting their feelings hurt? There are varying levels of skin thickness, expecting everyone's to be as thick as yours apparently is is completely unrealistic and arrogant. Just STFU and mind *your* (generic your) own business and don't offer your opinion about something so personal unless you're asked for it. I don't know why people have such a difficult time grasping that concept.
And I make an exception to this .... those 3-400lb women in clothes that were barely made for women 1/2 their size. They are blatantly asking for it and are therefore open game.
w t f ?
How so? Try READING IT.
Stop assuming and making your own conclusions. That's 2 women now who seem to be reading what they think and not what they see.
I said there's no excuse not to lose the weight. ..... not to be made fun of.
Wow, I'm done with this thread.
ps- Thanks for making me look like a bad guy when the sum of what I said was there's no excuse to not lose weight, get motivated, and do it. The ing end.
Moral of the story: if you are flawed in anyway and don't have skin as thick as an elephant, don't dare go to a GTG and enjoy the company of your friends because there are always pictures, and there will always be someone to say something mean and/or tactless. Not like that doesn't happen every where, but it used to not be so rampant in this forum.
Good God. You keep taking me literally. Like, do you even get the point behind my words? Seriously, you need to stop and realize my point. You sound like my mom.
@ this thread, keep it going!!!
I understand what Brutalis is saying, and I agree with him...and it carries over to many other situations...
He said that if you are fat, you should be motivated to lose weight.
How it relates to other situations??? If people call you a and push you around, you lift weights, get stronger. If you're on any sports team but never play, you work harder to get better. You can make any example.
Basically, no excuses, work hard to improve yourself. If you don't want to, then that's a different story.
So what are you talking about???
Most of the jokes about the GTG photos, are simply jokes...and if they aren't, maybe that person previously insulted the person who insulted them.
the real moral of the story is people use the internet and the club specifically to talk about other peoples problems to feel better about their own
example
a crackhead on crack is worse than a person addicted to pain meds
a 1200 lb man is bigger than anyone we would know in real life
a mom who hires a stripper for her kids is worse than one who works 60 hrs a week
thats the way the internets will always work
"You are stupid/ugly/fat/have bad acne/ugly hair/too skinny/bad teeth but I like you anyway....even though I don't know you, or your personal situation, I have this self-imposed moral responsibility to tell you that there is no excuse for you being stupid/ugly/fat/having bad acne/ugly hair/too skinny/bad teeth as if you are not well aware of such flaws."
Am I close?
I guess the problem lies in the fact that in this forum we have a private area where quite a few "people in this forum" are trying to lose weight and post daily their struggles and their successes or failures and we try to encourage each other the best that we can...and it seriously pisses me off when people make such rude comments when a lot of the people they are referring to are trying so hard to succeed. Maybe it shouldn't...but a few "people in this forum" are my friends and it does. It's not that ing easy, but apparently it is so easy to assume that because someone got into a bad situation, they aren't already trying to do something to correct it. And some aren't...and that's a shame because they are only hurting themselves. But that still doesn't make it my business to judge them.
That's why I strongly feel that it's always better to just keep your ing mouth shut and spend your energy doing good things for yourself, because you can assume...but unless you know the whole situation, you aren't going to look like anything but an asshole.

You go, girl.
I'm confused.
I've always been proud of my extra lbs:
She was off for the 2nd time so just give it up.
