I feel that way about smokers and drunks....but I don't hate people that smoke and/or people that drink :)

Like I said, I know I can diet and spend hours working out and lose weight, but I'd rather eat what I enjoy, spend my time doing something I have fun doing, and again, my Dr. says I'm as healthy as they come :1orglaugh

As far as the handicapped parking places - did anyone stop to think that maybe these people are overweight BECAUSE they're handicapped? If they have a handicapped parking sticker//plate/placard, then let's assume their doctor knew what they were doing when they issued it :)

I live in a retirement community with about 1/3 of the cars with handicapped plates - there's STILL always SEVERAL spaces available every where I go. If you're handicapped and you can't park because someone w/o a sticker/plate/placard is parked there, call the non-emergency number for the police and have their car towed :1orglaugh In Atlanta, there's a group of handicapped people that are licensed to give out tickets to people misusing the spots - see if that's available where you live. :thumbsup

Sorry, that's simply not true. I'm "thin" because I eat healthy food and because I go to Gold's Gym every single day, including holidays. I USED to be overweight, so I feel I can talk about this freely. I lost the weight and I kept it off by maintaining the healthy lifestyle AFTER I lost the weight. That is the key.

The problem with most people is that they get on a strict diet, starve themselves, lose the weight and then quit everything. Surprise, suprise, they always gain the weight back. The trick is making a LIFESTYLE change! Not just going on some diet for a few months. You have to WANT to eat healthy, you HAVE to work out, and you have to commit to doing it for the rest of your life. Yes, of course I'd love to eat a Big Mac and super-size fries once in a while, but I'd prefer to keep my heart healthy so I refrain from eating like a pig.

Of course losing weight is hard, no one ever said it was easy. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. It's a choice. You either choose to eat a lot and not work out, or you choose to eat healthy food and work out. VERY few overweight people are overweight because of genetics. Like I said, I used to work at a weight loss center and I know this from first-hand experience.

Who the hell cares what this pole smoker likes or hates?

why are you always sniffing us then?

Dude...that is some serious shit! Damn..865lbs...that's almost like dead lifting Shaq...3x his body weight...

But...really..you're not fat...you're muscular...there is a difference...

PS: Have you tried out for the Olympics?
(tekart makes mental note to himself to never say anything derogatory to letshunt in fear of being pushed through wall!)

I BEG TO DIFFER..I'm sitting here watching "Monday Night Football" and I see the majority of these players are not your typical "Ripped" athletes....and I cant' see any other sport that is as physical as American Football (WITH ONE exception being Rugby) where the athletes are outright ripped...like they are in bodybuilding...So I'm gonna have to say that being athletic is not a prime indication of being in shape.

Never said you weren't entitled. However, since you don't think fat women can be attractive, I merely meant that your particular opinion won't hold as much weight (no pun intended) with me as that of someone who likes BBWs. It's all good, the world would be a boring place if everyone thought exactly the same way.

if u dont like fat people I guess u dont like my 'phat' traffic!!:321GFY :glugglug

Unfortunately, I'm pretty much stuck with my pool workouts. :( I can't do aerobic exercise on dry land (unless it's a rowing machine or bike) because of my joints. Even walking too much tends to land me in a fucking world of hurt -- but I can run the ass off skinnier women in the water. My blood pressure is spot-on perfect, and I have excellent cardio endurance.

My workout regimen in the summer is an hour of running in water up to my shoulders, at a good solid pace of about 7mph. (The water resistance has absolutely carved out some great calf and thigh muscles.) I also lift weights and do cardio three times a week for about an hour a time in the gym. I've had skinny friends try to join me in the pool and keep up with me, and give up long before I'm done. :1orglaugh I've knocked my weight down about 40lbs or so this way, but what I really care about is the physical therapy aspect of the workout. Being able to move with less pain and be more flexible is a wonderful thing.

In fact, DEFINITELY not. I believe in the full rights of everyone. People with disability did not choose to have that disability, they are human beings and deserve just as much of our respect as anyone else. This includes other minorities such as the gay community or different races. I am not racist nor facist in anyways.

However, when it comes to obesity, people CAN do something about it in 99% of cases. If you want to rant about that gene stuff, go for it, but when you look at the figures (which I have done), it is in an extremely low number of people who are severely affected.

To be politically correct, it's a person with a disability or people with disability. The reason being it's merely an attribute of a person not the person themselves.

And this is a load of bs. That's what people who get picked on say to make themselves feel better. I wouldn't consider myself insecure by any stretch of the imagination. Hey some days I feel bad cause my hair looks awful or something =P

If half of you had read my follow up post, you would have realised my ammendment. I don't mind fat people so much as long as they can admit they don't look good and that they're fat and that they're not beautiful.

Fat people who go around thinking they're beautiful, with the whole attitude and then SUEING companies because they're not getting employed on a job that is obviously based on image, are scum.

If you want to be fat go right ahead, but don't consider yourself beautiful. If you want to do something about it, good stuff, eat right and go to the gym and you'll look better in no time.

thatdykeliz please don't ever let anyone tell you what you should or should not look like.You are a very beautiful inside and out :)

I know it's very hard to not listent o what ppl say about you but you have to..and you're doing that very well :thumbsup

In high school I was made fun of for somethings,and I really let it get to me. I know I shouldn't have but I did...being picked on isn't fun or easy. They way you treat someone can have a MAJOR impact on their life.

Good for you that you don't let the ignorance get inside you :)

You probably could be cute.. why not go to the gym and tone up your body and make yourself look better? I don't understand.

Because she's not here to make YOU think she's cute :winkwink: As long as SHE can look in the mirror and be happy, that's all that counts. If you said "People with brown eyes are ugly - you can get blue contacts - why not do that and make yourself look better?" it wouldn't make any more sense than what you're saying about OTHER PEOPLE'S weight :)

I've been fat, I've been thin - I'm happier fat than thin - just like YOU'RE happier thin than fat - it ain't that hard a concept......:1orglaugh

There's a reason some men pay money for BBW sites - it's cuz they think we're cute :thumbsup

Now see, here enters the debate in the whole beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Think about this.

You walk up to any young girl and go "hey what do you think of Josh Hartnett?" .. you're going to get 98% of them saying "WOW HE'S LIKE THE HOTTEST GUY ON THE EARTH OMG!" - right?

Opinions on looks vary, but only around fact. Josh Hartnett IS really good looking because the majority of girls view him as being that.

When it comes to obesity, you'll find the majority of people view them as UGLY, ok? Therefore it is fair to say they ARE ugly.

If you want to attract the opposite sex (or the same sex, whatever floats your boat) then you want to look good as per the general consensus of people. If you just want to feel good about yourself, then go stand in a mirror and say I am beautiful until you feel good about yourself.

There IS a difference between someone saying "brown eyes are ugly" and "fat is ugly". The reason is, the latter is accepted by the general population (why don't we see grossly overweight people on the cover of Girlfriend magazines?) and the former is far from accepted as being so by the general population.

You know so very little...
Go make your first $100 and come back in a few month...

You sound like Hitler when he said the following about jews:
I HATE THEM. WITH A PASSION. I DESPISE THEM.

If you had a fat child, would you think they were ugly? How about a child with Down's Syndrome - would you consider THAT ugly? I would HOPE you'd love your child no matter what - because of what's INSIDE :)

You ARE aware, aren't you that it's only been fairly recently in history that "thin" people were thought of as anything but sickly, poor, and, in your words "ugly"? :winkwink:

If I had a fat child, I'd be making sure he/she would play lots of sport and went to the gym when of age.

The bs about thin girls being ugly is a joke. Violently thin girls perhaps, but the day I see a blimp on the cover of any teen girl magazine, I'll eat my ... my ... tv.

actually thats BS. identical twins weights vary based on what they eat and how much they exercise if one doesn't exercise and eats shit he's going to be large - if the other guy exercises and whatnot he's going to be trim.. maybe you should look into some studies on the subject and not "stories".

Agreed. One of my best friends is an identical twin. She is thin and in great shape, but her twin sister is about 50 pounds overweight. The difference between the 2 girls....one goes to the gym and eats healthy and the other doesn't. And no, their personalities are not identical either. The only thing identical about them is their DNA.

Ummm, actually the correct spelling is Pharaoh, not Pharoh :) Too funny.

I havn't got much of a choice have I ? Some of them fuckin stink

It's sad this fool wanted attention and we all gave it to him. lol Once again to me unless you have been 100+ pound overweight who the fuck are you to judge.

I cannot believe all these posts of people giving their "histories".
Who the fuck is this idiot,, and why do you care what he thinks?

"he who lives in a glass house shouldnt throw stones"

Somebody translate that for him, I doubt he understands....:evil-laug :moon :boid

I have to have been fat to realise that I hate fat people? Uhm, I don't think so. The day I get fat ... will be the day I put a bullet to my head. It will never happen.

Hon, have you not read the stuff I've posted in this thread about being as physically active as I'm able to be? As I sit here posting this, I'm waiting for pain meds to kick in so that I can hold a brush to fix my daughter's hair, and I have a heating pad turned up to High on my knee, which feels like someone took to it with a fucking sledgehammer.

And despite all that, I already do go to the goddamn gym, and eat a 2200 cal a day diet, and you know what? My weight hovers at around 230lbs, no matter what. I have visible muscle in my legs and arms, and right now I can bench about 60lbs, which may not be much, but it's more than my hubby, who doesn't lift weights.

I don't know why I'm even bothering to say all this. Props to the guy who wondered why we were all laying out our histories and justifying ourselves to you -- you aren't ever going to change your mind, and I'm just pissing myself off explaining that the facts of some people's lives may differ from what you perceive them to be.

Whatever. I have better things to do today than mess with this shit -- like do a photo shoot meant for people who like BBWs and think I'm damn cute already, without the gym-rat, skinny body.

Peace, have a nice life, etc. I'm done arguing, sweetie.

Thankfully my stories regarding the twins have come from my brother who's doing his post doctorate in genetics :winkwink:

CC - like anything else there will always be exceptions. I'm talking about the scientific statistics :)

I'm healthy, I'm happy and I'm surrounded by people that love me and don't judge on looks - that's all I really need in life :thumbsup

The Facts are as Follows:
2 out of 10 slim chicks take it up the ass!
10 out of 10 fat chicks take it up the ass!
As i said, people get fat coz they like a cock up their ass!:Kissmy

Oh my, just saw this! Wow - if your entire life is based on what you look like, then you either have a lot of growing up to do, or you're going to be miserable and make everyone around you miserable :( What if you're in an accident and can't excercise? What if you have to take medications that make you gain weight? What if this happens to someone you "love"?

To have a number on the scales mean so much to you that you'd kill yourself if you're fat........that's really sad :(

QUOTE]And freeadultcontent I whole heartedly agree with you, my grandfather is in a wheel chair has been for 15 years now... and his advice would be "invest in an ice pick and make the fat fucks walk to the bus stop"[/QUOTE]

Hehe, well you would be surprised what a wheelchair axel can do to a paint job, and still be purely ummm accidently yeah thats it.

No I did not think that. Interesting idea, overweight due to being handicapped hmmm.... Kinda like a chicken and the egg huh. Now if that were only true. It would be kinda hard for a crippleing diesease to cause someone to become fat. Sure ya may blow a knee which would cause you not to walk much, which would be less excerise. Yet no Doctor would say "hey what you need to do is gain an extra 200 pounds and that will fix that knee right up". It is nearly always the other way around. If it wasnt then well there wouldnt be that many fat people using placards.


No lets assume their doctor didnt want to be sued under a dissabilities act law for not issueing it, since that is the primary reason. Belive me I asked my Doctor and that was his flat answer why he gives them to fat people.

I would guess the reason you see that is you are not looking for a space. It is a little different when you actually need something, compaired to when you dont need it.

Well in this lovely little state, the police must be called by the leasor or owner of the parking lot. Now true they still will respond, yet who in the hell has the time to wait an hour or more for a cop to show up, and do you really think the person who is parking there will wait without being illegally detained? Not to mention I am not about to waste the time or the police to give a damn parking ticket. About the only thing I could do is, pass a simular law so fellow gimps could give out tickets, or sit around and record people on camera and turn the shit in to the police. Again a waste of time.

I wish him luck flipping burgers.
they obviously have the same genetic programming for body shape - and a pair of twins that live thier own lives and each eat average amounts and do the average amounts of exercise are going to be similar - but it's because it's what they eat and how much they exercise that counts... they can both have mesomorph genetic templates but if one diets and exercises she'll be skinny.. if one sits around all day eating crap they'll be fat.. nothing genetic to it.

Two sides of this issue.. and I am torn. In the aerobics instructor case, she was capable of doing the job, so she should have gotten the job.

BUT!

I hate it that people sue to get jobs and such. Life sucks, deal with it. I sued over every job I didn't get when I was younger I would be in litigation into the next millenium.

AND!

I absolutely am against people being forced to hire/not hire people. If it is my business, I feel that I should be able to hire/fire at my whim and for my reasons, FUCK everyone else!

BUT

Fat chicks still rock...

Some more interesting facts:
10 out of 10 flies eat shit !
10 out of 10 fat chicks like a cock shoved up their shit hole !
So, whats the connection here?
