Being proud of being fat

[KrazyHorse]

It's not healthy to carry around 30% of your body as dead weight. It strains your muscles, it strains your cirulatory and respiratory systems, it strains your joints.

It's good for a fat person to be active etc. Makes up for a lot. But if they were active and thin they'd be a hell of a lot better off.

YOU HATE FAT PEOPLE BASTARD

[KrazyHorse]

I hate fat women. I love fat men. Less competition.

I'm the only goddamn grad student in the department who doesn't have some sort of a gut (except for the Chinese kids; they tend to be fairly fit).

Even the thin ones here seem to bulge out over their waistbands...

You can't get rid of the goddamn thing.

Oh, and STOP HATING ME BECAUSE I AM FAT.

I can't decide what's worse, these idiots who think that being fat is something to be proud of, or all the goddamn Atkins crap everywhere.

So, you don't like people liking to be fat and you don't like fat people being able to get thin. What's your solution, shoot us?

That's a smart comment, che.

Reminds me of something I read on the Onion
A note for lazy readers: read the last paragraph, that's the funny part!

CHICAGO, IL. In spite of billions of dollars spent and decades of research, scientists at the University of Chicago said Monday that the scientific community is no closer to finding a cure for the potentially fatal disease of obesity.

"The obesity epidemic in this country has public-health authorities panicking, and with good reason," said Dr. Seong-Hun Kim, a research associate at the university's department of neurobiology, pharmacology, and physiology. "According to the latest government statistics, 30.6 percent of the adult population and 16.5 percent of children under 19 are obese. As researchers, we feel the same sort of helplessness that many victims of obesity feel."

"Basically, the clock continues to tick as we search for that golden key that will give every American a chance at a healthy, normal life," Kim added.

Many obesity sufferers have expressed frustration over the medical community's inability to cure them.

"I came down with obesity two years after I got married," 41-year-old Oklahoma City resident Fran Torley said. "I know it was hard for my husband to watch me suffer from this disease. When he caught obesity a year later, he got so depressed, he couldn't do anything but sit on the couch. Some days, we sit and watch television from dawn till dusk, hoping for news of a breakthrough."

And, by the way, I have the utmost respect for people who are fat but who are working on getting fit.

Just like I respect people quitting smoking or drinking after being substance abusers...

I'm hoping to break 250 this week, going down obviously.

Good luck. Do you mind if I ask what you started at and your height?

What's the point? Once you catch obesity, you're screwed. It's like herpes, there's no cure...

I'm just a hair under 6'0" (5'11.75") and I started at 277. I platued in February (started cheating a lot) and I haven't been able to break 251 since then, bouncing up and down. But I've been sticking to the diet and I was 250.8 today, and I haven't eaten that much. We'll see tomorrow morning.

Don't want Type II diebetes, which kinda runs in my family.
