Being proud of being fat

Good job on the loss so far

Good luck on further progress too.

I know I'm lucky to never have had to worry about my weight. I don't know whether it's acquired or genetic, but I tend to get full very quickly and go long stretches without eating or feeling hungry.

I'm also worried about adult-onset diabetes (all four of my mother's brothers have/had it)

Before you ask, the one that had it died about 7-8 years ago...

They are all very large men. Close to (or more than) 300 lbs each.

I'd hoped to inherit my father's metabolism, and while I was young, everyone thought I had. I could put away food like it was going out of style. Alas, I inherited my mother's metabolism, and started gaining weight when I hit 21. The last fifty were the worst. That's when all sorts of nasty things ame along, like my asthma got worse, my snoring got worse, my joints started hurting, and of course, most embaressingly of all, man boobs.

I really can't stand it anymore. My weight loss, however, is noticable already, so I'm kinda happy about that. I've had to cinch in my belts and my watch.

I worry about diabetes as well.

I just recently lost 50 pounds. I am very light now. 135 pounds. I still worry about adult diabetes. I still don't excersize very much. I hate excersize. Except for hiking every now and then.

I do get a lot of walking done at work. I burn a ton of calories at work. But I don't get much of an aerobic workout.

I like playing sports for exercise (racquetball especially).

I also like running (I've finally gotten back into running regularly)

I generally run 2-3 miles every second day. My times are starting to get more respectable (still above 20 on the goddamn 3 miles though)

Why the self loathing, PA?

He's having problems with his mental floss- it's not getting rid of enough of the lard between his ears.

I'm on the fat side and I don't give a **** what people think. I like beer more than I like being buff. I could do with losing a few pounds, but I don't see any point in wanting to be a Baywatch extra.

Case closed.

You are ****ting me, right?

At my worst beer blasting self I would have been about 250-255, right now I'm just under 240 and I think I ought to lose another ten to fifteen. I'm 6'2'' and have normal cholesterol levels.

Diss, you really need to eat more.

That would be any rational non-racist human being.

I checked out my ideal weight v height and it says 85kgs. Who the hell are they kidding. 95 sounds more like me (I'm just big: like a lot of NZers I tend to be quite a bit bigger in frame than most other Torontonians - I used to sell clothes back in NZ and our sizes go quite a way past the norm here). I could do with losing about 10 kgs.

NZs are lazy and worthless. doesnt the media and ADVERTISING industry tell you anything?

Agathon fails on at least one count, then.
