Hot chick dons fat suit for Lifetime movie

Wow, Is BGDC taking on the whole room? He is right that most people are fat cause they won't do anything about it. I saw someone post that no one wakes up and says i want to be fat..true.. but a lot of people think I'm tired of being fat and do nothing about it.

Nick if 8-10 miles isn't enough then do 12 miles or do the eliptical instead at a high resistance..it burns more calories.

Of course loosing weight is harder then quitting smoking or drinking..1st you need to eat and no one needs to smoke or drink...2nd quitting those 2 things is just having enough self control...loosing weight requires self control and not being lazy.

Montromart -

Fine. I'm closeminded. It's all good with me - save for having to put up with fat people on flights.

Ya ever been outside this country? Go live in Asia or Europe for awhile and then come back to the USA. The moment you get off a plane at JFK, Dulles, DFW, Ohare you'll know straight away you're in the USA - the BMI just shot way the hell up instantly.

Ask yourself why EVERY other nation is thinner than the USA? Then blame genetics. lol

Check the last sentence in the second paragraph. I clarified things a bit more.

Hey! I just had a thought (it was bound to happen sometimes).

I bet we all could agree that Kaley Cuoco is darned cute, to say the least.

Whether or not it's MOST or ALL overweight people, NO ONE...NO ONE wakes up in the moring and thinks to themselves "I'm going to become fat." NO ONE, BGDC. It is absolutely absurd to assume that.

The point to be made in all this is that overweight people do not deserve your ridicule, they do not deserve to be outcasts because of their weight. That is the point to be made. You make the reference to the diabetic man. Tell me, BGDC, does Man B get ridiculed for being Diabetic? Hmm? No, I don't think so, therefore your entire argument is invalid. The point doesn't even correspond to the obesity debate.

By the way, all the tax money getting spent on Heart Disease and Diabetes research isn't due to obese people, my father developed diabetes late in life WITHOUT being obese, many people get heart disease without being overweight. It happens, get over it.

You say, "There's no shame in obesity anymore. There are excuses for obesity but not shame."

There are no excuses, there are REASONS, be they genetic or overeating or no excercise. There should NEVER be shame in being obese, but sadly because of closed-minded individuals like yourself there always will be.

I'm far from whining, I'm illustrating how genetics plays a part in obesity. I'm stating the facts and never said anything about the "fairness" of it, it's simply my lot in life. You just want to argue, apparently, because you hate fat people.

I eat no fast foods, chips, sodas, etc. In fact, I don't eat sugar at all. I cook and prepare most of my own meals, but I always have. Even with that, weight is difficult for me to keep off. I'll add that you *should* be able to understand that I'm typing that as a matter-of-fact and not expressing grief over it since you seem to infer that my statements are somehow whining.

You're still ignoring the genetic side of this so that you can rail against fat people as if they're some kind of pariah. You want shame in obesity, even though it is, in many cases, genetic, but I don't suppose you think you should feel shame for your genetic shortcomings. I'm sensing a lot of hatred toward fat people and wondering where you get the idea that "most" people are fat by choice. I'm not arguing that because I suspect the same thing, it's just irresponsible to claim such a thing as if it's fact when you're only making an assumption.

No matter what, you're displaying hatred rather than understanding and that's never a good thing. I'm guessing you're rather young. Time and age should mellow you.

Wow! Would you be this close minded and such a jerk if someone that you loved was obese BGDC? Probably so, huh. I guess, whatever is wrong with you has just made you cold and intolerant of others no matter if it is medical or not.

Nick,

You're whining. You seem to be saying it's just not fair you must work harder to stay thin than others.

Nick wrote "For me to keep my weight down, I have to work *harder* than the average person, I have to eat *less* food than the average person."

That's life, buddy. We're all different but there's no reason 50%+ of the nation is obese, while most nations don't see numbers coming nearly as close.

Do you ever drink soda?
Eat potato chip/toritlla chips?
Eat foods with cream sauces?
Eat at fast food/casual dining (McDonald's, Chilis, TGIF, Olive Garden, Red Lobster)?


" cannot seem to fathom that for many obese people genetics is the reason they're like they are and, therefore, outcasts."

Actually, I said MOST for a reason. Most people are fat by choice. most are not genetically given to glandualar problems until after they've been obese so long that they have fundamentally altered their bodies.

You have expressed that you know what you must do to remain healthy. Who is at fault if you don't do those things?

For instance, you have two men. One man (Man A)has normal blood sugar. The other (Man B) doesn't and he must take incilin and watch his diet - he was born this way. If Man B eats what he likes and doesn't take his shots, he will die. He makes the decision to avoid his shots and dies. Who is at fault? Man B made a clear decision. His life was MUCH harder than Man A but Man B KNEW the consequences of his actions - no matter how difficult, if he didn't follow a strict plan he would die.

What you are suggesting is that because Man B has a harder row to hoe; thus he is not personally responsible to HIMSELF and his own welfare.

Erosia,

Taking away personal responsibility is feeding into the problem. Do you see the problem with saying it's okay to be fat? To declare obesity worthy of victim status?

We are the fattest nation on earth and everyone in here is excusing that - it's economic, it's education, it's genetic, etc. Weird how we have 150 million people deprived of education, decent genes and money yet Mcdonald's continues to make record profits and all over the world (the genepool that feeds ours) every other nation is thinner.

There's no shame in obesity anymore. There are excuses for obesity but not shame.

Go ahead and call me the bad guy. Unfortunately, all our tax dollars will go to support the heart disease and diabetes that goes along with obesity. We're all paying for it.

BGDC,

You're still showing your ignorance on the subject of obesity. For me to keep my weight down, I have to work *harder* than the average person, I have to eat *less* food than the average person. Even with all that, while I'm no longer obese, I'm still overweight. If I were to eat and exercise at the same levels as an average person of similar age/weight/activity level as myself I'd gain weight like I was on a binge!

You're still blathering on as if it were a simple choice, when there' a lot more to it than that. You say you know what it's like to be an outcast because of genetics, yet you cannot seem to fathom that for many obese people genetics is the reason they're like they are and, therefore, outcasts. Ironically, while you find yourself in the same "genetic boat" as many obese people, you're the bearer of the very attitude that causes these genetically-inclined obese people (of which I'm part) to be outcasts.
