I feel like after I bust my arse in the gym and eat relatively clean during the week, the weekends are meant to splurge. The problem we have is that they feel like splurging should be an everyday thing.
Once you're at a maintenance weight, this is fine. For us fatties that need to lose a lot of weight, those kinds of splurges need to be once every other week at most. It's waaay too easy to eat back all of the calories you didn't eat during the week during a single cheat meal and derail your entire week's worth of hard work.

I really don't think I could live like this. I enjoy eating too much. I don't eat like a gross pig just because I find a little more balanced diet more appealing. I like variety and some level of quality. But I don't think I could be one of those dry chicken and unseasoned, unbuttered, carefully portioned vegetable people. It just seems miserable.

Depends on the situation. I work with someone that is very obese. Had gastric bypass and over the last few years gained it all back. How do you do it twice?
For those saying they are happy that way, I don't buy it for most. I don't buy it that someone would rather to be overweight than thin. When I hear that I think they would rather be overweight than take the effort to change.

I can respect a fat person that got fat by being lazy, like they eat a moderate amount of food but just don't exercise and thus became fat.
You do not get fat from eating a moderate amount of food and not exercising.

It's a mental issue. People who feel so hopeless with their weight that they get gastric bypass surgery should be seeing therapists. It's no surprise to me that the majority of bypass patients gain most, if not all, of the weight back. They are treating the symptom of mental issues, not the actual problems.

I think alot of fat people don't realize how much they are eating. Especially when you can rack up some calories fast with the wrong foods.
It's amazing how little I'm eating compared to just a month ago. It's hard for me to meet my calorie goals. Goddamn spinach.

Also people put all their focus on exercise and very little on diet. This is why you see people in your gym who work out religiously and still look the same year after year. Diet is way way more important than your workout.

Yep. Its way way easier to not eat 200 calories than it is to work 200 calories off. You should exercise for health not weight loss.

I do and I don't, but it typically doesn't have anything to do with being fat or not.
I run 4x a week, eat healthily when I can, and definitely splurge on the weekends.
I was running a few months ago, and I saw a larger lady speed walking in my direction, as I got closer to her, I could tell she was working hard, so I gave her a thumbs up and said, "great job!" to her. Well, you'd swear I just told her she was the biggest waste of air and that she was a fat lazy slob, because she stopped me and started to read me, asking me if I knew how demeaning it was to her, and that she was doing that exercise for herself, and she didn't need my validation or approval. I apologized, and said that I only intended encouragement, and that everyone needs that sometimes.
I was floored. Offer someone a simple gesture and few words of encouragement and you get your arse handed to you. For the record, I've done this once or twice before on occasion and never got this response.

if you see a fattie working out or running i'd stay away and not say anything...
Chances are they're in a pissed off mood 'cause they're hungry, fat, and have to work out

A lot of people are incredibly insecure while they're exercising and their insecurity leads them to feel judged by others at all times. Women are particularly prone to this behavior. You did a good thing, she was just insecure.

A lot of the old mob bosses were fatties. They were living pretty well.
I could see that being kind of condescending if you look at it from her point of view. Just treat her like you'd treat anyone else working out.

What was great about JFK?
What was great about Clinton? What did he do besides fall arse- backwards into the internet boom and why was the economy headed towards the crapper his last year?

Do You Respect Fat People?
Though this is the internet AND the Rant, I'm not going to say something just to get your goat.
I honestly don't care if a person is fat or not. I don't judge people based on their physical appearance.
This is not some "holier than thou" thing. I still find people physically attractive, and I freely admit that there has to be something I find attractive if I want to pursue a romantic relationship with them. Thankfully, my wife is hot ;)
But as friends? Don't care. Co-workers? Don't care. I'll take a "fat" friendly individual over a "hot" arsehole every day of the week.
Hot only gets you so far with me even in a relationship sense. If I cannot tolerate being around you in a normal social context, it ain't lasting long.

Keep in mind, the usual reaction she gets may be filled with sarcasm or contempt. Genuine praise might be hard for her to accept.

I respect everyone until they give give me a reason not to. That courtesy should be extended to every human and animal, IMO.
I do not however feel sorry for them. I had no clue just how bad it is in the United States (And the south in particular) until I lived in Europe for 3 years and moved back. My mother in law nearly had a heart attack at how many extremely obese people we saw just while in the airport in Atlanta when we flew back to the states.
Outside of serious health issues (that you didn't bring upon yourself) I'll never understand how people are content with living like that. Honestly I feel more sorry for them than anything.
