re: Fat Shaming: As a Society We Need to Do it More

So much attack/defensiveness in this terrible thread. It's easy for the fit to be smug (like me...6'0", 170, 63y/o) and equate changing eating habits with quitting smoking.

But, it's NOT the same.

Quit smoking, quit drinking, quit hard drugs...you quit. But you can't quit eating. Yes, the fatties are lying to themselves. That's what addicts do. But with their addiction, they can't flat-out quit. Try telling a heroin addict to "just use less, man."

Most fatties were raised to be fat. Their eating habits are the only thing they've ever known. And in most cases they'll raise more fatties. The only way to break the cycle is to raise healthy-eating generations.

Or to go the way of Venezuela.

Bro, you came into a fat shaming thread and proclaimed to be fat but basically can't help it.. you shouldn't be shocked that you aren't getting any sympathy in this thread or getting trolled

I have no issues with my fellow fat bastards. God Speed to all the blimps out there. There’s a good chance I will be one of you in 5 years. As soon as my kids are in college, I will explode.

Here’s to morbid obesity!!

Sorry she cheated on you with a fat guy.

Honestly, I eat decently healthy. It's the lack of exercise that is my issue

Diet is where you lose weight. Your thought process is backwards.

I never said I couldn't help it. I can loose weight, I've done it before a couple of times and kept it off for a good while.

My point is that not everyone that is overweight eats junk food all the time and takes in tons of calories of sweets and fast food.

It's also much easier for some people to keep weight off than others. My mom's boyfriend is 60 and eats three times the amount I do and is in great shape. And he eats pasta, sweets, drinks regulatly, etc.

My sister husband is the same way. Skinny as can be, eats whatever he wants.

Like I have no idea how they eat that much, it's crazy. I'd be about to throw up.

You are paying, right now, with taxes and inflated insurance premiums.

What you described as your normal eating habits is junk food

You just don't recognize it as junk food

Cereal, pasta, subway sandwiches? That's a lot of your daily intake from worthless grains which are essentially just sugar

I love me some big body gals

The human body simply doesn't work like that. You likely aren't paying attention to their portion size, or you only see them around cheat meals.

My friend's wife is like 90lbs and she eats basically any type of terrible food for you that you could imagine. But she gets full after 5 bites. You'd see what she orders at a restaurant and think wow, she gets to eat whatever and be that skinny. But she basically brings entire entrees home in go boxes. And she's tried to put on weight, but she gets sick when eating like a "regular" person.
