People going on about fat people
loads of you have said that fat people piss you off, and fair play, some, about 60% are just lazy idiots who don't know when to put the fork down.

But the rest, and I count myself in this (although I'm not overly fat and nicely tall so it all balances out) have just been dealt a bad hand from the gene pool. one half of my family are fat, the other half are tall. I got both.

I don't pay too much attention to what I eat, but I don't go overboard, I believe my diet is as average as anyone who'se been blessed with the body and metabolism of the gods, I excersise when I can, and if I want to loose weight I have to work about 10 times harder than the other people I know purely because of the genetic uphill struggle.

I know you will say "bollocks, being overweight has nothing to do with genetics" and I would usually believe you until you stop and have a good look around. look at what these people eat and then compare it to yourself.

it has been my experience (so proove me wrong) that the people who complain about fat people are the kind of people who will eat nothing but takeaway themselves. or go to McDo and get a mountain of cheeseburgers. just because you have fantastic genes and can metabolise all that fat and shit doesn't mean we all can. I dread to think what I'd look like if I ate nothing but shit like some of the thin people I know.

I may be jealous of these people, but I'd rather be jealous and enlightened (and intermittantly happy with my size) than angry and ignorant

Me wife's a victim of this
Poly-systic ovary syndrome is a bastard. Slows down your metabolism rates among other things, and makes anything pregnancy related very difficult. The doc's extimated that it's about 4 times harder than the average person to lose weight which doesn't help her at all.

and remember
the skinny people who can subsist on McDonalds and takeaway will look like wizened, gaunt monkey drug addicts when it catches up with them.

ha!

^^ what she says.
I'd rather be fat than ugly. At least I can loose weight.

my opinion
I think you should put the cake down and shut up fatty
(little lord muthafuckin fauntleroy, Fri 2 May 2008, 11:25, closed)

I'm one of those people with a ridiculously fast metabolism
But I've got nothing against people who weigh more than I do, in fact, I envy them.

A few years back I tried damn hard to gain weight, ended up eating twelve carbo-loaded and protein filled meals a day, along with snacking on tuna and pasta every 2 hours and three weight gain milkshakes.

I gained one stone and lost it within a month.

*EDIT* I was just showing that there are two ends to the scale, supporting your theory that it's genetic, not gloating!

It does
Go both ways, I had a friend who had salmonella when she was younger. she never returned to a normal weight, you can still fit your hands round her middle but she eats more than I do!

neither of us can find clothes that look right either

I hope your wife gets lucky with her pregnancy, there are some with polycistic ovaries who are lucky enough for everything to go well

Do You Know
That, if everyone in who's overweight in Britain, all jumped up in the air at *exactly* the same time?



They might lose some weight, the fat bastards.


Saying that, being 20% overweight is much sexier than 20% underweight. Skinny girls are rubbish. Like going to bed with a boy.

We want tits! - not bee-stings - and we want arses we can grab a hold of. And as for bony hips and protruding pubic bones....

If I want to fuck a skeleton I'll dig one up.

Cheers

^^But that's starvation for you
I eat more than anyone else I know, but I'm thinner than a rake. So it stands to reason that there are people who eat healthily, but gain alot more weight than I do.

@Legless I'm with you one the girls with a bit of meat on them thing, skinnyness is not attractive to anyone.
( Bert Monkeysex is waiting for the mods to delete him, Fri 2 May 2008, 11:39, closed)

I like guys with a bit of meat on them.
Which is strange as I'm a vegetarian.
( girlinthehole, Fri 2 May 2008, 11:42, closed)

Eat less, move more
It's the only thing that works. Repeat until desired effect is achieved.

It's not just filling your face with generic BooBooBurgers that does it. If you take in 50 calories a day more than you need, (i.e. a single digestive biscuit), then over time you will gain weight. Over a year, assuming a 1500 calorie-per-day diet, that equates to an extra 12 days worth of calories. Fat and sugar are all too easy to get and very hard to avoid in the current western diet.

@ Big-girl's-blouse
does being a vegetarian stop you from wrapping your lips around a meat truncheon and injecting yourself with man fat occasionally?

My problems not putting the fork down
It's putting the pint glass down. I gave up drinking for a month (somehow) and lost a stone. Soon put it back on though :0)
(Big Smurf Brush me daddy-O, Fri 2 May 2008, 11:52, closed)

Actually, I'm fat myself.
All 19 stone of me.

But I carry myself with some self-respect and I also cycle to work every day and try and go to the gym. Not to lose weight (I'm happy with my size) but just to keep my heart healthy.

What I was moaning about in my post was, like, enormously fat people. Who waddle from side to side, blocking all attempts at overtaking them. And people who complain about their weight and then continue to sit on their arse all day.

I Agree
eating less and moving more does make you loose weight, but if you were to do an experiment with 2 control people and gave them the same diet and excersise programme(the same as an average person) for life, their bodies would not look the same, and that is down to the genetics.

For anyone to loose weight you need to change the calories in - calories out balance, we all know that, but some don't need to - as is my point.

weight loss, gah
Ditch the booze
Ditch the stodge
Drink feckloads of water
Use smaller plates
Walk places
Wear ever so slightly too tight clothes to remind you not to eat that pie (but not too tight - no-one likes to see that)
Jobs a goodun (as they say)

YES!
i gained a large amount of weight due to severe illness and disability. trying to get rid of it is an uphill battle, especially as i still have great difficulty exercising due to my health.
my daily diet usually consists of:

breakfast
toast, 2 slices.

lunch
1 sandwich, usually consisting of 2 slices of bread, reduced fat spread, reduced fat mayo and either ham, egg or tuna.

dinner

either 2 or 3 skinned chicken drumsticks with veg, or a jacket potato with tuna and reduced fat mayo or some pasta.

as you can see, that is hardly overeating.

And I bet
You, like most of the rest, get filthy looks in the stret or shouted at.

it doesn't really bother me anymore, my favourite was a few years ago when someone shouted at me "Hey, how did it feel to win Pop Idol?" at least that one was creative

I know exactly what you mean.
I too am natrually a fatty, i was fat as a kid even though i ate the same/less than my stick thin bastard of a brother. However, I am no longer fat (i'm quite thin actally) due to a combination of going to the gym pretty much every day, and being a filthy poor student who cant afford to eat :)
-What does piss me off is seeing obese people eating KFC and stuff, and then whining about metabolism. (no-one is natrually THAT fat)

'If I want to fuck a skeleton I'll dig one up.'

Classic. Just classic.

Re the whole post: some people can't help the way they are. I thought I was too thin for ages, and no matter how much I ate I stayed bony (just needed the loo more often).

Then you've got my girlfriend. She's 'curvy',(although this is down to her having enormous breasts, but I digress) but she works an energetic job (bar work at Spoons), only really eats salad and jacket potatoes, walks everywhere, goes down the gym, does performing arts/physical theatre for her degree, yet is still a big girl.

And you know what? I love the way she is. I wouldn't have it any other way. (save her losing a little bit to make her feel happier and more confident. It doesn't bother me, but whatever makes her happy makes me happy) I've always preferred bigger women anyway. I find it more attractive and nicer to curl up to in the morning.

Who says thin is good? Girls, embrace your love-handles and cellulite! Who's with me?

@Katzilla
I'm thin and look after my body by eating nothing but powersauce bars not McDo so I'm entitled to call you fat bastards as I don't pollute my body, you're wrong about thin people

I'm so so sorry

No, I agree with you completely in this post. I used to work at McDonalds, and I was super skinny. This was due to me working 8 hour shifts 5 days a week, and with the exception of my mostly 15 minute breaks, I'd rarely stop running!

Unfortunately, I left, and now work in an office job. Being sat staring at a computer for hours at a time makes you realise how often you snack, it's ridiculous.

When I started at this job, I weight 9-9.5 stone (I was a small guy)
Now, only a year later, i'm pushing 13 stone.

I can't claim it's due to genetics, my family are all in good shape. I know it's because I snack, eat processed shit at home, and don't exercise. It was only a shock last week when I saw just how big I was that I realised I have to lose weight.

Any tips b3tans?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 6 May 2008, 13:32, closed)

go
get water from the cooler, its a tiny bit of a seat-break and you drink more water which is good for you. other than that, I found slimming world works well without being too much of a burden.

gyms are always fun too.

The thing about weight loss is we all want a magical quick fix. when really the best thing is good food and excercise. switch crappy snacks with fruit (tasty) and walk around more
