Fat People

[tizz]

OK that's it, I AM jpoining curves TODAY!!!! I am not quite FAT or obese but I could stand to loose a few and get into better shape. This thread actually grossed me out!!!!!

In the US we have a federal law called "Americans with Disabilities", this law widened to a ridiculous degree who can claim a disability. Fat people, drug addicts just to name 2. They are due all kinds of extra perks that the rest of the responsible world does not get. It annoys the shit out of me that you can make a choice that gets you the right to be disabled.

I love watching this show called Airport, its on A and E here in the states, they show fat people being required to buy 2 seats of they don't fit into one so that the people sitting next to them won't be inconvenienced with a lap dance.

One time I caught a flight to Phoenix on Southwest airlines. There was a dude on the flight that was so disgustingly obese they made hime buy the whole row!

Now thats "Hindenburgh" fat!!

One of my ex co-workers...Her father was on disability because he was the size of a Beluga whale, which in turn gave him a breathing problem. You know what he used to do with his government handout? Go to the Casino several times a week. He SHOULD have been on a tread mill losing that weight so he can work like the rest of us...but NOOOOO. He took his welfare check and put it in a slot machine.

They should hand out vouchers for a gym instead of money. Handouts should fit the disability. 'You obviously don't need money for food, so we will pay for a gym membership and the gas to get there...' or 'We will help you re-budget so that you can learn to divert that food money to other areas of necessary living.'

Good idea....and they should be monitored to make sure they're following through. I recently heard a good idea: They should put restrictions on what you can buy. Make it kind of like WIC. You can't buy beer or smokes with the food stamps, why not make it so they can only buy fruit/veggie/bread/pasta/dairy products (minus Ice Cream)?

Furthermore, in order to ensure that these people are spending society's hard earned money wisely, they should be required to take health and nutrtion classes. I worked as a cashier in high school, and it was SICKENING what the majority of welfare people spent their money on: the mini jugs of juice (LOADED with sugar and no nutritional value), chips, cookies, Hostess/Little Debbie garbage, frozen dinners (not the nutritious kind) soda, and any other disgusting junk food you can think of. And their "main" meals were Ramen, mac and cheese, Chef Boyardee.....So not only are they killing themselves, giving themselves cavities, heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes (to name a few) they are teaching their children these diet habits, in turn ruining their health, and not teaching them about proper nutrition. It is a vicious cycle and something needs to be done about it.

Well fat people gross me out, too. The ones that ride the motorized carts at the grocery store are pretty hard to take.

 

I, however, have a different take on real obesity and how people react to it.

 

The true, disgusting fatties are disfunctional humans. It is OBVIOUS.

 

Most people have disfunctions.

 

Some smoke pot until so unmotivated they can't work and have to live with their mammy. Some drink a bottle of vodka everyday and destroy their health and relationships. Some do "legal" drugs and turn into zombies. Some run and excercise to the point of insanity. Some are workaholics and lose their families. Some spend money on useless things and abuse credit then file bankruptcy. Some screw with abandon until they get HIV.

 

Etc., etc. These are all pretty easily hidden from the general population. I mean, you can go to the mall pretty wasted on Xanax, but as long as you don't fall on your face on the escalator...nobody will even notice.

 

But be FAT, really, really FAT and everybody else (and most have some disfunction themselves, secretly) can glare and giggle and nudge, nudge, wink wink. It's the only disfunction that is glaringly obvious and I think it makes everyone feel just a bit better about themselves.

 

Just my opinion. I actually feel as sorry for an out of control fat person as I do for a person that has anorexia. The anorexic is not as gross, really, but plenty scary to look at.

 

I say, try a little kindness if you can.

 

But don't let them leak onto your bus seat for heaven's sake. That's not at all fair. They should pay for 2 seats.

I'm not mean, or rude to fat people. Unless of course they are rude to me first or give me a damn good reason to be nasty. I'm not rude to anyone unless they give me a REALLY good reason to be.

I understand that for some eating is an addiction. However, they should attempt treatment the way drug addicts should get treatment, alcoholics, anorexics....Hell, even if they EXERCISED once in a while and chose to eat better foods they wouldn't become so grotesque.

Honestly, I generally don't laugh when I see an obese person. It really isn't funny. I get nauseous, sick to my stomach, disgusted. The same way I get nauseous and disgusted when I see someone drunk off their ass in public, or someone who is skeleton thin, or obviously a drug addict. I know I am not perfect but one thing I make sure to take care of is my health. I only have one body, and I have a child on the way. I want to be around for her as long as possible, and be a positive role model for her. Not only in my diet and exercise habits, in all aspects of life. You only have one life, do it right.

Last night I was watching a show on people over 600lbs, one was 1000!!!! I did feel sorry for these people but none of them were powerless to stop it they just didn't and nobody around them cared wnough too. Two of the people DID go to great lengths to get it under control (one nearly died in the process). I cannot imagine what allows a person to let themselves go that far. I know there are metobolic conditions that make it hard for some people to keep wieght off or to stop eating, but wouldn't you go to a doctor if you found yourself getting so fat you couldn't fit through doors? (these people could not get cat scans because they did not fit) I think I accuse the people watching it happen as much as the ones it is happening to. I mean if they can't get out of the house, you don't have to go out and get them CRAP to eat, and you don't HAVE to anser the door for dominoes.

Hi. I'm full of shit etc etc etc.

 

Blah blah blah

 

post your picture.

No pics allowed in this forum.

 

If obesity is indeed a disease, then how come fatties don't seek treatment?

 

Laziness is the real disease.

 

Get off your arses, and get moving. If you think you might be fat, just think what the people around you think.

 

When I was at school, there were few fat-arses. Those that were "short-for-their-weight" were endlessly bagged out. In today's PC world, that sort of bagging is punishable.

 

Take pity on the fat fucks. They will die young, leaving an ugly bloated corpse.

My husband noticed the same kind of thing working at a gas station. Big women, who obviously were not starving, with $20 nails, $50 hair, driving an Escalade, and bringing $200 worth of food stamps in so that they could buy junk food. What a joke. If you are already over 250lbs what the hell do need food stamps for? Sorry. The improper use of the system is for another thread.

 

Obese is unhealthy and should not be encouraged.

Elmoish mentioned the fat people that ride the carts at the grocery store. That really pisses me off because a true handicap (to me at least) is one that you have no choice in, you were born that way or God forbid you were injured. I watched a show about a man who lost a leg in Iraq. He made a choice to do what he felt was his duty and lost his leg. People who make the choice to ignore their own bodies until they swell to 600-1000 lbs so they have to ride a fuckin cart around the grocery store should not be considered handicapped. I have a guy in my math class, he is so huge that he barely fits into the chair, after class I see him in the area where people eat, I have to wonder how he can put any food in his mouth without feeling like an idiot. Unless you wanted to consider them mentally handicapped because they have done something so stupid to their bodies.

No shit! They need to get their fat-asses out of those carts and walk some of that lard off!

You know what's sad? Fat people who are pregnant. Well, it is kinda funny too.

A woman I work with is almost 8 months pregnant. Me, I'm six months and look a helluva lot more pregnant than she is.

She's FAT. Not 300 pounds obese, but still fat. If she's not wearing maternity clothes, you don't realize that she is pregnant. Even in maternity clothes it's iffy. When I was 3 months pregnant, I looked more pregnant than she did. Some of the parents didn't even REALIZE she was pregnant until after they realized I was and we would talk about all the pregnant people at work (there were 3, we are down to 2...the third is due any day.) They honestly had NO IDEA!!

It's just sad when someone can't tell you're EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT because you're too goddamn fat! (Not to mention the atrocious diet she kept throughought the pregnancy, but that is for a different thread at a different time)

That is so rude when people think that about a woman with child. Call me a loser or whatever. But I find a woman with some meat on her bones is not only more healthy. But is offten a happier person ,and more fun to be around.

[angie]

She's fat. Plain and simple. She was fat LONG before she became pregnant.

Furthermore, it is unhealthy for the baby and can pose risks to the pregnancy. There really isn't much difference between her body now and before she got knocked up. What pisses me off is she planned this pregnancy and made no effort to start a healthier lifestyle and make her body healthier before carrying a child. When you eat nothing but fast food and fried shit because you are too goddamn lazy to cook I have no sympathy. And there is a HUGE difference between having a bit of meat on your bones and being fat. This broad is FAT.

And HOW can she be happier when she has pains because she's overweight, and can hardly do anything because her body can't support it because she's so goddamn fat? Please. I'm pregnant for god's sake and I am far from being 'fat'. There is a difference.

To some FAT chicks getting prengant is just another stupid exuse for overeating.
