Speaking of parking lots and Texasā¦I just dropped my wife off at HEB (itās a Texas grocery store) and then I went and found a parking spot to wait in while she picked some things up.
As I sat and watched all of the land whales wallow into and out of the store, I grew sadder and sadder at the sad, sorry state of health/fitness in our country. I mean, in the entire 15 minutes I sat there, I actually counted 3ā¦yes THREEā¦individuals walking through the parking lot that were skinny or at least not morbidly obese. The rest of the peopleā¦man, wearing pajama pants, crocs, yoga pants, crappy t-shirts, fake hair, shower caps, etc. and all of them had massive guts, most all the women had FUPAS, their asses looked like cottage cheese, most could only shuffle as to walk normally or with any speed, their inner thigh chub rub would ignite a fire. The men and women, their back rolls looked like massive packs of hot dogs, and anyone who was wearing shorts, I witnessed more cases of lymphedema than Iād ever seen in just 15 minutes! Everybody had sharms, and cankles and these massive guts where no way they could see their own junk-man or woman!
Itās just sad that now WE (those of us on this site) are the rare ones nowadays. Seeing someone that looks visibly muscular/built is now like what it must have been like 100 years ago seeing a very obese personā¦an odd, peculiar sight. Itās like the trend is to NOT take any pride in appearing fit and healthy.
Why has everyone in this county just given up and accepted being fat and sloppy? And before anyone says my standards are too high, no, I totally can understand people in their 40s, 50s, etc putting on a FEW pounds, but these people were literally land whales, many 50, 75, 100+ or more pounds overweight. ALL could be classified as obese and many in fact would be morbidly obese. Iād guesstimate the average female weight would be about 195lbs and the average male approximately 300lbsā¦and thatās average, there were MANY outliers much heavier than this. Many females were 2, 250 or more and some of the dudes were probably pushing 400lbs! Why did Americans just give up and accept being disgusting? Iām sorry if this offends anyone but after sitting in my truck and watching all of those people, for whatever reason it really hit me hard and no joke, made me sad that people just gave up and accept looking disgusting. I also wondered, do these people just not have any mirrors in their bathrooms? So when they get out of the shower they donāt have to look at their numerous fat rolls? Because as yaāll know, when you step out of the shower everyday that is the most honest, real look you are getting of your bodyā¦which I was always taught was your temple and you were supposed to take good care of it as you only got one in this life. I dunno, I have so many questions, and I just cannot understand why everyone just went and gave the fuck up.
Sorry, didnāt mean to be a debbie downer but dammit, I want to seriously know what the hell happened?? Why does no one these days appear to have any shame? And absolutely no concern for diabetes, heart disease, joint problems, lymphodema, kidney failure, etc?
I guess my hot take is: WHY IS EVERYBODY IN AMERICA NOWADAYS OBESE or MORBIDLY OBESE and yet not seem to be concerned, or embarassed, at all?!

Mental and emotional illness.
Because as soon as you clear the produce aisle in HEB you are confronted with multiple tables full of already prepared food, cakes, cookies, pies, muffins, brownies, doughnuts etcā¦
Aisles and aisles of ready to eat crap, any brand, any flavor.
Frozen foodā¦ anything and everything, just warm it up. Takes zero effort.
I hate it! I definitely understand having some, for the culinary challenged but, damn! There is an obscene amount of it now. Itās crazy.

Nice backdogs bro!
As long as my back dogs are vertical and the result of deadlifts, Iāll take it.

Hot take: itās because people unintentionally drink calories now. When people drank mainly water or coffee/tea, having 8 glasses a day was pretty close to zero calories.
Now people are drinking 2 litres of soda (or worse) instead. 2 litres of coke is close to 800 calories - an extra 800 a day will get you obese in no time.

Whatās a FUPA?
Iām assuming its the US equivalent of a gunt - which is when you canāt tell where the gut ends and the c*** beginsā¦

Itās 2024. No one is unintentionally eating or drinking crap.
Does the person who exercises and eats right have some secret access to the truth about diet and exercise that the person who eats garbage, and lots of it, doesnāt have? The psychology of the person who can say no to garbage and put in the time and effort to exercise is different than the person who is eating himself to an early death.

I agree this is a large contributor to health in general.
When my nephew was born he would drink what his parents drank. Sweet tea, ginger ale, lemonade, stuff like that, so his parents had a hard time feeding him real food. The doctor was concerned about his development and said that he needed more food since all he was getting was basically sugar. I suggested that switching to milk might help, and I got an angry reply āHe needs to eat more, not drink more.ā
They were both obese and thought that calories only came from food, so Iām sure itās a widespread concept. They always order some grande caramel mocha with twenty pumps of vanilla and whipped cream type-thing, and Iām the weirdo with unsweetened green tea.
My nephew is now in his early teens and is still drinking the same things and is obese.
Are you aware of the effects of green tea on testosterone levels?
Honestly though, any info you have would be appreciated. Iām getting conflicting answers on them world-wide-internets.
With all of the information at our fingertips related to diet, exercise, healthy food options, and the damage obesity can have upon the body (type II diabetes, heart disease, etc.)ā¦but yet seeing all the obesity around us everywhere we goā¦
Is it just as simple as people have become lazy AF? And since the majority of people are now obese and disgusting, that there is less overall shame in being obese since everyone else looks as heinous as you do? Iād hate to think so, but the evidence is quite overwhelmingā¦
Also, yes, the poster above was correct with the definition of FUPA and dear god, it is something you never, EVER want to see without any clothing fabric between the FUPA and your eyes! On a related noteā¦the men who have the monstrous belliesā¦do they just never ever see their junk? How the hell does a man live like that?
There are perhaps further, more disturbing questions related to how these land whales manage to live but I will shut up for now. In my defense, all further questions simply center around basic functions/activities/behaviors that are normal for regular sized humans. If these words have now caused you the reader to have disturbing images or questions of your own, for that I apologize.
If they knew their dick would get bigger as they lost weight I think a trillion pounds of fat would be lost in 6 months.

I believe the original is actually āFat upper pubic area,ā but pussy works, too.
Tomato tomahto?
I imagine the run on exercise equipment would be like a tsunamiā¦dudes would be exercising and starving themselves left and right.
Maybe we should keep it a secret then. There is a special kind of terror when a happy naked woman says āJust a second,ā runs out of the room, and comes back with a ruler or tape measure. I did not know this was a thing, but it happened more than once.
