I saw on facebook today a comment that said “He looks like Gary Busey. If Gary Busey went bobbing for apples in a bucket of bees.”
Had me laughing.

I was working on a clever Busey reference. Alas, too late.
He’s like Gary Busey, but ugly.

For me, this.
I avoid gym or fitness talk whenever possible unless the person I am speaking with is already in good shape.
Virtually all others asking for tips or advice will not follow it and over the years I have learned this.
As far as the OP goes, is what you described annoyingly? Ya a little but is it really that bug of a deal?
Life’s too short to worry about stuff like that.
Just let it roll of your back and focus that energy into your fitness endeavors so you stop looking like DYEL ok?

Yea he’s an ugly fuck anyway - so he might want to invest in a mirror before proclaiming himself one of the “cool, good looking kids” - because he looks like someone slammed him in the face with a fucking frying pan.
What a reprehensible message to send to kids.

Yeah he is an ugly dude. Fat bitches from high school were going crazy that he said this. Omg I will never shop there again blah blah blah. I was thinking hmmmm did you ever shop there in the first place?
The secretary I work with decided to take the tuition money she’s been saving up for a year and use it for 6 months of personal training.
I’m fine with her talking about it… she seems pretty serious about it.

I agree with X and others on this. I used to hate on fat people, then realized that I was wrong in doing so.
Now, I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. In reality, it’s fucking EASY to be fat these days! EVERYTHING regarding the food industry is done for a reason. Taste testing and developing sugar/fat ratios that are most addictive. The fact that there are studies that have proven that sugar is not only addictive, but even toxic. Fuckin’ food at supermarkets are all placed EXACTLY where they should be in order for you to buy as much shit as possible.
Then you have those little ones you call children tugging on your shorts grabbing a box (the biggest one he can get his hands on) of delicious sugary cereal and asking you to buy it for him, too. Cause supermarker man knows that if he puts them on the lower shelves, said kids are gonna see them… and want them. Then you gotta buy more milk. Then there are gyms like planet fitness that allow you to tell friends/coworkers/SO/yourself that you “go to the gym” but enable you to not do shit while you’re there, because doing shit is, well, hard. Then you grab a slice of pizza off of the front desk on your way out from “pizza night at the gym.”
Then there’s a starbucks offering 500+ calorie drinks that people eat up like there’s no tomorrow. A fast food restaurants in every part of town, every other exit on freeways, in malls/college campuses, etc. The convenience and (often deceivingly) “low” price of fast food (we’re not talking about people who get one or two things off the dollar menu.) Would you like to supersize that? Then you have your similarly lazy/out of shape friends and family who enable you to be lazy so they don’t have to feel bad about themselves while you get up off your ass and make a change.
The whole fitness industry is fucked six ways to sunday: trainers who don’t know shit about training or diet, the worlds most beautiful woman raving about her 4 brussel sprout per day diet, “magic diet pills” that give you all the hope in the world just to let you down with zero results.
That’s only naming a few. There are TONS of reasons why it’s easy to be fat these days. You have your odds stacked against you in terms of being in great shape in america in 2013, man.
So really, I just hope they happen to stumble across something like tnation/gary taubes/mountain dog diet/a knowledable friend (O-FUCKING-P 
)/etc so that they can at least have a chance to get a grasp on what actual good nutrition is, because in reality, there ARE people who truly believe 1000 cal per day vegan diets or lemon juice cucumber honey 11 day cleanses are far healthier than eating a grass fed steak with a side of veggies.
Or that an egg omlette with a side of bacon and avocado isn’t going to clog your arteries and kill you at 40. There’s so much false information for these people to buy into and it’s usually the bullshit that’s so widespread. Which is pretty unfortunate.
So really, I prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt. If you can’t wish them well, at least don’t wish them poorly.
And if that’s not good enough, later that night when you get home, quietly give yourself a pat on the back for having the resolve to not befat, but still, it’s just not worth being a dick over. [/quote]
This is a good point, however, everything you said comes down to wanting to do it.
I don’t hate on fat people, but I’m not too fond of them either. Much like in the US, here in Brazil fat people get special treatment as well. Last week I was riding a bus back home from practice, tired as shit, a fat dude comes in and DEMANDS that I give up my seat. In english, he pretty much said “I have the right to sit down on this particular seat and I’m going to make use of it.”
“Uh, bitch, so do I”. That should have been my answer but I just fucking moved and sat somewhere else.
The whole point is, of everything you said, all those candies, all that fast food, all that shit, IS AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE. Not just fat people. That shit is available to me, and I’m not fat. How come? It’s not like Mr. Ronald McDonald came up to him with a gun and forced him to eat at his fast food chain everyday. Or is it?
Yes, it is EASY to be fat. But it is also EASY not too eat shit. There are no arguments in favor of eating shit over healthy food or even fruits. Buy a pound of apples, some goddamn bananas, I bet my ass it’s going to be way cheaper than eating twice a day at McDonalds.
Just to cap it off. I work at company, and I always bring a few apples with me so I can get my sweet tooth after lunch. Every day I offer them to everyone around. You know how many people take them? One, a dude that used to be a BB. Fat people don’t even mind to answer me anymore.
The other day a girl came in with a box of chocolates, guess what happened…

Why dont poor people get upset that Rolls-Royce does not make a vehicle that they can afford? I mean what the hell kind of message are they sending to the poor kids of the world?
I see ZERO problem with AF not making clothes for fatties, however the ceo coming out and making that statement was stupid.

Completely agree with this. I follow live and let live. If you want to devour a dozen donuts for lunch go for it, but when you affect my life, thats when we have a problem.
For example:
The other day I was walking home from my office, and I decided to have a smoke, ya ya I am a weak willed SOB. I am always careful to make sure I am not blowing in someone direction or close to someone else. Well this rather large woman who looked to be in her 30’s, who had been regulated to a scooter because of her size(scooter was unable to container), scooters over to me. She decides to start informing me how smoking is horrible for my health(duh). All the while she is snaking on this huge bag of candy. Now trying to be the bigger person, I say nothing. She keeps on going and going. So finally I just mention that candy isn’t probably the best choice of food. She then informs me that she is HAS to eat candy to maintain her blood sugar and how its rude to judge someone.
I think that shows just how our society is. I take care of myself, but I choose to have a cig on occasion. I know and understand the risks, but people feel that it is fine to berate a smoker for their choice. Now if I turn around and treat a heavy person the same way, I would be viewed as a complete and utter dick. I think obesity is so wide spread that it now has a special set of rules within our society where no one can comment on it. Personally I think people should be doing whatever makes them happy and I really don’t care what you do, but thats just me.

I completely agree, I was having a conversation with my friend Jordan last night about working out. I told her also about how if she is trying to tone up she needs to watch what she eats too.(she is pretty hot big ole white girl booty). She goes on how it is just genetics if you are fat or not and she eats whatever she wants. Of course I start arguing that she is just lucky and there is alot you can do to make your body how you want. She got offended and said how her brother is fat and can’t do anything about it. The conversation was going no where so I finally dropped it and made excuses up of why he eats so much, common stuff he is depressed has nothing else kinda shit. I hate how people just accept it and act like o they didn’t do this to him or herself it just happened. Irritating as hell, you don’t just become 300+ pounds overnight.

Great post. I largely agree with most of the content, but you are essentially empowering the victim mindset. Eating healthy is expensive and takes discipline. No one forces a fat person to over eat. Their condition is their own fucking fault and I have zero sympathy.

Fact: It’s NOT expensive to eat healthy food. Fuck you fat people, go learn something about nutrition other than what size drink you can fit in your cup holder.
To whoever posted the story about the fat ass on the scouter eating candy talking shit about having a smoke, you really should have pushed her over.

People shop with the basic instinctive drive to get bang for buck. Calorie dense foods that are fast and easy to eat.
It may not be expensive to eat healthy but it is definitely cheaper and easier to eat badly.
I used to spend a lot of time hating on fat people. It occurred to me that I was ignoring a lot of groups. I now hate on anyone different than me. I do it from behind the security of my keyboard, however.

I am all for fat people getting active. Them eating cheesecake everyday while complaining about how fat they are would be worse than this.
At least they are doing something.
Why hate?[/quote]
Ahhhhh man…Professor X…you mean I should eat cheesecake everyday and then complain?
I agree, why hate. Hating uses up a lot of energy that could be spent on maybe getting to know the person’s story. Instead of hating maybe be a little more pro-active (not just the giving $100). Just because you might not need to join the contest, you could join in a supportive role leaving motivating quotes, healthy recipes, etc. on their desks.

Coming from a family of 8, this is absolutely true. Especially when one has to shop with a lot of coupons!
