Why Fat People Suck

Side question: are there actually any legit medical conditions that make people fat?

I’ll play devil’s advocate here. I don’t know what sort of legit medical condition could cause the obesity, but I work with a woman who weighs 400 lbs if she weighs an ounce.

She’s a very smart and competent woman, puts in 12-16 hours a day on a regular basis. When I see her eating, sometimes is’s a small container of pasta salad, sometimes it’s a bag of chips, sometimes a panini sandwich. She drinks bottled diet flavored green tea.

I know what she’s doing for most of the day, and can attest to the fact that she cannot be taking in more than a couple thousand calories, I don’t see how she can be so big. She would have to eat non stop from the minute she got home until she came back to work, and yet she says she gets 6-8 hours of sleep a night. Do the math, between work & sleep, that only leaves about a few hours for eating, and I just can’t see her eating non-stop during those few hours.

There has to be some underlying medical condition here. Granted, her diet is not ideal, but she simply does not eat enough to support that kind of body weight. I feel sorry for her because I don’t think she will live many more years.

I had a friend like that. Everyone used to think it was so sad because she ate really healthy and yet continued to be morbidly obese, even though she was quite active.

We were friends for SIX YEARS before I discovered that she would go home every night and drink a case of Sprite and 2 boxes of kraft macaroni and cheese with at least a cup of mayo added to them. Then she’d gorge on bags of hershey’s miniatures and gummi candies. Of course, no one knew this and she would completely deny it even after I walked in on it a couple of times.

I don’t buy the whole hugely fat but doesn’t eat bullshit anymore. The woman you know IS eating to maintain that weight, she’s just sneaky about it.

I’m sure I’ve said this before but when I was at my fattest I was eating half of what I eat now. I would regularly eat at ~1200ish calories in a day. It was just a garbage diet with too many 60-70 hour weeks at work and too little exercise.

I find this thread to be quite silly. It is nauseatingly pompous and self-congratulatory (“aren’t we awesome, look how not-fat we are!”) I can’t speak from experience, but I would imagine that there are no “fat people” websites in which threads are created in order to put others down for how they look. No one wants to be fat (with the possible exception of some of the neanderthals over in the Bodybuilding forum who advise even clearly insulin-resistant newbs to “just f-ckin’ eat!”), and people know when they are fat (again, with the exception of some people over on the Bodybuilding forum). I don’t see the point in making fun of people who are clearly unable to control themselves for one reason or another.

There are hundreds of explanations for why a person might be overweight. A person’s appearance has nothing to do with their worth as a person. Muscles don’t make a you a good or bad individual, and neither does fat. Why not keep threads positive, helpful and encouraging? Would anything be lost by that?

Did you weigh 400 pounds Debra? Because that’s what was being suggested. I think a 400 pound woman who eats between 1200 and 2000 calories needs to be studied by science.

I think this thread is mainly aimed at morbidly obese people, not the 250lb people but the ones who let it get way out of hand and then act like it’s not their fault they are fat.

People that you see on the biggest loser for example.

I don’t actually hate fat people just because they are fat, but because IM getting made fun of for eating right and exercising. But if I were to make fun of them for being fat, Id be the asshole.

I am sorry for making this stupid ass thread and any offense it may or may not have caused to aforementioned “fat people”.

LOLOLOL at the name change of the thread.

I just figured maybe you guys would like a fat guy to post in your thread, so instead of talking shit about us all you could focus the verbal abuse at me. But, no one seemed to want to fuck with me. Except that canadian guy. Seriously though he is canadian and small so he obviously has issues himself. Well anyway fuck it I am out you guys need to come up with some better shit. Good luck in the lifting dept. guys.[/quote]

Hey thanks for the luck in my lifting department. I guess id have to say goodluck in the getting laid department!

you like that? maybe ill change it to “everyone here likes ponies” or some shit

Oh yes that is one thread I would be proud to post on!

Morbidly obese ppl on ponies, though…not so much

How about “Morbidly obese people cannot ride ponies”?

I want to see a fat person horse race. Imagine the jiggling LOL

Bull…wait for it…shit. Your muscles only grow quickly at first because your an undertrained fat fuck who thinks that lifting the 2l soda bottle is lifting heavy. Or there guts to wash the balls they cant see anymore. All the bullshit excuses, anyone can lose weight you just have to concentrate enough not to eat candy for a few months and go to the fucking gym.

No-one would guess I used to weight 335lbs from that post huh?[/quote]

Well to be fair, I’ve never even met a woman who weighed that much so I’m going to conclude we live in different worlds.

There is one obese man and one woman at my work and they are the only obese people I can say I ever see, save for a few tourists. So when you say fat and when I say fat we are talking about different people I suppose. After a recent trip back east I’ve concluded people here are exceptionally fit compared to other places. (but they have nicer cars!)

Hey, how about these industries who pump shit down pples throats? McDonalds, ConAgra, Kraft foods etc. After all, this epidemic of fat asses came AFTER the invention of fast food, hfcs, trans fats, vending machines… Apparently, there are people who are built too weak to resist eating crap. scum bag companies make a killing off of this fact (literally and figuratively).

That being said, I also hate fatties and their excuses, bad attitude, self loathing, excess consumption, smell, and laziness.

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Story?id=7823614&page=1

I can’t stand the “big is beautiful” movements. All those 300+ pounders forming a group to encourage other fatties to stay fat. It’s this kind of shit that gives people more excuses to not get up off their asses and try to improve themselves. “Oh I’ve tried everything and it didn’t work!” says the typical lard ass that works out a couple of times, doesn’t lose weight, and goes back to not working out because it just doesn’t work! Or has a salad every now and then saying they eat healthy. I used to feel bad for these people, but not anymore.

When you try to help them, you either get an angry response or you mostly get the 1001 whiny excuses on how they can’t do it because it doesn’t work or it’s too hard or they just don’t have the time to do it or people who work out have no life. I don’t care what the men or women of these stupid fat movements say, you cannot tell me that they would not want the body of a fitness model, if they say they don’t then they are lying.

There is no neeed to hate on fat people:

I actually think it’s the corn lobby’s fault. Putting their goddamn high fructose corn syrup bullshit in everything.

“We produce too much corn, but instead of using it to feed people or make fuel, LET’S TURN IT INTO OBESITY JUICE! ahem I mean ‘high fructose bullshit’”

Dude, you shouldn’t have changed the name of the thread. This is Testosterone Nation and if some fatties want to get their panties in a bunch over a light hearted thread that was simply created to have a little fun then so be it.

I understand you don’t want to offend anyone but at the same time you should grow a pair and stand by what you say and do.

x2. I might have disagreed, but fuck it.

Sounds like you all need something new to think about…

What is the funniest sport to watch fat people play and why?
