This reminds me of a girl I knew in college. She had the idea that in order to have a good future, she had to graduate in three years with a math degree (and a minor in CS). And apparently, she didn’t come in with too many credits. So she took six or seven classes, mostly technical, every semester. As you might expect, she was miserable. And there was no doubt about it, because she was very vocal about her misery, to whoever would listen. And it was her own damn fault, but she wouldn’t do anything about it.
So yeah, I can see where the OP is coming from. People who create problems for themselves and sit there and bitch about it are really obnoxious. I can’t stand them.
All the same, I wouldn’t hire him/her to communicate anything important.
Calling me a stupid pigfucker doesn’t make your ass any smaller! Go fuck yourself you stupid pig!
I already said that I’m looking for a different job, and I already used the “wax in your ears” comment . . . this makes you both unattentive and unoriginal. And, you’re clinging to your “metabolism” excuse . . . you sound a lot like the women I described in my original post! It takes a lot less effort to insult people that have an opinion on obesity than it is to get on the treadmill and transform yourself into the people you envy. I think you’re lazy and stupid.
I can understand the point of the OP. There was a receptionist where I used to work who was a very nice young lady. She also happened to be heavy but that didn’t affect my opinion of her one way or the other. Over time I got to know her better and she’d stop by to chat with me from time to time. She was forever telling me about the diet she was about to start. When she did I would be very supportive. None of her diets lasted more than two days. It drove me nuts. Diet or don’t diet, I don’t give a shit, but don’t tell me you’re on a strict diet and then eat an entire package of mini donuts 45 minutes later. Especially don’t repeat this cycle every three weeks for the entire time I know you.
Heh, I like how you assumed that I’m fat because I disagreed with your post… FTR I’m actually a bit underweight. No hard feelings though, I didn’t really take that much offense to what you said. Sometimes I just like hurling insults for the sake of it, and the Pit seems like as good a place as any.
Listening to people bitch and whine 8 hours a day is bad for mental health, and probably one’s blood pressure as well. I know it was for mine; fotunately I don’t work in an office that keeps a radio on NPR all day during an election year anymore so I’m happier
You can’t take your eyes off of their asses, can you? And you can’t focus and you can’t concentrate on your work because you keep thinking about their big plump abundant asses. And you can’t shut their voices out. And you can’t stop watching them eat. Those mouths open so wide for those donuts. They might swallow you. Those big asses might sit on you. And you have to look at them. You can’t help yourself. So you want to control them because you can’t control yourself. And you can’t control your ears and you can’t control your eyes when they have to look again at those asses.
Sometime in the past a woman increased the spread of her lower body in order to give birth to you. After going through all that, I would have thought she would have taken the time to teach you better manners.
And weight loss is a little more complex that what some of you have concluded.
This is a really interesting recent report that pulls together information from several sources. Although there is still emphasis on healthy eating and exercise, that may not mean what you thing it means:
Excerpt:
Lucky you, rhino!
So cutting calories and exercise are not necessarily the right way to go. The article explains.
On the other hand, there are still other reasons why some people eat compulsively. These are still more complex. Recently there has been some success treating compulsive eating with anti-convulsive medications. Topamax is one.
I return you now to a more perverted kind of compulsion – abundant ass observance.
I really find it amusing that from my three or four posts in this thread, you assume a)I’m fat, b)I think being underweight is a good thing, and c) that I’m a woman… wrong on all counts. But I don’t know you and I you’re obviously a fucking moron, so I don’t have to try to convince you.
I think you may have slightly misunderstood the basic biology underlying the study. Cortisol is a medium to long range stress hormone. After your body has been stimulated and releases adrenaline, which wears off quickly, you start producing cortisol in response to continued stress. The stress we are talking about here is immense. A 500 calorie deficit and 30 minutes on the treadmill will not promote fat retention due to cortisol levels. They are talking about “running 10 miles a day on 1000 calories” kind of stress. In an overweight person, the stress necessary to induce long term elevated levels of cortisol would likely kill them before they started retaining fat. To be quite blunt.
Also note that the article states that diet alone is a most effective weight loss method. Not a fad diet, a long term, balanced diet of whole clean foods.
Later on in the article:
The major flaw here was so severely restricting the calories of the study group. For somoene who needs 2200 calories, giving them 1200 will cause them to retain fat. Why? Cortisol levels. Such extreme measures cause your body to go into “starvation mode” and fight gainst losing any of it’s precious fat.
Even though aerobic exercise may not “significantly promote weight loss,” however dubious that claim is, it will improve your cardiovascular health. That is a big concern for overweight people as well. Once again, anyone interested should check www.johnstonefitness.com. Go to the forums as well, to see others who have lost weight eating right and exercising.
Everything in moderation, including weight loss.
a) Yes I did assume that you are fat and I still believe so.
b) Now you are the one making the assumption. Where in my post did I say that you thought being underweight was a good thing? However, I did assume that you mentioned you were underweight in an attempt to pretend that you weren’t fat.
c) I did assume that you were a woman. But you know what? It doesn’t matter either way. Men can be bitches as well, and I still think that you’re a bitch.
If I had wanted to lie I could have just as easily said that I’m an average weight.
But anyway, here’s something to ponder: you’ve previously stated that you’re not attacking fat people in general, just fat people who live unhealthy lifestyles and complain about their weight. So fine. However, it’s interesting how in response to my posts, you’ve been freely throwing around the ‘fat’ label- regardless of its accuracy in this case- as if overweight and stupid are somehow equivalent. It’s also clear that you can’t imagine a non-obese person defending overweight people.
Moroeover, if I was actually fat, how would you know if I fit the definition of the type of person you described in the OP? How would you know what my eating habits were? I guess you couldn’t. You seem to enjoy making broad generalizations about groups of people. :rolleyes:
Yes, but if you wanted to separate yourself even further from fat people, saying that you’re underweight is even better, isn’t it?
You are putting words in my mouth. I wasn’t freely throwing around the ‘fat’ label . . . I was specifically directing it toward you.
Here’s something for you to ponder: you were quick to directly insult me immediately after my original post.
Remember that one? Being that the first words of yours that I ever read were “fuck off,” I was hardly inspired to be remotely respectful toward you. Being that you were so sensitive to the ‘fat’ topic, I specifically used ‘fat’ as an insult toward you. So it was not a broad generalization toward fat people, it was a specific insult toward you, not because fat = bad, but because fat = piss you off.
This is nothing more than an appeal to rally support for yourself. “Hey everybody . . . this guy says that all fat people are stupid!” I never implied that overweight people were stupid. I specifically stated that you were stupid. You are taking my insults toward you and projecting it on fat people, which is your problem, not mine.
Once again, you are trying to accuse me of making broad generalizations from very specific descriptions. My OP was about the women at work . . . it was not a broad generalization! You’re trying to turn it into one. My assumptions about your weight/eating habits/laziness were insults directed at you . . . not broad generalizations! And you deserved the insults, too. What else would you expect when the first thing you do is tell me to fuck off?
I think it’s funny that you start your entries in this thread saying to fuck off, call me a pig fucker and a fucking moron, and now you’re trying to pretend that you are this mature and politically correct defender of the wrongly oppressed.
So, to you Admiral Thistlebottom, I say fuck you and fuck your mom. (This was a direct insult towards your mother, not all mothers.)
And I shan’t forget to roll my eyes at you once more . . .
Aren’t fat people, like chronic smokers, helping to make sure that health insurance will cost as much as it does? I’m talking irresponsibly fat people like the OP mentions, those who continually eat horrible junk food and exercise little if at all. That’s how being a fat slob concerns me.
If you smoke or drink all your life and then, surprise surprise!, find out you have lung cancer, liver cancer, emphysema or god knows what else-isn’t that partly your fault? Couldn’t that have been prevented somewhat? Nobody forced you to drink or smoke, but know we all have to pay the price with absurd medical care costs. (I realize this is just one cause for this, but it certianly contributes)
Is being obese that much different? True, there are some people who can eat very little and exercise much and still hold on to their fat. But I see many fat people clinging to this bullshit excuse, and frankly, it’s wearing thin.
Are you telling me there is nothing you can do to eat better, exercise some and try to have a relatively healthy lifestyle so that you don’t have a heart attack at 30?
Obesity clearly causes a whole list of medical problems, which can be very exspensive to treat later on, but ones that are also PREVENTABLE.
