Nah, I’m about to crack open a bottle of scotch and go watch the Oscar pregame show. After that I may go pick up a couple of strippers and relive the good old days, being nowhere near as infirm as you seem to think. But first, a couple of quick comments:
I never said you tried to convince everyone how hot you are…or should I say not in this thread anyway.
Having never seen a photo of Una I have no idea if she’s hot or not. The comment was aimed at you.
One can only imagine. If I were you I’d just stick with the actual buttplug. I wouldn’t even mind a photo.
BTW…The URL is dated back in 07…now I’m not good in math, but that’s AT LEAST 2 years ago (dunno when it was taken) I am quite sure she has gotten a job since then, given she’s already said that upthread.
Oops. Yeah, you’re right. I saw the Feb. 19th and thought it was a recent post. My bad.
Still, she was out of work for a year and “fucking broke” at the time so the main point still stands.
Plus you need to understand that there is longstanding mutual animus between Shot From Guns and your truly. She’s just as quick to bust my ass when she can.
I think Shot From Guns is cool. I thought she was male till I saw the photo, I don’t care what the photo looks like, she’s female, has attitude and a heart beat, that’s good enough for me. Anyway, she doesn’t have fat legs, she has PHAT legs, awesome.
Edit: I also fully support her OP. Countries experiencing famine don’t have fat people.
Yeah, so? Are you saying that proves ‘fat people’ would lose their excess weight if they really tried? If they really wanted to? That it’s just a matter of will power?
No, I say that fat people will lose weight if they eat less (which you apparently agree with.) How they achieve that is their problem, but don’t try and say that you’ve tried eating less and it didn’t work, or that you eat less and you still put on weight. If that’s the case then you were still eating too much, it’s not that “eating less” didn’t work, it’s that you didn’t do it properly.
If it’s physically impossible for these people to lose weight then why are Australians and Americans so fat but the British aren’t? It’s all the same genetic stock, the difference is lifestyle, and when it comes to lifestyle you’re talking about choices and decisions. “I don’t want to walk up these stairs because there is an elevator I can use instead”, “I don’t want to walk to the shop because it takes too long”, “I like eating food while browsing the net because it feels nice and comfy”, “I’m going to eat McDonalds instead of making my own more healthy food because I can’t be fucked cooking for myself.” Lazy. Lazy. Lazy. Sedentary lifestyle. It’s all too difficult. Bla bla bla.
There is only one person who has any chance of controlling this, and that’s you (general you.)
Now I’m no great specimen myself, but at least I realise it’s because I like eating food and I find it difficult to motivate myself to do exercise for its own sake. It’s all me, no one else is responsible for what I look like.
Personally I think it’s related to a general lack of personal responsibility in society. If something goes wrong there must be someone or something to blame.
I won’t disagree with the overall point that weight gain is caused by eating too much/not exercising enough. But there is a common perception that the difference is between eating a reasonably healthy diet, and going to McDonald’s and slamming back cheeseburgers all day long.
Really, all it takes to gain significant weight over a long period of time is maybe an extra serving or two of lunch or dinner every day. When I was calorie-counting, I was quite surprised to find that an amount of food I had previously considered appropriate and healthy was actually way too many calories for what I should be eating. And it’s not that I was eating way past when I stopped being hungry, either.
Anyway, I think that’s where a lot of the disconnect comes from in people who say, “I eat a healthy diet and I’m still gaining weight” or whatever. It’s not necessarily that they’re lying and going to Burger King to get a triple Whopper with extra lard every day for lunch (although I guess they could be). It’s that they don’t realize that the extra couple tablespoons of salad dressing and the cheese and the olives on their nominally healthy lunchtime salad are pushing them over their calorie requirement for the day. Or whatever.
I can’t believe I’m trying to make a reasonable post on page 9 of a “hey fatties” thread on the SDMB. It must be Monday or something.
So when are you posting your picture for our viewing pleasure? The OP may have been a touch brusque with her OP but at least she has the balls to put her picture out there. You seem to delight in commenting on it - I assume your picture will be up shortly for us to enjoy. Or can you dish out the shit, but can’t take it?
Look, one of the biggest problems some of us on the SDMB have about the obesity issue is that there is a subgroup of people on here which have in the past argued that even if they consume “only 400 calories per day”, they somehow keep gaining weight. And when you try to explain to them about the First Law and basal metabolic rate and so forth they start throwing out pseudo-scientific bullshit gleaned from “fat apologist” blogs about “starvation mode” etc., still not realizing that what they’re saying is impossible. IIRC there was a big fight early in this board’s history over someone who claimed they ate NOTHING, as in 0 calories, for 2 weeks, and gained weight, and they had a “doctor verify” it. All couched in the same pseudo-scientific wiggle-waggle that had heads nodding on this board “oh yeah sister, I’ve had the same thing happen.” :rolleyes:
And when someone posts something like that, I don’t see a lot of folks calling them on it.
And then there’s the issue of being able to judge portion sizes and calories, because people are absolutely rotten at it. Even I am - I’ve done self-experiments where I found that I misjudged calories by about 20-25% (under) over a multi-week period. I posted a collection of citations a couple of times on this message board showing tests where overweight people claimed they were “only eating X calories per day!” but really were eating 1.5X or even 2X per day." And you know what it got me? I was flamed mercilessly in the “friendlocked” Livejournals of several “funny and kewl BBW Dopers”, one of them threatened to use her “connections” to find out where I lived, and her Doper boyfriend (who “loved” her so much, but was cheating with another BBW Doper at the time, oh, the irony…) threatened to “kill” me. Kill me for the “crime” of posting a list of citations proving people are crap at estimating portion sizes and calories and “accusing (his) girlfriend of lying.” Think about that for a second. Sound like a sane person? One of the parties still posts here. They might even be in this very thread.
That’s the sort of mentality on the Dope that some people object to - not just the denial of fact, but the vehement and violent denial of fact. I won’t even talk to the apologists any more; why go through the harassment? The way I’ve been treated, I have nothing but contempt for their fantasy world of denial, and most if not all of them are on my exceedingly lengthy Ignore list.
