I also wear size 14, keep active and busy every day, and to repeat what I said in an earlier post, I walk two miles every night and go for a workout or lap swimming every weekend. I don’t sit in front of a TV stuffing myself with grease and chocolate truffles. Yet I doubt very much that I will ever get myself down to a single-digit size. If I were half the age I am now, maybe that would be possible.
Believe me, I know this. I never said that I was the object of ridicule etc, I am merely defending those others who have been. I never said I don’t work out all, I merely said that many people don’t have 3 hours a day - personally, I give the treadmill a flex when it’s too dark outside to walk my daily 4kms, (which is usually to work and back home). Again, merely defending the right of people to live how they wish without judgement.
Ultimately, everyone is a target - you’re thin and and you smoke (health risk); you’re fat and out of shape (health risk), you’re in perfect shape yet drive like a fuckwit (health risk), you take unecessary risks with drugs (health risk), you look like you’re in good shape but nobody knows how much you secretly drink (health risk).
Vinyl - you’re a class act aren’t you. The last skinny bitch my husband banged was me, and now he’s grateful he’s not opening his skin on my hip bones.
Successful trolls are successful. Yet again.
Well, given the amount of crap I get for being a smoker (a skinny smoker), I think you ought to grin and bear it. 
I’m kidding, of course. That’s a very good point.
I’m not sure why this is a problem, as all of these statements are basically true.
I guess the issue is how much flak one should catch for indulging in health-risky behaviour. My own thought is that it should be in purportion to the amount it affects other people (thus logically, those who drive like fuckwits should get the most as they are putting others at risk).
Being fat only affects other a small amount (being confined in public spaces for example), and so should not rate much. I suppose the issue is that those who weigh more than the average receive more than their share of public flak - their being overweight really doesn’t affect others much and so really isn’t anyone elses’ business, except in those rare cases where their size is really an issue (an airline flight for example).
From my own experience (and just looking at the replies here) I know that being nagged about unhealthy behaviour (or worse, distained because of it) doesn’t really make one want to change it - instead, it is the natural human impulse to justify it as either (1) not really unhealthy or (2) beyond your control.
"opening his skin on my hip bones"
What does this even mean? 
What is your point, exactly? Your husband was attracted to you and proposed marriage when you were slim and fit. After the wedding, then proceeded to eat yourself in obesity and you claim he loves it? Umm, if he were actually attracted to fat women don’t you think he would have proposed to a fat girl instead of you back then?
Have you ever actually asked him if he’d prefer that you lost some weight?
In copulation, the angularity of her protruding hip bones causing abrasion to the partner, if I had to guess.
First of all - I stand at 5 foot 2 and currently weight 65 kilos - which is classed by most BMIs to be obese and makes me a size 12 - 14. I have been this weight for 3 years. 4 years ago when I met my husband I weighed 48 kilos, having been sick for some time and was on the mend. My huband stands at 6 foot 3 and currently weighs 110 kilos - which classes him as obese by the classic standard. My point is that skinny, fat, fit, thin - that it really shouldn’t matter as ultimately you will be judged and loved for the person you are. I think that if I had four heads and a tail that he would still love me.
And no, I didn’t eat myself into obesity, my weighed plateaued about 3 years ago and hasn’t changed at all. I don’t eat chocolate, biscuits or sweets, I don’t eat anything dairy, I don’t like white bread. But good wines, beers and select salamis are my thing.
And prior to meeting me he was going out with a woman who stood at 6 foot and was a classic size 10 - and in his own words “a screeching fucking harpy, happy with nothing and no-one”.
Completely - we laugh a lot, we cook together, we go on hikes and long walks, and next summer we’re determined to learn how to surf. We build stuff together and restore furniture together, go fishing, play boardgames and fiddle with photography together. We play footy and cricket with our son, support him in his newest acting adventure, support him during school sports and the three of us make a very happy little family. It’s all what you make it.
Thanks!
Don’t be silly.
Honestly, can’t a woman add a third to her bodyweight in a year without someone like you giving her a hard time? :rolleyes:
Look, I had a hard enough time figuring out kilos… now we’re supposed to do fractions?
I just checked two BMI calulators, and they both returned a value of about 26 for your height and weight. While this puts you in the overweight range, it doesn’t make you obese. Obesity is a BMI of 30 or more for most people.
Yeah, a third of one’s body weight is a substantial gain. Except you kinda missed that whole “had been ill for some time and was just beginning to recover” part.
