Fatties and their Haters

I quoted it, so that people could understand where I was borrowing the term, "always take it to the extreme."

Then may I suggest that further clarification might be in order in future circumstances so as to avoid a quoted entity perceiving a post as a direct response?

I get sick of hearing this shit "I can't loose weight" "Diets don't work for me" *insert generic "it's not my fault"*

Seriously, unless you have a medical reason, yes it bloody well is your fault,

People can loose weight, but people don't want to put in effort, they want a quick fix, so they go for stomach banding, or gastric bypass and if they can't get the quick fix complain it's not their fault, instead of maning the fuck up, stopping eating all the shit, eat sensibly and moderate portions and do some fucking exercise.


As to dieting, it does work, to an extent, but weight loss can only be achieved and maintained by a change in lifestyle, cutting out sugar and carbs, hitting the gym, that will loose weight, but when you stop dieting, you have to keep going to the gym and not go back to your old eating habits,

I love you.

I realize there are medical exceptions out there, and I feel for those people. It must be very frustrating and depressing.

However, for the vast majority out there? Yeah. What he said.

I've kind of avoided this thread a bit because it really does get me down. People say to me all the time, "Man, how do you keep your weight down?" And when I tell them (Atkins...no, not the diet, the LIFESTYLE) their eyes glaze over and they all of a sudden don't want to talk about it anymore. They go "oh, well, you're lucky, you have a fast metabolism." Well, guess what? No I freaking don't.

People no not want to hear that it is within their grasp. They don't want to hear that they have the power to change. Because all of sudden, that would make them responsible for their situation. And they'd rather be anything than that.

I don't even try to help people anymore. It's a huge waste of my time. And all it gets me is yet another irritating person who feels the need to, for whatever reason, apologize to ME for their choices. "Oh, I was naughty today" they say, sucking down a biggie coke. Like it's MY ass that is going to pop the seams in my damn jeans instead of theirs.

I feel like if you are happy at your size, and you are healthy, then you owe no one a damn thing. You do NOT need to change to fit into someone else's idea of what you should be. Women have to put up with enough of that shit every single day. However, if you are unhealthy, if you are unhappy, you want to change for your own reasons, then by all means change. Do it. Because in most cases, you can.
