Fat-acceptance groups fight back....

I mean no offense by this topic..... but I saw this title in our newspaper today so I had to read the story.

Anyway, I don't have the article here to post up. The sum of the article (in my words) is that "obese" people are mad about the Health associations about telling them to diet... get exercise...etc. They feel like they are being attacked because they are fat.... and they just want to be accepted.

Now call me crazy, but wouldn't you WANT to exercise and diet if you are obese? I mean.... shouldn't that what you would want to be healthy?
IMO people are fighting it because they are tired of hearing how they should exercise...eat right..etc.. I mean...... talk about a contradiction to the problem at hand.

maybe I am reading the article wrong, but who else sees this as ridiculous?

"yeah! Screw you health officials.... I Want to be unhealthy... I don't want to exercise, and I want to eat all the crap I want when I want. So what if I die a horrible death due to being overweight when I could have dieted and exercised and saved my life. Diabetes.... who cares."

Sorry.... the article just struck me a little odd... thats all.

Well, I think they just mean that there are tons of other health risks in the world, and they feel like their problem is being singled out. I don't agree with them though, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc., affect the majority of people, so that's why their problem is being targeted, because it affects most people. Not because we're trying to be mean...
 
theres a lot of people who are completely comfortable being 400 pounders and don't want or plan on being healthy. This is there life choice as they see it and are sick of being baggered all the time to lose weight.

I have a very good view of this because my sister-inlaw is a HUGE like past 400 pounds and is completely comfortable with her weight and see's no reason to lose weight. Then shes married to my brother and he WANTS and TRYS to workout, exercise to be healthy but she keeps on shoving the fat at him. BTW he has lost 160 pounds before but gained it back because of her which is extremely unhealthy. actually he has lost his weight twice and is now FAT again but is trying atleast to lose it while she will NOT join in on any of the activites that invole exercise but has no problem walking through the mall to spend money.

there is also a whole other wrap of problems going on that i will not going into, but my brother is blond with blue eyes and thats the other reason she wants him FAT, unatractable to any other woman. I'll stop here before i start blabing on about that mess anymore
 
ppl that annoye me are the ppl that complain about there weight but dont want to do anything about it.

Ya some ppl are happy with the way are, others aren't.

Its not always easy losing the weight, im not just say this, im know its not

Im not telling u my weight but lets just say im more than i should be for my height.

And yes im trying to do something about it, i hate the way i am i have been picked on alll the way thro school till i left at the age of 18, damn some times i even get it now and im 21 now.
 
I've always had the opposite problem. I have an extremely high metabolism, and can't gain a single pound. I've always been of "anorexic" weight for my height but anyone that knows me knows that I eat all the time. I've finally started goin to a gym and drinking protein shakes and whatnot just to put on a few pounds.

Sounds familiar...

I'm kinda plump, but i'm cutting back on snacks, and how that i'm growing taller, it's starting to distribute the stuffs.
And yes sometimes i get picked on at school, but my atitude keeps me in the middle...
 
I'm a small person in general. I weigh almost nothing compared to most people in my age group, who almost all can lift me up single handedly. And until I started to get taller, short jokes always applied to me.
 
I'm pretty average. Not too thin but not too thick, either. I've cut back on soda lately but that's about it. I don't really have a reason to get any thinner than I already am.

I think it's more irritating when people who are already skinny are obsessed with becoming thinner. Not anorexics or bulemics (that's a mental thing); just people who are skinny but latch on to every new diet. Some of my coworkers get annoying because they are skinny little things and yet they're always like "Atkins this, gym that." I want to be like, "You guys look great already, I don't know why you obsess so much."
 
Well, it's all just sugar water anyway. The only drink that's really "healthy" for you is water. Apple and Orange juices and stuff like that are good too but if you're eating healthy you don't need all the vitamins and minerals and stuff they cram into them. Just eat an apple and have a glass of water instead.
