Fat people.

When you're so fat that you can't walk straight and woddle back and forth sideways, and can't even stand up still for over a minute, so you have to ask me to use my chair so you can sit down to catch your breath because you just walked ten feet (and don't get up till it's time to leave the store), don't you feel weird about that? Don't you want to be able to walk around like your friends can? Don't you want to be able to run, if you had to? (from the police) Don't you want to be able to walk in a straight line? For those moments when you get pulled over and have to walk a straight line (if you can even fit behind the wheel).

How do you let yourself GO like that? Isn't there a point in your life where you say to yourself "Hey, I'm gaining a lot of weight" or "Hey I weight twice as much as I did last year" or "Wow my chin disappeared" ? Normal sized people don't eat bowls of butter, don't you realize that? Don't you look at yourself in the mirror when you get out of the shower? You didn't look like that when you were a young adult, so I KNOW YOU KNOW something is wrong.

I'll say it loud - I'M FAT AND I'M PROUD!!!

Fuck a bunch of skinny. I love not wearing coats all winter.

I'm talking, obese fat. Like, three hundred pounds +

I can understand letting yourself go, from stress, or, problems, for a few years, and getting out of shape, and putting on like, fifty pounds TOPS but...

What is the excuse for weighing over three hundred pounds?

[zymote]

Cuz eatin's fun.

Is it like an "activity" to you? Plan your whole day around eatin?

[david austin]

i think it has more to do with the inability to stop and take action. you always hear very overweight people talking about they wish they could get the motivation or want to start at a given date... they just never do and it keeps adding up.

i guess its the same way depression is. you know you need to take action but you never actually take action. until you have some sort of intervention you will continue down the spiral.

[Robin T. Fine]

So it's like an addiction, like a drug addiction, except instead of being a druggie, they're addicted to eating, and are fatties. They can't stop, and don't want to stop, because eating makes them feel "good" and "happy".

I guess I understand. A junky looks in the mirror and says "what am I doing with my life?" just the same way an obese person probably looks in the mirror and says "how did I get so freakin massively whale-ish?"

Good point D.A

That and diabetes or other health related issues that might not be easily controlled can make people blow up too. Although I know that being obese can cause an onset of diabetes as well.

I'm with you though Robin, I don't understand how some people can let themselves go that far. I get that some people have health issues they can't control or sometimes it might be hereditary and they just can't help it, but the lazy ones that bitch about being fat but keep shoveling food in their mouths get no sympathy from me.

Shit....I've been trying to gain weight for the past five + years!

Shit.....you're skinny too!

I fucking hate being this skinny and tall! It's so hard to find pants small enough in the waist and long enough in the legs.

I've met girls who seriously asked me what I do to say so skinny, and I'm like please dude....I would give anything to have an extra 30lbs on me right now maybe even more!

I'd like to have an ass and some titties for once in my life lol

[BradH]

good thing i weigh 299

[matias]

[Chode_OhSnap]

245 last time I checked.



But I DO NOT waddle.
Nor do I mouth breath.
Nor do I gasp at walking across the room.

I do however have X-large pants.

Miles you aren't fat, nor do you walk from side to side like an enormous penguin.
