People seriously need to get out and exercise sometime, I cannot see how they stand to be the way they are. I'm no perfect ultra strong with no body fat type of guy, but I'm healthy.

I was talking to one of my friends that has just come over from Austria, and hes like people told me in Ausrtira that all American people were fat. He said they were almost right.

My girlfriend has a 27 year old uncle living with her and her parents and he has to weigh about 450 pounds. He just sits around watching Golden Girls all day(I kid you not). They are gonna kick him out if he doesn't get a job, but due to his Obesity he really cannot. He eats and eats and eats, but only when no ones there..

That will be all, but please people.. Eat Healthy and Excersie.. alot..

The unhealthy things I do eat, I eat in moderation. For instance potato chips. I can't stand to just sit there with a bag of potato chips gorging myself. I'll eat them as a condiment on a big sandwich, and that'll be my dinner. Or I'll eat a small bowl full.

It's not like I'm thinking "Oh I better stop eating potato chips or i'll get fat", I simply get sick of eating them.

And while I'm not the most active person either, I am mindful of my physical condition. I'll walk to the corner market instead of driving. I'll do pushups or situps some nights before bed.

Really, unless you're genetically predisposed, I don't see any excuse to be obese if you don't want to be.

Sometimes, I'll have something like a few slices of pizza during the normal hours of the day. But during the meal I do eat(dinner), I could eat half to 3/4s of a large.

Ever since school ended, I've been losing weight. And I ate bought lunches. Just goes to show what kinda crap they put in that stuff.

Exactly what happened here. I used to weight 170 pounds during school. I now weigh 147 pounds and will never go back to like I was at school.

Like I said, I'm no person that only eats like one peice of letteuce a day.. I eat Pizza every now and then. I also go out to eat and have alot of steak, but I do watch my junk food intake.

The great part of being skinny now is I've been asked to model clothes for alot of stores!! Free clothes, and getting paid!!!

Not driving helps too, I ride a bike around town everyday

If I'm on the computer, though I don't get much excercise, I just do NOT eat junk food except the occasional pringle or whatever. But I admit that the only excercise I get is walking, usually.

If we'd all switch to beer, we'd be far better off.

I ment people that are blatently to big for their build. People that can barly sit up, barly move, etc.

No one is ever gonna be perfect, there will always be the bigger and skinner version of that 'perfect' build. But some people just need to lose some weight.

I think somethingawful says it best: http://www.somethingawful.com/archives/news-archive-23-6-2002.htm

I know I'm overweight.

While I -do- have a heavy bone structure (big-boned, if you will) like my Dad, I'm STILL very overweight.

I'm working, slowly, on loosing the weight. Taking tuna fish instead of eeting lunch at the pretzel place at work..

And since I am walking / standing 8 hours or more a day, exercise is on the upswing. ^_^ Thing is though, i know it's gonna take a long time. and I'm trying to stop eeting binges (ugh), and think of more healthy things.

Weee. =/

I'm kinda chubby, but I'm starting to work out. Alot.

She doesn't eat junk, but her metabolism is slow.

I'm a freaking stick. My metabolism is like Mach 2. I eat something, and it's gone, and I have to eat more. I eat leagues more in a day than Deth, although he can eat more in one sitting. I'm constantly munching on things throughout the day, and I had to carry things around in my pocket during marching band or I would pass out from lack of food under all that exertion.

So sometimes it's not eating too much, or lack of exercise. It's quite often your metabolism working against you.

You are INVINCIBLE!#^*$

Gikky pwnz me. kthxla~

Sure, I know I need to exercise. But ya know what? Im not a bad person or anything sinply because im not skinny or anything.

Tell me why it matters to YOU if "america is fat", hmm?

I'm 6'2" and down to 170, and I pig out a lot, but am like what Mara described in his post.

I change my stance completely.

I just was shocked to see that most country's sterotype us as the 'fat nation' or something to that extent.

I'm not shallow, but looks do matter. I'm not saying a person is the devil because they are fat, I'm just saying.. Why not take care of yourself more? This does not include the people with natural reasons of being obese.

Sorry if I offended anyone, wasn't really ment to be like that.

I am seriously overweight.

I am 5'9, and I weigh ~ 270 lbs.

You can bite me. it's not cause I'm a lazy ass, or don't care about myself or how I look.

It's my life. I'm working on fixing it.

"Keep your nose out of other people's business"

Im what would be called "Seriously overweight" too. 6'0", about 320 pounds. When Im ready to, Ill go and work on losing the weight. Till then, wtf does it matter if I am happy with myself?

Good point, I will shutup now.

If I cut down on junk food, it'll be because *I* want to.

If I excercise, it'll be because *I* think it's fun and *I* want to do it. (and I am getting pool urges again... wondering if I can rejoin that gym and make use of their wonderful uncrowded well-maintained (as opposed to public, overcrowded, filled with lichen and volunteer lifeguards pools) swimming facilities)

Note that I can still get around. Note that I still look HUMAN (as opposed to "gaping hellbeast-like"). Note that I might even appear sexy.

It's my goddamned choice.

I don't like the intolerant attitude toward people being overweight that you took.

That's why I dislike your stance.

Giantt impressed everyone with:
I don't really like Kirane's attitude, even though I'm not obese at all.

I'm inclined to agree with Giantt. I come from a very, very large family. In fact, I'm the only one in my family who is not 230+ pounds. Its not their fault, you know.

Just because someone is overweight doesnt mean they are unhappy. Some people prefer NOT to be the standard weight, and they better like being over. Nothing wrong with that.

America DOES have a higher ratio of heavyweight people than other countries, but ya know what?

Its cause we have a relatively rich economy and we can afford to be fat.

Azakias steps off her soapbox.

People that nitpick about other peoples weight irks me to no end. Its almost as annoying as those skinny toothpick people claiming they're fat.

FLAEMZ0R!@#~!~~

My health isn't your business. Anyone's business. So long as I have my own health insurance, I'm not costing you money. The only person who can get on me is my significant other, because I choose to have her in my life. I can even tell the rest of my family to shove off.

And people getting on your case about it will probably just piss you off more if you're overweight. Or smoking. Or drinking. Or have a phobia of something. An individual getting over something like that isn't done for you. Nor should it be. They should do it for themselves, at their own pace, when they're ready. And for no other reason should they do it, you dumbass.

Doesn't matter if the cause is depression (I particularly thought you were out of line including depression in things, Kirane, and I'll get to that in a minute, have no fear), or biochemical (there's medical proof that the body sabotages attempts to diet), or anything else. It doesn't hurt you, back the fuck off. Your relatives don't have to listen to you any more than you have to listen to them. You're not wiser, smarter, or anymore sagelike for being thin, skinny, or in shape, dolt.

Now let's talk about your comment on depression. First off, you stupid fuck, people with depression can't just "get happy" and give up their bad habits. Clinical depression is a biochemical condition. Non-clinical depression can in some ways be trickier and harder to spot. Unlike clinical depression, you can't just shoot medications at it. You have to understand what's wrong, what's stressing them or bothering them or hurting them and you have to find some resolution to it. Start from a base of strength rather than one of weakness, moron.

Furthermore, the attitude "I don't like people being fat, get happy you overweight, depressed slobs" is a really stupid one because accusatory, degrading tones are the last thing you want to throw at people in a fragile emotional state. Idiot.

You may have noticed that I've ended almost every paragraph with an insult. You have have noticed I've scattered them through the commentary I've made. Guess what? That irritation you're feeling at someone who doesn't know you telling you what to do? The guy insulting you who doesn't know you? That's how I imagine a lot of overwight people feel when idiots go sticking their nose where it doesn't fucking belong

I'm overweight. I smoke, and I drink.

And you know what folks? I'm happy. As long as I'm happy, I will keep smoking, drinking, and being overweight.

I can't see why it's anyone's business to tell me what to do. If you don't like obese people, then keep you trap shut. A lot of obese people damn well realise they are, and a lot of them try to lose weight, but can't due to various reasons.

I used to go through some rather wack mood swings. I'd eat because I was unhappy, then I got unhappy because I ate and got fat. Rinse and repeat.

Until I decided that personally, I didn't give a flying fuck what anyone else thought of the way I look.

By God, I'm fat - and proud of it. I like my fat. It's mine.

If I live 10 years less than the average human, so be it - at least I was happy during my life and didn't bow down to the know-it-alls who think they can tell everyone what to do.

In closing, I'd like to deliver a hearty "go away and die, plzkthx" to Kirane. I don't think you realise it, but your statements were DAMN irritating to read, and pissed me off greatly.

Computer, End rant.

<Fizo> Eat! Eat! You are too skinny! It's unhealthy! You need to take better care of yourself! You need some meat on those bones!
