People who want rescued get help
Quote From: brandid
- Yes, I do believe that genetics do have some to do with obesity however; I am offended at the "boo-hooing" statement you have made here. Yes, I was obese and I have lost 160 lbs and I have 40 lbs to go to get to my weight. When I was morbidly obese I did not blame anyone else but myself. I am the one who put the food in my mouth. Yes, I had issues and I had to learn to deal with them differently but my familty was not yielding to my desires or helping create a lethargic existence. My family DID encourage me to not eat so much, to go for walks, to exercise more, all of it. I am the one who choose not to. So how dare you judge people you do not even know! You do not live their live and you do not know what they are going through every single second. You are not in their minds, hearts and homes. Until you know first hand maybe you should not talk about it at all. And if you have been obese or you are obese then shame on you. Do not judge families of or the obese because I GAURANDAMMTEEE that they are doing a much harder judging job on themselves than you ever could. See you are part of the problem. You see, it is people like you that make me sick! Instead of talking junk maybe you could find a way to help instead of criticizing. That would be a much better solution!!! Obese people do not need RESCUEING they need people like you to leave them the hell alone!!
My point is that the people boo-hooing to me are the ones not getting help and I am glad these ladies are getting help from Dr.Phil. And I think it's wrong to make fun of obese people, I didn't judge them either. All I said was that her family is adding to the bad habits she has, which Dr. Phil so politely included, if you watched the show. She had a refrigerator in her room and everyone ate on her bed. That's not healthy for any of them. Sometimes also if you are made fun of about something (it could be anything in life), it will piss you off enough to do something about it. I'm not condoning making fun of anyone, but different things motivate different people in different ways. I hope I did piss you off and it made you so mad that you're ready to live differently and stop choosing to not try. I hope that you understand I'm not criticizing, I'm critiquing the attitude of not being willing and not doing better for your personal self and goals. And if people like yourself would stop judging yourself so harshly, then maybe the stress won't get to you so bad when other people say bad things and you will be able to overcome your problems. I have people who are hateful to me for no reason, but I recognize that I have to accept who I am and it only matters what God thinks, not the world. I hope you can stop the cycle of self-condemnation and grow up.
