insensitive and ignorant

Quote From: themotivator

obesity is an expanding problem that needs to be dealt with.  The overweight women is in denial and causing  an unfair environment.   The first thing she should do is admit she is the problem and has a problem.  The body can only process food at a certain rate.  to keep eating is not solving the prolem..  As a truck driver I feel fuller standing up than sitting down which is when i eat.  To off set the prolem  i have started walking while my trailer is being loaded.  I have walked over 30 miles in the last 3 weeks.  This helps with the digestive system.  I have also have started drinking replacement meal such as slim fast.  It takes the first step to make a differance in life.  You are either part of the problem or part of the solution.  Failure is NOT a option.

Insensitivity and ignorance is an expanding problem that needs to be dealt with! The person who posted the above comments is uneducated about weight issues and is causing an unfair environment. The first thing the above poster should do is admit he is the problem and and has a problem. The human race can only process negativity at a certain rate. To keep judging is not solving the problem...

 

As an overweight person I am all to familiar with peoples ignorance, judgement, and complete insensitvity to this problem. These people know nothing of my medical or psychological history both of which are big factors in my being overweight. Often times these people have stupid suggestions for me like drink Slim Fast, assuming that this would help me without knowing my medical background. Others tell me to exercise more not having any idea what my life is like taking care of my household and kids. Nobody likes being overweight and I believe most people want to do things differently.

 

It takes positivity and support to make a difference in a persons life. You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. Failure is only an option if you believe in those who do not believe in you.

This reply seems to more about YOU as opposed to the women on the set.  Give it up - what, do you want a standing ovation for your accomplishments ?? Failure is not an option - it's the feeling of hopelessness.  I coudn't help notice your name was motivator.  I guess I should count my lucky stars that I don't have you motivating me !!!  In my opinion, it's arrogance that is causing an unfair environment - and it is opinions like this that MAKE people feel they are  failures.  Keep up the good work, maybe Dr. Phil can do a show on free advice.
