Topic : 05/14 "I'm Hot, You're Not"

Todayisforever, alot of it comes from the media constantly repeating the notion that fat people can and should be able to control their weight. This is not true, and serves only to make money for the diet industry.

Everyone has a set-point weight, at which they're the most healthy. If you diet your body goes into starvation mode, and stores more fat. When your body finally gets tired of you starving yourself, and you start to eat normally again, you gain the weight  you lost back plus the weight from the fat that was stored during your starvation period.

I really think you should join the fat acceptance community. I unfortunetly cannot provide a link here, but search fat acceptance in whatever search engine you use. You are not the only one outraged, you might feel better joining others who feel exactly how you do.

I feel sorry for her too.  Not only she will miss Mr Right, but she is missing a lot in her life.

I think she is ashamed of her life,and her attitude is just a masquerade.  She didn't want Dr. Phil's crew to film her in her apt. which means it's pretty poor place.  If she spends 75% of her income in looking good, most likely she does not have furniture and a nice place to live. 

Sad, sad, sad.  No more masquerades Shenek!!

I really don't think she is pretty.  I am sorry, but for me pretty is someone like Princess Diana or Princess Grace of Monaco.  This girl is ugly. 

I have a bil. who weighs about 350, he works 60+ hours a week on his feet (not lazy at all)

Does he need to lose weight for his health, bad heart? Yes. Does he need to lose weight because it upset others and their social issues they have? NO. Does he need to be a lean mean six pack machine? NO,

Can we all be judged on issue we have, but can't be seen? and would we want to be judged and should we be judged for are bad habits? Just because he wears his bad habit where we can see it, does that give us the right to judge it? NO. Their is so much more to him then the size of his pants!!!!! remember he is not asking you to carry is extra weight around, or pay his doctor bills!!! so you suffer nothing from his weight,

I agree with you, except for the part where you state that being fat is because of people having bad eating habits. I eat very healthily, probably more healthily than people thinner than me. I'm still 220 pounds, I'm never going to weigh less unless I put my body through a strenuous starvation..I mean diet.

You cannot tell someone's health or eating habits by merely looking at them. Your husband's bad heart most likely is out of a genetic history, not him being fat. Alot of diseases attributed to fat, are more from genetic histories, people just don't get them as a consequence of being fat.

I have a very good doctor, he knows I'm healthy at the weight I am. He doesn't push diets on me, he doesn't claim I'm not eating well enough or not exercising enough. You know why? He wasn't taught in the US' fat propaganda spewing medical schools. He's from Korea. Appearantly in Korea, they still belive in the ancient concept that one can be healthy at whatever their natural size falls as.

Hey Janine,  I'm proud of you getting up there on stage and telling old girl the way it is. You were such a lady and were very classy. My daughter is a big girl to about 300 lbs and she is also proud to be big and she is also very confident just like you. Well take care and thanks for keep it real. Aloha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My bil. is my brother- in-law, not my hubby, lol. and I have meet and seen photes of his family and they are on the large side, and it is he who says he eats wrong, My sister in law and and her husband eat out all the time, NO kids as of yet, and they work all the time.

He is about 35 and he know he has to do something, like I said bad heart, that runs also in his family, his dad died in his early 50s he was large and he died from heart failure. so in his case he does need to do something or we will lose a great man.
