I've been reading many of the posts pertaining to Christy's obesity. The majority of the respondents seem sympathetic toward her and scornful of her husband.
I can only assume the reason for the above, is that probably most of the respondents are overweight or obese themselves.
Nevertheless, let's talk real here.
When someone becomes fat or obese, lots of things about their physical as well as emotional self change.
1. When someone becomes fat or obese, so does their tongue.
So when they go to bed and lie down on their back, all the extra fat within the neck area and the increased size of the tongue all falls back into the throat, often causing breathing problems as the throat area becomes blocked by fat. One of the results of this is snoring, loud snoring. Another result is sleep apnia, and the fat person consequently needing to sleep with a contraption over their face making them sound and look like Darth Vader. This noisy device helps them to breathe through the night as they sleep.
Now I ask you, does this sound like a sexy sight? Is this what you envisioned for yourself and your mate when you hooked up with them?
2. When someone becomes fat or obese, they are in constant pain.
ALL obese (and most fat) people live in chronic pain. People who are in pain are not in the mood to be fun or sexy. And they usually don't even feel like any unnecessary movement at all. The pain is screaming loud and clear from the extra stress on their joints and bones. The extra pounds they drag around cause them to be slow and lumbering in their movements.
Does this sound like someone who would be creative and inventive during romantic moments? Does it sound like someone who would even be interested in romantic moments at all? Orteven a jog around the block? Probably not!
3. For the fat or obese person, there is a strong emotional component to living with chronic pain, causing the fat or obese person to be depressed, short-tempered, sleep-deprived, irritable, angry, and sorry for themselves.
Does this sond like someone who will be an upbeat, energetic and interesting person to be around? Does this sound like the person you would intentionally choose as the parent of your child? I think not.
So, for all you people out there who continue to feel sorry for Christy who has packed on an extra 90 pounds, and for those of you who continue to blame her husband for not being supportive enough, try getting fit yourselves. Fill up your plate, then cut the portion in half and scrape it off for the dog. Eat less and exercise more and reduce your weight until you are proud of the way you look and feel. Then, if you can actually do this, let's see if you still want to baby Christy for her over-eating choices.
Let me describe the mental image I received while reading your hateful message.
You are in your 20s, you are male, you are egotistical and self absorbed, you are always looking for a quick, no-strings-attached encounter with anyone you perceive as "attractive" (your place or mine). You are boring and you could be neater and cleaner than you generally are. You frequent bars way too much and know more about football than the world situation.
That is the impression I get.......how close am I?
You don't sound like anyone I want to be in the same room with.
