I am sick and tired of people complaining about their weight. I am sick of hearing how uhappy they are about being fat when every chance they get they are eating junk. Stop eating cookies, chips, take out…Food that makes you stay and get fat. Are you a dumbass? No wonder you are overweight! If you want to lose weight start trying to eat healthy foods that you make you feel better about yourself. Sure sometimes we all love to eat something that is not great for ourselfs, but if you eat shit food on a daily basis, you ARE going to be a fat ass. Stop complaining and get off that ass to lose that ass.
This is to all the people who are happy being fat. To all the people who love being fat, and stay happy and fat, all the power to you!!
TO the people who hate how they look, Start doing something about it besides eating, maybe just maybe you may be able to lose something fucking weight

Fuck you — it’s attitudes like yours that give people eating disorders or worse force those who have eating disorders to live in shame and fear.So fuck you, you insensitive prick. And learn to spell, jackass.
What attitude? The poster specifically said:”To all the people who love being fat, and stay happy and fat, all the power to you!!TO the people who hate how they look, Start doing something about it besides eating, maybe just maybe you may be able to lose something fucking weight “I agree with the original poster. If you’re going to complain about being fat yet aren’t willing to do something to change it (healthy, balanced eating and exercise) you really should stfu for a change. Nobody wants to hear about your weight problems which you are unwilling to do something about it.You do know that Atlantic Canadians are the fattest in Canada don’t you? People really should get their heads out of the sand and stop denying that there is a weight problem. Stop with the beer, chicken wings, pizza, donairs, cigarettes and Tim Hortons. Get out of the processed and prepackaged food section and start making proper meals. And get at least an hour or two of exercise per week!
Simple solutions from a simple mind. I guess you don’t have any idea what it’s like to be caught up in a cycle of shame, self-destruction and self-hatred. People need more understanding than “stop eating, fatty” to overcome this. Would you tell an alcoholic or a problem gambler to just stop? Would you be so disgusted by them or display so much hatred towards them?Not to mention all the other factors at play here: the cheapness and abundance of shitty food, the (sometimes overwheleming) pressure put on (women, in particular) to look a certain way and the consumption culture that we have to live in.Attitudes like yours and the original posters aren’t helpful — they demean and belittle people who are stuck in a self-destructive cycle of eating and hating.And have you genuises ever actually been fat? Have you ever had to buckle down and overcome that hurdle? It’s fucking hard and seemingly insurmountable. So save your pontificating. If you can’t understand the issues, at least try not to judge.
Yes, I have overcome that hurdle. It’s damn hard work and that’s why many people don’t bother. I walked an hour a day for a year and controlled my portions, cut out all junk food. Result? I lost over 50 pounds in that year. It wouldn’t hurt for people to have a little more discipline and self-control but we live in an instant gratification society so what can one expect? If you bow to outside pressures (the media and their view of perfect), you will never break the cycle.
Jennifer,So you’re putting the blame on society, and everything else other than the fat person themsleves? I didn’t say to stop eating. I said to eat healthier and start exercising on a regular basis. Can you please take a moment to stop stuffing your face and get over the fat rage that’s taken over you?Eating is not like drinking alcohol or gambling. If you haven’t figured it out yet, but eating is a necessity in life. Alcohol & gambling are not. Nobody is forced to consume alcohol or gamble. The problem here is excess eating, wrong eating habits, and a lack of exercise.If you put together a shopping list of items that are processed or packaged, you’ll find that they end up costing you MORE than it would if you actually bought the lettuce that wasn’t prepackaged or the canned fruits and such. People need to stop being so lazy and actually prepare their foods. There is no need to buy all those frozen entrees and meals. I see so many people buy the frozen lunches when they could just prepare some healthy lunches the night before.Now stop siting there reading your Cosmo mags and all the other publications that have to do with Hollywood celebrities. Those people are all made up, and the pics have been so Photochopped to make them flawless. Use your minds and stop bending to the so called idealism that you seek. Take some responsibility for getting yourself so fat. Make some changes and start exercising! Nobody wants to hear you complaining about skinny girls and how you’re this and that fat. Like it was originally said, if you’re fat and you’re happy about it, all the power to you. But if you’re fat but not willing to do something about and complain all the time, stfu.
I have a good friend who’s been seriously overweight since around her mid 20’s. She’s a very pretty, funny, intelligent, person. Although she has a personal trainer and is a strict vegetarian who cooks only healthy, low-fat food, nothing she does seems to help her lose more than a few pounds, and what she does lose always eventually creeps back. This girl is FAR from lazy, so I understand how frustrating and depressing it must be, especially that she’s only had this problem for about 5 years, since she entered her late 20’s’. Her mother and older sister (also healthy) were the same. People shouldnt be so quick to judge others who are overweight; they dont all scarf Bigmacs for breakfast!
Hey Mike, ‘The problem here is excess eating, wrong eating habits, and a lack of exercise’.I think I’m going to faint! So much wisdom!! Hark! The savior of fat people has arrived!! Mike, you are such a genius!! Where’ve you been all this time??? Every doctor, scientist, dietician and overweight person is going to be banging down your door to be cured! My god, the ignorance on this website is embarassing.
Haha this is so angry!! But I’m not going to lie, I totally agree! It’s depressing listening to people complain all the time about their weight to you, and have them say things like, “well You wouldn’t know, you’re skinny!” Damn right bitch, I work my ass off to look and feel the way I do, it doesn’t come naturally! I won’t have people making me feel guilty because they don’t take care of themselves!! To the people who have a hard time keeping off the weight even though they try: this message is not for you. You’re fabulous. This is meant to be directed only to those who feel the need to jusify their unhappiness with their image by bashing those who put forth the effort!- in shape by choice not genes
Hey NMH,I see you still haven’t figured out that every doctor, scientist, and nutritionist has said all along: “balanced, healthy eating, along with regular exercise” is the key. Get it? Obesity levels have skyrocketed in the past 20 years due to the fact that people are lazier. Period. The number of take outs, fast food joints, drive through coffee/food/banking options has increased. They don’t just pop up for no reason. They exist because there is a demand for it. So you can you see the connection there between laziness and weight gain? Can you please explain to us all why Atlantic Canadians are the fattest in the country, while also the ones who partake in the LEAST amount of regular exercise?Now, going back to your reading comprehension problems. Reread what the original bitch was about. If you are fat and don’t like it, do something about it. Don’t sit there complaining and putting down those who aren’t fat. Just stfu already. If you’re fat and happy about it, then all the power to you. Enjoy what you got.
But Mike you still fail to understand what we’re saying.”Balanced, healthy eating, along with regular exercise” is not good enough advice for someone who is seriously struggling with a weight problem. First off, there is a drastic change of life-style involved. It takes huge motivation to get out of a rut that is dependant on fast, cheap food. There is a commitment of time to prepare meals, go shopping and exercise.Secondly, if you’ve ever actually been fat and managed to change to a healthy life-style (I have), you’d know how slow the progress is in going from overweight to healthy. You won’t see any progress for a long time which is totally and completely frustrating and upsetting when you’ve invested a lot of time, energy and emotion into changing the way you live. It makes you want to go eat a whole cake.And then there is something that you seem to have a lot of trouble grasping, that sometimes people use food as a crutch. You can hate yourself because of the way they look, the way they feel, etc. but that doesn’t that when you are feeling like shit you’re not going to head for the fridge.And having some prick like you tell them to STFU about it and quit eating is only going to sink them further in the cycle of eating and hating.You’re not giving anyone a wake-up call though you may fancy yourself the savior of the obese.
Mike:Nobody was arguing against eating better and exercizing to a possible solution to weight loss, nor were they arguing the problems of an overindulgent, consumerist society, you dope. I think YOU’RE the one with a reading comprehension problem. I was arguing against your silly, over-simplification of the issue of obesity. Read my bitch again. And then maybe you can tell all of the authors of all those books on weight loss and healthy eating, which diet works best? Is it the Atkins diet? the Formula Diet? An Exchange-type diet? Fortunately I dont even have a weight problem, but then most normal, thinking people realize that science has yet to figure out ALL of the contributing factors to obesity, and which foods work best to alleviate it. So fuck off knowitall.
NMH,For the last time: Please improve on your reading comprehension.The original bitch was about fat people who were complaining about their weight. The poster also stated “if you are fat and happy, then all the power to you” I agreed with that statement and went on to include the fact that being fat was a combination of lifestyle & choice. That’s right, CHOICE. You see, nobody is forcing you to stuff your face. You and only you are putting that food in your mouth. Get it??Again, I will state: if you are fat and unhappy about it, do something about it. Do not bitch & complain to everyone about how fat your are or how much skinny people are to blame for your woes. STFU and do something about it instead of complaining.Like the original poster also said, if you are fat and happy about it, then all the power to you!There, now was that spelled out in a simple manner for you? Or would you like some mathematical formulas to go with that? If so, moment equations, force calculations, thermodynamic? Pick one and I’ll see if I can provide it to you in a way that you can possibly understand since written words & sentences are obviously not your strong point.
Mike:Holy shit, you are such a morron! If anyone has problems with reading comprehension, you one-dimensional tool, it’s you. And for the record, you sound like a broken record.
