You're not a BBW...you're just obese...

I'm done with this pointless thread. $$ brought to me is $$ well spent I work for it, and do a fucking good job too! Post your picture up here, lets start on you and your looks! At least I am straight forward, and the clients I see on a daily basis are very well satisfied. My picture is over there<<<<< and its my real and recent picture. Take it and pick it apart. I don't care, I'm cute and I know it haha

You're obese...cover it up with any other adjectives you want...you'll always be that first and foremost...

It's amazing how far people will go to justify their prejudices.

Although i understand what you are saying and agree with it exactly how are they a burden to me?

Last I checked I have choices.

LL this wasn't directed at you. I was just making a statement. Originally Posted by Eccie Addict

... speaking in generalities when someone's "choices" project over into my "zone," whether it be physical, financial, and/or environmentally, then tolerating and/or dealing with their "choices" become an inappropropriate burden for me.

In everyday life, the impact of being fat drives up insurance, taxes, health care costs, discomfort when sitting on an airplane, and even inconvenience just walking down the aisle at the grocery store ... not to mention the "dinks" on the side of my vehicles because someone is too big to get out of their vehicle without hammering mine with the door of theirs!

A list is almost endless.

When others' "choices" begin to impact my "choices," then it is not my responsibility to adjust my "choices" to accommodate their "choices" ...

... at least in "my world" that is the case. I don't know about "your world."

There are probably some folks who post every now and then on here who have met me and they will agree, no doubt, that I could lose a few pounds, but I don't consider myself "obese" even though I do not fit the "insurance company" profile hanging on the wall of doctors' offices, and my weight has fluctuated as an adult, and even though I am probably older than most who post on here, I do try to keep myself moving and eating at a good pace so that fat doesn't become a problem for me ....or...

anyone else. Of course, that is "my choice."

Wakup, I don't intend to make this thread about me, at all. Because I know it is about you. My apologies.

EA...c'mon...we're not just talking about the direct costs of The $40 billion each year we all have to subsidize to Medicare to pay for obesity related treatments or that 46% of the Medicaid increased spending was just for obesity related illnesses...it's as much indirect as direct...I think the Brookings Institute did an article on some of it a couple years ago...I didn't even think about some of those indirect costs...

You want to help them be healthier fine. But don't go around bitching about them costing you money when you can make it to where they don't. Sure it's hard and inconvenient to do but it can be done.

So, "they" cost me money, because they don't have enough money to be thinner?

The "exercise" of pushing oneself away from the table early is a two-fer:

1. Saves money by eating less food; and
2. Exercises the body by the effort to push away, which burns calories.

For those conceptually impaired ... which takes more maintanenace and sustenance:

So what you're saying is that I need to adjust my life to an income level of less than $9,350 per year where I don't have to pay taxes at all. So I need to adjust MY life to that to avoid the fat people of this country being a burden on me...

The logic there fails to convince me...

There arent' enough handicap spots for your Escalade in front of Walmart as it is without yours there.

I'm actually surprised you don't know what it is I'm referring to...

I think if the issue here is that you are pissed about paying taxes to cover the medical expenses of others, then you are barking up the wrong tree.

Taxation is not the result of consent or agreement, it is the confiscation of money via the threat of violence.


BTW I stopped eating processed foods back in August 2011, drinking soda, processed white sugar and now eat very little white carbs, (rice, bread, pasta, potatoes) and have lost 50 lbs.
I am 6'8" barefoot, and was up to 300 lbs.
Now I am at 250.
Lebron James is 6'8" and 260..of course he is a conditioned pro athlete, but I give that for comparison.
I eat mostly meat, veggies, fruit and nuts.

In fact, "we" pay those costs for the one's who strap us with the taxes in the first place .... and their staff members, aids, and errand boys and girls ... even those who don't swallow and leave DNA on their pretty blue dresses.


You made a choice, and obviously a good one. If you can, everyone can.
