No way. 230 at least.
I agree that she would probably be (impossible to know how she’s proportioned at her weight) very attractive if she lost weight, but I doubt that 40 pounds would be enough.
Imho, she's in denial about her appearance and her responsibility for her weight issues.
I didn’t say they were thin; I said that they want women to be thin.
I think you are proposing a distinction without difference here.
As long as you're not "friends" with the fat person, it seems you feel comfortable mocking them. While at the same time you think ill of them for resenting your mockery.
Perhaps that's not what you intend, but it is what you wrote.
Look at the monitor that she is standing next to.
The monitor is probably on a credenza; they usually are in news room sets, so she is somewhere from 4’10” to 5’2”

I don't see a credenza there.
Stellar post.
I will always be overweight. I walk a minimum of 5 miles a day, I teach martial arts classes, my BP and blood sugar are habitually below normal levels, my resting pulse rate is in the 40s.
One time in my life I actually flirted with bulimia in order to try to get thin. I obsessed over every bite of food, and in my obsession to finally rid myself of my gut, regularly employed making myself throw up and the use of laxatives if I ever broke down and ate a normal sized meal. But I got to experience life at my thinnest... and it didn’t make 1 bit of difference in how people treated me... My friends were still friends, jerks were still jerks, the only difference was that gratuitous insults no longer came my way, in exchange for feeling sick all the time from what I had to do to maintain my thin appearance. Then I decided I was going to quit smoking, and that let my starvation experiment go to hell.
I was recently confronted by a vegetarian, who told me that my weight would kill me. I demonstrated how I touch my toes, by pressing the knuckles of my fists against the ground, then informed him “my BP is lower than yours, my pulse rate is lower than yours, my blood sugar is lower than yours, I bench almost twice my weight, and I’m getting ready to walk 5 miles thru North Jacksonville to go to the store and pick up some groceries, and everybody on the street is going to smile and say hi, because the last crackhead who tried to jump me lasted 5 seconds...come walking with me, you’ll do your circulation good...” Needless to say, he declined. Pasty faced guy with hoops in his ears and tattoos all over, and a little pot of his own, half my age and he’s out of breath carrying the groceries from the trunk of his car to his front door...I walk 5 miles and carry the groceries on the return trip.
So I came up with the new rule for what is my acceptable weight... maybe your husband might like it... I call it the Roman Rule. In ancient times, every soldier had to be able to carry his gear 10 miles a day. I don’t usually walk that far, but when I walk 5 to 7 miles to get to town and do my shopping and whatnot, I’m speed walking the whole way, and I arrive home with just as much energy as when I left... so I feel confident if I took my lazy-azz time, 10 miles a day is not out of the question.
The Roman Rule: If you can carry it 10 miles a day, you can keep it. If you’re eating healthy, and you’re physically performing at that level of activity, and all your numbers are normal, or below normal, then the holier than thou can stuff themselves.
Well, obviously it isn’t on the floor, that would make her less than 3’ tall :o)
LOL! If she’s less than three feet tall, she has my unrestrained admiration. :)
There sure is a is a correlation between type 2 diabetes and excess weight and the weight came first THEN the diabetes......I work out at a un9iversity gym that is part of a hospital..most of the Type II people who get on a weight loss and exercise program and lose their weight reverse their type II diabetes unless it is too far gone.
>> “There sure is a is a correlation between type 2 diabetes and excess weight and the weight came first THEN the diabetes” <<
.
That is absolutely false.
Type 2 comes on over a period of 20 to 30 years and brings weight along with it.
It starts by eating the diet that the med mafia recommends, which contains too much vegetable oil, and not enough animal oil. That causes cell membrane impermeability, so the glucose and the cells never manage to come together, leaving the glucose to be converted to fat and stored.
Type 2 is reversed in 6-8 months if caught early, by simply using the proper oils, but if it has been 30 years, it’ll take 4 to 5 years to replace enough cells to get the glucose under controll.
Exercise is good for overall health, but it is limited in its ability to burn enough sugar to make it appear as though the diabetes has been reversed. It can’t be reversed without replacing the cells over time.
I love that movie....it is so much like every office I ever worked.
