“The complex and sophisticated rationalizations that fat people invent to justify fatitude, is one reason they are a menace to society. That and they way they drive those carts at Walmart.”
That’s an idiotic thing to say. There are many people “obese” according to health charts that are perfectly fit and healthy.
My husband is 6’5” broad shoulders, big boned, works out 5 times a week, can barely pinch an inch on his waste and is overweight according to the charts. Believe me, he’s not overweight.
I am no where near riding a cart around in Wal-mart. I have a treadmill and rebounder I use 4-5 times a week.
I just refuse to starve myself and take diet pills so idiots who need to feel superior don’t look down their noses as me. I’m a size 18. I got down to a size 12 about 10 years ago by eating next to nothing, exercising 2 hours a day and taking diet pills that made my heart race and I felt physically sick and ill all the time. Not worth it. A size 12 is not a healthy weight for me and it’s still larger than alot of women. My husband told me I looked terrible and needed to stop losing weight because he was worried about me.
People who degrade other human beings for any reason are the menace.
Some people have bad genes that cause them to have high medical bills even though they are skinny and acceptable, others have high medical bills because they smoke or eat unhealthy. If you eat right, exercise, contribute to society by donating, working, paying taxes and having health insurance, you deserve the same treatment as any other human.
The medical field needs to do major work:
Time to find a humane treatment and cure for cancer
Time to find a way to treat chronic pain
Time to finally understand weight and health
No, it's fat people who need to do major work: squats, burpees, jumping-jacks and, most of all, life style change.
