and Singmeweet - I will tell you a true story I joined the AirForce at 17 got out 3 years later came home for 3 months before I went to Thailand to try and be a fighter,
When I came home my buddy from Highschool best friend those days was sitting around still living with the family and doing nothing got big over the 3 years I was gone, I talked to him we hung out, I said man you got to do something with your life, he asked me what I said military

So he goes to the recruiters decided he wants to be a marine they tell him he has to get in shape before he can even go to Boot Camp he asks me to help, I helped worked out with him everyday was on his arse all the time he got in gnarly shape joined the Marine Corps reserves and is doing something and he thanked me for the help I gave him and for motivating him to get off his arse and improve his life, it was a great feeling to help a friend, he's still my best friend and he's going to Afghanistan here soon.

So I will do something about bigger people I am helping family members when I am back in the states friends people at the gym that are big I motivate them and ride there arse because I know what they can be.


So you can sit on your arse complain I am mean and try to convince me I am wrong at tell people being fat is cool or you can do something to change.

Everything above is a true story btw

It's good to be skinny for a model but I would like my GF to have a few pounds. Curves are only visible then...:-)

Over the 10 years of the study. The posted text isn't from the study, it's from the WebMD review of the study.

Overweight, Obesity, and Mortality in a Large Prospective Cohort of Persons 50 to 71 Years Old

This is the research that the study performed by the CDC was based upon. If you look at Figure 1, Chart A, you will see that the lowest chance of death in the sample group was people with a BMI between 25 and 28 (which is classified as overweight).

Actually Sociology 101 teaches us that it does work. The threat of public ridicule does make people change their behaviors.

It must be offensive to your sensibilities to meet a heavy girl who respects herself.

its like oh oh his grammar isn't right so him saying fat is unhealthy has no relevancy

No, that's what the studies say. And not "fat", because that's a descriptive term that doesn't mean anything clinically. People who are between "optimum weight" and "obese" live longer than anyone else on average.

I dont thinks its about fat, skinny, tall, short. I think its all in the way a lady carries herself. Confidence is sexy

Again, you're just talking about your own preferences. Why not let others have theirs as well?

rolls on the other hand are just disgusting

I think your talking about a whole lot of Boshnit

ehhh mate sure sounds like it to me

And I am talking about if you eat healthy and exercise like for realsies not I say Id but cheat

You will have a healthier and higher quality of life than someone who doesn't

But keep making excuses of why you want to stay big

and I think I read someone saying the wouldn't want to look like a model haha your shizzen me right

a pretty lady started this thread in the hopes to hear from a man that might be interested in meeting her. how the flock did this thread get so far off topic

Woah, this thread is moving fast. I'm quoting different people here.



Some people, under some circumstances, will change some of their behaviors due to threat of public ridicule - that doesn't make it desirable to use threat of public ridicule as a means of changing behavior. Some people who have weight issues have both addiction issues and self esteem issues. While addiction drives them to continue eating, being victims of public ridicule can exacerbate the self esteem issue, creating a cycle. A fat cycle.

People who have a healthy level of self esteem will not be effected by ignorant and childish people ridiculing them.

Best case scenario: you have someone who has changed their behavior because of this threat of public ridicule - is that desirable? I don't think so. I'd rather they learn to value themselves and their healthy.




Once again Spider voices my own thoughts. What so disturbing about a fat girl being super confident? I've known some very heavy women who were not only super confident, they were semi-athletic. They'd go on long distance week long hikes, they go bike touring, long distance swimming. I find them to be very attractive women.



Thats not how i took it, at all. I thought the whole point was: people have preferences. You don't like fat girls. Some people don't like people who can't (or don't bother) to use proper english. I agree with Spider, its completely on topic.



It makes sense to me. Past a certain point, being overweight places unreasonable physical stress on different systems of the body, which could shorten your life span. But below that point, slightly overweight people seem to me to be less psychologically stressed (and less effected by stressers) than all us skinny people.

Skinny meditating monks would be an exception, with their



Agreed.



Some people have difficulty accepting that others are really very different then they are. Also, some people find it threatening when people have beliefs different then theirs.

Consider:



Maybe this is obvious to everyone, but: this is only an opinion. Some people have different opinions. Some people actually like rolls of fat on a women.

I wish you well OP. I think you have the right attitude.

I giggled to myself when I read that someone found it off-putting for a fat girl to have confidence. Confidence is not measured in pounds.....it's measured in self worth and pride for the person that you are. It's all encompassing, not just a visual peek in a good mirror.

Absolutely love the new pic

Thank ya' muchly.....It's a skinnier me....
Kind of fitting considering the topic!

dude you are off topic. this thread was hijacked pages ago. ...
