Do you treat fat people differently?

[donnie90stang]

You have some bad luck.

Eh, I also got divorced and lived in a travel trailer in a field for 6 months after that. It wasn't all bad

With my health business I have learned a lot about people with different physical ailments. A lot of times people have an emotional association with food. They see what they're doing, but for one reason or another they don't take the steps to stop it. I am fortunate enough to work with people who want to make a change which makes a huge difference.

I still wonder why it is someone chooses to treat their health poorly when it's known that 4 of the top 10 causes of death in America are health related.

It's the same as why people smoke, or over drink; they know they're killing themselves but they still choose to do it.

Two of my wife's cousins are sisters, one is beautiful and in shape, the other is very fat (she has so much back fat she looks like a hunch back). I can't help but treat them differently.

In my feeble mind, it says a lot about a person's character, their willingness to give a shit. If you hate yourself enough to get that fat, why should I give a fuck about you either?

<--6'-3" - roughly 228 - and yeah, I'd like to lose about 20-25 pounds.

[Sean88gt]

Props for takin your meds but be careful, mixing them w/ alcohol can be dangerous.

dont worry. i mean to say that i STOPPED drinking like an alcoholic. i just keep stereotype going to satisfy the drama whores that lurk here hungry from self rightous bullshit.

even when i had some four loko a lil while ago, i only had a couple but i dont mind letting everyone think im a fall down drunk, that just makes the people i meet and that already know me laugh when they find out im actually a pretty decent guy

So have the meds helped to stabilize you? Sorry if I'm being to nosey, my wife has finally gotten on a "cocktail" that is effective.

it has literally saved my life, im working again, have friends again, racing again, and just enjoying life instead of hating it. i still have my moments but who doesnt? im finally a functioning adult instead of a handicapped person. now if i lost my disbility insurance and my meds i would have a complete breakdown, so im still handicapped to that like a cripple is to a wheelchair, but hey at least i can survive now.

Depends on the level of fatness. I am 5'10", 175lbs. My dad is 5'8" and 220ish, pretty chunky, but he is plenty active so people like him I don't treat differently. Now when there is some fatass that is plugging along on their hover round chair while stacking the deck at a buffet, then yeah, I tend to dislike them. When there is a herd of fatasses blindly wandering, looking for an unsuspecting meal to chow on, clogging up doorways and isles, they REALLY PISS ME OFF.

[YALE]

I'm too fat for my liking right now, 5'11"/260. The only thing that bothers me about fellow fatties is when they get self-righteous, and think they should get extra breaks when they're in a situation of their own making. I don't like it when anyone acts entitled, though.

Obviously I do not at work, but in public I cannot help but be disgusted by them. Every once in a while I will take my boys to a dinner buffet and it never fails that there will be some ginormous fat-asses there with mounds of food. I know everyone has their vices, but I dont tolerate gluttony very well. Oh, and they ALL have thyroid problems...it isnt your thyroid. It's your self-control.

Functional fatasses do not bug me at all, but condescending stuck-up stick people do. I rather not see your Ghandi-body, but you won't see me acting like I'm fucking going to die do to the mere appearance of some Skeletor-wannabe.

Add on top of that a generous helping of prednisone and the sanity of self control goes out the window. I was below 300 last year and then my doctors decided to medicate me for different things, and now I have gained a bunch of weight. Starting to get the urge to eat back under control, but it takes a lot to do it, plus my royally fucked up hip/pelvis make staying active a painful bitch.
