A good reason to not hire a fatty...

Eat the gun?

I wanted to, but realized that was a pussy way out to deal with things. I decided to fix a problem that I had created.

I am sure the proof is still in the computer system in the invoices. Some of the employees that are still at your store knew about it as well. If you really want to know, I will tell you about it, but not on a public message board.

Send me a PM then. You know I won't stand for that shit. My store had the lowest shrink numbers in the district in 2010.

For better or worse, eh? You cannot tell me that you would stay married to a woman that did this to herself? And you...

I don't disagree with the fact that we each should do our parts personally to keep ourselves healthy, but I wouldn't divorce over that. I'd love her just the same and do anything and everything to help and encourage her to get healthy again.

It's about loving sacrificially, unconditionally and being selfless in our journey of life. When a person get's to be that obese, there's generally issues buried deep w/in the psyche or a physical condition that it can be attributed too. There's also the self control aspect so please don't think I tossing out the personal accountability. It's all intertwined.

I dont disagree, but when it has gotten that bad, then there is usually no helping with those problems. But kudos to you...but until you are in that position, you dont know how you would act.

If you stood silently by while she self destructed then you can not say that you love her. Love is saying the hard things too.

If you cant see your cock when you take a piss (without a mirror and/or serious pannus repositioning) then you are a fat bastard.

I had to laugh...

I envision you giving that as "medical advice".

I can say w/ 100% certainty that I would. ATM, my wife and I are going through an extraordinarily difficult time due to her Type 2 Bipolar condition. If a person can do marriage w/all that a mental disorder can trow at ya, anything else would be a cake walk. BTW, she didn't develop this until after our son was born a little over 4yrs ago.

Again, I don't disagree. To standby would make me a passive person and I'm far from that. I'd let it go to a point to see if she was going to do something on her own, but I do have my limits too, I'm just not one to quit when the going gets tough. It's a quality that has as much potential for bad as it does good.

She proportionately gained as much weight as I have since we got married. And I wouldn't really give a shit since we're getting a divorce.

Not that we know each other, but better now then later what all really have a lot of stuff and commitments together.

In general to this thread - ya know, I think the weight thing is pretty simple.

All my family put on pounds at one time or another - when health mattered they lost it or otherwise did what they had to. No ADA or outside health. Of course, they are all mostly self employed.

The wife and I are losing and are at least healthy now - kids motivated us. (plus feeling fat sucks)

I think there are rare occassions that people have legitimate problems or circumsatances. However doctors and people themselves just want to abuse this shit all the time.

To each his own. I remember our vows saying something about, "For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part, however if you become a fat bitch were done!; let no man tear asunder."

fixed

marry thin die thin.

This thread turned awesome. I was about to bitch about just hitting 200lbs being 5'9" and I feel like a portly mf'er with a 34" waist... Beer doesn't help, though.

That's your choice. I fell in love and married a woman that was a certain weight. Attraction is very important for a healthy relationship. If the attraction isnt there, the love will turn to resentment and its all down hill from there. Have more respect for your spouse than to allow yourself to get fat.

Just out of curiosity.... say she put on a good ... oh - 30 lbs since you got married. How would you approach that one? Not to say she got "fat" but just beefed up a tad.

I will say this, though.. I've been married 13 years. She's not the same physical person I married, but shit - neither am I. Fortunately we've stayed pretty close to it though...

<-- was asked just the other night... "Honey, do you think I'm fat?" my response was "of course not, dear..."

"but would you tell me if you thought I was?"

silence.......

<-- didn't get laid that night
