Thread: Women's belly buttons... sexy?

wrong wrong wrong. thats all i have to say

I'll toss in a viewpoint. I am obese. But perception is reality. I have never seen myself as large as I really am. Until recently. And yes, I am working on it. But for those of you who have never been obese, you will not and do not understand what life is like for an obese person. You just think you do. And you think you know where to place the blame. I've tried diets. I've tried exercise. I've tried both together, with total dedication. But the pounds still add up. I don't eat at McDonalds. I don't eat fast food. I don't blame my thyroid, because I have been tested. I spent 6 months on a 1500 calorie diet and walking 2 miles per day. Every day. Weight lifting every other day. With no weight loss. So don't judge. Due to my size, I can't run or jog, only walk. And I do that throughout the day. I don't drink alcohol. I don't eat sweets. Snacks consist of fruit such as apples, oranges, kiwis or grapes. Meals consist of salads, vegetables, with limited amounts of meat or fowl for protein. Yet the weight remains. I would bet that my diet is 200% more healthy than most of you here posting on this thread. Yet, I cannot drop pounds. The original picture posted is not funny. It is sad. And if you think about it, it is a reflection on today's picture of health. Look at yourself. Look at your spouse. Look at your children. How many of you are at your "healthiest" or "ideal" weight? If you are not at your "ideal" weight, then you have no right to reply to this post.

Rant over. I don't mean to offend anyone. But this is a "walk a mile in my shoes" thing. As far as this is concerned, let's turn the tables. Let's talk intelligence. Let's take an IQ test. I promise you one thing. I may be obese, but as far as intelligence, for most of you here, I will kick your ever loving "laugh at the fatty" ass! Okay, now the rant is over.

Damn. I ain't exactly petite but then again, I don't worry about self image issues. I got fat by eating too much and not exercising enough. I also know that I can get unfat by exercising more and eating less. My choice either way.

See, what happened was that being in the computer industry, Y2K was a big, scary thing with lots of "end of the world scenarios" being bandied about, so I was just stocking up for the planned food shortages, getting ready for Y2K. Well..... didn't need all the reserves I'd stored up and was going to set about shuckin them off when it dawned on me that there was no point wasting all that work since Y3K was still looming out in front of us.

Sometimes when I go to McDonalds and I see someone that big eating 6 big macs with fries drinking a diet coke, like the diet pop is doing anything for them. There are moments where I like to overindulge too, once every three or four months, just not every day. Thats why the diet industry is a billion dollar business here in the US, not to mention all the surgeries out there for this. They probably have stocks in the fast food corporations. Seems like more and more you hear and see about these people on Date Line or other similar shows where people are 1000 lbs plus. All of this fast food talk has reminded me of the song..The underwear goes outside the pants.


Just my 2 cents on the matter.
