Numbskulls,
That was probably one of the most personally offensive posts that I have read on this board. You are an opinionated young pup and I’m going to give you a little touch of reality here.
I am male, just a hair under six feet tall, and according to the Doc last Thursday I weighed in at 207 pounds. Not bad for an old geezer like me huh? Only 2 pounds over what I weighed when I got out of the Navy in 1986. I can’t leg press 700 pounds like I could back then. But I’m in pretty good shape and can handle an 800 pound motorcycle at 80 miles an hour with a 175 pound passenger and pull a trailer with two weeks of luggage and junk for 1,100 miles in a day. I actually match up with your skinny healthy fit person don’t you think?
What you don’t know is that I weighed 335 just a couple of years ago. I didn’t get that big in 24 hours, it took 20 years, and it was not intentional! It wasn’t bad choices or not being in control. It is life. And I didn’t have medical challenges such as diabetes or a host of other medical ailments that caused it.
You don’t have a friggin clue what it is like to be that big. Nor, do you have a friggin clue as to how to lose the weight. You can type your BS as a young in your prime pup and make statements that are the kind of things that PREVENT people who are overweight from getting control of things. And the type of statements you made really piss me off. Go live in your Vogue Magazine world and leave people who have their own challenges alone. Because you don’t have a clue and your rude ugly comments are a major part of the problem.
All of the diets and all of the gyms and all of the multi-billion dollar exercise equipment industry is there to fleece people of their money and they don’t really give a rats ass if they lose weight or not. They are making their 16 payments of $35.95 for a piece of junk that is an oversized paperweight in their basement, and that is all that they care about. They are paying for “diets” of all flavors that don’t work worth a damn because they don’t address the problem or how to solve it. They just take advantage of people’s low self esteem until they get to frustrated and quit until they pick up the next patent medicine program and start paying out the ass chasing a dream that you don’t and can’t understand.
Stepping off my soap box now. I appologise if I violated the board's rules in this post, if I did, I'm sure a moderator will let me know.
Have a nice day.
