Dear Mr. And Mrs. Weight Loss Seeker
« on: February 27, 2008, 06:48:27 PM »

To whom it may concern:

It has come to my attention that many people use these pre-spring and pre-summer months to get into shape before it's time to bare all for the sun come summer time. Though a good idea at heart, as I don't want to be looking at your fat ass in a bathing suit while at the beach, but this act of dieting should be carried out year-round rather than just a few months leading up to summer.

Instead of going out to eat three times a week like most Americans do these days, try to only go out once or twice a month - if that. Instead of going with a diet coke and a large portion of food, why not just water and a normal-sized portion of food?

"Dieting" doesn't just mean trying to lose weight. "Dieting" is a set pattern of eating over a prolonged period of time. Therefore, you should be engaged in healthy and smart dieting all year, rather than just several months out of the year. Instead of always feeling tired and run down since you eat like a brute, you'll feel more energized as well as being healthier and better looking.

Also, daily exercise works wonders too. Instead of taking the elevator up two floors, why not take the stairs and save the elevator for someone who really can't walk up the stairs? Instead of using the automatic door, why not push or pull a door to burn a few more extra calories? Anything that requires you to expend more energy will help in your quest to look better.

Perhaps instead of trying to place the blame of your fatness and laziness on others, why not come to the realization that you're a human being that has the ability to reason and make choices. No matter what we do, we have a choice, even if that choice is to not make a choice.

Regards,
Chris.

P.S., Here is some motivation:



If that isn't motivation for you to eat right, then god help you.

I don't even know if you could consider it a "value". Someone that obese is not healthy (Any medical doctor would agree with that statement after looking at that picture). Sure she might be happy and think she looks good in that bathing suit and it's simply more "cushion for the pushin'" but saying that she needs to exercise more or watch what she eats in order to improve her physical health is not imposing a belief, but rather telling her the truth.

...and she should quit smoking, and stop drinking, and not smoke pot, and buckle up, and observe the speed limit, and go to school and do something with her life, and stop wasting countless hours gaming, and not watch brain-rotting tv shows, and believe in God and the American Way. Also all true. But I will not be the one to tell her that.

We all find our own paths to Hell, and our own paths out of it.

The thread is addressed to weight loss seekers.  They're already trying to fall in line with the values that Chris is speaking about.  The image was offered as inspiration for THEM, not for her.

Weight loss seekers don't need to be told they are considered fat and ugly by young male internet users. They already know that.

Now that's funny given the name of the picture as it was first posted!

The guy in that picture is my friend, Don.  We're constantly giving him a hard time for being a bit chubby.  The trick he's doing is a back-roll, thus the name... chubroll.

I was looking at the original of the pic BizB and thought to myself, "aw hey, that looks like fun."  And then I scrolled down.

Stop bashing her. First you take her love, then you take her land, then you take her where she cannot stand.

Well you know what? SHE DOES NOT CARE! She is still free.

You can't take the sky from her.

Since the new year, I've cut back my diet coke consumption to two a day (from 6-7) and substituted the rest with water. I've been eating a hell of a lot better as well. No more french fries and double burgers but lean meats, veggies and whole grains in addition to going to the gym on a regular basis.  I don't need a picture of a fat woman to motivate me because the gains I've been seeing from doing this is motivation enough. The ultimate goal here isn't to look good for the summer but to undo the damage that three years of sitting on my ass being addicted to World of Warcaft did to me.  :-(
