Well said Viv. I agree.
But fuck me it's irritating when these people say they're 'healthy' & 'happy' being super huge.
Its all a fucking facade imo, to cope & give themselves some sense of validity for being & remaining who they've become.
The easiest thing to do in life, in any situation, is nothing.
So I guess they have to try to justify the fact they're doing nothing?
I have empathy too, I was there once, not that long ago. But fuck me, one foot in front of the other, one day at a time people.
Not everyone has to be skinny. Thats not the point. Plenty of skinny people are incredibly unhealthy.
But being that big, cannot be healthy either. The damage the extra weight is doing can take some time to manifest, but manifest, it will....eventually.
Hating them, ridiculing them, trying to crush their self esteem further will not help them. They need to help themselves.
It does amuse me though, how often the 'former fatties' are the harshest critics of these people? Not everyone has the conviction to turn their life on its arse & make a change. But everyone does have the ability. Something has just got to click, for them to know they're worth it.
I know plenty of normal sized or thin people that are the unhealthiest mofo's on earth too. They're not doing themselves any favours either.
If you're more than 10kg above the 'ideal' weight as indexed, you're officially 'overweight'. I'd venture to say thats a large majority of people on this forum tbh.
Onwards & upwards. Its all you bro. Its about getting healthy. Not skinny. And that goes for everyone, not just the very visibly overweight or fat.
But I do wish some of the overweight & obese people of the world could understand that a little better than they currently do...gahhh
