Sounds to me like you're trying to cover up your own weak will with excuses

Sounds to me like you don't have my interests at heart and you're just looking for an excuse to fat bash.

Face it, there's plenty you could do to help yourself. If you really believe that you can't, you're lying to yourself (whether conciously or sub-conciously) because you're afraid or resistant of the work involved. Nobody said it was *convenient* to lose weight.

Yes because long term weight loss is such an easy thing, isn't it.

You have to give up things you enjoy. You have so little to enjoy as is with your wife's allergies. I get that. That doesn't mean you can't do something about it. Your rationalizations boil down to "I'm happy being fat". If that's true, then just fucking say it and get it over with. That's something I can respect.

So I'm suppose to give up even more in order to satisify someone like you that I'm doing enough. So do I have to go to a monastery, beat myself to keep myself awake, and be celibate to satisfy you too?

No one is happy being fat. It's a question of how difficult and how much you have to give up to lose the weight.

What I can't respect is you coming up with bullshit excuses left and right about how it's impossible when plenty of people (400lbs+) likely larger than you have lost significant weight.

Congratulations for being brainwashed by an industry that thrives on lies.

You do understand that the different hunger feeling comes from the fact how much people have got used to eat, right?

No. It's not. When I lost weight and was having a large bowl of salad and a piece of lean chicken or steak (no bread or other carbs) I would always go around feeling hungry. ALL THE TIME. FOR MONTHS ON END. Now after a while your stomach can't take the food. If you eat a little more than you usually do, or if you eat anything with a tiny bit of fat or oil you feel ill the rest of the day. BUT YOU STILL FEEL HUNGRY. That's how it was for me. I kept that up for maybe 8 months. I took an extra day off work every week (Try working when you're hungry to the point of distraction).

I'm tired of fools who automatically assume every fat person that's had trouble simply hasn't tried hard enough.

Here are some long term stats for you:
http://www.jacn.org/cgi/content/abstract/18/6/620

I've done periods of just FREE weights over the months and benching by itself and *it works*, there are many ways to use free weights and you really REALLY look stupid, you're talking to someone who is the evidence.

You're just another loser who thinks that everyone's body must work exactly as yours does and if they say it doesn't they must be lying. You want to feel good about what you've done. That's fine. But you want to put others down and feel superior for not managing the same. That's just weak.

It DOES NOT take a suspension of the laws of physics for people's metabolisms to work very differently. Food is very energy dense.

It DOES NOT take a suspension of the laws of physics for people's hunger drives to be very different. Hunger is a huge motivator. It has had to be for the human race to survive.

And who is RESPONSIBLE for being overweight?

Who's responsible for you having two arms and two legs? NATURE.

It's not a simple matter of responsibility. That's like telling an alcoholic to just get over it. Idiotic.

You are the one who must overcome your weaknesses, no one said it was easy but if someone has a tendency to murder, rape or kill, or has pedophelic tendencies, does that JUSTIFY them indulging in their weaknesses or are they held responsible?

So now you're comparing being overweight to being a murderer or rapist. Real nice.

The difference of course is that we all have to eat. You try telling an alcoholic that they have to have 1 and only 1 drink a day and see how far they get!

For that matter, try curing a murderer or rapist of the compulsion just by having them excercise some self control. There's a reason we lock these people up.

Your pushing the limits of your credibility with this paragraph, people who make excuses for things they have control over. The biggest barrier to get over is the psychological one, and doctors are NOT fitness buffs, or specialists. Doctors are not gods.

I'm only pushing my credibility with someone narrow minded, who thinks they know better than everyone else and has a chip on their shoulder.

Aparently you know more than doctors about the human body, weight loss and fitness, but _I'm_ the one without the credibility huh? You're the one reaching buddy.

Since we're deciding we're better than the professionals here's a little amateur psychology for you. The trouble with you is you use to hate yourself as a fat person so you feel the need to distance yourself by vilifying anyone else who hasn't chosen to do everything humanly possible to lose every bit of weight. Why else would you waste so much time arguing with me. Absolutely classic.

But here you go. Have a look at your future:

Or just google long term weight loss. You'll find the only ones that claim to enable it have something to sell you.

I guess everyone with a weight problem is just weaker than you.

As per the subject, fruits have a lot less sugar than you think.

The problem is that the average American eats a lot more sugar than they used to. Americans eat an estimated 20-34 teaspoons of added sugar in the food and drink every day. While you probably shouldn't be chugging apple juice all day, it would be a far sight better for you than chugging Coke all day. However, there's no need to avoid whole fruits whatsoever. Go wild.
