I'd like the fat shaming to stop, because then maybe some of my friends could stop feeling defensive and start addressing their weight issue more rationally.
I think fat shaming will be the last form of legalized discrimination, which is one of the reasons why I'm pushing back against it.
No doctor has been harping on me to lose weight, but I've been informed that losing some would be a good thing for me to do.
I went to a doctor many years ago because my allergies were very bad. The doctor, ex-military, told me three time that I was fat. I asked him what does being fat has to do with my allergies. He kicked me out of his office.
"Instead, we recommend using an image of a relevant activity, such as running or riding a bike"
The fat fuck probably can't do either.
Running for a fat person is a quick way to blow out your knees. You don't want to be hobbling around like those skinny guys who get replacement knee surgery because they play basketball to aggressively. Jogging in the swimming pool is a better idea. When I rode my bike 20 miles a day to get to a restaurant job in a different city for three years, my average wait during that time was 325 pounds.
They should be directing her to appropriate medical attention, because she's morbidly obese and in dire need of intervention.
What would that be exactly? I was literally the only fat kid at school. School officials ordered my parents to take me to the doctor and get blood tests. Three years of repeated blood tests failed to find anything wrong with me. Some people are just big that the doctors can't do anything.
Luckily, nature does correct this: he'll be dead long before a normal-weight person.
Not likely. I don't smoke. I don't drink. I'm on a diet and work at the gym. I get my flu shot every year (perk from working in a hospital). I haven't seen a doctor in 16 years. Besides seasonal allergies, I haven't been ill in years. That's called living a healthy lifestyle.
You're assuming that the bean counters haven't cut out ongoing maintenance. That's an expense — an unnecessary expense. Might be better to let the machine break down and get it repaired for $50 per hour.
As a professional video game tester for six years, I can reassure you that most developers will cut QA time in half in order to beat the bonus schedule imposed on them by the publisher. I can't tell you how many times developers cried about losing their bonuses when QA goes into double, triple or quadruple overtime to get their game out the door. Since I don't get bonuses for being a tester, I don't give a damn about their bonuses.
I don't even understand why they would release a more powerful console.
I think a more powerful version is to support Occulus 3D technology. Most PCs today can't even support that technology. Since consoles set the lowest common denominator for multiplatform games, it would be nice to have a console that exceeds the capability of a PC and better games for the PC.
All the proof I actually need is you saying you eat 1500 calories and are continuing to be a fat fuck and that you ate 3000 calories WHILE working out and got to 400lbs.
If you want to gain muscle weight, you need to increase your calorie intake while lifting weights. I liked being at 400 pounds, I loved the muscle mass. But buying 4XXL shirts was a bitch.
I'm entering month three since I started with a 1,500-calorie cap. The mechanical scales at the gym is no longer thunk at 350 pounds (maximum weight for scale), but it's very hard to get the scale to balance out. I may be down to 345 pounds.
No, we will call you a disgusting tub o' lard. Which is what you are. You didn't have to "accept being big", you simply lacked the willpower to do anything about your nauseating condition. You're a mass of yellowish flesh, your grossly misshapen body trundles about in a parody of human walk. The stench of sweat in your presence is overpowering. Why don't you do the right thing and kill yourself?
It's the internet. You are being the angry "tough guy".
I can be a "tough guy" off the Internet too. Except for the occasional fitness nut, most people aren't that stupid to provoke a person with enough muscle mass to put them in the hospital.
If you don;t want to see fat people on the internet, don't post your picture on it.
You posted a headshot from 2009 (thanks for reminding to change that pic). Here's most recent headshot is from 2013.
Both pictures are nearly identical in showing my head. What these pictures don't show is my broad shoulders and narrow waist. Even if I completely eliminated my body fat, I doubt my jowls will go ever away.
There is no fucking way that you are even remotely telling the truth on anything here, you lying fat piece of shit.
Why would I lie?
You fat fucks are like children who tell outrageous lies to adults and think we're buying the shit you're selling.
I'm always called a liar. The funny thing is that no one has ever proven me to be a liar. Some people have trouble accepting a reality that varies from normal. Nothing in my life is normal.
You don't even know how fucking retarded you sound.
Because I was poster child for mongolism, I spent eight years in Special Ed. No one though it was odd that I graduated the eight grade with a college-level reading comprehension. I had skip high school to go to community college to get a real education. The difference between treated like an idiot in grade school and an adult in college was night and day.
You're not telling people that being at your current weight is a healthy thing that they should accept as good.
I wrote that I accepted the fact that I'm a big person, which means I'm not going to beat myself up emotionally it as I have no desire to relive my teenage years. Nowhere did I write that being fat was healthy. If that was the case, I wouldn't be on a diet and eat whatever I wanted.
Specifically that Tess at BMI 46+ is just as healthy and will experience no negative health consequences as compared to someone at BMI 20.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Cruise, Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson are morbidly obese based on his BMI score. If I shed my fat and tone my muscles, I'll still be morbidly obese. It's not a reliable indicator.
But if this plus model is telling people that it's okay to be morbidly obese, that does no one a service.
If you're in the business of selling plus-size clothes to women, what kind of models would you suggest to where those clothes in an advertising spread?
I don't know about your life but mine has no aggression in it.
I live an aggressive-free live, but I don't shy away from confrontation. It's like when I ask a stupid question at a group meeting. Some people will take me aside to tell me that I've asked a stupid question. I ask them to tell me how many people in the audience wanted to ask that same stupid question but were afraid of looking stupid by someone else. They can't give me a number. The people who thank me for asking a stupid question outnumbers the people who criticizes me for asking a stupid question by 3 to 1.

Being fat meant there's too much food available to you while too little was available to all others.
Being fat was a sign of wealth in African cultures. Some of the wealthiest people in America are black people. Go figure.

Ongoing maintenance is cheaper than $15 hour.

I'm still crying over Duke Nukem Forever.
I think you're miscounting your calories.
My growling stomach in the morning after a 12-hour fast disagrees with you.
Replace Genius with a shell script (# /bin/sh)? That's very brilliant. NOT!
How many people will buy your $5000 dollar console?
No one. Where did you get your $5,000 figure?
Any advantage the console had is now officially dead.
Finally! Let the revival of the PC games begin! Long live the PC!

You got the potty mouth of a third-grader! LOL!
You win, I fell for your troll.
Your comment made no sense whatsoever.
You've trolled that 1500 calorie claim for a _long_ time in a lot of stories and it is just not credible.
I love trolling the trolls.
You are now free to dismiss my empirically justifiable claims with your internet tough guy swagger, as per your usual MO.
Slashdot exists to keep me amuse while I'm waiting for a script to finish at work. Thank you for your participation.

As soon as your change your prejudice on fitness nuts ;)
As long they stay on their side of the gym and dance to the Jane Fonda fitness video. :)

That said, as others have said,150g carb/day isn't even close to low-carb. More like 20g/day would be low-carb.
Low-carb diets are 150 grams or less per day.
