When are you coming over for a personal look? I think a trip to walmart would make you flee back home. Damn, we're a bunch of fat peeps.

Walmart looks hysterical from what I've seen of it. Not sure that I'd like to actually buy anything there but it definitely looks worth a visit.

I prefer my women with some meat on the bones. But not the whole fucking cow.

well I guess it has been about a week without a fat shaming dog pile thread...

It's not fat shaming, it's speaking the truth. She's obese and being obese is unhealthy. How is that fat shaming?

Again you have no idea what you're talking about. There are lots and lots of people like this. He's not alone by any stretch of the imagination. I've worked beside him. His non-break snacking is easily 2000 calories with the sodas taken into consideration.

the average American consumes about 3500 calories per day.

When I was younger, I ate like a horse. Couldn't gain an ounce. Big lunch, usually fast food or pork BBQ, crap out of the snack machine all day, started drinking Pepsi first thing in the morning and drank 5-6 of those a day, big suppers, and ate candy bars in bed with milk, then turned off the light and went to sleep.

I agree, the person you responded to doesn't know what he's talking about. Now I eat not even half of what I just described, and struggle with weight. Metabolism slows down when you get older.
My Dad used to just shake his head when I'd sit down before bed and eat an entire container of Oreos or some other kind of cookies, and never gain an ounce. It is definitely possible.

That's not, but calling her a cow (see post above) is fat shaming. Also there are many things people do that are unhealthy, but certain things the Internet feels entitled to shame others for. Let's be honest if she was doing coke and eating unhealthy but was attractive, no one here would be shaming her.

Just from a health standpoint, she's a train wreck, the human skeleton is designed to support a much smaller mass, her knees and hips will be shot years before they should wear out.

And throw in type II diabetes now.

You have no idea how to count calories.

This goes back to what I said earlier that 99% of people don't know a thing about a healthy diet.


You need to pay more attention to serving sizes.

In your weight loss thread you mentioned you've lost 157 pounds and that you're still 219. I would say that it's the person who has been pushing 400 pounds that doesn't know much about serving sizes. You seem to have learned recently how to count calories, measure portion sizes and lose weight, but I would bet that Elevenpog has known how to do that for most of his adult life. His calorie counts are in the ballpark of the actual calories of the food he's listed, and he's absolutely right when he says the average person would have a hard time eating more than 2500 calories of real food in a day.

You have an idealized memory of how you used to eat. Simply put, you were either still growing, so you were gaining weight from those calories, or you weren't eating as much as you think. Please look at the staggering amount and severity of childhood obesity prevelant today for proof.

Huh? All I saw were sheep and that national flower.

:p

If that's still true from when I was there then America has added another .5 body weight as compared to them. I think I saw 1 person that that was obese. The food portion sizes were way smaller. Even at the fast food places.

Eat more Haggis.

She is disgustingly fat. Making her into a model is telling people it is ok to look like that and not be healthy. It's like giving every kid a participation ribbon at field day anymore. Not everyone is a winner. She certainly isn't.

As opposed to most other models who make females starve themselves to the point they could die. That's healthy huh?

her boyfriend, let's see your woman, also she signed with an international modeling agency and is making a good living so I'd say as far you saying she's not a winner, imho she's a much bigger one in life than you.

^^ We get it, you're fat and/or you like fat women.

I'm also for realistic standards in modelling, and that mean no skeletons and no whales. One does not balance out the other. Of course our society is supposedly a free one and people can pretty much do and pay for whatever they want, but I don't have to think highly of them for it.

I'm pretty sure most of the people defending this chick and this lifestyle are fat themselves and obviously need excuses to feel good about themselves.

Do what you will, as long as it doesn't affect me, I guess enjoy those burgers and the following heart failure. The second you start blasting to the public that what is obviously a terrible thing is somehow 'OK' that's when you become a target, and why you are getting 'shamed'.

I love women with hour glass figure/thick......but that is just straight up fat and disgusting.
Bigot, you lust after the hour glass figure girls but turn up your nose at Big Ben. :D

Just think of her as a 24 hour glass figure girl.

The thing is, yes for some people it is very difficult to lose weight and keep it off. So in that sense, fat shaming itself is not helpful, because there are people who really don't want to lose weight, but can't.

What is worth shaming is the fat acceptance movement, which is a different story. Fat acceptance means stop striving to improve yourself, just give in and expect everyone else to love you for being fat. Being fat isn't always a choice, but fat acceptance is a choice.

Ah Assumptions! Well I'm going to assume that everyone having a go at people they will never meet for having some success in their lives are basement dwelling loners with no social skills who probably aren't going to feel good about themselves no matter how much they focus on somebody elses problems whilst ignoring their own.

You're just jealous of our success. Internet is serious business, and we are important people. Without us so many people would have no idea how wrong they are, and is that a world you would want to live in?

Ah yes. :(

I too wish I could work myself up into a froth about things inconsequential to my life. How I wish that I could rage at imagined slights perpetrated by cyclists or that mean girls were somehow disagreeing with my opinions somewhere on the internet. Or that people might have different opinions about current affairs or news. How I wish I had the energy and willpower to spend my time in this manner.

But alas its not to be for, really, I just cant seem to give a shit about that sort of thing. :(
