That's what one of my teachers did this year. He isn't obese, not even overweight, but he realizes that he's been on the heavier side of healthy for a while so he's been skipping the elevator and taking the stairs. Just wake up a few minutes earlier is all he really needs to do.
You know, society today loathes anyone who doesn't look like a porn star. I am thin now, but the first three-fourths of my life I struggled with being horribly fat. The only way I could stay thin was to starve, sometimes for a month at a time. Turns out I had a pituitary tumor giving me Cushing's Syndrome, which causes the body to overproduce cortisol in vast amounts. This makes your body eat itself and turn it into fat. A pituitary adenoma also will give you man-boobs (gynecomastia). So when the pituitary tumor got removed, I still had gynecomastia overproducing estrogen in my male body. Also turns out that 1 in 5 people in this country have a pituitary adenoma. 1 in 5 people in this country are morbidly obese. Beyond this, I also found out at the same time that I am a celiac, so my body was already not getting near enough nutrition no matter how much I ate. This contributes to obesity as well, because gluten is like snake poison in the gut. (continued)
So the fact is that when someone is fifty, sixty pounds overweight, it's probably their fault. But a massive person who can barely walk has something wrong with their endocrine system and they desperately need medical treatment. I spent most of my life in despair about my weight, and now I am thin consistently only after the proper (and extensive) medical treatment. All I'd like to say is fuck you very much for driving fat people to near-suicide because you'd rather filter everything you see through whether or not your genitals are pleased, instead of doing the scientific research to discover the chronic problems produced by industrialized society. You goddam Nazi. You sound like Hitler talking about the Jews. Kill all the fat people. Fuck you.
Really, dingus? Read the damn comments. "forced fitness"?? Do you really want that for yourself in your fifties? "Tubby's going down"? "Poor life choices"? "Fire drill twice a day will fix him"? You're beyond hope, like the rest of this murderous society.
YOU read the damn comments. I even said I don't support forced fitness. I said I support more encouragement towards fitness, but not actually forcing people to do it. Also, you're part of society, whether you like it or not. You're also beyond hope, even worse than I am if you have to assume things in order to make yourself feel better.
Your first comment was just as insensitive as mine, buddy. After everything I wrote there, all you give is "I...I can't even...what?" Real sensitive guy you are.
Interesting that the guy with all the science and facts is getting flamed here. All you folks can do is make jokes like children and try (feebly) to make him look like the oddball with meme speech (I can't even? Really? Are you A 12-year-old-girl?) Fat people are still people and making jokes about killing them actually affects the way others think about them. You are responsible for what you say.
Well with that phenomenal reasoning, you'll make a great cop. Tell me, friend, did you learn your detective skills from a tarot manual, or from the police themselves? I hear in Florida the cops use psychics to solve murder cases, so since you're so sure of yourself, perhaps you can find out who raped my little brother. Maybe when you and everyone else on this post are done tossing the obese segment of society away, you can go use your skill in Ferguson or Boston. But, in the meantime, you're still wrong, stiffy. Have a pleasant evening.
Well I didn't expect there to be much of a response but claiming I'm someone else is pretty new to me. I have to admit he has a point that you reason like a cop, divining your conclusions because you have some feelings about the way we talk, but what holes in his story are you talking about? If you do your research, he makes really good sense about pituitary adenomae and Cushing's syndrome and celiac's disease. If you can come up with a REAL explanation about adulthood obesity that contradicts what he says and isn't bullshit about people who eat too much, please post it here. Otherwise I think you've mainly posted because of a predisposition against people who aren't you. A nazi? I don't think so, but you're most certainly a bigot. @bookhoarder specifically but some of you other responders are included here.
That one guy ate McDonalds only for a month and gained twenty-something pounds. Keep that up and I predict the weight will grow exponentially because your body doesn't have anymore "health reserves" to draw upon.
