[QUOTE=Dave825;22572987]The christ is up with your avatar. :frogsiren:[/QUOTE] It's my friendly old bum!

I'm pudgy, I'm not in the overweight BMI scale, but still noticeably fat. I never gain or loose weight though, I've been like this for the most of my life.

I'm fat because I eat too much. Duh.

There are good things to being fat. - When reading, you can rest your book on your belly. - You aren't cold as often as skinny people. (Though you are hot more often lol.) - Um... More cushion for the pushin'? [QUOTE=eatdembeanz;22546761]They have an oral fixation, meaning that their minds are focused on the oral stage of psychological development: The stage of figuring out what's supposed to go in the mouth, and what isn't. Oral fixation is the main cause of overeating, bulimia, nail biting, hair chewing, and thumb sucking.[/QUOTE] I definitely have an oral fixation. Woah, newsflash for me.

I'm fat because I'm lazy, I admit this, but I also have some stuff working against me. I also work in a call center (8 hours a day in a chair). It's common to drink when you talk to people all day, and the choice of drink changes (Currently orange kool-aid, I did drink iced tea for a few months but it tends to rot if you don't clean out the bottle every day, and of course after a while I got sick of it. Water you drink too fast. Try seeing how long 2 Gatorade bottles last you when you are thirsty. I tried water for one day, both bottles were gone about 3 hours). I also have a tendency to snack while I work, and snack of choice is either pretzels or chips (At home I also love popcorn when it's late). As well, I'm also the best customer of a nearby pizza place thanks to this job (I've quite literally had a slice of pizza 5 days a week since late august, minus a few times where I was early outed when it was slow or had cut shifts with no lunch break, which in hindsight is pretty cool because I've gotten free pizza loads of times, and if by chance I get an actual pizza for supper I usually get half off). As well, I've never eaten healthy, as I've always been quite literally a meat and potatoes man. If it's green, there's a VERY good chance I don't like it. As I type this, I can't think of a single green thing I like. Oh wait, there's a brand of meatballs and gravy I like that is in a green can. I don't even like apples. Another fun bonus, I was a loner and bad at sports when I was a kid, so I had mediocre at best social skills, and preferred to stay inside. This meant instead of going biking with friends, I preferred to stay inside and either play with legos or my sega. This moved on to my computer, which of course I currently spend all my free time on. So not a whole lot of exercise going on there. Of course, I was slightly overweight then as well, not as much now. On top of this, when it comes to myself at least, I'm pessimistic. This played a hand in school as well (Why bother even trying to write that essay, I'm not going to finish it, and if I do it's going to be crap and I'll have to redo it anyways), and of course the whole exercise to lose weight thing is a given. Why bother exercising, when I know that it would take weeks to months to see any benefit, and even then I'll probably stop doing it anyways? And if that wasn't enough, the standard excuse of my family has a history of being overweight applies, at least on my mother's side. Guess who I'm more like. Funfact though, I don't drink, smoke, or do any drugs (Except for the ones that were prescribed to me: These were for unrelated matters, and I stopped taking then when not required). This does give me a bit of a sense of pride, but I still shy away from trying anything new (Which is probably why I'm still eating at that same pizza place, and still have the same thing every day there, and have not gotten sick of it...) and of course that means that it's unlikely my routine will change any time soon. If all of this means a shorter lifespan, so be it. It'd be great to see stuff happen in the future, but in the end my life's not going to matter much. I even had a few ideas I've had for years that I'd love to expand on to see if they work, but again, that would be too much of a change, and I'd be afraid of failure with them, because it would mean wasting money. Even if they worked, and it really changed something I'd hate it because I hate attention, at least in real life. I'd be the hermit who never leaves his house except for grocery shopping and work. Hell, that's me now, except I don't need to go shopping, and as I work a good 10 minutes drive away, It's pretty much required that I drive to work. So no exercise there. I could rant on for another bit, but long story short deal with it.

Less chicken bro

[QUOTE=Dashiel;22545444]I'm fat, deal w/it. No, the only reason I'm fat is years of being socially recluse due to severe bullying and developing a sweet tooth after that period. Due to how little I moved when I was growing up my ankles have developed a lot of problems too, I can't walk for more than 5-10 minutes without them being in agony which stops me from doing any real cardio excercise. I'm on a diet though, losing the weight slowly. I can still do around 20-30 push ups without stopping though so.. Meh. I've quite a bit of upper arm strength and most of my weight is carried in my legs and thighs (again, due to how little I've moved.) The thing is, I've never eaten that much. I've always kept to 2-3 meals a day with very little-no snacking in between meals, it's just the large quantities of Soda and sweets I've consumed I 'reckon. January last year I was drinking around 5 cans of Soda a day, I don't drink any non-diet sodas lately though.[/QUOTE] Ever tried swimming? It works if your body is weak in some way, as the water takes the strain off ALL joints.

[QUOTE=jack254;22545198] none of this should be news to anyone, but seriously, how can people get fat? i once thought i had over an inch of fat on my stomach, so i did around 10 situps every day for around a week and i lost it all. its not hard. [/QUOTE] Doing 10 situps a day wont make you lose any fat.

[QUOTE=lulzbocks;22547319]Genes do not make you fat or skinny. Genes can hurt or help your metabolism. Having a bad metabolism is no excuse for being fat. It's not that difficult to stay skinny as long as you exercise and eat relatively healthy foods (You don't need to be a health food nut, just don't stuff your face with hohos and twinkies). Fatness is caused by laziness. Obviously is you have a medical disorder or you're on medication that makes you fat, then there's nothing you can really do. I'm not talking about those people.[/QUOTE] This is bullshit. My dad does about 18 hours cycling a week and only maintains a stable weight. He doesn't over eat either.

I am underwieght, and I feel awesome. I don't need to work out, but I do sometimes to not get weak bones. And I can eat an amazing amount of food without adding weight. I think it's called high metabolism or something

I would feel bad for myself if I had to buy 2 seats for an airplane.

ITT: Fat people come up with excuses as to why they are fat. Skinny, normal people laugh at them. On to the next thread!

[QUOTE=koekje4life;22545352]Some meds are an excuse for fatness.[/QUOTE] this. sucks.

[QUOTE=Ehmmett;22567082]I could make basic sense of it. You don't quite grasp what Dyslexia is, do you? I'll bet you're one of those people who think that Dyslexia makes every letter look upside down, aren't you?[/QUOTE] It's a learning disability, It's a good enough excuse for some people with shitty grammar skills..

[QUOTE=haloguy234;22548188]I think it's a combination of metabolism, habits, and self-esteem. Let's face it. There are pretty weak people out there. If someone is weak enough to drown their sorrows in alcohol, someone is weak enough to drown their sorrows in a hefty box of Oreo's. [editline]11:37PM[/editline] And then a snowball effect kind of happens. People say "My god you're fat." And then they just keep putting on the weight. It's a vicious cycle that can only be broken by someone who [I]truly[/I] is sick of being obese.[/QUOTE] Alcoholism is a disease.

[QUOTE=DeanWinchester;22568235]Being gay because of a genetic deficiency is very rare, most "gay" people are just gay because they want to. There's physical gay and psychological gay, most of them are psychological. I just don't get why being psychologically gay is kind of accepted but being "crazy" isn't.[/QUOTE] That's completely wrong. It may not be genetic, but it's definitely not by choice.

I'm about 5'10'', 210 pounds. I wouldn't say I'm fat, but...stocky, I suppose. I would say it's genetic, as two of my grandparents have diabetes and my father had a heart attack when he was 38... but then again, I am pretty damn lazy.
