I hardly care what others think of me and I wouldn't get them removed even if I had the money. Do I think it's worth it to lose weight? Yes in the fact that I have an easier time of moving around, but I like being able to throw my weight around at times. Other than that I don't like being skinny because I like being my big self. All my friends think of me as big and cuddly. I like being big and cuddly. C(^.^C) Can I has hugs?
 
     
 
I'm considered skinny. Prove that I'm opposed to fat people. I know some people don't have the same metabolism as me. I hardly exercise (although for the record, I don't eat much either so I suppose it makes up for it). I won't judge them for something they may not have much control over.

Thanks to everyone who sent me a Christmas gift! I can't wait for XMas to open them! <3
You get stretch marks from being really muscular too.

HUGE POST! Be forewarned.

Tutela de Xaoc

I think the Op's point was, that being a little chubby is not a bad thing.

Perhaps...
Tutela de Xaoc

I'm saying the majority of the women I've met inside and outside of school, are simply simple headed and uber materialistic when they are skinny. They cruise through their childhood without a blemish or a scar, dating all the popular guys and having sex with whoever they choose.


I was going to be more objective and wait until having finished reading all posts prior to commenting... but you struck a nerve with me on this note.
1.) Being skinny =/= Being attractive
2.) There are other factors to beauty not mentioned in your argument regarding skinny people and their popularity and their ease of life.
3.) I am skinny. I have not breezed through life once. I have struggled and fought against the hardcore ditzy materialistic popular girls, and by choosing this mentality, I became an instant outcast of the popular crowd.
4.) Men will put their penises inside anything with a v****a, IF THE OWNER OF THE v****a PERMITS THEM TO DO SO. This is a matter of CHOICE.
5.) I know fat women who have much more MEANINGFUL sex, because it is not solely lusty kinky roar passionate sex, but often can be stemmed from the hatred of skinny people, or the hatred of their feeble-mindedness.
6.) Many people who are thin actually make great philosophers, teachers of life, and great conversationalist, especially the older crowd. I am reminded of two males, both of which happened to have their sexuality questioned.
7.) Regarding #4, having a s**t self-esteem, a negative attitude, and a generalized hatred of any group of people (something I am horrifically opposed to) is going to radiate from within your soul outward to the people of this world, and they can easily pick up on it, and will learn quickly whether or not you should be embraced with love and appreciation, or avoided like the Black Plague.

Heavier people, having been teased their entire life, actually have real goals and real life expectations rather than living in drama world.


So people with skew teeth, acne, smaller breasts (to the point of questioning whether or not the person is a woman or a gay man), disgustingly oversized birthmarks/moles... are not teased?
What about people who have negative attitudes, awful personalities, and just make you wish you were legally permitted to sew their mouth shut? Those people irk us all. They're beyond being only teased.
It appears that this comparison to skinny people is such a broad generalization, and is such an overdramatized attack on how lame skinny people are, without acknowledging other aspects of beauty, that one can only read it as a drama world of its own. Your (or anybody's, for that matter) attempt to feel better about yourself should never stem from comparisons to other people.

Plus, wrestling with a heavier woman in bed is much fun. Skinny girls are just complete wimps and complain too much...(about everything). v.v.


This is cute, but I only complain when bony elbows hit my temples. Honestly, fat people make excellent pillows and are fun to snuggle with - and I always feel guilty sitting on anybody, because the pain my bony a** will cause them is immense... having no a**, as a woman, is not a fun thing.

Neither is having an a** tonne of acne, less than perfectly straight, perfectly white teeth, a crooked/large nose, or any other physical feature you can not possibly tolerate about yourself.
Well, this concludes ripping you a new one in the form of a wake up call.

Back to the OP...

The goal in our lives should not be to "lose weight". It should be to eat healthfully, get enough cardio-vascular exercise (if possible, and without straining ourselves), and make other choices to promote physical, mental, and spiritual wellness. (My Leisure professor would be so proud).

I, as a skinny person, do NOT believe for one stinking second that ALL fat people NEED to LOSE WEIGHT. I do, however, believe that most people need to make better choices in their lives (myself included).
We need to read, learn, and do other activities that are enjoyable and affordable (once we fail to afford them, depression sets in, and our lives are not as fulfilling as before), and improve our lives not only with regards to what we eat and what forms and types of exercises we do, but with regards to expanding our minds, our knowledge, and focusing on improving ourselves in all aspects of wellness.

Just because your roommate is overwhelmed with academic stresses and pressure, does not mean that they, or you, have an excuse to choose to be lazy and not exercise, if you both want to. It is a difficult choice to make, especially if it was not a commoon choice for us as a youth, but once it is made, anybody may accomplish anything - especially with small commitments at a time.

As for stretch marks, I've seen a marathon runner at the age of 41 who had given birth to twins at one point in her life (ie major weight gain difference there) in a bikini, and she was freaking hot. Yes, she had UBER Stretch marks!! If I was a full-fledged lesbian, I would have asked her for her number. But not because she was skinny. She had a wonderfully positive attitude, and was knowledgeable about current events/affairs, and seemed to have that older woman wisdom about her... But, I'm not a lesbian, so I didn't.
Also, I acknowledged a woman in one of my classes for her confidence, though I think it could be, unfortunately, an over-compensation for her lack of confidence. =( However, it fooled me temporarily, because I thought her self esteem was way up there, and maybe, she has to face the challenge of feeling down every once in a while (you know, like a reality check), and has to fight to get her self esteem back. I just wish she wouldn't assume because she's big, she's not hot - because she is very beautiful, and the more happy and confident she is, the more beautiful she is.

Oh, and by the way, look to Renaissance art, because frankly, they knew what was attractive was back then. I was never propositioned for sex by any African while in Africa, because they don't like skinny twigs for women - they like their women to be rounder, more motherly. And frankly, I think I am much less motherly than my rounder counterparts. Hell, I'm a negative creep, so stay away! You have been warned.

If you're so fat that you have to take a ferry instead of the chopper, or you can not bus tables in your restaurant where you are the chef... you may want to try considering taking small steps toward a healthier lifestyle - such as eating vegetables and fruits along with your normal diet, and trying to move a little bit more... it has to be done slowly so your body has time to adjust, and before you develop carnirotary (w/e) disease. After you develop the disease... avoiding stress is key while slowly improving your life one small step at a time.

Many people who diet and exercise in their attempt to lose weight are 50 times healthier than skinny people who eat crud food and don't exercise. Always remember that just because physical work is not needed to help skinny people become skinny, sometimes, they are so beyond ******** up in the head, that their mentality, emotional/mental stress causes them to burn calories at a rate that could kill them just as easily as you will get those stretch marks when you lose weight. Just don't gain any more weight because you think there's no point.

Being healthy (physically, emotionally, and mentally) makes you more likely to succeed in life.

LOL OP is a ******** idiot. rofl that was a good laugh. leaving now.
 
     
the dead who had wished to live and the living who wish to die are the same. they have lost all that is precious to them.
 
Interesting viewpoint about losing weight and scarring, but at the end of the day one is indefinitely healthier, assuming that weight loss is an accurate step in your life's best interest. Essentially if it allows you to be healthier the stretch marks are worth enduring; after all stretch marks don't lead to heart disease.

Again, the weight loss itself is not the reason for living healthier, it's the factors that cause said weight loss (eating right, non-sedentary lifestyle, etc). Weight loss is but the symptom, not the cause.

That is beyond backwards and poorly said.

No, it isn't.

CONCLUSIONS: Overweight diabetic adults trying to lose weight have a reduced risk of all-cause mortality, independent of whether they lose weight.


So, with that being said by the NIH, losing weight itself is not the key. Having a healthy lifestyle is. Losing weight is a symptom of living a healthy lifestyle, but it is not the CAUSE of a healthy lifestyle.

It doesn't change the fact that with healthier lifestyles, their mortality DECREASED, independent of weight loss. It fits in this situation. The whole "trying to lose weight" part infers that the people are following a healthy diet and are active, which is key to living longer, and regardless of whether or not they lost weight, they had a decreased risk.

It also doesn't actively disprove anything. As a matter of fact all it proves is that trying is better than not trying, regardless of success, not that successful weight loss isn't healthier than trying and failing.

I don't even think I need a report by the NIH to tell me that. It's obvious.

For your Digestion: Trying is better than not trying.

It proves that healthy living decreases mortality as well, which is what I've been trying to say. Trying to do things healthy is better than not trying. Weight loss, as I said, is just a by-product of said healthier living.

Which is incorrect. If weight-loss is a by-product then weight-loss is guaranteed by living healthier. Sadly the world is not that simple and moreover your repetition isn't actually proof. As a matter of fact the only point you've made is one no one contested: Trying is better than not trying.

It is a byproduct for some, but not for all. I mean one can lose weight by not eating anything but a piece of bread a day, others by simply increasing their activity. It is a byproduct, but it shouldn't be considered the ultimate byproduct of health. As the study said, just because you didn't lose weight doesn't mean you aren't healthy. It just means you didn't lose weight. The health benefits were STILL there, INDEPENDENT of weight loss.
