JawD 31 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Right aye, sorry crossed wires. Obesity is a bigger problem in te number of people, I think I meant that one obese person is not necessarily worse, but still bad as one that is waaaay to thin.

Woodgate27 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 The BMI Index is a load of bollocks anyway. According to BMI I'm Obese (well actually just "overweight" now, I've been shedding the kilos) when I have a body like adonis with a tiny little pot belly. Joke tbh.

Renton 18043 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Try the Tenerife diet - I've lost 7 pounds in only 3 days! Now 6 foot and weigh 13 stone 9, and yet still get the piss ripped out of me on every other thread on here! Even by people who have never met me! Personally though, I'd like to be a lower weight as it makes me look and feel better, in a literal sense. There's no need for the piss-taking of fat people which is exemplified by this board though - really, whose business is it how fat you are other than yourself and possibly your doctor?

Tenerife diet is when you eat some rancid piece of crap and then purge yourself for the next 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Let me jump onto the bandwagon here. One of the biggest groups of people I see at work are patients with thyroid problems. You know, there are more people out there with thyroids that are out of whack than you'd realise. If you could, I guarantee you that if you did a poll of people you know, be it friends or work associates, you'd know a few people taking thyroxine because they are now clinically hypothyroid. But then you get the people whose thyroid is racing out of control, you know how they deal with that? They knock it out essentially and make the patient hypothyroid and then give them medication. Sure you get obese people that are just obese, but I promise you quite a number of them will have hormonal problems that they just don't know about. In society today where it's taboo to be racist, sexist, xenophobic, whatever the fuck you want to call it, there is one group of people that it's still seemingly ok to label. The overweight. If this was a thread where we had 20 people agreeing with a post of "I hate them blacks/whites/women/Jews" this thread would be locked and all those posters labelled as racist, narrow-minded fucks. But bashing the overweight? Aw hell yeah, let's go for it. Wankers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Maul 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I really don't mind people with a little bit of flab here and there but when people get like this... ...that's when I want to run over and start lacing into their flaps of fat and call them every name under the sun.

Gejon 2 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 We have a women where I work who in the 6 years I have been there has been off sick more than she has been in the office. Thats when it goes a little bit too far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9230 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I live with a girl who has a dodgy thyroid and yet she manages to keep a good figure. I know there ARE reasons why some people get over-weight, but I doubt that it's impossible for them to combat it. it's more the people who bemoan their weight yet do fuck all about it. I'd agree with Steve if being fat had NOTHING to do with choice. You don't choose be gay, black or whatever, You can choose to do something about your weight.

This creature at work was doing things about her weight (yeah right) but the few times she does show her face in the office she eats all fucking day!

Woodgate27 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I literally don't have a thyroid and I still manage to keep my weight down, through exercise and healthy eating, so I don't see it as an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
