walking is exercising man, and like you said you did a lot of walking which is good. little exercise and little diet can be somewhat helpfulCaptain Beard said:

obesity is something that can be avoided...alot of americans just sard and dont take good care of themselves...some just have thyroid problems and really cant do a whole lot about it (although they can try to keep the weight down in most cases)
i have a friend who is overweight..very overweight, yet does nothing about it..theres no hormone problem or big bonedness, just fat...she doesnt do anything to help herself...(mainly cuz she sleeps all day due to late night workshifts) but even when she does have time, no working out...it angers her fiance who is overweight as well but he is trying really hard to lose it!
i dunno, i understand Sammehs anger but i also understand Karens viewpoint....

Well in any case, this guy didn't get to be 500 freakin pounds due to genetics. He was 360 (probably less originally, since that was his weight at the jail), then ate his way up to 500 with stolen tacos and milkshakes. It's not like he wanted to lose weight, or surely he would have made some kind of effort to do so, or to get some help.

I'm not angry, I just don't like seeing overweight people being the butt of every joke. You can't know their story. Mine is mostly just my own fault, but I've also had a neurological/inner ear problem that rendered me bedridden, save for going to work, for 3 months. My treatment for that ended last week, I wound up gaining over 30 pounds from not being able to do anything without getting dizzy and fainting. I'm not making excuses, just pointing out that you can't know the whole story about a person. It doesn't help my point that there's a fat dude stealing milkshakes.
My point is this: being overweight, like most of the population is, doesn't make you more useless than an underweight person or an average person. Being useless is reserved for emos and trivium fans.

First of all, there is a difference between "FAT" and OBESE
I hate obese people, and I will say it day and night, and nothing will change my opinion.
Fat people on the other hand: so? some people are thin, some people are fat, I have no problem with fat people. Some of them are fat due to parents, genes, or other reasons that are none of my business.
You know what obese people are?
Fucking 500 LBS of useless fast food..... the people who can't even walk anymore and they transport themselves in those motor chairs... the HUGE people who are so fat they have to buy two plane tickets.... those
monster people who are 8800 times bigger than me, yet still ask ME to help them carry a bag of dog food....
yes I am talking about Obese people.
Of course you can't say anything about Mexicans or jews because not all mexicans or jews or black people are "idiots" and you're just generalizing.
but Obese people really are ALL idiots... 500 LBS of useless meat.
When people let themselves get to that stage: they're idiots.
what else can I call them? Seriously ... you can't tell me its "NORMAL"
and that I'm being oh-so-mean! You can't tell me you see those poeple who can't even walk, go to the grocery store and stack the MAC and Cheese boxes (not after they ask someone to get it off the shelf for them) and your first reaction is "AWWWW" come the fuck on.
I don't buy the "oh but I'm sick" crap.
Of course they're sick if they eat Taco Bell and Mcdonals EVERY DAY ALL DAY. Of course they are sad and depressed bevause my goatness even XXXL is too small for them....
I'm just saying what everyone is thinking out loud.
again, I'm talking about the OBESE,....not fat people.
And no one on this board is obese so no one should take it personally.

You're far far from being Obese!

I'm not taking it personaly but I do not exactly agree. I don't think the stupidity of those people is to blame. The obsession with/addiction to food (fast food or not) is of course not normal. Appetite is a strictly controlled process in human body which means that deviations such as obesity (Im talking about extreme obesity and not about Oh my God I have to lose 2 kg or no way Im going to fit into this swimming suit!!! cases), anorexia and other eating disorders are connected with failure of that complex mechanism. and need medical help!!! The causesi are linked with psychical processes and it probably is a result of stress and I dont think that hatered is what you should feel about them because its all very concerning because a lot of other processes in human body are dependent on what the individual eats and how much. Obesity in fact can cause a big variety of serious diseases and unstable states such as most of cardio-vascular problems (heart attacks ) and endocrinological states (almost one 1/3 of all population is suffering from diabetes which is in a lot of cases linked with obesity).

I do feel sorry for the morbidly obese people that can't live normal lives. It's a sad existence. You can have your opinion and hate obese people til the cows come home (pun intended) but I think it's a broad generalization to say they're all idiots. They're not. Eating yourself into 400 pounds is gross yeah, but some people have an addiction to food. All alcoholics aren't stupid. Some obese people have a genuine lot of problems and cause them to do stupid things, like drown their problems in food to the point they feel like they can't ever lose it - so they just give up and keep doing it because it's all they have at that point. Like drug addicts and alcoholics. They do it to themselves yeah, but they're not all stupid. It's a problem, a problem that's multiplying across the country by the day.
I'm not making being fat/obese out to be a sob story, but the roots go deeper than "he's a fat pig that's done this to himself, he's useless" for most people with weight problems. You can't know the whole story. People with problems and addictions aren't idiots or useless. They are just dealing with life in a wrong way. And they know it.
Take this guy. He could be 400 pounds of tumors. ;-)

I agree with Lioness and Blackwater both to some extent.
I understand you can't possibly know some people's situations and reasons why they are obese, although I'm sure that the great majority of obese people brought it on themselves in some way with laziness and grose overeating. How do you let yourself go that far (500 lbs?) I would think at some point you would look in the mirror with enough disgust to motivate yourself to change. And if you have trouble breathing and walking? That's gotta be a wake up call. All physical appearances aside, you become succeptible to so many deadly diseases, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes. I don't think that many obese people realize that they could pay for their gluttony with their life.
Don't get me wrong, I have no prejudices based on appearance. No one is perfect. For me it's more a question of health. You can't sit and eat junk food all day long and not move a muscle and sit and cry about being obese. In those cases it's the fault of no one but themselves.
On the opposite side of the spectrum. being a walking skeleton with skin is just as unattractive. It's really sad that this world is so caught up in appearance that you can go online and find websites on how to be anorexic or bulemic. They keep trying to shut these sites down, but they go right back up again under a different name.
So I think as long as you are staying generally healthy and happy with yourself, then hats off to ya.
