Disgusted With - or - Feel Sorry For

Plu - you rule. I agree with everything you have said here - and more. Except for the blue eyed thing - But yes - all other points agreed on! I've starved myself to get super skinny - and got very ill because of it. I'd rather not go into that here - but suffice to say that we're going to have fun swapping stories when I meet you matey!

 

To fuck a TBR guy or post your picture?

 

I survived it. I may have scared the hell out of some people or maybe blinded them with my balding forehead. But what the hell.

 

Well theres your problem. You don't need to starve yourself to get skinny. Just burn more calories than you take in. Exercise is always hard at first but after awhile you start to crave it. Its just having the willpower to get over that hump.

 

Bollocks! Get posting Chip - we've all done it. You're one of us now - you gotta. It's the rules.

 

I understand and appreciate that. The question I wish more people would ask themselves, and I have no reason to make any negative assumption about you in particular, is what they THINK when they encounter one of these people. My belief is that many people treat these people fine (except the real raving assholes), but in their minds automatically resent and judge these people as weak or inferior for not controlling their weight. I'd prefer that people were able to understand that these people may have the physical ability to control their weight, but they have some pain or issue in their lives that they are not yet able to overcome that is making it so they are not. For some reason, many people seem unable to extend their hearts to people that they feel aren't meeting their standards of effort. To me, either way and for whatever reason, it's aperson in pain, and that in and of itself is deserving of my sympathy. I guess the judgementalism is partially rooted in the stories we read about these people seeking compensation for their own problems via lawsuits. The problem is that this is a very small percentage of people, but it hardens peoples' hearts to all of them because of the allegiance so many hold to the almighty dollar. That's my rant.

 

alright Farmer for starting a 7 page post so far...

I personally think woman look MUCH better with a little meat on their bones. My brother's (now "ex) girl is a waif - I mean - bean-pole.... She has tiny little "waist and protruding hip bones that you can see cause all of her pants (even pj bottoms) are "low-riders" yuck! That looks more skanky to me than a woman with some softer curves. I mean - what if that girl got sick? where are her reserves?? She's waste away while a "healthy" girl would still be kicking... That's more attractive IMO.

Oh and I have BLUE eyes and am a bit heavier than I should be probably for 5'10" - I'm probably like 180.

 

I've seen Chip. I think builder would do him.

 

Yup - I know that now Sly - but at the time I didn't see the logical way around it. I guess it goes back to my previous posts about disorders. Plus, I got on a `roll' (no pun intended) with the diet and exercise thing - and it wasn't healthy. I now have a greater understanding - but not just from a physical point of view - but from a psychological standpoint. Put it this way - I had to tackle it from a different view...move through some other crap before I got to the problem.
