Hey boss, I've been fat all my life. Was a thick baby, they almost had to break my shoulders to get my out. Part of my issue is my thyroid, the other is I'm a super taster and healthy shit tastes bitter and ungodly awful. As a kid I avoided it and continued being big and I'm almost 30. I've only briefly known what being skinny felt like after a strict diet I hated. I got severely depressed and buried my feelings in food. As a fat person losing weight again, I have no respect for you. You're an entitled prick who had the fortune of a coping mechanism and biology that allowed you to probably grow up skinny and developed a lifestyle to keep you that way. It's fucking hard to do that when you're overweight or have biological obstacles.
Sincerely, fuck off, from a fat person.
Sorry about your thyroid problem
Interesting response. You know there's a good amount of people who are fat purely due to their thyroid or other medical issues? People who despite proper eating and exercise are doomed to gain weight anyway. No respect or sympathy for them I gather?
That's why I said sorry. Sorry that you took it sarcastically.
It seemed like a "Sorry for the medical issue but not everything else" kind of apology, so my mistake. Just hoping you end up not holding such disdain for fat people some day.
You weren't mistaken. I was sorry for the one thing out of your control, the rest were your excuses.
"I don't like the taste of healthy foods". So just eat less of the unhealthy foods, you don't need to replace cookies with lettuce to lose weight, just eat one cookie instead of ten. You can control how many calories you eat regardless of how calorie dense the food is. Honestly, grow the fuck up and take some responsibility for yourself.
Your depression eating sucks, but you've identified the issue. The only person who can stop you from over eating is you.
Ah okay so you really were just being pedantic, that's a shame. I didn't say "I don't like the taste of healthy foods" I said that I, as well as many others, are 'supertasters' which makes certain bitter chemicals in many healthy options much more noticable. Imagine, for a moment, everything you enjoy eating being more bitter or spicy than you like and you're being told to eat it anyway or you won't be respected by some guy online.
Lol I'm taking antidepressants, got an active job, and already said I was losing weight. I made those changes. But you do understand that your response to be a fucking asshole to people based on what they look like, knowing there are factors outside their control that can make them look like that, makes you just an insufferable piece of shit, yeah? That people as a whole would rather live among fat people than dicks like you?
Take your own advice. Grow the fuck up and get over yourself. Until then, what and who you respect will mean nothing to anyone. After all, you're the dude who shits on fat people like he never left high school.
I don't think holding people to account for their unhealthy choices is equal to shitting on them, but offense is in the eye of the beholder.
I'm glad you're successfully losing weight, keep it up!
