@pub – Why do you say “Don’t tell me because you pay for the health care.”? All the statistics I’ve seen show that being overweight causes their health care to be higher than average. If there is a reason that this isn’t a valid concern, I’d be very interested in hearing about it.

I just can’t believe these comments. Why is it your business? Don’t tell me because you pay for the health care. Just a bunch of totalitarian people who want to force others to do what they want. Let me guess, you’re liberals.

That’s so ignorant. Why would it be your business or your right to hurt someone’s feelings just so you can tell them they’re fat. You don’t think they know? You’re a rude person who’s intolerant to fat people and wanted to put down the American culture, so you came up with some crap about how it’s so enlightened to let people know they’re fat and tell them that.

How old are you?

I’ve known this person 20 years and just today she sends me a picture of her 3 kids. There all young adults, under 30 and there all fat. She wanted me to notice her kid had just graduated and all I could see was how fat they all were! She’s not particualarly thin and has had many health problems but proclaims there all happy and healthy and was upset I mentioned they were over weight! Good lord! Talk about denial at it’s finest! I mean come on!

Just found this website and I’ve been looking through all the posts. Very nice site you’ve got here! Will be adding it to my homepages.

Anyway, I really loved this article. The near-mandatory “political correctness” of this country is NOT something that makes me happy to be an American. Not only does it hinder progress in people’s lives, but it also just makes us look like a bunch of weenies who can’t handle the truth. If we could learn to forgo the ‘erm’s, ‘um’s, and ‘well’s, and quit with the “I never!”s when someone is honest and obviously means no harm, I’m sure we’d all be in a much better state.

As for being a fatty being so harmful to your health, I couldn’t agree more. If I had my way white sugar and white flower would be outlawed!

This is a very good posting.

I live in Mississippi, the state with the highest obesity rate in our nation. Our obesity problem stems from the fact of a very, very unhealthy tradition of eating. Not only are we encouraged to eat unhealthy but to eat lots of it. Our great grandmothers and grandmothers and mothers, took such pride in their cooking and to not eat lots of it, was offensive to them. Their cooking involved tons of sugars and fats. I grew up in this environment and I really got FLUFFY. But my grandmothers would say, “Look at the Boy He’s so healthy”(No Grandma, I’m FAT). So I really agree with K, it’s generational.

What changed my disposition was that I got fed up with all of the negativeness associated with obesity. For example: Fatigue, Unhealthy, unattractiveness, and the list goes on. My first step was to go on a detox program, which included juicing. After the juicing I altered my diet to more fruits and veggies. I began to notice a change in everything. I felt so much better, I began to drop pounds, etc. THIS WAS THE MOST POWERFUL MOTIVATOR FOR ME. It wasn’t someone telling me I was obese. Because many times people’s comment to someone that they are fat are usually destructive(Comical in nature, making fun of, insulting) and not constructive at all.

Now, my whole lifestyle has changed, I eat lots of fruits and veggies. I eat organic foods, workout, detox, etc.

I have friends and people that I know who were unhealthy and overweight. I care for them and I wanted to take them directly to the solution. I would cooked healthy meals and offer them some. They gladly ate it. As we ate I talked of the benefits of eathing healthy and how it can be fun and not boring. I recommended supplements and detox programs, etc. You want believe how many people I’ve helped with this approach. Once they saw and felt the benefits, as I did, it became the motivator for them. I was so happy. They were people just like you and me, who simply needed someone to gently lead them to the solution.

So my suggestion, is to help lead people to a solution, instead of just pointing out their problem.
