I want these last 20 minutes of my life back please.
Being confident and accepting of your body is awesome but in my eyes, a bit shortsighted. Life will catch up to you, it just will.
But I am not here to harp on you or anyone else, best of luck to you on whatever you want out of life.0 -
OP posts at 2pm and generates 15 pages................wow, if only my posts generated that much interest. Keep calm and carry on people. Let it be. We all have goals, not all of us have to approve or agree. Just my 2 cents.0

Totally agreed. While we're bxtching at her for not working out, we're all sitting in front of our computers (probably with snacks) talking about how fat other people are.
Ugh, I'm getting on my stationary bike & watching Harry Potter weekend. Goodnight

Really.
Oh my god... woman,just stop pls.....You really are getting ridiculous...I would like to see some peer reviewed studies that show overweight people are more unhealthy.
But meanwhile you can read through this...

Oh no don't stop I am having a good time just hitting refresh and seeing the next great comment LOL
Me quit? Not until it rolls over.
Look people, I wholeheartedly believe in health at every size -- some of you I will genuinely converse with, others... well, I am having some funsies with you.
"wholeheartedly believe in health at EVERY SIZE"
I just... I don't know... REALLY????
So, 5'4" 500 lbs... can be healthy?
So, 5'4" 65 lbs... can be healthy?
Is it my fault you can't google? Health at any/every size is focusing on other indicators of health aside from weight. It just means people are committed to loving themselves and changing to improve their HEALTH, not weight. It's a system of motivating yourself from a source of pride, not shame.0 -

what? how is that possible? There are people who are too fat to get out of bed. You think someone can be healthy at 1,000 pounds?
As she stated, she is the actual troll on this thread.0 -
This seems like a train wreck of a post... OP, you want to be fat and unhealthy...and yes being obese is extremely unhealthy then more power to you. This isn't the place to come and speak all that mess. People are here to better themselves, work hard, and lose the unhealthy weight to live a better healthy sustaining life style. While you are free to be anywhere you like, take all that mess somewhere else.0

I'm trying to figure out how sarahz1442 knows OP is 200 pounds overweight.
Here's a pointless, yet humorous gif:

Welcome to MFP. I am in a similar boat to you. I definitely want to get healthier but I have no plans of ever being "skinny." I hope you can find motivation!
Good Luck!
Doesn't seem to me you're in a "similar boat" to the OP ~ your ticker reads your goal is to lose 175 lbs, OP expressed "My goal isn't weight loss".
I'm not convinced many here have plans to be "skinny" either, so I'd say likely a good many of us are actually in a "similar boat" to you. 0 -

I went to the gym in the middle of the arguing and ran 3.75 miles. Then I came back.
I was surprised that the thread wasn't locked by the time I came back.0 -
You don't stick out. You fit in. We all started somewhere.0

Her ticker says 180 to lose, seems like they are in the same boat.0 -
I sort of wish this site had a thingy where you could vote up answers you liked best and vote down answers you liked the worst so that all the good stuff would be at the top.
But, back to topic, best wishes on your journey! Feeling better is AWESOME! (For me, feeling better came by limiting my calories to the point that I had to work out to get my snacks in between meals. I wanted that extra 100 or 200 calories! Working out made me feel SO much better! So did spacing my meals and working on even calories about every meal. No more constant migraines, no backaches, less stress, less guilt, no sugar rush headaches and crashes. Aaaaah. SO much better!) I wish the same for everyone!0 -

Well next time you make outrageous statements, make sure you point out that you're referencing a 'movement'. It would save a lot of confusion.
And I'm out.

I haven't read this whole thread so maybe this is a silly question, but to you like being "fat" or do you just make a point of accepting yourself as you are, positive self-image and all that?I'm a bit of a misnomer on this site. I'm a fat girl, heavy into body positivity, who has no intentions of not being fat. What?! Crazy, I know!
Lately I've realized just how physically not-so-great I feel, so I'm trying to honor my body by using intuitive eating and moving more. My goal isn't weight loss or changing the way my body looks. My goal is simply feeling better. If the habits I form cause me to lose weight, so be it, but it's not my intention or my goal.
I think that "I want to feel healthier" is probably a pretty common motivation for adopting healthier habits, although it's not one that's talked about socially as much as wanting to look better.
There are plenty of people who are "fat" and healthy/athletic, although other people who identify themselves as "fat" seem to dispute the idea that those people actually qualify as "fat."
For awhile before joining MFP, I was distinctly *ignoring* my body; besides unhealthy eating habits, this was particularly problematic for me as a home seamstress, because knowing my body is rather important. I do have weight loss goals, but my primary motivation for being here is to reconnect with my body, not to feel like it's some separate entity that's not connected to me. I'm also finding that I'm enjoying exertion a lot more than I did before. I was doing some exercise all along because my dog won't let me get away with not walking, but that's not too physically demanding. This year I'm getting an enjoyment out of more strenuous work in the garden that I hadn't gotten before.
It depends on how you're naturally built, too.
If you lost weight while getting healthier, would you feel like you had lost some important part of yourself?0 -
I hope that everyone can recognize the fact that this may the beginning of something none of us can predict. I think a start is a start. If someone wants to make lifestyle changes for the better, all sorts of wonderful things can and will follow. Judge not folks.
I agree with this. NO judgement from me. Feel free to add me =] I will however just say that, even though your blood sugars and all are great now doesn't mean they will be in 6 months or a year. I had the same line of thinking because my numbers were always perfect until right before I started my journey on here 7 1/2 weeks ago. I'm NOT saying this will happen to you, by any means but, I do feel it's common. One day you're "healthy" as far as numbers go and the next....not so much....I do wish you the best of luck with your journey! 0 -

I did 40 minutes on the elliptical before I even responded. I wish internet bickering burned calories.0 -
Its not about being comfortable being fat...Its more about trying to stay alive and not die from diabetes or heart disease. You can feel good about yourself but saying your comfortable being obese and fine with it is frankly a fall back on being lazy.
Trolling or not this site is about motivation and losing or maintaining your fitness goals. Dropping by with "I'm fat and proud" is not something any of us care about. Find a site about being fat, exchange some recipes and sit back and wait to die prematurely. That is the site you're looking for.
I like how you assume this lady is a troll and lazy without really paying attention to a word she wrote. For you to assume that you know her better is frankly the height of hubris, and is downright stupid, not to mention insulting. So pat yourself on the back for this post and remember to log how many calories you burned preaching and trying to make yourself look good (which you failed at miserably).
To the OP, welcome to the site and good luck to you!
The title of her post is " A fat girl that likes being fat" So from that I was supposed to see some other deeper meaning? Get out of here with your page 15 commentary. "Trying to look good" Its the internet and my reply to her was the 1st post I made here and I only did so because it was a horse**** post IMO.
I assume she is a troll and lazy......lulz.....half the posters here now see it as a look at me post so the troll deal I hit on the head. As far as the lazy part? She is 200 pounds overweight. That doesn't scream track star mate.0 -

Here's a pointless, yet humorous gif:
I estimated it based on her picture. I don't know for sure that's the exact number.0 -

Gee, I didn't see anyone bxtching about that. Didn't read the OP say she doesn't work out anyway. Far as I know she said she plans to move more.0 -

Don't be silly! This kind of advanced internet forum technology won't be widely available until at least 1998.

The OP's sticker says that? I scrolled back and didn't see that, but see she did state in her first post "My goal isn't weight loss or changing the way my body looks". Maybe I missed something?0 -

Not drinking.
And borderline trolling I suppose is acceptable criticism. I do believe everything I wrote but I could have walked away long ago. I am shocked it is still up over some of the nasty things that were written. Honestly, I am somebody who is passionate about other people having positive self images because loving yourself is a much better motivator than hating yourself or shame.0 -
Scanning through a few of the comments here, it's obvious that this site has a large number of people that think numbers are more important than a healthy lifestyle. I would love to have someone as positive as you as a mfp friend.
how could someone who is over 200 pounds overweight have a healthy lifestyle????
So, are you sitting there with a list of "typical things people say when discriminating against obese people?" when you respond? It's sad and hilarious.
what? I don't discrminate against obese people. It's sad and hilarious that I'm pointing out the obvoious that being over 200 pounds overweight is not healthy? not following why that's sad and hilarious.
You don't discriminate against obese people yet you assume they all have an unhealthy lifestyle. Glad we cleared that right up!
Oh come on! Let's be realistic here, shall we?! Someone doesn't become 200lbs overweight by eating 10000 calories of green leafy veggies! Overeating junk food everyday is indeed an unhealthy lifestyle.0 -
Ok, lets get off this person's case for a bit. One step might generate a change that even she did not anticipate. If she is happy with her body, then we should allow her to be. We should not judge as many of us are facing our own demons and facing the battle everyday. Lets be positive with whatever she would like from this site. Today's society is so judgmental I think we should follow her lead and be positive about the changes we are all capable of!!!0

This article is talking about how 190 billion dollars are spent annually in the United States (tax payers dollars) to deal with morbid obesity. I am not sure where you are from, I don't really care, but morbid obesity is an issue in a lot of other countries as well.
Anyone supporting her decision to be morbidly obese is truly an idiot. She claims she wants to be "healthy & feel better" but, unfortunately she isn't going to be healthy or feel better until she loses all the weight she needs to. Her health is going to progressively get worse and she is going to have to deal with the consequences of it.
Some of these consequences could be diabetes, congestive heart failure, asthma, infertility, etc....
You are covering up the emotional & physical pain that being severely overweight has caused you by convincing yourself that you "like" the way you look and that you are "comfortable" in your own skin. You are delirious & setting a bad example for everyone else.
You are limiting yourself.0 -
