Today is the day of arguments.
I just got done reaming out Mark for being a jerk.
He only played with Travis all day because Travis has cool games.
But when Travis was in my house the other day, Mark humiliated and embarrassed him because his sneakers made his feet stink.
He was good enough to play with for the games but he smells.
He doesn't like Travis for being Travis, he likes Travis for the games.
Mark is now the proud owner of a new asshole.
It fits with an ongoing argument that I am involved in somewhere else and I am not linking to it because it just keeps going round and round and twisting words and all kinds of crap and she is only one person trying to defend her un-acceptance of people against I don't know even know how many have shown up now.
I will say this.
I was fat. Super fat.
When I moved here in 97', I was a porker. Oink.
It was my own doing.
I ate and ate and stuffed the feelings and shoveled it in.
I lost all that weight. It took hard work and eating better to do it.
I have gained some weight back since my whole back problem began and I am trying to take some of it back off because I have to for surgery.
When I see a heavy person, I don't laugh, snicker, sneer or think they are lazy or gluttonous.
I have been there. Who the hell am I to judge after being a weeble myself?
Yeah, I said weeble.
I wobbled when I walked like a weeble wobble. My thighs rubbed together and sometimes just stayed mushed together.
I had multiple rolls.
Belly button? Uh, it was in there somewhere.
Was I happy? No.
Did I tell myself I was happy? Sure did.
Did I hate all the magazines of thin women and skinny bitches? Yeah, with a passion.
But I hated myself more. I could barely breathe half the time. I had trouble walking up stairs or lifting things. Everything I did made me sweat.
I lost the weight because I wanted to. Because I saw myself becoming very unhealthy and all that.
I'm still not razor thin. I will never be razor thin like a model or an actress.
I don't want to be super thin.
I needed to do this for me.
It's not about fat being gross or even that all fat people should lose weight. It's a personal choice to lose weight or a medical one to save your life.
But don't lie to me and tell me that being fat is healthy.
It isn't.
I know it isn't because I was fat and couldn't walk or breathe.

She is completely immersed in her own delusion. It's sad, really.

She keeps twisting everything I say. No matter how many times I say that I didn't call her a glutton, she says I did. How frustrating. But, I have PMS, am out of smokes, have no chocolate anywhere in the house and gave up drinking a long time ago. I could argue like this for hours. ;)

Off subject, Thanks for the new template on my site! I love it! Thank you!

I'm so glad you like it. I didn't do anything special. I just went to blogskins and copied, pasted etc but I knew you liked Johnny and you wanted a new look. :)

I read the thing over at Joelle's and I didn't realize it extended over here, too. Damn, what a nut. She has to be a very unhappy woman. Sounds like she's taking her anger out on people who have (or continue to try to) conquer(ed) the weight demons. Hell, I was bulimic for nearly seven years. My weight's a real sensitive issue for me sometimes. I still see the forest through the trees. I might not be healthier now (still smoke, etc.), but I feel better 20 pounds lighter. I could stand to lose another 20 or so, but at least I have confidence back and I'm happy.
This woman needs to visit a therapist.

Weight is a very sensitive issue for a lot of people. But this chick, thinks and claims, that being fat is healthy. She actually has the balls to say that losing weight causes heart disease, diabetes and osteoperosis. I mean, hello? What fucking med school or journal did she get that from. That is so bullshit and hundreds of thousands of doctors have proven just the opposite. Being overweight causes diabtes and heart disease. Osteoperosis is not caused by either too much weight or too little weight. It is caused by a lack of calcium which even women who are overweight, do not get enough of.

Hey! Oops; I thought you quit smoking, dahlink. I'm no one to critique - I smoke. Lots.
Anyway, from the pics I saw on your photoblog, you are a beeeoootiful lady, so let's not get the "fat" thing going here... sorry I'm not making a lot of sense, I woke up not long ago. And I'm going back to sleep in a minute or so.
Joelle is usually a pretty funny amusing lady, I dont know about this weight loss issue. Hey! Just do what I did: get completely stressed out and lose 20 lbs! lol. Kidding.

I did quit smoking but I started again. My bad. Terry, thank you about the pics. Notice there aren't any fat ones? It's cuz if anyone tried to take pictures of me in my fat days, I would threaten to kill them. Never piss off a fat woman. We could hurt you.;)
Maybe I will do a post about the cow/pig I was. I was telling my kids about my secret eating that I used to do. Whole cakes baby. I would spend a day making a cake and then eat the whole thing. The whole thing. Oink Oink!

Being over weight is awful. I've been there too - and have gained some back since being on prednisone. It is like being trapped in a body you so much want to get out of. No easy solutions. It is hard work, and I admire anyone who tries. Even if they have to try numerous times. Sometimes people just don't care enough about themselves to want to lose weight, because it is bad for you. Hard on your heart, and causes depression too. It is awful.

That is just insane. I have never known for anyone to say being overweight is healthy. I'm sure you can be overweight and happy, but not healthy.
*shakes head* Some people ....

And, no matter how much NAAFA tries to tell fat people that being fat is healthy, they are dead wrong. You never see fat centurions. ;)

My neighbor is the perfect example of a fat person in denial about his health. He has diabetes, heart disease and kidney problems. He has been told not to eat crap food but he does it anyway. He sits around his house even in winter, in shorts, no shirt, with the air on because he is sweating. Gross. In the summer, he doesn't leave the house because it's too hot and he can't breathe. He still eats crap too even though it will kill him.
