Google Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) Since I'm here anyway.... Not all Fat people are unhealthy. Not all Slim and trim people are healthy. Not all diets ensure that one can be healthy. Some people eat heavily (like myself and a few others I know), but remain slim without the of debilitating conditions such as anorexia nervosa and bohemia. Some people ARE genetically predisposed to being on the broadside, and some are not. As such, WEIGHT is not a clear indication of one's health, and eating a healthy is a double-edge sword.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> chunky, i have to disagree with you on your first statement that not all fat people are unhealthy. what makes you say so? and i think you already met and seen blackcat already. although with the rest of your statements, i have to agree a hundred percent.

black cat Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I really don't want to offend anybody with my statement... I'm just curious why people ... who are obviously have a larger body than the average sized people would say that they are proud to be fat rather than taking time to commit themselves in regualr exercise and diet..... did they lost their will to trim down or what? I used to be really fat when I felt that I need to trim down when I was in highschool.... kasi panget na nga ako then it would be complemented by my very big belly... kay todo exercise ako at diet.. pero not to the extent of torturing myself..... lahat ng tao pwde magpapayat ..... they just need time and determination.. pati discipline... pero bakit ang daming gustong maging large framed sila for life? Why? not to offend kasi marami din ako friends na large...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is the topic Mr. Chunky. I answered it and gave my views about it kaya ako andito. Cheers! Anyway, being overweight/fat is really not healthy. Anything in excessive is not right. I think everyone knows that. Suzuki, kung love handles lang, okay lang yan, wag lang overweight.. kse di na maganda sa health mo yun. Eat sensibly na lang, I'm sure you have enough cardio activities already (hehehe)... it's for your own good mister. Mmwah! :* Quote Link to comment

There are people who are,well, fat, but are diagnosed HEALTHY by doctors, because of their bone structure. What is unhealthy, is people who can't support the additional weight they put in everyday with the bones they are born with. I am slim, but I am not eating healthy (though, I try to balance it whenever I can). The outside appearance is HARDLY an indicator of one's health. There are people who LOOK healthy, but have high cholesterol levels (not that I do). There are people with washboard abs and muscular bodies, but suffer illnesses brought on by the lack of necessary nutrients that are lost during dieting. Now, if one is big boned and predisposed to being on the heavyside, one needs to accept it. DEPRESSION is a far worse condition than being fat itself. Besides, love yourself for what you are. And people will know it. They will appreciate you more for it. Quote Link to comment

Health is not just in the physical, but MENTAL as well. Overly dieting people, or those who care too much how they look, are UNHEALTHY people in my book. As for Black Cat, I haven't met her. I only noted her picture in the gallery, but since anyone can post ANY picture, I'll reserve judgement when I see her in person (no offense meant BC). Quote Link to comment
Guest Dobermaxx Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I'm a big guy. I wouldn't say I'm proud to be fat but I'm not ashamed of it either. I haven't always been big. In my younger days I was in great shape. I'm in a happy marriage, I'm pretty successful professionally and I enjoy my life. Who cares if I'm big, I'm happy. Quote Link to comment
philos Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I suppose the real issue here is whether one's self esteem should suffer on account of body mass. I think it shouldn't, although it would be nice if we were all physically healthy, a low self esteem would definitely agravate things. And like Dobermaxx says, its more important if you're happy with everything else. Cant say Im proud to be fat, but im fine with it. Quote Link to comment

♀~§assy§pirit~♀ Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 hmmn.. proud in a way.. let other people call it an imperfection but i see it this way: my imperfections are what made me the person that i am... these are the things that built my character, my personality & my uniqueness that no other person can do better... than me Quote Link to comment

Cant say Im proud to be fat, but im fine with it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree... :cool: Mr. Chunky, I would like to point out that what we've been discussing here is more of the "general rule".. of course, it's already a given that in every rule, there is an exception. If someone is overweight or underweight.. well, both conditions are not the average di ba.. might as well do something to correct it. I didn't say though that it is automatically unhealthy. But the possibility that is is indeed unhealthy should be taken into consideration since it is not within average. If you have taken the CBC, take note that the normal amounts are indicated beside your actual count. That's what I'm talking about... being overweight/underweight is not normal. Anyway, if one is happy with the way he/she is.. I think anyone's unfair judgement towards looks shouldn't matter. If one is really happy, you don't need to sour grape on people who has great bodies. I just stated the harsh realities of life.. I wasn't even the author of it. Guys, I have a question (I hope Mr. Chunky would also answer): If you're currently hiring an assistant.. 2 ladies were shortlisted.. meaning, they're both intelligent, both came from a good school, and lastly, parehong maganda ang mukha. Ang difference lang, yun isa mataba (hindi chubby ha, mataba!) tapos yun isa sexy. Sino ngayon ang pipiliin nyo? Yun lang po. Cheers everyone! Quote Link to comment
