There was also a bedridden-sized lady who lost an immense amount of weight with Richard Simmons' personal attention, IIRC. He started her out with clapping. Just clapping. Which is a heavy exercise if you're bedridden-sized. I think she got down to the "slightly overweight" kind of average older-but-not-quite-elderly lady build, but I could be confusing two people. She did lose enough to be able to walk around, I remember that. All of this is something I read like 18 years ago in one of my mom's magazines, sooooo

Richard Simmons is definitely plenty AUG enough for this thread, but he never gets the credit he deserves for literally saving people's lives. The way he made most of his money is kinda bullshit(those diet plans don't really seem to work), but he used to take on personal projects all the time of people who were in a death spiral and if not for him stepping in they'd definitely be dead. He's probably personally saved the lives of 100+ people.

I'm a being of pure light though still with classically handsome bone structure. My rear end is immaculately shaped as if carved by Kojima himself, but still human and approachable.

Americans have a distorted view on body image, particularly directed toward women. Goons wring their hands about kids growing up in a dystopia too permissive of obesity but our society puts an enormous emphasis on the desirability of women based on their size. My cousin, at 11,used to worry about getting fat because "boys won't like me then". Girls that haven't even hit puberty yet are developing eating disorders.

I'm at work so can't look up the story or anything, but I think he may actually be able to walk again after being bed ridden for years and years. It takes hard work and commitment and a lifestyle change. That's why everyone doesn't do it. Manuel Uribe, He lost a lot of weight but I believe he died before walking again.

There are a lot of people that think he's being held hostage by his long term housekeeper or something. I dunno if that's the case but he certainly has done a complete 180 in personality and that's usually not a good sign.

He's always had issues, and he's pushing 70 now, it may be that his mental health has deteriorated in some way. His Wikipedia page says he did an t.v. interview last year as a response to the rumors but I haven't seen that to judge what condition he seemed to be in at the time.

Americans are fat as gently caress, second only to Mexicans, so this idea of society pressuring all these women to be super thin is obviously bullshit and NWAI (not working as intended).

It's working as intended, people spend billions on stuff that's supposed to make weightloss easy. And other things that aren't always a sign of self-confidence issues, but are often enough. It's not so much society as it is advertising, reinforced by society.

The only reason those advertisements work is because people want an easy solution to their weight problem. So once again it boils down to "lazy." If you do the work and make the changes it will happen 100% of the time. Its just thermodynamics.

You don't know the difference between objectification and idealisation, but you sure have a theory to tell us about how being poor and being fat are the same thing from some no-doubt-enlightened perspective. Please feel free to lay it out in full rather than making these petty little snipes.

Generalising but fat people are lazy bums with poor self control and decision making skills, and often a victim mentality. It's got gently caress all to do with mental illness imo.

Zipperelli. posted:From the last page, but this can't be said enough. I'm 120 pounds and struggling with an injury that paralyzes one of my legs. I alternate between being very athletic and very loving debilitated. On my worst days I can drag myself around with a walker, but the first time I had a problem was the middle of the night on Saturday, and lying on the floor wondering if I should call 911 and be lumped in with 700 pound people who ate themselves into a situation I found myself surprised into was one of the lowest points of my life. oldpainless posted:I will say for some reason i like fat people less after they lose a bunch of weight.
