You can always sit on him!Point44 said:Fat sucks man...
I've just been told by 4 different people in 24 hours to lose weight...
Went to the ear, nose and throat doctor and he said lose weight and you'll snore less...
Went to the orthopaedic surgeon today and he kept making fun of me...
I think the key is you can eat anything but in moderation...and exercise...that way you can still taste good food and still be in good shape...
Just imagine a life without pizza, cheeseburgers, lamb chops etc...NOOOOO!!!!!
Mr.BadExample said:My great-grandfather used to braise the fat from a cut of meat on the side of the wood-burning stove and eat it, he lived to be 94. Though I highly doubt his lifestyle was sedentary.
allenC said:I think alot of our lifespan is determined by our genes, but I think it works in combination with our eating habits.
Example:
Someone might be genetically predisposed toward alcoholism, but it's his choice to abstain from booze or to drink.
Some folks have very efficient bodies and store fat very well, so they have to really monitor their consumption.
Others don't have to worry about it much.
Point44,
The eye-nose-throat doctor was probably being honest.
But you should'nt put up with being teased or made fun of by any doctor.
YOU ARE THE PAYING CUSTOMER!
I work in healthcare (as an Radiographer), and the professional thing to do is treat the patient with respect and dignity.
I'm not saying that we don't have predjudices and that we all "love everybody equally no matter what their appearance".
But openly making fun of you is just down right unprofessional!
BTW,
Heavy patients are not near as bad as obnoxious loudmoths or body-odor-stinking-filthy patients.
Good luck,
Allen.

Kaxter said:I eat ice cream, all fast foods, candy, and drink beer nonstop. I weigh 150lbs and I am 6'2.
I can eat ANYTHING I want and I dont gain a single pound, I eat all day long.
My buddy eats twice a day and gains weight, so I guess it is all genetics.
I just wanted to clarify that. I eat whatever I want because I wont gain a pound, but if I was pushing 300lbs I wouldnt eat much at all.
Walking Man said:Hold on one minute there, Kaxter, Pardon me for asking this, but don't you have a medical condition that causes this? I seem to remember a thread a while back where this was discussed.
