I am fortunate to be blessed with a genetically thin frame.

My entire immediate family is thin by American standards.

I went to some stores today and, Ok this is not the first time I noticed this

But, these girls are huge

Their kids are huge

Big butts, big cars, big purses, everything oversized

They even show up at the beach like in Bikinis. (OMG)

I would never leave the house.

I have been to EU a few times.

People there think I am French or Italian.

How did this obese epidemic happen?

No wonder American men are fleeing.

These girls don't even seem to care.

WTF!

NO THE PIC IS NOT ME.

SHE IS THE GYM MASSEUSE AND TRAINER FOR GIRLS

SHE IS GREAT/

Peace!

I'll admit I don't have to work on my weight.
It comes easy to me.
And I have some heavy friends.
I feel sorry for them.
But Cher, they DO NOT watch what they eat.
You would not believe all the candy wrappers all over their car and stuff.

Still, I love them.
Yes I do!

Peace!

I don't doubt that you do, just keep in mind that your slimness is down to your metabolic rate and that is a rate that is very youth friendly.

I cannot eat what I used to and stay the same weight I did only 5 years ago.

We went round our discount warehouse today, the place is chocca with sweets, cakes and desserts at giveaway prices, you can get a box of 8 fresh cream profiteroles for the price of a snickers bar. Anyway as I said to the SO "This place is a challenge between what I want to eat, and what I want to look like!"

Every year it gets more difficult, and every year, my choice of eating gets a little bit less.

Caution, I am feral.

Cher,
A slice of pizza, or piece of bread, never crossed my lips for 10 years.
But I did some other gorging like on some frozen yogurts and stuff.
I can not eat a single thing for 3 days if I want to lose some fast inches.
But, my titties suffer.

Peace!

I think that overweight girls probably have overweight Mothers. All the unhealthy things Mom has done she passes on to her daughter. Both are oblivious to their obesity and don't have the will or even the desire to change their habits. Sorry for stereotyping; I know this isn't always the case.

Sometimes you see entire overweight families. So here's my question. Why do guys get away with being fat, and we don't? I've had fat guys tell me how they hate fat girls. WTF?

I have a male friend that is overweight. At one point he weighed over 400 lbs. I talked to him about it and suggested that as a first step he could continue to eat what he liked, just less of it. He would have 2 or 3 helpings each meal and I told him to get down to 1 or 2. He's lost 100 lbs. and his diabetes has gone away because of his new eating habits and exercise. He's also eating healthier things.
And yes, obesity is a societal thing that affects both genders.

Really Cher!
Well, send them over the pond.
We have more than a few chunks here and they are very available.

Alice, one of my sorority friends, tearfully told me last summer she is a virgin.
She is sure she is too big to have sex, she is at least 100 lb. overweight.

She told me she cannot see her own genitals in a mirror.

I felt so bad for her.

Peace!

I give her support with love and understanding.
I told her she should put herself in the hands of professional MDs.
She keeps trying all the gimmick stuff
Which of course leads to failure, frustration, self loathing, and ultimately depression.

She said she was always big.
She even said she has never even been kissed on the lips by a guy.

I cried Jen.
I cried!

Well, our food is terrible... There are loads of calories in a lot of our cheap food, so that is why it's so easy to become overweight. It's like.. "WOW... this burger only costs like a dollar"... and it's nearly 1k calories... lol

I also know a guy who is overweight who does not want to date "fat girls". It's so weird... lol he expects himself to be able to date hot women who take care of their bodies/health without having to ever do anything about his own body/health. I know there are some women out there who will look past that, but so far all of the ones he finds are mentally unstable women or drug addicts.

Yeah we are a nation of tubbies.
Coupled with the fact that we take the car everywhere doesn't help.

Our mailboxes are across the street.
About 100 feet

My nurse neighbor takes her car to the mailbox.

Can you believe that.

hahahaha

I like her though, and she's pretty thin for not exercising

Incidentally, I mentioned my discount warehouse that sells very fattening food very cheaply earlier?

Well I get most of my food from there, but they often don't have basics like dog food or milk, then I go around the routine expensive supermarkets.

I went round yesterday, and noticed that on average, they are much thinner customers than the discount warehouse with the fatty foods. The SO also noticed it.

What really knocks me out Cher is the number of med personnel that smoke.
There is a campus smoking area at my hospital, and I mean it gets crowded around noon or so.
Some doctors, but lots of older nurse, and admin people.

It freaks me.

Peace!

It really bothers me that they do it.
I hard some years ago it was Smoke Free
But people complained so they changed.

Women outnumber men 2 to 1 there smoking.
but I think overall women outnumber guys like 7 or 8 to 1 on staff, if you count admin.
