    i am truly stunned on a daily basis at the size of people i see and sometimes its families of them
    we've made it too easy for people to do whatever they want and some have no self controls
    on the way out the door to pick up a family vehicle at the mechanic and will walk the 2 miles to get it
    so grateful to be on both feet and walking again
    takes a lot of work to get that big and that genetics excuse only goes so far
    put down the fucking pizza

    It's embarrassing actually, when you go to other countries and see how trim people are, on average.

    Dead on .... and I've got PLENTY to lose but I'm grateful to walk purposefully every day. I'm slow but I'm upright and I plan to stay that way .... even with my fifth lumbar shot to shit.

    I've always told my kids, I don't care what sports you play or hobbies you choose... just find something that interests you that is a way to move every day. Take up ballroom dancing for all I care - anything other than a sedentary lifestyle.

    That's half the battle. The other half of course is being smart about what you put in your body.

    you got nothing to be ashamed of
    you were a teacher for a long time and thats a prescription to get fat
    i worked in schools for 2 years and got huge and become a coffee and donut addict for a long time

    there is nothing wrong with being fat
    i eat fat for its own sake
    cholesterol is good for your heart as its gods own engine lubricator

    i personally am enjoying my new big belly
    im 100 percent on team finksi now and i see the appeal of having greater mass
    sure my back hurts more but my back always hurts more so why not also have a big sexy belly

    liberty vs gays obsessed over their own looks
    liberty vs guys obsessed over others guys looks
    liberty vs karens obsessed over others peoples 'health'
    liberty vs busybodies of all kinds bothered by others weight

    i had thrifties ice cream and a snickers bar for dinner last night with a slice of pepperoni pizza for dessert

    imagine if i started a post about drunks and how embarrassing they are lol
    no, that would be gay
    like yall michelle obamas trying to tell people to put down the pizza
    pizza is the proto indo european pie of the peasants
    pizza been leaning this way from the piezo age to the age of pi
    pizza is the best thing in the world and in the immortal words of the swedish dwarf troll.... how dare you!

    spot on
    you have to establish good habits at a young age even if its just walking to places you normally drive
    not to mention the world looks a lot different at street level so its an adventure
    a nasty one more and more still interesting and you see things you wouldn't from a passing car
    as far as ice cream and pizza etc that stuff can be amazing to eat but the less of it you eat the less you crave it
    pizza happens maybe once a month anymore and the same with ice cream
    i honestly don't think about it that much
    if your blood sugar gets over 99 you're flirting w disaster and that's where my bro in law is at
    besides the dementia the daily whiskey caused he's physically falling apart and is 5'6" 205lbs atm
    couple of nights ago the house he lives called and said he was having spasms
    dude was wide eyed and scared but refused to go to the ER and i didn't think he'd be alive the next day
    we measured his glucose at 143 and still he wants ice cream
    sugar and trans fat might not put you down in the short term but in the long term you will pay
    same w alcohol, heroin and anything else you enjoy
    moderation is the key
    i also don't eat before 12 or after 6 these days but thats another story altogether
    gf is 15 years younger and i need to keep up or she looks like my caregiver!

    Despite my many mistakes, I'm drilling this into my kiddos now and daily ...

    ... my oldest wants to stay in the local Catholic school so she starts 6th grade August 3. But my others- 5, 7, & 9 - they'll all home school with me from here on out.

    We will start every school day with a 1 mile hike. Rain, shine, or snow, we'll walk the perimeter of this neighborhood. Aristotle used that method - two hours of gymnasium and wear out the body to exhaustion. After that - walk slowly until you return ro normal, and as you do so, you discuss things with the teacher. These were called "peripatetic walks" and I intend to use them to build their body and mind together- myself included.

    THEN we'll eat a proper breakfast- and no more cereal which is straight up poison. I ate that garbage as a kid. Just no more.

    Anyway ... no time like right now to unfuck yourself, right?

    i see the cult of Aesculapius is back in fashion
    funny how lots of fashionable things are in fashion again
    its almost as if a certain demographic is getting their version of 'woke'
    the same ones that also end up worshipping at the feet of Hygeia
    it was required to wear clothes that would show your shape and therefore your health
    your 'fit' was your ID and how you proved that you were a true citizen
    if you did not pass the eye test of being fit it would be allowed to demonize you
    a fat person was a sinner and not allowed in the public discourse
    until the protestants rebelled against the sons of the serpent and his daughter

    Addiction is a scary thing, even with something as innocent sounding as sugar. That's my one weakness but now I can usually control the cravings, and like you said, the less of it I eat, the less I crave.

    My uncle was a lifelong chain smoker. Made it to his early 70's which was surprising. I remember visiting him in the hospital when he was down to his last few days - he had lung cancer and was on oxygen. He tried to slip me a twenty to go down to the corner store and get him a pack of smokes. I laughed, thinking he was joking, at which point he started pleading with me, and then I could see in his eyes that it was just ripping him apart to not have his nicotine. In hindsight, he probably should've just died at home. He could've gone out, content, in a cloud of smoke. Then again, he might have had the oxygen on and taken the whole apartment building with him.

    I like your point of choosing to walk everywhere, and trust me, if I was in an urban setting I'd definitely be doing that. We're out in the boonies, but I'm outside half the day, at least during the warmer seasons, and it's rare that my step counter shows < 10,000 at the end of the day. I've planted 50 fruit trees and tend to them regularly. Currently I'm building a pond by hand and have been moving rock for the last few weekends. So I definitely get my activity in. Could probably use more cardio, but for now that's going to have to wait.

    not even close
    i can barely get down the aisles in stores let alone sidewalks
    fat people win and its not even close
    you want to go full porky that's your business idgaf
    as for me i enjoy feeling good most days and not lacking energy or drive
    i'm 6'2" and 220 atm but i'm much better at 205 so its not that hard to stay away from stuff that adds lbs
    still got a lot of places i want to see and not from a wheel chair
    no obesity is far more in fashion and i'm just saying its pretty shocking to see so many just give up

    I can't agree with most of what you wrote, but there'll always be a slot in my food plan for pizza. It's just down to about once per month, ala diablo. And also, because is so infrequent, I won't waste the monthly opportunity on the cheap stuff.

    sugar is the first ever drug
    its the first ever drug abused
    it was the first drug turned luxury item
    the first thing that made people mad enough to go to war and enslave others for
    and nothing has changed since then

    sweet cane is a southern crop
    southerners use it but dont abuse it
    northerners come and fall in love with it
    refine it, industrialize it, and lose their mind for it
    it fuels their workers with dark energy that works but makes them sick both physically and spiritually
    spiritually as that is literally the scientific process that plays out in your blood due to the chemistry in sugar
    apart from the physical health issues of sugar the fermentation process keeps you spiritually intoxicated aka not sober and in full control of your low level base spirituality
    like when you drink
    except when you eat sugar or other simple carbs as part of your regular diet you will have fermentation in your intestines making you punchy
    the beer belly meme is not from fat but from fermentation of simple sugars

    and yes if those simple sugars if not burned for their ketones will become hard fat that is then difficult to get rid of through cardio
    there is two types of fat and only the soft type gets burned through cardio
    the other fat only is removed by fasting or by cutting simple sugars to convert your fat into a type of quickly burning alcohol
    thats why alcoholics in the frozen north that cant get liquor drink cans of sterno
    because humans were made to run on that kind of stuff
    but then the northern industrial system came to the south and took prisoners of war to work as slaves in the north
    because northerners eventually get tired of working their own industries and then enslave their own orphans and elderly and poor and weak women
    but then when the northerners become woke level 1 they start passing laws making it no longer a good idea to enslave your 'own' citizens
    so a southern class of helots has to be imported

    thats why when southerners adopt the northern culture it leads to madness of the mind body and spirit of all kinds because the southerners were not 'smart' enough to industrialize their sweet cane past the most basic types of preservation for storage
    and why now southerners and northerners are tied forever over their shared addiction to simple sugars
    so that even a carrot is bad for you if your blood sugar rises and falls dramatically
    you can easily check your blood sugar by asking people if you are a dramatic person that has mood swings

    so yeah, sugar has never been innocent
    but our citizens are blinded with so much conflicting information since birth that it takes them years before they start becoming aware of stuf
    even if people tell them for years and years
    but thats ok
    because sometimes seeds take a long time to sprout
    it all depends on the ground they fall on
    sometimes the ground just waiting for the dawn to warm it up

    southern people of course dont need to be told this stuff in their own natural habitat
    everybody knows whats good and whats not because the only thing available is whats natural and good
    but in the north things get cold and ugly in the winter because there isnt enough nature to go around
    that is why northerners tend to be the best of the best
    because the rest of the least are sent away to find fortunes in the south where the pickings are sweet and easy

    this isnt racist as im not talking about white people specifically
    the first group of northerners to come down and exploit southerners with sugar and make them slaves were not white people
    it was african people who migrated to the north who first enslaved POW's of southern blacks.
    white europeans did not get the empires of the world until after the blacks subdued the indians which then created the asians who then birthed most of us warrior/wero/gyro/guero/huero/hero/healer culture of people out of the caves of the Khyber pass during the axial age that became the new princes of the world
    in all languages that came from babylon that word means manhunter which was the ultimate sport and they called it the great game
    its looks like we are nearing the end of the 4th turning and the two minute warning has been given for the end of the game
    it was all fun and games when it was the euros playing their beautiful game
    but we aint in major league soccer anymore
    this is the nuclear football league

    why eat dominos when there is a corner spot run by some filipino or armenian that makes you a super fresh piece of bread with some healthy tomato and some choice pieces of your favorite cured meats and we all have some veggie toppings we like and you dont go crazy on the cheese with some fresh basil sliced up on top.... that is the pinnacle of health food for me :D
    then again if you eating a ton of processed bread and simple sugars and you eat pizza and fatty foods you will get both kinds of fat on your body
    the soft fat and the hard fat
    fat that comes from eating fat is the soft fat
    fat that comes from eating carbs that your body then turns to fat = hard fat that is toxic and more difficult to get rid of

    but i dont always have 15 dollars for a hole in the wall pizza pie
    so if i get a pizza craving im gonna get the cheapest shit that isnt out a 7 eleven type store
    basically lil skeezers to share with the crew or pizza hut carryout specials that cost about the same as little caesars but you know... pizza hut
    i can eat a whole lil ceasers no problem and get filled and move along
    but a pizza hut i do 3 or 4 slices at most before i cant stand the afters taste and salty burps and grease coated tongue even if im not full im done

    i love pizza
    i want to thank white people for being the heros that they are and taking some arabs falafel al pastor and turning into a gyro turkey sandwich in anatolia when you were tired of all the toiling and turned that turkey gyro into a greek hero with yellow french dressing before turning you made it into the tricolor judge napolitanio cheese, tomato and pork belly pie

    viva!

    and the day you finally give up guess what
    there gonna be people that wont understand and just judge you for being fat
    they wont know how your leg is fucked up and all the reasons that lead up to why you got fat and sick
    because that just the type of people those people wanna be
    we can all be the type of people we want to be to others
    knowing full well that one day all of us will get old
    and at any time any of us can have a horrible accident cripple us
    or we get sick and have to take medication that gets you fat
    either way even for selfish self preservation you would want to not be the type of person who is shaming the weak for their weakness
    because it will be you or your loved ones
    and so what you might say, you dont care what people think of you
    that is good and great and i agree with you wholeheartedly if thats the cause
    but that doesnt change the fact that the more we champion judging people for being fat the more people will rebell and be fat
    specially your own children
    since that is how rebellion works
    all my cousins are alcoholics with multiple wives/baby mommas who were shitty fathers all around first for being mean jerks and then with the younger kids spoiling them after feeling guilty which also ends up with kids who rebel and do all of the opposite of that
    and not just the opposite of the bad habits their parents had
    but all of the lessons and teachings the parents gave are also internalized as something to rebel from and the kids purposely do the opposite of what their parents so religiously instilled in them

    unless you end up with a freak kid who is just an angel sent from heaven who doesnt even want to rebel
    then you should be on your knees daily thanking the lord for coming down and blessing you with such a rare and alien boy
    because they make good healers
