Comments on: The Demands of a Fat Person http://whyareyousofat.wordpress.com/2008/05/06/the-demands-of-a-fat-person/ ...if you disagree with me, you're probably fat.

The best thing I ever did for myself was go on that Dr. Atkins diet. Long as I stick with that, I lose easily. However, sticking to it, like sticking to anything that requires me at 46 years old to use discipline to stick to it, is quite a drag. I didn't find Atkins limiting. In fact it is quite freeing for me. Still I lose interest somehow. Bread is sooo good. It's funny ... when I was younger and in want of a good marriage, going to the gym and all that image consciousness was working real well. Now that I'm older, got money, got an almost paid off house, a paid off car, rarely get a cold or any sickness (even though quite overweight), I just don't care so much somehow. Yep, still single and more content than I've ever been before. I do know now I'd be miserable if I had gotten married when I thought I wanted to. I've always been the roller coaster type person: all kinds of sizes of clothes, waxing and waning diligence at exercise programs (I actually love to exercise, but just don't make it an all-consuming habit unfortunately). Come to think of it, I've never let anything be an all-consuming passion. My younger sister is precisely the opposite, not skinny, just perfect, with very very little exercise needed. Eats whatever she wants without gaining so much as an ounce. Consequently I get "accused" of being her mother when we are out someplace and strangers talk to us. "Oh, and is this your mother?" Uh, no ... when she was 2 years old I was 4 !! If a person with chronic overweight is sick and has been sickly all their lives, that makes a difference. If a person with chronic overweight condition is stick BECAUSE they are fat, therein lies the rub. The most I suffer from is achy joints. I don't believe accommodations should be made for the fat people of this world. What we need in this country is a good old-fashioned FAMINE of Biblical proportions!! We fat folk would last longer because we have so much "reserve," but I do wonder if the skinny people would then begin to gang up on and slaughter us fat ones for food ...
