From the comments

Eating is the only thing the Poor in the US have. The car culture here takes away most exercise from us anyway. People from other countries mainly do not understand life here that much.

Excuse me, what? How can you consider yourself poor if you can eat yourself to obesity?

I like your comment so I’m going to bandwagon:

Statistically speaking if you (1) own a car, even a shitty one, and (2) have enough money to eat yourself into obesity you are still ahead of billions of people in terms of wealth.

Pushups, planks, dips and running are free, porky pie. You do not need to go to boutique fitness places and buy $300 yoga pants to be in good shape. You just don’t want to do these simple, free things because it takes away from your victim narrative.

Shit, most apartment buildings now have some type of fitness center shit (pool, or a weight room or even a fucking basketball court). Don't live in an apartment? Parks and libraries now have free or reduced cost classes for yoga, tai chi, etc. Shit, there's a bunch of free workout videos on Youtube. Walking from your house to the corner store to get your smokes or milk costs NOTHING. You don't need to fucking eat custom shakes and bars and take supplements, just cut out the excess snacking and ranch dip.

There are a million and one ways to build in extra exercise and cut food from your diet, you just don't want to.

The poor in America have better economic opportunities than most white europeans. It's one of these weird facts that surprises people due to victim industry propaganda. Not to mention, cars have no effect on obesity. Does he think the French or Japanese don't drive? Obesity is purely a result of modern food addiction. It didn't exist before the advent of modern foods like plant sugar additives and vegetable oils. All these people want to blame anything for obesity except the truth which is the foods they are so addicted to. They want to do anything to lose the weight except eat a species appropriate diet.

If anything, the first 6 months or so I had my car, I actually LOST weight LOL. Granted, some of that came from the fact that the old clunker was in constant need of parts and guzzled gas like a fatty with beetus so that money had to come from SOMEWHERE. Plus the bus systems around here are so fucked up that I walked a hella lot more.

((Ironically enough, the person that sold me that car was a fat. Looking back, that car should've been scrapped. Instead fatty mcfatty did a bunch of quick fixes to 'disguise' the flaws, and I was an idiot at 18. "Happy" to say that now I've effectively rebuilt the fucker from the ground up, mostly at the expense of the dealer I bought it from, and it's paid off. Yes, I fucking laughed my ass off. ))

RIght, and they're not eating themselves to obesity on carrots and skinless chicken breasts. They can afford to buy tons of junk food and snacks which are quite expensive. I don't know how much a case of Mountain Dew costs, but it can't be cheap.

It's really fucking not LOL.

Earlier in the week I swung by the grocery store to grab some grub, and figured I may as well grab some diet coke to use as a mixer. (I'm lushing it out for now, sue me, I just make sure I work it into my calorie budget). Shit's almost 2$ for a 2L bottle, or like 6$ for a fucking 12 pack of cans.

It didn't really bother me, because I don't do soda on a regular basis. Aside from this situation, if I buy soda under normal circumstances, that 2L will go flat before I finish it unless either my roomies 'help' me finish it, or I have guests over. That 12 pack will last me probably 2 weeks, if not longer.

But we all know that fatties aren't stopping at even a single 2L bottle per week. Maybe they wouldn't REEEE about being broke all the time if they stopped fucking spending 20$ or so per week on soda, not to mention all the other shit they like to consume.

That is why they are 'poor' in the first place. 🤭

Exactly. There are some people that are 'poor' due to shit beyond their control (medical debt is a big one at least in America), but there are WAY more people that can break out of poverty level by making smarter choices.

Side note ? The people I've known that were 'legit' poor (aka due to medical debt/student loan debt/company closing/similar) but still able to avoid homelessness (aka had control over what they ate)? Guess what some of their major diet staples were, and I'll give you a hint - it wasn't fucking Big Macs! It was shit like rice, beans, chicken, canned veggies... Obviously nothing flashy and fancy, but 'logical' kitchen staples. Not to mention the obvious - if they fucking pig out on it all in the span of a couple days, then they literally had nothing else to eat til next paycheque! For them, fast food was considered a rare treat, not a daily staple

Didn’t read past the part where he said he was “built like an offensive lineman”, because that combined with the title is all I need to know. Being 6’2” is not an excuse to be a fucking fat ass behemoth. I’m sick of these “strong” fat men. And writing about how “I’m fat, but I know it’s bad” does not help his case. Fuck him.

350 pounds at 6’2” is a BMI of almost 45. Jesus Christ. And no, most of it isn’t muscle.

Their delusion that they're "strong" is one of the funniest pieces of FatLogic ; Nadja Hermann confessed in her book that the notion that at least she was "strong" because she was fat was the most consoling, hardest to lose bit of fatlogic of them all. But she GAINED strength as she lost weight, because her muscles had been atrophying under the layer of lard in which she'd encased them . I doubt it's any different for men.

Let's look at this logically

Muh thin people can eat whatever they want and never gain weight

Just another dumarse fatarse who wants points for being a self-aware fatty, but is just as delusional as all of them.

Hahaha he weighs almost as much in kilos as I do in lbs

(For those unfamiliar with units, 1 kg = 2.2 lbs. This fucker is twice of me, a full grown man)

Also

Russia Today

This is funny because despite all the drinking and insanity, most Russians, especially E. Europeans Russians that I know, are notorious shitlords.

At my fattest I was about 240 at 6' even. It was gross. Constant sleep apnea, aching joints, lethargy, screwed up gut, high bp/glucose/hr... 300+ is unfathomable let alone 350+. Jesus. And there are 5' women who are that.

Funny enough it was my parents and close friends pointing out how much of a fat fuck I was leading me to psmf and drop done to a lean 200ish within...8 to 10 weeks? I'm glad I got "fat shamed".

Agreed. At my worst I was BMI 27.5 (yay fucking Prednisone), and I felt so fucking awful. I had no idea how people could possibly be bigger than that and be fine with it. And for those who want to REEE about medication making them gain weight, guess what? Once I figured out what was going on, I made enough changes to my diet to stop gaining. And once I came off the medication, I dropped back to a BMI of about 23 in about 2 months time.

Thankfully enough, that was several years ago, and I've since sworn to never get that high again (and I haven't!).
