How is running an 8 minute mile a measure of fitness btw? Anyone under 40-50 should be able to do so easily (unless they're disabled or something).
Fat and fit
Choose one.

Thank Bob I have a family doc who started asking me about my diet and exercise plan when I got up to a BMI of 26. Failing to address weight issues is malpractice, if you ask me.

Because drastically changing your lifestyle isn't an easy feat.

So after the doctor and every nurse in the clinic came by to tell her she's the healthiest person in the world, did they applaud, give her $100%, and some bare chested firefighter come and carry her from the building to marry her?

I don't really understand comfort eating in general. Food is not entertainment, and it certainly doesn't make me feel better emotionally. Stress and grief make it more likely for me to eat less, not more. The only exception is tea and coffee, which I take plain anyway...other than the aromatherapeutic benefits I derive from those, food is fuel, period.

The question is bad. It's not about "working out and living healthier." It's about eating LESS. Anyone can eat less!
I go to a doctor once a year for an annual checkup. I can't imagine a doctor every saying to anyone "you're the healthiest patient I've ever seen." This fatty is either lying or delusional.

Agreed, I cringed at the question but maybe because it's not about their eating habits that it's garnered more responses.
"overweight fedditors, why don't you, you know, just eat less?"
I reckon that fatty is probably extrapolating from the statement: "you're reasonably healthy for now, but you should really lose the attitude weight."

God damn there is a lot of fat logic in that thread.
