I need to save this for the next time someone gives me crap about making fun of hams working out. I'm an avid fat hater, but you know what, if I see a ham actually working out I'll give them a pass. You know why this isn't fat sympathy? Because IT NEVER FUCKING HAPPENS. I have never in my life seen an actual ham seriously working out. The closest I remember was back in HS cross country, but those guys weren't really hams, they were 14-year-olds who had some belly fat for growing (they did finish growing a few years later and lost the weight).

So yeah, Imma say even here where I can get banned for it, if you're a ham and actually working out, I'll give you a big pat on the back. I can say this without fear of the banhammer because I know it will never happen.

I've seen a lot of hams at my gym... There is one that I've seen there a lot over the last 3 months and he appears to be taking it seriously, putting in effort, doesn't act like a shithead while there, and has lost noticeable weight over the time I've seen him. Maybe some day he will rejoin the human race. He is the only fatass I've ever seen at the gym that I have any real hope for at all.

For lards like that one, I'll cut down on the hate. At least they're making an effort. But they still get hate because they let themselves get fat in the first place.

Respect comes when you reach a 24.9 BMI, not before.

I think there are so few because any that do put in effort don't stay fat.

You have to catch them in transition, everyone else is just spinning their wheels.

Can confirm. Was at gym yesterday, ham comes in and gets on elliptical. Lowers slope to 0 degrees and resistance to 1. I could exhale on the machine's handles and they'd rotate. She proceeds to jiggle on the machine for 10 minutes. Not a single drop of sweat was shed. She then grabs a .5liter bottle of coke to re-fuel.

Makes me wonder how she got obeastly.

I have never in my life seen an actual ham seriously working out.

That's because hams who seriously work out regularly reverse their condishuns and change their juhneticks and become normal people again. Being fat and regularly "seriously working out" are mutually exclusive lifestyles.

Anyone who tells you "I work out so hard but I also eat a lot!" (e.g., stereotypical dadbod fatlogic when they claim the fat on their upper arms is actually muscle) isn't actually serious about their sport, because anyone who takes a sport seriously realizes how much of an advantage a low body weight is. Fuck, even powerlifters try to cut to the point where they are at exactly the cutoff on their weight class.
