Fat gelatinous filth

Question:

 I chose to be thin and fit because it is better to live a long life and be  strong than it is to drop dead and be weak.  Your whole babbling tirade is essentially evasive. It is not a matter of  two utterly different kinds of motivation. There are carrots and sticks. I  am motivated by both. And so are you.        In my experience, motivating oneself to do something because not doing so makes you a loser is often less effective than positive motivation, and always less pleasant, because the "won’t be a loser" motivation is haunted by the fear that you *were* a loser before the change and *could* be again.

Everyone is born a loser. That is, everyone is born not having accomplished anything. It is a fundamental reality that one’s choices, at least in a relatively free society, can lead to success or failure. And that success needs some amount of maintainence. I wonder, too, why you have to resort to insults like "gelatinous filth" for fat.  It’s almost as though you *know* that being fat isn’t that bad, certainly isn’t bad enough to justify all that you have to go through to avoid it, and so you have to up the stakes in an almost surreal way.

I was calling you fat cows fat gelatinous filth long before I ever gained any weight. Your lame remote control psychoanalysis fails again. If my extra weight *were* gelatinous filth, then we’d have a story–a Clive Barker or H. P. Lovecraft story, I guess.  No, it’s just fat and blood vessels, no more no less disgusting than your fat (which you’ll never be able to completely eliminate, and wouldn’t want to anyway if health is a goal) and blood vessels.

It is visually repellent to most people. You can prove this by having a full length nude photograph taken of yourself and posting it publicly. Then hide and videotape people’s reactions with a zoom lens and a good long distance microphone to pick up the derisive and disgusted commentary that will result. I’ll eat in ways that genuinely make me feel better; but a dress size or certain weight don’t really make that much difference in how enjoyable or successful my life is.

It is very likely to reduce the total length of your life. Now, if people want to put a lot of time and energy into weight- or fat-loss as a goal, that’s their choice.  I’ve certainly wasted time on silly goals in my lifetime also.  My view is that they’d be better putting the effort into things that *cause* good health–exercise, low cholesterol–than things that *correlate* with it (weight), but it’s their choice.

I don’t have trouble changing light bulbs. I am good looking to many people. I am given more respect for being fit than any fat person gets for being fat. Women check me out. Fitness brings with it social power. And the more people follow you fatties down the path of least resistance the more in demand fitness will be. Obviously you value gluttony and sloth enough to believe the lie that all the medical research that shows that you are literally committing suicide with each and every excess calorie you shovel into your stinking cakehole is just some wacky ‘correlation’ that can be blithely ignored. But when you feel the icy hand of death upon you and it is long past the time when you might have done something to postpone your doom remember this message, fatass, and realize that I the evil Tokeman was actually working – however inadvertantly – for the cause of life while fat acceptors like you were the harbingers of death. How do you deal with the fact that those who research these matters full time and who have devoted years of study to the subject are far more likely to agree with me that obesity is extremely dangerous than they are to agree with you? Actually, if you emphasize studies that sort out correlation from causation, I’m not sure that’s true.

Stop changing the subject. Those who specialize in the scientific study of obesity, who must submit their research to peer review, overwhelmingly agree with ME that morbid obesity is staggeringly bad. And don’t go quoting any doctors who lament that diets don’t work – all they’re saying is that obesity is essentially incurable because people refuse to follow diet plans not that obesity is OK. I think many people "refuse" to follow diet plans in the same way that they would "refuse" to follow a plan, ostensibly for their health, that involved sleeping two hours fewer per night than they need to be well rested.  It’s unpleasant, distracting, and in the long run counterproductive.

In other words you are too undisciplined and it was too hard and so you gave up and now you don’t want to be judged for it. Tough shit, lardass. I did it. No excuses.                            Jackie the Tokeman

And someone also chose to crosspost this for maximum incindiary (sp?) effect. For those of you who can’t read newsgroups lines, it’s: alt.feminazi alt.feminism alt.support.diet soc.singles   soc.women Followup lines are set.  Please remove soc.singles from followups if your newsreader does not support this feature.  Setting killfiles appropriately will also remove much of the noise. Please do not feed or tease the netkook.  Thank you very much. CLB Charlotte L.
