What do you think when you see an overweight woman?

[mtwallet]

Oops

Silly me. I assumed that we were talking about checking out the women as potential bed mates. I don't care whether a woman is on the large side/full figured/voluptuous etc. A good lay is a good lay. I don't believe the old addage that "Fat chicks try harder", but I have to admit some of the most enthusiastic sex I've had has been with plus size women. Perhaps the lack of attention that slim, I will not use the words "regular size", girls get has something to do with it. Or maybe it's because I'm fat, but comfortable with my appearance, and that puts them at ease.

I'm curious as to why this thread was even started...Do overwieght people make you uncomfortable? Or just the "more cushion for the pushin" girls?




PS I must be getting old. What the hell is an "emo"? And what do they look like?

It strikes me as hypocritical for a Merbite to worry about someone's personal habits costing society in health costs. Aren't sex workers and consumers more likely to get stds which require treatment than the monogamous? Anyway, doesn't the amount spent on buying sex for a typical .....monger far exceed the portion of taxes for an average person allotted to medical costs?

Where does it end? Should people be obliged to exercise, forbidden from risky hobbies like mountain climbing etc. to minimize our total health care bill?

Disagree. If you compare societal health costs of hobbyig-related STDs and risky sports such as climbing, then obesity "wins" by a huge margin! Obesity is directly linked to diabetes and hyertension, which lead to cardiac diseases (heart attacks and heart failure), arterial circulatory insufficiency, and strokes. Add on the respiratory complications (obese people have less lung function from the weight on their chest, to put it simply) and the thromboembolic complications (blood clots in veins and lungs) whenever an obese person is sick in bed... An obese person going through an operation or sick with a serious disease has a higher mortality and complication rate than a proportionnally weighted person.
To this we must add the daily bothersome and limitating problems they face after a certain number of years: poor tolerance to effort, back/knee/ hip pains from joint degeneration, simply from carrying too much weight for so many years...

The cost of these is simply HUGE (no pun intended).

I have a friend who is 410lbs actually and his leg just don't want to support him anymore so he's in a hospital since 2 weeks now and the doctor don't do anything to find what else it could be then his overweight ...

Vero, this is easy to say (the doctors don't do anything to find out what it could be), but usually not true. First, a majority of people over 400 lbs cannot walk or get around normally... their bodies just can't do it! The heart cannot send sufficient blood to the legs to let them function normally... and the muscles in the legs are not made for/trained to carry this weigth around very far either!

Second, many moder diagnostc tests are simply not accessible physically to very obese people!! For example, CT scanner tables cannot support more than 400 lbs! They would break!! So if your friend would need a scan, maybe he simply CANNOT get it! Ultrasounds are almost impossible in very obese people, because they are too big "outside" of the organs a doctor would want to see... too much fat! So I would not blame the medical establishment...

That being said... What about the 600 lbs morbidly obese person? Should we really let them die because they can't control their addiction to food? If that's the case, we should do the same for smokers, people with drugs or alcohol addictions, etc... It doesn't seem right to me.

Ariane, I would again refer to my comments above. Sometimes there is not much the doctors can do when someone is so obese when things go wrong (heart attack, lung or kidney failure, etc)... "Nature" takes back its rights...

This being said, I like your statement on "food addiction". Many obese people claim thet they can't help it, it is an "endocrine disorder" they have and they simply cannot lose weight no matter what they eat or don't... They do not accept responsability for their own bodies and behaviours. I have a good friend who is an endocrinologist and he sees obese people referred to him and he tells me it is the minority of these who have a true disorder making them gain weight!

Ok ... the way I wrote it can make some confusion ... but It was exactly my thought when he told me that the doctor was not coming to see him. And for the CT scan ... the hospital decided to bring my friend in an other city by ambulance yesterday because the solidity of the scan table there is ok for him.

I don't blame the hospital in any way ... but one thing I really don't understand ... how come my friend didn't do anything to stop taking pounds before that point ... I mean , If you see you gain more then 100 pounds in 1 year ... it is not a sign that you should think about doing more exercices at least.

I'm telling you ... to see him in that hospital bed scared me ... I was not so rushed to go back to my gym routine but now it is on my priority list ... what's better then a Rolo icecream sandwich after 1hour of training ... I'm kidding!

Seriously ... I admit ... I have a food addiction ... as much as sexe. lolll
I used to think about going in meeting for it but never did ... since I have try to simply do more exercices ...curiously, I don't feel for eating so much fatty food when i'm training every day ... Human is so well done ... don't you think so?!
