Proud Big Girls/Fat Bottomed Girls

[Scut Monkey]

I was making a general point that I agree with the sentiments of this thread as long as it doesn't make people who are trying to lose weight for the right reasons feel bad about it.

 

Sarie, whether you like people saying it to you or not you aren't an exception to the rules that affect the rest of humankind (I don't need to "know" you to know that) and whether you don't like thinking about it or not it will affect you in the long-run if you don't do something about it. In the end you can choose to do whatever you want, I don't care. It's not about lecturing or telling you something you already know - it's about promoting what's good and discouraging what's bad. If this thread was on bulimia I would say the same thing: face the reality of the long-term consequences.

Hence why I said "long-term". It's not until 35-45 that it starts to become a problem. But by then our metabolism will have slowed down and we may not be as fit and may have more responsibilities so losing the weight sooner than later is preferable. But you're still a teenager, there's plenty of time.

 

 

Anyway, I was just trying to make the point that it's a good thing to try to lose weight if it's done for the right reasons i.e. for health, not for conforming to our size-zero culture.

 

That's exactly it for me scut... I have to do it now otherwise it will be tooo difficult to get rid of my excess fat.. clock is ticking... and I'm scared for my health..and fitness..
