RecordProducer Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 I never liked getting hugs and kisses from my mom. Did she kiss you hug you every day? Did she try to?
Outcast Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Old age does NOT make you fat. As you get older (and some of this starts in your twenties), you lose muscle mass, your metabolism slows, and your body alters other ways that makes it harder to keep your weight low. People don't just eat because they're 'lazy'. A lot of people eat to comfort themselves because they feel bad. It's an addiction like any other addiction and often the underlying issues need to be dealt with for someone to be able to quit eating.
SmoochieFace Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 That may be, Alf, but it's not necessary to manipulate others just because you're insecure. If what you say is true, then plenty of 'insecure' people manage just fine by being honest and straightforward and eschewing this kind of nonsense. If people are insecure to the point where they can justify manipulating other people then they have no business being in a relationship or even dating. They need to take a serious time-out and deal with their issues. Other people should not have to be subjected to being treated poorly as a result of someone else's *insecurities*.
Author john1776 Posted June 30, 2006 Author Posted June 30, 2006 As your body needs less food, eat less. Exercise. A guy once asked me why I workout. I told him that, besides looking better, I feel better if I keep my weight under control. He said, "Well, just eat less then you don't have to work out." I said, "No. I think it's healthier to eat and burn it off than to just not eat. Besides, I'm a good cook!" I know plenty of older people who are NOT overweight. It's not a predestined thing, and only people who aren't willing to admit the truth choose to believe that. I also see overweight people stuffing food down them like there's no tomorrow and moving VERY little if at all, and they can't understand why they can't lose weight. If you're having emotional problems, see a shrink. If your emotional problems are brought on by a lousy relationship, both of you should go to counseling. If that isn't happening, get out before you kill yourself with food. Or... you could eat and eat and eat until you have a stroke... or you're so fat you can no longer find your wee wee... or... We all have choices at our disposal. We either make one choice or the other. I have a right to hijack my own thread by the way. I still think it's pretty shallow to judge someone by how much they weigh. It's no better than judging someone by the color of their skin. You don't know all the facts about why a person is overweight unless you have walked in their shoes and watched them all the time 24/7. So stop pretending like you know all the facts. It's good to at least consider the possibility that a person is NOT lazy just because they have a weight problem. I honestly do not care whether anyone else finds me attractive or not. I keep my weight down so that I can continue to have the freedom to do the things I like to do in this life. I take care of myself so that someone else does not have to when I get older. Again my point is that a guy should be doing his best to stay in shape regardless of the outcome of his relationship status. As a matter of fact I don't want any women coming to me after I lose 20 more lbs because then I'll know the reason that they are starting to come to me. I don't believe in coincidences. Once I make more money and lose more weight I expect the same kind of attention from women as I'm getting now. No more and no less. My health is more important than a love relationship. It does not matter how many women would find me attractive if I'm on the verge of having a stroke or heart attack. If I don't have good health then I'm just as good as dead. I wouldn't have anything going for me. I might as well take a gun and blow my brains out. Geez if my only motivation for staying in shape was to keep my girlfriend around then what would happen if she dumped me for some other shallow reason?? I would stop working out in the gym and go back to my old lazy habits and gain 80 lbs. Why? because I didn't have the right motivation to begin with.
