Fat guys: why not lose weight?

This thread is purely out of curiosity. A few months ago, I posted asking fat guys how they got that way.

Now, I want to explore the reasons what, if they are aware of themselves, prevents them from losing weight.

i try. then the cravings and not feeling full become unbearable

Some people like being chubby?

I think some try, but you have to remember losing weight isn't easy(initially-psychologically). You have to correct a life time of bad eating habits until good habits persist as normal.

I don't understand how you can't figure something like this out on your own. JML897

I'm not fat, but I fall entirely under options 1 and 2.

Look food habbits are not the way to lose weight. As long as you dont gorge yourself on a regular basis and stay away from trans fats and other garbage, all you gotta do is excersize. I don't mean jogging on a treadmill or something stupid like that, but find a physical activity that you enjoy. Paintball, skiing, martial arts, etc are all great physical activities with moderate to strenuous physical exertion; I knew a guy when I was doing brazilain jujitsu that dropped a good twenty pounds after three or four months of classes. I myself lost thrity pounds in one season of high school lacrosse. I still eat all the rich, fatty, salty, unhealthy food that I want, I just excersize as well.

fat people are lazy and lack restraint

You're not suppose to eat until you're full. You're also suppose to be hungry a good hour or two before you eat. It's called an appetite.

It's normal.

This. People tend to think by "dieting" you need to starve yourself and just eat a lot of skinless chicken and veggies all the time, which isn't the case. I like to think of "dieting" as "eating smarter". Every now and then I'll have fast food, a chocolate bar, and what not, but I obviously don't eat it everyday. lonewolf604

I eat some really crappy foods, I just don't eat a lot in one setting. It's rare a finish a fast food meal (burger and fries). It's not that I'm belly-busting full, I just stop eating when I feel satisfied.

I also bust ass most days, either at my house or my parents.

I'm fully convienced it's not what you eat (calories are calories), it's how much and what you do between meals.

If you don't put in a couple of hours of physical labor every day (walking doesn't count) and eat 3 full meals a day, getting fat is a given.

Just use the lipolytic power of testosterone.

Crabs/Lobsters aren't insects, so they can't rightly be called 'bugs'. But they are bottom-feeders, and both taste like heaven with a little garlic butter.

Clams...only good in chowder.

Love lobster too dave123321

Why does the pink pony in your sig have no neck or head? And that other one has it's eyeballs pulled out?

The headless pony is behind the yellow pony. It's there. Just blocked. I think the eyeless pony is in the process of blinking or something dave123321

I wish my blinking looked like that. :(

I know that crustaceans aren't bugs, I also know that most insects aren't even bugs. Doesn't matter. I'm using the word in the (incorrect) popular sense. Roaches aren't bugs either, but people sure as hell won't eat them because "ew, eating bugs is nasty".MrGeezer

Haven't had roaches, but I've had grasshoppers.

b/c ppl are lazy

just eat what you want and cardio it off

My primary reason for it was simple two years ago. I was in great shape prior before a car accident that derailed my life upside down--long story not going to bother to tell. I asked myself these two questions: Will life be 'better' if I was fit? Will life be 'happier' if I was still fit? Both basically ended up with a resounding "no". 4 years later (going into the fifth) and now I'm currently working off the fat--lost a little over 50+ lbs already. Obviously, both those questions are now answered "yes". Life has changed and the hell from the car accident is now just a distant memory.

Oh, another fat thread, haven't seen one of those in a while. Ah OT, nothing but threads about fat people, Islam and gun control.

Should fat people own guns? Take this guy for example - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jgGK4NJ8Hk

He could fire an M60 from the hip without being affected by the recoil. What if the person working at McD's mess up his order? What's stopping him from going on an unstoppable rampage?

He's like Blob, projectiles won't pierce his indestructible layer of fat. What if he converts to Islam and joins a terrorist organization? Think of the damage he could do in the name of Allah.

Really? Not even by an obese man wearing a leotard running around mowing down people with his M60? EatShanna

I did lose the weight. Took me a year, but I went down from 306 to 173.:D It's not as easy as people make out to be. Some of us aren't athletic, lazy, like to eat a lot, but when you determine to change your lifestyle then anything is possible.

Why don't skinny guys gain weight?

It's not as easy as you think.
