RANT: Don't ask for my advice if you don't plan on taking it I finally caved and made an account on here today because I am just fed up with all of the bullshit fat acceptance I see in my day to day life. I used to be overweight (185lbs), and I got my ass into the best shape I've ever been in (5'8 and down to 145) when I realized that my weight and sedentary lifestyle were interfering with my ability to pursue a career as a firefighter/emt. I've always been a firm believer in not being allowed to complain about the things you have to ability to change in your life, so it drives me up the wall when the fatasses, I used to call friends, go and spout their fatlogic after asking me how to lose weight. Let me give you a quick example. Right around the start of my journey towards a better lifestyle, my fat former friend (we'll call Chrissy) begged me help her lose weight. Now I was merely overweight, but Chrissy is obese. She's round as round can get, and I'm amazed that she managed to find a boyfriend pigfucker. Anyway, I give Chrissy a list of things she can do to start off, ie: MyFitnessPal, portion control, walking/light jogs since she had recently dislocated her knee. Not even after 2 days, Chrissy falls off the boat. She wasn't logging her food into MFP and she'd always log way more exercise than she actually did. I confronted her about this in the most non-accusatory way I could, and she starts giving me a bunch of excuses. I was irritated then, but things just proceeded downhill from there. Between workouts with my bf and the workouts provided by the fire departments, I was starting to lose weight, and she was noticing. She became more and more distant, and I chalked it up to her just working until I realized she was just trying to avoid me. Seeing me no longer overweight really triggered her ass, and I realized that my ability to make progress while she did nothing but complain clearly got to her. I started to realize a bunch of things I didn't notice before. She would always want to hang out, but never wanted to do any activities that involved movement. Breakfast/lunch/dinner date? No problem! Want to meet up my place and walk to the local shops and explore? No thanks! When it did come to getting food, she'd always want to get Starbeetus, or some other greasy plate of slop. She even went so far as to offer to pay for the food for me despite me not wanting it.But of course when I declined, she no longer wanted to go. Eventually, I just stopped seeing her entirely, but would occasionally check in on her facebook to see what piggery she was up to. Self-deprecating posts, but still not enough desire to change. tl;dr: Fat former friend asks for help losing weight, but doesn't take advice. She's still fat and secretly hates it.
