"But they're trying!!!!!" My take on fatties in the gym When you make fun of a big giant fat person scooting around the gym there are always people who brand you as Hitler because "at least they're trying". Well guess what, for people who actually use the gym seriously it is tiring to deal with the lack of tact and the attitude from these people, and it is especially sickening how often you see them putting on a front. Goofing around on equipment for 20 minutes and then opening a snack that has twice the calories than they burned. Going ape shit should you try to help. It's something you get so sick of seeing every day, every year. It is exactly like knowing someone who drinks themselves to death every night, and then saying they're on the wagon because they switch to beer over liquor. To me it is so much more infuriating than a fatty who is just like "I can't stop eating and I hate myself" because the disingenuous "try" is insulting my intelligence. Yet they get away with it!! Any regular person in the gym KNOWS they can't eat like a pig and make up for it! Exercise is just like polishing your body to be at its best. I used to be a fat person in the gym and I kept to myself while following a strict plan of eating and exercising a certain way. After being there every day and getting results after a few months, the shitlords actually started small talk with me. Fit people really do appreciate a person who talks with their actions, but we're not retarded and can see when someone is phoning it in. It is so much more rewarding to be humble and patient. Fuck that fake pride, excuses, and most of all dishonesty. The gym is not your mask to wear so nobody can call you out. It's a place where people can make good things great and I hate it when fat ass assholes use it for evil.
