My submission for "ultimate fatlogic" So... this one just happened to me. I don't even know how to respond yet.  I work in a small office. One of our employees has lymphedema. He's also the biggest spouter of fat logic I have ever met. He's older, but I really think something doesn't click for him mentally. He's on partial disability as well, so he's only part time. If I had to guess, I would say 6'3 and pushing 275. (I also think he has a small crush on me) (This isn't bragging, it really is relevant) I go to the gym 5 days a week on my lunch break. Because of this, I don't really care WHEN I go as long as I get a chance. Normally, it is after everyone else has gone to get lunch. He always comes back with fast food- we are right by a Jack in the Box, Sonic, McDonalds, Which Which, and a small mom-and-pop Italian sub shop that makes MASSIVE portions. He hobbled back to my office and asks if I am going to the gym... yes, I have been going every day for at least six months. Which sparks the following convo, paraphrased but still fresh in my head.  "Oh... well, just so you know, I have been working out" me: "That's good. Mobility will help improve the fluid movement" "Yea, I want to lose weight like you did!"  "Well, that is great but if you want to lose weight, it's mostly diet. You can't eat out breakfast and lunch and expect to lose weight, especially with the food we have around here. I focused on diet before even worrying about the gym."  "Nah, I can eat what I want and lose weight because I'll be working out" "You can't outrun a bad diet"  "Yes you can. Don't you see all the hot girls on instagram? They always post pictures in gym clothes. They look good because they work out" "I promise you, they watch their diet too. You need both for weight loss or weight gain. It's all calories and basic math." "Nah, they post pictures of junk food too. They eat whatever they want, just like me. I just need to move more."  So, yea... that's where I left it at. His FB is flooded with hot-women type pages (think neckbeard) and he thinks they all just "move around more" to look hot. He can't even walk a quarter of a mile and he thinks he will magically lose weight.
