Had a falling-out with ex-friend who happened to be obese & then came-up with hypothesis as to how behemoths rationalize their disgusting actions. Long-story short, I had a "friend" (more just like a smoking bud) who I caught telling multiple white lies to me. Not that the lies were really that severe, but they were all violations of long-built trust nonetheless. Anyways, this ex-friend is 21 years old & is about 6'0", 300 lbs. He never exercises. His diet, oh god, it seriously needs a separate post all-together.  Just to highlight how he views food in relation to "normal people": We literally ordered my favorite pizza from Papa John's one time (their speciality Buffalo Chicken Pizza; which is obviously absurdly unhealthy for you btw), & no joke, he literally picked off the ONLY vegetables on the entire pizza, which were tiny sweet onions baked into the cheese, and he then proceeded to tell me that he wished we had ordered something different, because the onions basically ruined the pizza for him because he couldn't stand onions... I'm sitting there like, dear god, onions add flavor to just about every protein containing meal I could think of & not to mention that they were probably the only slightly redeeming ingredient in the carbohydrate & fat pie we ingested. It's not like it was a raw red onion on a burger or in a salad either, they were fucking tiny slivers baked into the fattening mound of calories we stuffed our faces with. His family fried a 30 lb turkey for Thanksgiving... He drinks soda with every meal... He ate 2 burgers, 6-8 chicken wings, 2 hot-dogs, & then drank 3-4 few beers whenever he went and visited his dad (who is also fat) for his 21st birthday "Bar-B-Q"... Yes, 2 days worth of calories in one sitting, & he didn't even think twice about it...  Enough about his diet, because I'm sure that I've already made my point as to why his day-to-day diet is analogous to what a mythological creature from one of H.P. Lovecraft's novels would ingest. So Back to the main point of my post: Through talking with him, whenever he does something immoral/consciously dishonest, he NEVER, & I mean, absolutely NEVER, takes blame for his actions. Instead, he either (a) tries to shift the blame onto someone else, (b) plays the victim card and offers some illogical "hamsterized" rationalization as to why he committed his immoral act, or (c) doesn't actually offer an excuse, but instead, resorts to ad hominems (personal attacks), in an attempt to take the spotlight off of him. Regardless, in every possible scenario, there has always been a "reason" (an excuse) as to why he sacrificed morals in exchange for something that entirely self-serving (such as willing to go behind his life-long "best-friend's back (not me) for a mere hypothetical $100).  As we were having our falling-out, over shit that had been building-up over the preceding weeks/months, he basically tried shifting the reason as to why our falling-out ended-up transpiring, as a direct result of my "laziness". So naturally, I rebutted that statement as to why that wasn't true, and then somewhat harshly said "you do realize that being roughly 300 lbs is ultimately a result of laziness, right?" I then said, "lack of self-discipline and/or laziness contributes to obesity; nothing else. In the rare event that someone has a severe thyroid or metabolic disorder, then he or she needs to compensate by eating healthier &/or working-out more. It's that simple. There's no excuse for killing yourself slowly. You can BullShit your way out of a lot of problems in life, but sheer Science will never allow you to bullshit your way out of diet and exercise, for if you don't, you'll have the privilege of showing every single person you come in contact with that you specifically prioritize undisciplined desire over your own health and well-being, every single day you step foot outside. & surprise-surprise, the ONE thing you can't nor will ever be able to bullshit your way out of, you're handling terribly." Needless to say, he didn't respond. I probably made him cry, and I'd feel about it, if & only if he didn't have the audacity to call me lazy (as if he has some great work-ethic or something).  To my fellow loathers of lardzillas, my newfound correlation is that most, if not almost all, obese people have a SEVERE debilitating personality fault, in that they would rather bullshit excuses as to why they're the way they are, rather than actually implement a smidgeon of self-discipline in order to improve their overall quality of their lives, as well as their longevity. I'm sure this probably isn't anything new to most of the users here, but it is to me, which is why I felt like sharing.  More importantly, if society deems it completely acceptable to hate on people for their undesirable personalities as well as their heinous actions, then it would be an asinine logical disconnect to not carry that same line-of-reasoning over towards people who outwardly show negative personality traits through their grossly excessive adipose tissue that they've consciously allowed themselves to build-up over the years. /EndRant I relatively new to this sub, and so far, it's become one of my all-time favorites (even when compared to some of my favorite ones on Reddit). Not only are most of the posts absolutely hilarious, but every single one of them do nothing but highlight and share the brutal truth that these ham-beasts would rather not think about.  Keep doing what you guys are doing & never for 1 second feel bad about it either. Because at the end of the day, spreading of awareness is the first and most major step towards solving a large problem.  Ironic fun-fact: The dishonest behemoth is also the assistant general-manager at our town's "Planet-Fitness"... [TL;DR]: Obese people are more inclined to lie to themselves and to others.
