Former Hammate (lots of first-hand fat logic... sort of a rant) Okay so, tiny bit of background info; I'm currently in sophomore year in college, and last year I lived in a house with several other students. I used to be a fat fuck, but after gaining a few freshman pounds I noped the fuck out, got my shit together and dropped from 180 to 128 lbs over this past year (at 5'4"). Anyway, one of the girls and I bonded over our common weed habit. She also happens to be a planet; she's 150-160 lbs at 4'9, with a giant protruding gut. Around the time I first started going to my college's gym and counting calories, she seemed to have fresh inspiration to eat healthy and exercise. The thing is... she'd refuse to count calories. Her exact words one time were, "I don't want to have to count calories, I want to be able to eat whatever I want because it's healthy." She's also told me multiple times that she won't eat grapes and sweet potatoes because of the sugar, and then would proceed to have a giant plate of pasta with ground beef for dinner (of course she makes her sauce with pesto and cheese and olive oil.. so many unnecessary calories, it makes me cringe.) She eats fast food ALL the time, and makes excuses for it too. I can't fathom the amount of time's she's bought fast food because "my chicken breast will take too long to defrost" or "I'm too tired to cook" like idk, make a sandwich for fuck's sake. Once, a couple months ago when we were smoking at her new house with another friend, she offered me a cookie. I hadn't eaten much that day and since I'm maintaining my weight now I figured why not and I took one. A couple minutes later she glanced at my phone and was like "OMG are you googling the calories for that?!?! Wow that is so obsessive!! Just enjoy it." Like, I'm sorry, I didn't know I wasn't allowed to want to be aware of what's going into my body.   Her fat logic is astounding. She used to work at a gym and so is "really into fitness"; for example, she'd go to our local supplement store whenever there was a sale and drop a shit ton of money on useless products like fat burners and various vitamins and stuff. She was one of those fats who would make a smoothie with kale and omega-3 and friggin fibre supplements, and then in the same day eat mcdonald's plus tons of pasta or pizza for dinner plus chips and alcohol. She also drank quite often for no reason; even if just a couple glasses of wine or a few beers, she'd drink on multiple weekday nights when nobody else was drinking and there was no occasion. And don't get me started on her apparent fitness... In the year and a half I've known her, she's been working out consistently ( at leasts according to her.... I would say maybe a couple of times a week). She would constantly express the desire to lose weight (still does), but is the exact same fucking weight as a year and a half ago, if not heavier. On multiple occasions, she has started bragging about her workouts to people that she met not even 5 minutes previously, and made them feel her biceps. Like okay, but we can also clearly see your fupa and your back rolls bulging through the white tank top you decided to wear (something I'll actually never understand... she'd often wear yoga pants and tank tops at home and her belly and back fat would be literally hanging out.) We never worked out much together because she went to a gym off-campus, but a few times she invited me to come work out at her gym. I always figure hey, why not; it's free and less crowded. Most recently was maybe a couple of months ago. Long story short, I'm a lot stronger than her, but she tried to tell me that the 50 lb barbell I was using for bent-over rows was too heavy and I needed to do one of her supersets with a set of 10 lb dumbells to build muscle mass or some shit. She also used a squat rack to squat with 10 lbs on each side of the bar, and tried to critique my form on almost every exercise we did... wow okay bitch, it's not my fault I can do them (with good form, that I carefully watch, tyvm) and with much higher weight than you. Sorry for the language or if it seems like I'm bragging at parts... I just started thinking about how fucking stupid she is. Maybe it's because I used to be fat so I know first-hand how everything she says is such bullshit. Too many times I had to make excuses because no, I didn't want to split a large pizza with her. That's all that comes to mind right now but there are so many more typical fat person things she'd do on a daily basis. Like stuff your face and be a fatass, I don't care, but don't try to brag about how fit you are and how much you want to lose weight if if you're obviously not willing to make a lifestyle change. God some people piss me off. /endrant
