CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE! ACK!

Its quite clear she's had bed experiences with dieting and has given up. The fat pride movement needs fat people who live healthy lifestyles to gain momentum, not bitter cows.

I used to work at a gym and there really are fat people that are healthy and in good shape, they just have a certain body type or some kind of condition. You also shouldn't, in general, be a dick to fat people. That doesn't mean that there's no such thing as too fat, or that losing weight isn't often a good idea.

can we be dicks to fat assholes such at the one featured in the video?

Their joints are still probably going to fall apart prematurely, but they're also probably no worse off in that regard than long distance runners are.

Incidentally, I first misread the title as "lady takes down scones," which is probably accurate as well.

It has all the ingredients of tumblr activism: the belief that what they're doing is somehow radical or dangerous, the complete lack of difference actually being made, and the narcissistic need to record themselves doing these acts and make it about them.

The children must know freedom. If you aren't able to choose evil then you can't truly be good.

They're kids. They don't get to choose at all.

Do you mind if I ask how serious it is? Which Type?

I still have a lot to learn about this (they make you take a class) so all I'm going to tell you now is that the doctor who gave me the news was upbeat and encouraging; and 2. Basically, I need to lose weight.

Now, here's a little story. There's only one thing that ever helped me lose weight and that was walking 10K steps a day with a pedometer. I dropped a lot of weight, but then I had an accident where I broke my ankle, and after that apparently something happened in the factory in china where they make pedometers. Maybe it's a communist plot, but all of a sudden every pedometer that I buy at walmart or whatever breaks within a month. It's been like that for the past few years... BUT

Two weeks ago, I bought my first smart phone, and, as it happens the day before I get the diagnosis I discovered that there was an app that allows my phone to count my steps... so I''m on it. If I lose enough weight I might be able to get my blood sugar back down over the line. Also I can

How serious it is depends on how well I respond. Discipline doesn't come easily to me, but it comes. I quit smoking, and then I quit drinking.

Yeah, you'll be OK. I work at a hospital and there are plenty of diabetics running around there with crazy good quality-of-lives; it sounds scary, and maybe a hundred years ago it would have been, but nowadays there's lots of treatments and it's more of an inconvenience than anything. It stinks having to watch your diet, but you're in no immediate danger of serious problems, like losing your foot or whatever, just so long as you stay on top of things and lose some weight. It's even possible to reverse the condition, especially if you get on it early, like you're doing!

One of the changes in recent years is that they've moved the line, so they tell you you've got diabetes a lot earlier than they used to, which no doubt helps with management.
