Nope, not gonna happen. Nobody was upset at Tourqe's insulting comments. Why should I "step back."

I know I have plenty of preconceived notions, mostly stemming from the fact that I consistently see heavy people filling their face at lunch, and skinny people running, biking or rollerblading at lunch. I'm sure there's no correlation, but the gym seems to be awfully short on heavy people outside of January.

Wow, simply wow. Did you read anything so far, did you watch the BBC series?

Obesity is obviously something different, because no one would go through that if they had a choice, but I'm pretty sure that's not what posters like Tourque are writing about either.

Oh no not at all, I mean what could he possibly mean by:

We shame smokers, being fat is no different. Both are (or require) direct, intentional actions that are often sustained through habit that lead to negative health and interpersonal outcomes. Fat shame is necessary.

No Torque is not at all writing about that, that you should SHAME fat people, that is NOT what he said...

Yes, you should be ashamed if you've treated the only body you get in this life like a dumpster. Fat shame is why I learned about proper diet and nutrition and lost weight properly. I'm fit as hell now, but it wasn't without realizing no one gets a second chance in this world and you have to just do it.

Not only did Torque not say that, he totally did not suggest you should be ashamed at being overweight or obese. Also that anyone who is overweight or obese, does not care about life in this world, and wants to die. Because clearly if you do not lose weight, you hate life and want to die..

The trick is to hate your body enough to recognize you need to change, and love yourself enough to realize you're worth the effort. Self-actualization is key.

Hey Calgarypuck, likes for his post, this is the guy you "liked" a slightly over weight judgmental guy who has for the benefit of all of humankind decided that the obesity problem is simple, just work out, don't eat too much and shame yourself and realize you are fat, and need to become skinny..
What a hero!
