Archive for fat people

When I receive the onslaught of e-mails like I have in regards to yesterday’s blog post condemning me to Hell and parts unknown, I have to ask one question;” What really are the benefits of being Fat?”

It seems like a logical question being that I get haters by the dozens telling me what a harsh son of a bitch I am. That I should die…even though they might be two pie slices away from a heart attack. It doesn’t make sense to me that Fat people and thin people who have taken up the fat people’s cause would curse the day I was born but can’t give me any real “benefit” to why being fat is such a great status symbol that they should be accepted, tolerated and given special treatment.

When someone can give me a real answer and not something that poses as an idiotic excuse for comedy like, “When your fat you can wear sweatpants to a restaurant and no one cares”. Yep…brilliance on parade here…or even more stupid, “You can always get your money’s worth at the all-you-can-eat-buffet”. Yep, I’m laughing so hard I’m peeing my pants.

If you can find any benefits which I don’t think you can…then what the hell is taking you so long to get your shit together?

…and by the way, Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

How about watching the video portion of my blog below.

stuffing-your-faceThis is one of those things that pisses me off beyond belief.  I have many motivational type quotes that I use and have used over the course of my career, one being…”Fat People are Stupid and then they die!”. That quote breeds so much controversy and venom from fat people and now from idiotic fitness professionals…I think.

Let me begin by saying that I left a comment on a friend and colleague’s blog that asked for inspirational/motivational quotes.  I left a bunch of them including “Fat People are Stupid…then they die!” and someone decided (using initials not even their name) to respond to me in the comments section that “The amount of body fat a person possesses has nothing to do with their intelligence level”. Now whomever this person is should quit the fitness business if he/she is truly apart of this industry because anyone who condones fatness in this industry is themselves “Stupid”.

I don’t care if you are a member of MENSA, a Rocket Scientist, brain surgeon, heart surgeon, if you have the cure for cancer and you drop dead tomorrow at 40 years old or younger because of Obesity related issues…you are dumber than a box of rocks! You’ve wasted your life on gluttony and got what you deserve…Death by Stupidity.

SO you can Boo Hoo all you want and make all the lame excuses you want but the reality is that if you are fat and don’t do anything about it, want to bitch and complain, want everyone to accept you for what you are…then you are “Stupid” and should and will die of a heart attack or something worse.

I’m driving up to Santa Fe yesterday and I’m taken in every bit of what I call “God’s Country”.  The majesty of where I live and my surroundings is so beautiful it’s overwhelming.  If you have never been to New Mexico or the the States that border the “Four Corners” you are truly missing a part of the great country we live in.

I come from a small town in New Jersey not more than 18,000 lived there or probably still live there very upper middle class and as a kid I lived in what was considered the slums of Ridgefield, NJ…the apartments near the park.  My brother’s and I grew up in an incredibly dysfunctional working class family. I look back and remember the feeling of being poor but the reality was that my parents made descent money it was just elusive to us.  Those are word’s for another story…  Being poor felt horrible to me and I vowed never to feel that sense of insecurity again as long as I lived…and it’s been a roller coaster ever since.  That drive and determination took me out of NJ and sent me to NYC, Cincinnati and now Albuquerque, NM… and it got me thinking.

The choices fat people are not one’s of “thrive” they are mostly about survival.  Instead of living their life in forward momentum it seems that of a life stuck in the the rhythm of insanity and circular strides, always coming back to the familiar and comfortable.  This same hold’s true for most homeless people…with one exception.  Most fat people use there job, kids and spouse as an excuse for not having the time to workout and eat sensibly.  Most homeless don’t have those worries.

Like I said it got me to thinking.  If homeless people don’t really have anything tying them down to one place then why the hell would they stay in freezing cold weather in NYC, Cincinnati, Boston and the real stupidity Chicago.  It just doesn’t make sense.  If I was homeless, I would begin walking (if I had to) to a warmer destination.  If I had to brave the winter’s in a cardboard shanty I’d opt for Florida, Texas or Louisiana.  Now I’m not saying that all the homeless should start a mass migration to warmer climates but I just wonder about the mentality.  If you could be homeless wouldn’t you want to take the stress of maybe freezing to death off your list of worries.  Maybe it’s me?

The big reason homeless people don’t move is because they don’t know any better.  Their reality is with the familiar and as shitty as the freezing cold might seem.  They still live in the comfort that it is familiar to them. The familiarity of fat and your surrounding’s of being fat are what keep you fat. Not wanting to challenge yourself to see want’s beyond the fat.  As with my recommendation to homeless people living in the frigid conditions of the Midwest and Northeast to move to warmer climates please get out of the fat comfort zone.

Make the sacrifices necessary to lose the weight, challenge yourself to see the rest of your life the way you want it, not the way someone else thinks you should live.  You really do have a choice.

In this year of change and the battle cry of “Yes, We Can” let’s take our new presidents advice and fight for what is yours…a better life out of the prison of fat.

It’s about time you lose weight fast.

I know this is a touchy subject.  Most people think that you shouldn’t discriminate against anyone but when it comes to fat I am not one of them.  Fat is not a race, “handicap”, or gender problem.  It is a self-inflicted problem that you bring on yourself…and it is a selfish infiction at that.  You were not born “Fat” no matter what science is trying to determine.  Our bodies were ment to move and participate in physical work.

If you are not moving then you need to provide that physical exertion somewhere else. I am really getting sick of the fact that there are more and more activist websites going up in regards to fat acceptance.  I’m also waiting for smokers to make a comeback and have activist groups for the acceptance of smoking, another self-inflicted health problem.  If we are baning smokers from everywhere because smoking makes people feel uncomfortable especially on airplanes than why should we have to sit next to Fat People…and be made to feel uncomfortable.  I used to have empathy…now I don’t. It used to be that being so fat that you fall into someone else’s seat was a rarity, now it’s become so commonplace that there is a movement for it to become acceptable.   Not on my watch.

The airlines will have to address this sooner then later and I’m hoping sooner.  There is no reason that I should be made uncomfortable when I have paid the same amount or usually more than someone who takes up two seats.  This is NOT acceptable.

For the record…I don’t hate fat people just like I don’t hate smokers, drug addicts, or alcoholics.  I just hate their behavior.

Watch my video and tell me what you think.  Should fat people be measured before they get on the airplane?

This is part two of the “Playground Workout” that I put local Albuquerque Kiss Morning Show Radio Personality “Kandee Man” through. I wanted to teach him that there is no reason to be fat, and that you have all the equipment you need to take the weight off right at your local playground.

So if you don’t have money for a gym membership or can’t afford expensive fitness equipment than follow along and try my version of “The Playground Workout”. This is after he had a so called “Bad Weekend”.

Hopefully without choking to death on your own breath!
