I put on 30 during pregnancy, and only 3kg of that was baby.Enteebee said:I weigh 110kg, in year 11 I weighed 80, end of the 1st year of uni I weighed 150. In my experience it is remarkably easy to gain weight based on relatively small lifestyle changes but then a hard, daunting slog to get it off.
For someone to lose 50kg it will take probably an entire year or more, with a good diet and consistent excercise. So while you might be thinking that girl next to you on the train is just another lazy fatass, she might have been excercising for an hour a day and eating right for the past 6 months while being psychologically tortured by every asshole she comes across, so give her a fucking break about squashing you a little on the seat.
It is motherfucking painfully hard to lose weight, especially when we're talking in the range of 15+ kilograms. I ended up at the gym with a lot of overweight chicks and their mantra was the same. 'If I don't see results within like, DAYS this is fucking bullshit and I give up'
This thread was meant to be a joke I think, but we've gone all serious. Health promotion needs to be preventative. We need to address what makes somebody become obese and prevent it.
I'm not talking about the fat chick with a muffin top, I'm talking about the chick with 5 freakin aprons hanging from her gut.
