But see, you're assuming they got fat because they're lazy. I am telling you here and now, I WILL NEVER be a "skinny" girl. I'm not making excuses. I eat maybe once a day, because I cannot eat fatty foods or I will shit my guts out, but lately it's been anything I eat. I have polycystic ovaries,and a fucking sloooow metabolism.I fucked the metabolism up in my teens probably by starving myself to be skinny. My body is in starvation mode all the time, and stockpiles calories.I have been diagnosed with an under active thyroid by one doctor, but because my primary doc does not agree,I am not being treated for that.I have no insurance,and pay for meds out of pocket,and doctors appointments, too.I cannot afford to see an endocrinologist.Now,I do housework, take care of animals and kids,garden, etc...yes, I could add some weight training, and soon will.However, I don't lose weight like you do.Doing the same program as you, you may lose 50 pounds,I'd lose 10.And then plateau and nothing more. Am I 600 pounds? No,but I'm not skinny, that's for sure. I'm not "lazy". I realize as a teen I could have been better to myself, not starving myself, etc. But we were poor,so eating six small meals wasn't an option. I'm not making excuses nor asking for pity. I am saying, if you overlook me as a person because I don't fit your"ideal",and you make assumptions about how and why I am who I am without knowing the facts, you're doing the exact same thing to me because of how I look that the anti drug folks do to all of us potheads because of how we choose to enjoy or medicate ourselves. Do you like it? I am a person, and when I die,just like you, I will turn back into dust.If there's more after this life,I'm pretty sure that the bag of meat that houses your soul has nothing to do with it. I AM beautiful, in my own way,because I am unique,just like you.There's only one me.And who are you to tell me what kind of me I should be? I hope you don't think I'm saying any of this in a bitchy manner.It's not my intention to argue with you, just discuss. If we got high together, I would have you rolling on the floor with tears in your eyes, laughing. I've done it to entire rooms of people. If you were my friend, and someone hurt you, I would be there to back you up.If you got jumped in a bar by a bunch of folks and I was there,man, woman,whatever, I would tear through them to try to get to your side and even the odds. I would back you up. I would never steal from you.If you were my friend and you were out of weed, I would give you some. I can hold my own during any philosophical discussion you might wanna have when you're feeling high and spiritual.I would tell you if you had a booger hanging out of your nose. If you had a wound that noone else would help you treat, I would do that for you. If you were my friend, I would lie to the cops for you, even if it meant I would take the fall. If you got fat,I wouldn't judge you.If you got face cancer and your fucking face fell off and you had to get prosthetics, I would not cringe from you if you wanted a kiss on your fake plastic cheeks.If you were my friend and you got so fucked up you shit your pants, I'd clean your sorry ass up and wash your clothes. Can you tell all that by looking at me? Or would you have to swallow your prejudice and get to know me?
I don't know how to say this without being rude... but I spend time boxing and wrestling, running around staying active and taking care of my physical shape. Now, if someone is so lazy that they let themselves get fat, how can I from an athletic standpoint, think that a fat person gives a fuck about anything if they are willing to let themself get like that?
Congratulations Sarah..beware really rapid weight loss, it can leave loose skin.If you do some weight lifting it should help.
