Woodchucks, Stress, Injustice, Suffering

Grossest Fat Guy Winner Remember all those disgusting chubbies stuffing their faces with food? Well, you voted for the grossest fat guy, and the winner is this dude:

He really looks like he is having an orgasm as he is stuffing the burger into his face. Do all fat people roll their eyes in ecstacy when they are eating? Hopefully not, though I have probably done it myself once or twice. Unfortunately, gross porkers like the guy in the above photo just perpetuate stereotypes about obesity. So if you are overweight, don't wet your pants with joy when you are eating in a public place. It is embarassing. Get a life. Get a girlfriend. Get laid.

Celtic Girl and Woodchucks!
A very special person is back! It is Celtic Girl the cute little woodchuck avatar!! CG does not know about woodchucks and she has never heard "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" Here are some woodchucks for Celtic Girl's edifitication. Woodchucks are good. Woodchucks are our friends. Is Celtic Girl's woodchuck avatar the best avatar that anyone has ever seen? It might be a squirrel, but I think it is a woodchuck. What do you think?

Stress, Injustice, Suffering, and Perceptions: I wish I would win the Lottery. However, work is a necessary evil, and if you love and enjoy your work, then it is great. I think we all wish that we could work at a perfectly harmonious job situation. Wouldn't you like to be appreciated? However, life always seems to have wrinkles and creases in odd places. One reason that I have gained a lot of weight is stress. Another reason is the anger and injustice that I feel. Why have I been fat most of my life? Why have I not tried harder? Why have I let a variety of problems and issues derail me from my goals? Why haven't I been a better person? Why do so many nice, humble people suffer? Why did my friend Mike who used to be with me on the wrestling team back in high school get killed in a car accident when he was 17 years old? Why did my grandfather die relatively young? Why did my parents get divorced? Failure is what I have been building up to over the past five months. It has been growing inside of me slowly, like my weight. One ounce at a time. Not any single thing, but lots of minor complaints, excuses, injustices, perceived slights, feelings of not being loved, feelings that no matter what I do, the future will still be the same. This is the kind of thinking that got me to 420 lbs. of frustration. It is the negative thinking that is killing me, and negative thinking kills people as much as bullets, drugs, alcohol, and food. Turning lemons into lemonade is not just a cool trick, it is a matter of mental health and survival!

Is laughter the Answer to All Stress, Suffering, and Injustice?
I was looking around and found this very short and illuminating video by a Yoga Guru. I think it is the only way that I can succeed at my job and at losing weight. This video provides the answer to life and every problem that you can imagine. I finally have IT.

Exercise: Went to visit a new gym today. They were playing hard rock, which was great. I did 60 minutes of elliptical today. The weekend is almost here! This weekend I am buckling down. No parties. No cake. No treats. I did 45 minutes of ET on Friday.

Are We Ugly?

Here is another shot at McDonald's, this one is very funny (not gross):


While perusing youtube.com and other places that post videos, I noticed that if you look up "ugly people" nearly every video has a large percentage of fat and obese folks. Apparently they are considered ugly strictly due to being overweight. There were some cruel videos done by young people picking on their overweight young friends. In one particularly nasty vid, a fat girl is ridiculed by the youth she is proclaiming her love to, while other kids laugh at her too. A real freak show. There were so many bizarre vids that featured overweight people as the subject of loathing that I got a mental overload.

It is clear to me that the overweight are considered ugly. The media and public officials everywhere will deny it, but there is no question in my mind. If the stuff that is posted on youtube is any indication, the overweight are not just considered ugly, but also fair game for ridicule and outright hatred. Is it any wonder that so many overweight folks have low self-esteem?? On the other hand, what is the answer?

Loving yourself as you are sounds good; but when I accept myself as an obese person, I am very happy to just sit around eating ice cream and watching the TV. Not sure how it is for others, but I definitely need some self-anger to motivate me. Perceived slights also help. By nature, I am very passive and very willing to just sit by and do nothing. It really takes a lot to piss me off, and even more to keep me on it.

The reality is that it is hard to be pissed off about losing weight and yet normal, happy, and passive about work, family, and everything else. I certainly cannot have the testosterone levels up when I am at work or in general. So it is a very focused anger that is hard to maintain focused. I have not been very angry about anything over the past few months, even though I keep trying to use this blog as some kind of motivational tool, it is not getting me fired up about losing weight.

What can I do about it? I am really at a loss as to how I can stay motivated. Even though I am a long way from my goals, I have never actually stuck with any health regimen as long as I have now (three years). My natural tendency is that I think I have done enough, and I should give up and run to the Pizza Buffet. I like exercise when I am doing it regularly, but once I stop for a few days I don't miss it at all.

I have become a fat slob by nature. I am swimming against the tide. It is very disappointing, as I had hoped that the skinny, healthy, inner-me would have taken over by now, but I do not see that person anywhere. It is still the obese me, kicking and screaming every step of the way down the road of health. I was thin and very healthy and (dare I say it) buff once, back in High School! This video reminded me of my journey from High School to now, and I hope you enjoy it (It is a parody of the Dove Self-Esteem/Natural Look commercials):


Exercise: Friday I punked out. Saturday I did 45 minutes of elliptical and promised myself I would go back for more but didn't. Sunday I went to the gym before Church and did 50 minutes on the elliptical trainer. Later at night I went by the gym again and did another 35 minutes of ET. Monday morning I did 30 minutes of ET. I am weighing 288.8 this morning. After work, I did 45 minutes (25 on the cross-trainer and 20 on the ET).

Does anyone find those ski poles on those cross-trainers annoying? Is it just clumsy me? The cross trainer is harder on my knees than the elliptical, but when I try using those moving ski poles it puts more work on my arms. Does anyone like that pseudo-skiing? I used to think that people on those ski-trainers look ridiculous, but then so does running in place and so do treadmills. I guess cardio equiptment is a necessary evil that is a lot easier than running around the on streets. In ideal world I would be running fifteen miles around town like Bunnygirl often does. That is my next goal.

I went to the gym in the morning, and did 15 minutes on the ET because I was running very late for work.

Weekly Weight Loss Winner 7

Check out this girl's exercise routine:

What do you think? Will she lose any weight this way? Does she need help? Do you think friends or relatives should be permitted to call the police or otherwise have someone that obese committed to a special clinic or hospital? No one seems to want to comment on the video. Does this lady have to be offered snacks as motivation to do anything?

Captain Jeff lost 8 pounds this week, but he took himself out of the challenge because he felt that he had a "steroid" advantage because of prescripting meds he was given for a tooth infection. I am not too keen on rules, but if Jeff feels that the meds helped him lose weight, then I will respect his opinion. Losing 8 pounds is a major victory nom matter how it happened. So this week's weight loss winner is really close call between Chris H, Patty, and Celtic Girl! Chris H lost 3.52 pounds (1.5 kilos), Patty (Angelfish24) lost 3.50 pounds, and Celtic Girl lost 3.08 pounds (1.4 kilos). What a close contest! This is perhaps the closest one yet!! Of course, losing weight is the goal and the prize in itself. Chris H, Patty, Celtic Girl, Jeff, and many others who lost weight this week are all winners!!! If you lost even one ounce, YOU ARE A WINNER!! Chris H and Angelfish (Patty) are the co-winners this week at 3.5 pounds. I am not going to count past the first decimal, since this contest is just for fun and we are not wagering money! Congratulations Chris and Patty! Chris H likes going for walks and getting sleep when her kids are not up all night! She also likes children, remodeling her home, seafood fritters, her dogs and other animals, and her wonderful husband and family! Patty is a tirelss weightloss fighter and she is getting closer to the 200 pound milestone! I had originally listed Chris H as the sole winner, but what is a .02 difference really mean? On reflection, I have updated this week to include both ladies as co-champions!

The most important thing is that you are all winning the most important battle, the battle of the bulge!! I recall that when I started keeping track of the weekly weight loss I had been tracking the failed blogs; and now it is very clear to me that tracking the winners is a lot smarter thing to do. Every week I get inspired by you all, and I am amazed sometimes at the strength and determination that you have. I am humbled by my blog buddies. You are champions, and I am proud to know you! Thank you for being there and showing me the way when I am lost!!

Exercise: Tuesday I went to the gym in the morning and did 45 minutes on the cross-trainer. Then the same night I did 15 minutes on the elliptical and another 20 minutes on the cross-trainer (80 total). I did 30 minutes on the cross-trainer this Wednesday. Saw the Nancy Drew movie with the little angel, and it is a good movie for girls. Thursday I had 45 minutes on the ET. I need to start running at the park, it is a lot harder than any of the cardio machines.

You Are So Fat, Stop Eating

Check out this video it is brutally honest and funny too!


Here is another video, this is all FAT GIRLS. Someone wanted to see Fat Girls covered back when I did the Grossest Fat Guys. This is a good start. I have already compiled dozens of photos of big fat girls eating, but I have not had the time to crop and compress them and brighten the colors. So that will be coming up soon. For now, take a look at these gigantic hotties and THINK THIN!

No matter how obese or overweight you are, you can lose weight. When I was a gigantic blob that weight 420 lbs. and could barely walk to the refrigerator, I got motivated by God and the love of my family and friends. Suddenly it dawned on everyone that I was on the Highway to Death. I got to the gym. I did what little exercise I could. I stopped drinking soda and sugary drinks. It started there. Anyone can lose weight if you just put your mind to it and have FAITH in yourself.

Exercise: Sunday I went to the gym and worked the biceps for 8 sets. I did 60 minutes of ET today (Sunday).

Weekly Weight Loss Winner 6

Did you ever wonder what ever happened to Gary Coleman, the star of the Diffrent Strokes TV series? I never did until I found these troubling photos on the internet.Here is Coleman during the happy days of his successful career as a child actor. At one time he was more popular than Opie (Ron Howard).

But when Diffrent Stokes got cancelled and the fame was gone, Coleman turned to food in order to drown out his sorrows. He was a has-been at the age of fifteen.

When Coleman realized that he had been type-cast by Hollywood; he tried to break out of career-hell by trying to make it as a rapper. Coleman devised the ingenious idea of rapping Beatles songs. His first single, a cover of the Beatles' "Baby, You're a Rich Man," put Coleman back on the gravy train. But Coleman was too far ahead of his time. His Beatles' rap act never caught on, and subsequent releases bombed.



However, working in the music business had its perks. Coleman met groupies and became part of a new crowd.



Unfortunately, sagging sales and the lackluster attendance at his concerts doomed his musical career.

Before long, Coleman was trying to reinvent himself again. This time he chose to follow Arnold into politics! Vote for Gary Coleman, the next Governor of California? From child star to sleazy politician? By the way, this is a true story (more or less).

Which brings us to FinalFifty.com, Captain Jazzy Jeff, this week's Weight Loss Champion! Jeff states that he ran for public office a couple of years ago (City Commissioner?) and lost the election. This time, however, Jeff is the clear winner! This week, Jeff lost four pounds. He lost the four pounds over a nine day period, though. He weighed himself on different days between last week and this week; so should it invalidate his weight loss? Heck No! As Mister Ed would say, "A loss is a loss, of course, of course!" Even though he did not weigh himself on the same day, it was a weight loss that reflected the difference from one week to another week. I guess we could say it has to be within a seven day period, but then we would have to change the name to The Seven Day Weight Loss Winner. Instead, this is the more-relaxed WEEKLY Weight Loss Winner. Our standards may be lax, but our commitment is firm. On your left is a somewhat fuzzy photo of Jeff which shows that he is in pretty good shape even though he is technically about 30 pounds overweight. Jeff has lost about 121 pounds so far, and he is getting to the point where he might wear a speedo. Jeff works at his family market and also farming and crop harvesting. Jeff's favorite superhero is Captain America, and his favorite colors are red, white, and blue. Not sure what his favorite TV show is, but his favorite band is Van Halen. Just like last week, Half-Man gets an Honorable Mention for losing 3.6 pounds. Half Man has put forth some great results two weeks in a row. Hopefully he can win the title soon? Christine also gets an Honorable Mention for losing 3.2 pounds in around 8 days? She is really in the zone!! Congratulations to everyone that lost weight this week, and especially to Jazzy Jeff, this week's Weight Loss Winner!!

EFFORT and DETERMINATION are paying off for Captain Jeff, Half-Man, Christine, Cactus Freak, Wanna-B-Slim, and many others. Perseverence is the real deal. If you work hard at it, you can do it.

Exercise: Friday morning I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and later at night I did 60 minutes. Saturday afternoon I did 60 minutes on the elliptical.

Favorite TV Series

Let's start at the bottom and then go from there. I was tagged by a sweet girl named Cactus Freak (names have been changed to protect the innocent) to post my favorite TV shows, and here they be in a nutshell.

1) Bonanza- I found this picture, and I can only imagine how corny a Bonanza Party Music album must be. I guess it would have Hoss calling a square-dance. The best part would have to be the Hoedown, but since this was made in the early 1960s, it probably wouldn't have any hoes (drumroll please...). Bonanza was a fun series to watch. Back when I was a kid, I saw forests, horses, and wide open land and thought "Wow, that's cool." Growing up in New York City, the only horses I ever saw were ridden by the City Police, and the carraige rides around Central Park. The other great thing about this show was the family-oriented attitude. The three brothers were nice guys, and their Pop (Ben Cartwright) was usually trying to help people out. It was probably not a very realistic show, but it provided a positive entertainment for me as a kid. The show also had some attitude and often pointed out that people in positions of power were not necessarily good.

2) Law and Order- I like the SUV show too, but my favorite is the original version. I have not watched much of it during the past couple of years, but when the late Jerry Orbach was the lead detective, this was a great series. My personal favorite team was Chris Noth and Jerry Orbach as the detectives. A great combination of cynical and hard-edged guys. Noth now works on some episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Unfortunately, he has to share time with Vincent D'Onofrio as the potato-headed detective who gets everyone to confess. Sherlock Holmes and Perry Mason are not impressed.

3) Kung Fu- I always thought this series would have been great if in one of those alternate reality episodes the character of Kwai-Chang Caine had reverted to the normal personality of the actor, David "go f*ck yourself" Carradine. If you have ever seen Carradine act in other movies, you know his character on Kung-Fu was either an aberration or a work of uneartly spiritual illumination. I actually read Carradine's autobiography and some other books about Caine/Carradine; and I imagine that he gave Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones a run when it came to drugs, alchohol, women, and personal disasters. All that being said, Carradine's work on Kung-Fu was amazing if you are into that type of quiet character who walks softly but kicks @ss when needed. Kung-Fu spawned a few follow-up TV movies with Brandon Lee and also Kung-Fu The Legend Continues, where Carradine played the aging grandson of the original Kwai Chang Caine (I laughed too).

4) Tour of Duty- I used to be a big fan of this TV series back when the Vietnam War was more relevant than it is now. It was a thoughtful look at young people trying to get along and survive in a world full of surprises, prejudices, hardships, and people who want to kill them. It also had a good cast, and there were some regular guest stars on the show who were very cool back in the 1980s. One interesting thing that I learned from Tour of Duty was that the Australians played a major role supporting the USA. There a few episodes with good Australian actors saving the Americans in various battles.

5) Forever Knight-One of the good things about fantasy shows is that they never become outdated since the whole premise is not attached to real history. Forever Knight was a fun show because it featured a police detective who worked the night shift because he was a vampire. He had a couple of other vampires in the mix, most of the time they were trying to get Detective Knight to revert back to being an evil guy. While the special effects were strictly low-budget, this TV show had a lot of entertaining moments.

6) Friday The 13th TV Series-This was a TV series that had no real connection to the movies. The premise was that a man who had sold his soul to S*tan had collected dozens of cursed demonic objects which he had sold to people in exchange for their souls. The trio of demon hunters were on a mission to find all the trinkets and take them out of circulation. Usually these trinkets could only bring good things to those who killed (sacrificed) others. So the demon hunters followed the trail of dead bodies and eventually got each cursed object back (but they were not very gifted in terms of anticipating anyone's next move).

7) Charmed- starred Holly Marie Combs as Piper, Shannon Doherty as Prue, Julian McMahon as Cole Turner, Rose McGowan as Paige, Alyssa Milano as Phoebe, and Brian Krause as Leo Wyatt, the whitelighter. The first three seasons were great, as Shannon Doherty was the leader of the team of young witches and most of the episodes combined some sexy humor with actual supernatural mystery and suspense. Unfortunately, once Shannon Doherty left the show, the writing changed to emphasize the dating problems and romances of the characters.

On a sad note, Mr. Wizard (Don Herbert) passed away on June 12 at the age of 89. I used to watch his show as a kid, though I imagine that I was watching re-runs (his show was on from 1951-1965). I also tried to do several of the experiments. One time I talked my Mom into helping me make Elmer's Glue. We watched the program together, and it involved boiling milk and adding some household chemicals to the milk. All we ended up with was a pan of spoiled milk. My Mom did not like Mr. Wizard too much after that. Some of the other experiments worked and were pretty cool. As a kid, I enjoyed this show a lot. Mr. Wizard made kids feel like McGyver. We could invent things by using household chemicals and other odds and ends that were laying about. The walkie-talkie using two cups and a string is another one. There were several experiments that involved eggs, and those were occasionally messy. Water was often used too, and that was fun and usually messy. Mr. Wizard was a cool character who very patiently performed the experiments giving his television viewing audience very easy directions to follow. Thanks Mr. Wizard, for many fun moments back when I was a kid. Rest In Peace.

Diet Enemy #13 Chex Mix

Few things tingle my palate like the crunchy goodness of Chex Mix. Fortunately, I have enough sense to never buy it. In fact I have not bought a bag of this stuff in at least a year or two. Unfortunately, I am not the only one that likes Chex Mix at my home. Much to my surprise, as I was fiddling about looking for a bottle of water last night, I opened a kitchen drawer on the off-chance that there might be something tasty hidden away. I was not disappointed. Next to the bag of dried pineapple bits (trail mix?) which I would never eat, was a half a bag of Chex Mix, with one of those little plastic bag clips over the top. Now I thought to myself, in a day or two this delicious Chex Mix will grow ever so slightly stale even if the bag is closed. What a waste. So I did my sneak-theif impersonation.

Does any fatty know what I am talking about? When you are walking around the kitchen in the middle of the night and you are quietly opening drawers looking for food? As we fatties know, when you find the food then it gets tricky. You have to open the drawer completely to get the big bag out, and you want to avoid waking anyone up or making those tell-tale sounds of "Fat Person Finding Hidden Food." Those aluminum foil bags of chips make so much noise. Just as bad as the bags of cookies. Once you have retrieved the bag, you listen carefully for sounds. Did anyone wake up? Are you going to hear someone yell "What are you doing in the kitchen?" Then you slowly tiptoe away to the secret eating place in your home. It could be the living room, TV room, bedroom, backyard, or maybe even the bathroom. Then you consume mass quantities. I look at it as a public service to my family. If I eat all the unhealthy foods, I am saving them from becoming overweight.

Anyhow, there I was with the bag of Chex Mix, and the crunchy cheezy flavor was better than dying and going to Heaven. In fact, when I die, if I go to Heaven; I hope that Saint Peter will be waiting by the Pearly Gates with a bag of Chex Mix (a jumbo bag). This was the Cheddar flavor (my favorite, though all bags of Chex Mix are my favorites). The big label on the bag said "60% LESS FAT than regular potato chips." To me, that meant that I could eat 60% more Chex Mix. So I polished off the whole half-bag. It took about five minutes, maybe less. It just made me more hungry. If there had been five bags around the house I would have eaten them all.

Yes, I am humbled by my addiction to food. Those little square corn chex and wheat chex covered with cheddar cheese powder are sinfully delicious. Then there is the bagel chips, the rye chips, and the little pretzels. All covered with that maddening cheddar powder. Who can resist? I knew these folks who used to make their own Chex Mix on a large wok in their yard (where they had a grill). They would put the grill at the very lowest temperature, add butter, Chex Mix, Doritos, peanuts, parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper, and whatever else they thought of. Man, that was some good, greasy, cheesy, delicious, crunchy hot Chex Mix. For all of the above reasons, Chex Mix is hereby officially certified as a DIET ENEMY (#13). Never to be eaten or touched again, BANNED FROM CONSUMPTION (BFC).

Weight Loss Winner 5

Last week I skipped the Weight Loss Winners because it looked like nobody had lost more than a pound. I don't want to seem like a fat-loss snob, but it seemed like everyone was under-achieving (I won't mention my own lack of accomplishments). However, this week was a totally different matter. Not only did most of the regular blog friends lose weight, but Christine lost a whopping FIVE POUNDS! That is like losing a McDonald's baby! Christine credits participating in a cancer fundraising relay, spending time with her sweet little god-daughter who is doing chemo; and time off from work due to an injury. In spite of Christine having such great results, she has still had a few pitfalls, mostly to peanut butter sandwiches and peanut butter cookies! Christine's incredible results go to show that even when you have a bad day or a bad snack/cheat moment, you can still salvage the week and accomplish a positive result. As far as this informal recognition goes, Christine holds the record for weight loss in one week, five pounds!! Kudos to Christine! I think any overweight person knows that getting five pounds off in one week is top flight! However, Christine now becomes the second repeat Weight Loss Winner! Christine also won WLW#3! So now Christine joins Cactus Freak as two-time Weight Loss Winners!! Meanwhile, getting Honorable Mention is Half-Man who lost 3.4 lbs! What a great effort by a weight loss warrior who has lost over sixty pounds in just a few months!! Congratulations to everyone who lost weight this week, even if it was only an ounce!!

The most popular weight-loss blog poll is over. These are the top five in the voting poll for the favorite blogs as voted on by the readers of this blog (whatever that means). Wanna B Slim got 16 votes, edging out Cactus Freak who got 15. Keep It Simple came in third with 12 votes, Practicing Patience got 11, and Final Fifty got 7 votes. Thanks to everyone that voted, though only 83 votes were cast. I hope more of you will vote for The Favorite Dead Fat Celebrity and The Grossest Guy contests. It's for a good cause, entertainment.

Since I started dieting in 2004, I have never been on any formal diet plan. I tried the Atkins Diet for about two weeks, but I never actually stuck to the diet. I don't like diets, however, sometimes a diet is the only way that a person can get focused on the goal of losing weight. So after gaining twenty pounds over the past four months, I am giving myself one last chance. If I don't lose weight in June, I am going to try out Nutraslim, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, or some other official diet clinic where I can meet with diet counsellors and nutritionists and have every calorie analyzed and catologued. I had bought some diet calorie-counting software several years ago and I have to upload the CD and see how that works.

Aside from the dietary, the only thing that I have control of is the exercise. In fact, the exercise has always been the key. It is the only thing that has propelled me to lose weight, considering that I really do not diet at all, and often eat a lot more than I should. It is not like I get a giant extra helping of food. I do it a little bit at a time. A little extra here, a little extra there. This is a lot harder to control than my over-eating behavior in the old days, when I just ate mega-meals at Wendy's, BK, etc. (Super-Size It!) and would stop off at the Chinese or Pizza Buffet once or twice a month and eat four plates of food. However, now my self-destructive overeating behavior has evolved. I am just pushing the limits a little bit all the time.

So the only way that I can retaliate against this subversive behavior is with exercise. Lots of it. The Treadmill. The elliptical trainer. The bicycle. The park. Lots of walking, maybe even jogging!! I may even hire a personal trainer to take me on mountain hikes and leave me with just a canteen of water, twenty miles from the road. I used to go to the park once or twice a week, because it was a way for me to do exercise and relax. I have strayed from the formula of success. I have not been going to the gym as much because the gasoline is so expensive. I say, "It will cost me at least two dollars of gas to drive to the gym (and back). I can walk around at home and save that money." But that is not working. My idea of walking around at home is to walk to the refrigerator and then to the couch to watch TV. So even if it is more expensive to drive to the gym twice a day; going to the gym makes a lot more weight-loss sense to me. I don't have the discipline to jog around the block unless I am jogging towards the market to buy a Sport Shake or potato chips. That's just the truth. At the gym I feel peer-pressure. Looking at all those pretty girls gets me to actually exercise harder. Then I get dehydrated and drink lots of water from the water fountain!!

This is the situation with the weight: I have been going to birthday parties, family events, and weddings. I need to stop. I cannot stand around a barbecue grill or other situation where great food is being prepared and not eat a lot of it. Is it recommended for an alcoholic to have a party with Mel Gibson? Should a drug addict and/or sexaholic hang around with Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, or Lindsay Lohan? Last week I had a weight spike which apparently was mostly water retention. This week I lost most of that, but I am still going in the wrong direction. I have to really crack down on my fat arse. I also have to ramp up the exercise. Anyone who has read my blog since last year recalls that I was doing 2000 or more minutes of cardio nearly every month. Over the past few months I have been doing very little cardio, and my metabolism is not burning off the calories. So today I renew my commitment to return to the formula that helped me shed so much weight: EXERCISE and faith in a higher power.

Fat Men Eating

The other day I was surfing the net, and I started looking at some photos of fat people. Then I started googling fat people eating. I noticed that most of them have a look on their faces that is very unique. Something along the lines of lost souls, lost hope, shattered dreams, or just plain blank stares. It was kind of creepy to see. Check out these photos of fat men eating.

Have you ever noticed that fat people that work at stores are really slow? Have you ever watched a fat employee at K-Mart or Wal-Mart shuffle along? They pull their girth, much like elephants. It really is a lot of weight to carry around. Whether someone is only ten pounds overweight or a hundred pounds (or more), the human body is made to carry a specific weight based on your height and bone structure. Every pound over your normal weight causes drag on the rest of your body (and your heart).

Make up captions to your favorite photos. I have numbered them for your convenience. Who is the cutest fat guy? Who is the most disgusting? Which one of these guys reminds you of your husband? Best friend? Brother? Boss? High School buddy? Share your own experiences regarding obese men. Vote for the Grossest Guy!



#1) Why is this man smiling? Cactus Freak: "He's obviously posing for a magazine cover." Half-Man sez: "Hee-Hee! they bought the line about paying them on Tuesday for a burger today-Whimpy (Popeye's fat pal).


#2) Anyone wearing a Charlie Brown shirt has issues.

#3) What do you think? Half-Man sez: "I feel sick...umph...wait...no...I can fit another bite before I hurl..."

#4) "I love to eat chocolate pie and imagine Tina Turner." Abba: "has devil eyes!" Half-Man sez: "Woo-Hoo, that was just the appetizer!"

#5) Chugging soda?

#6) Is he remembering a sad moment in his life? Candee sez: "What the hell did I order? Why am I eating this? Maybe the beer will help me forget?" Half-Man sez: "Are you going to eat that?"

#7) I wonder how his McDiet worked?

#8) "So hard. So hot. Creamy corn all over my face. It don't get any better." Abba sez: "Looks like he is ready for a cup of tea with his corn, according to his pinky."
