Beth Ditto Would Do Anything for Streisand, but She Won't Do That

The main problem with weight gain is how people perceive it.

I questioned why it seems that more thin people contract cancer than heavier people 10 yrs ago. It always seems thin celebrities get cancer more than overweight celebrities.
As far as weight, it really has nothing to do with laziness, it has to do with being able to deal with being hungry long enough to lose the weight. And for some maintaining means being hungry and not being able to eat just because you are really hungry if you gain easily. This in and of itself is a huge mental challenge when trying to lose and maintain. Some of us just dont lose very easily.
Someone could look at me and think I eat bags of chips all day. Fact is I know more about nutrition and health than most dr's but I am very overweight. I am also pretty healthy with perfect bloodwork. I eat very very little refined foods, I dont drink soda, havent for years. I all kinds of healthy foods that most thin people wouldn't touch. I never buy cookies, crackers and processed foods that most thin people eat, stopped that over 10 years ago. The fact is also that alot of not most heavy people know calories and healthy foods better than thin people who have never had a weight problem. They've had to learn when theyve tried dieting 10000000 times in their lives.
Just because you are thin doesnt mean you are healthy.
I see countless people, young, mostly thin people on a chat site I belong to sitting on cam eating nothing but pizza and fast food 24/7. Not to mention all the other junk. They think they are immune to heart disease and every other health problem. They are not.
Body fat doesnt always equate to unhealthiness inside.
And being thin doesnt always equate to healthiness inside.
People who are overweight but eat healthy most of the time and exercise regularly ( I am one who does) are most likely healthier than thin people who eat unhealthy and do not exercise.
Smoking to me is is nasty and disgusting but people accept others puffing on cigs and smelling like smoke more than they accept people who are fat. Being fat doesnt mean you have to be unkept or unclean. Thin people can be unclean and not take care of themselves, as well.
It is one of the most difficult things to lose weight because we all have to eat to survive so each time we go to put something in our mouths we have to think so carefully about it for those of us who gain easily.
I eat less than 2000 calories per day, almost always healthy unprocessed, unrefined foods and workout on an elliptical almost every day and unless I eat 1000 or less calories per day my body is very resistant to weight loss. Its been this way my entire life.
Ive been tested for thyroid, everything is always normal.
It is very difficult to do the normal activities day in and out for months and months and eat really low calories. It gets exhausting, mentally and physically.
I am not any lazier than the next person.
I just dont like starvation feelings, at least not 7days/ week for months on end. And to maintain if I can lose the weight again is almost as bad.
I have alot of injuries but still workout. So my point is that someone could look at me right now and assume i ate candy, chips and drink soda all day when nothing could be further from the truth!

Well speaking of Stupidity, if you read alot of this B.
S that is going on here, there is a lot of people the are heartless, and mouthy..You all need to put yourself in the other person's shoes for one day. maybe you will then understand. Everyone seems to think they know it all, and yet they know nothing..there are people trying to help out, and yet all you all can do is critize them, so what if they don't fit your criteria as to what a person should or shouldn't look like, as long as they are happy with them selevs is what matters. so stop putting them down and show some kind words of encourgement, and maybe this could have a profound reaction for them.For all you, know it all idiots out there are just that IDIOTs...grow up....and get a life, instead of worrying about others and what they need to do with their life...Because Your know it all opinion means just that, NOTHING!!!

shouldnt they get some mods to come delete the stupid ads?

Who the hell is Beth Ditto, anyway? I never heard of her until she bitched about Katy Perry and now she says something that's about as DUH as it can get.

could that be what's wrong with fat ass queen latifah? or okra winfrey?

I've never heard of her. Who is she?

what a charming young lady and her use of the english language is so refreshing. clearly she is someone to be revered for her opinion.

"Because the truth is, we aren't unhealthier..."? Sounds to me like she could use another doctor.
