Unemployment Better Than Fat

I read Fitness magazine along with other health related magazines and I find the findings intersting. I know that for me personaly gaining weight is extemely traumatic and most women my age feel the same way.

Hmmm. Putting on 75lbs is a gradual thing, whereas losing your job is an instantaneous, usually unexpected thing. I'm not sure the traumatic nature of these could compare for that reason alone.

It's my guess that people who say they'd rather be poor/ unemployed than fat have never been poor/unemployed, just as those who say that money can't buy happiness don't understand economics.

I think we need to look at the audience that was polled. I mean not everyone that reads fitness magazine is obsessed with their figures, but come on! That's like asking Cosmo readers who's sexier, Sean Connery or (I don't know) Orlando Bloom (?).

You have to look at people's frames of reference for any poll, and the people that are (1) exposed to the poll to begin with and (2) motivated to actually respond to it, dictate the results you will get. Any polling method will give you biased results, but a fitness poll in a fitness magazine is in no way scientific.

I'd rather be unemployed than gain 75 pounds. I'm a 5'11, 180lb. male. Gaining 75 pounds would make me look horrible (I know, I was 250 8 months ago BTW, until I got my ass in gear and started eating right and exercising an hour a day).

It's a lot easier to find a new job than to lose 75 pounds. And if not easier, at the very least, a lot faster.

Put further, a recent study shows that we are working far too many hours at the office.

I work for 40 hours a week, plus another part time job at a supermarket...well...I may want to quit working at a supermarket and start pushing carriages at a whole foods store.

But anyways, if you are a corporate owner, you need to arrange a meeting with your workers to cut down their hours because 40 hours at an office sitting creates back pain, a strain on the eyes for people sitting in front of a computer, and risks for infectious paper cuts from paper work. I think that they need to either cut the work days down to 6 hours a day, or cut it down to a four-day workweek, with wednesdays a day off.

Speaking of 75 pounds, it took me a whole year to lose 85 pounds. I will preserve the weight, but given the difficulties on my diet, such as grain addictions, I would be suprized if I stay below 200 by the time I reach 30 years of age.

But Americans do need to talk to their boss to have the work cut down, given this research that extensive work hours can lead to weight gain, blindness, back pain, and more. Guess we should be gatherer hunters after all.

I am sure Fitness Magazine has a biased readership. The average American would gladly become overweight or obese if you paid them. In fact most of them do it for free now.

I dont find it traumatic that I have gained weight, what I find traumatic is people's reactions, why do they care? I would gained weight and have no full time job, and I am not dead. I am the same person I was before. I do not want to hang around or date anyone again that cares that much about what I weigh. If that is what really matters to some people more than anything else I feel sorry for them. Too shallow for me. Shallow people make me sick. Even when I was thin, I hated being around people that make nasty comments about over weight people. No one is perfect. Its not good for one's health, but its also not good for one's health to be so obsessed with what one looks like that they judge you by that rather than if you are a good person. I would rather be overweight and loved by someone that cares for me either way than be thin and be with someone that only cares about that. Its sick

I think being fat is a good experience.You can understand human nature when you are fat.I once lost weight and those who once swore at me for my weight became nice to me.People are really fickle.AND people say it is our fault to be fat.If it is our fault to be fat and if we are responsible for it,why do they care about our weight,mainly our appearance so much?Don't they have any problems?Why do they meddle?I can't understand this.Go and deal with your own problems. People won't change and I don't care.Fat people become obese because they are housebound.This is because of the society.So fat people go out.Don't be housebound.Don't care about what the society says if you don't wanna be a loser.gO OUT.THE WORLD ISNOT THEIRS.tHEY AREN'T THE OWNERS OF THE STREETS.gO OUT MOVE NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY.You need to walk.Human body needs to walk.bEİNG FAT İS BETTER THAN BEİNG OBESE.

You have to have a job in the first place to even think like that.
