Obesity, Motivation

Today I stumbled across a blog post by a woman who was upset because someone called her fat. It reminded me of my post a few weeks ago regarding a woman who "fired her doctor" because it was suggested that she lose weight for her health. It is a very long post that I do not want to copy and paste here. This is what a friend had to say after reading the post and I think it sums it up best:

"This is a bunch of fat women complaining that people are calling them fat. She got pissed off when someone, saying something not even related to her, expressed the belief that fat people were unhealthy. People commenting on this post are talking about how they stopped going to their doctors because the doctors told them they had to watch their weight. They are saying that these comments are "fat-shame" and that they are tired of being "fat-shamed." As someone who was fat, and is still fat, those people piss me the hell off. No one wants to see their fatness. But they want to be treated like the disabled or the physically deformed. They're victims. I'll admit that some of their stories are of people who are just jackasses going up to them and calling them fat, but the thing of it is THEY ARE FAT. It is a fact. And every one of them that says they can't do anything about their fatness deserves to burn. I went from 300 to 220 in four months. Anyone can do it. There's no it's in my genes or no diet works for me about it. Fat people complaining about fat acceptance makes me rage. It makes me want to get as far away from being fat as possible."

Here is a screen cap of some particularly funny comments, as I didn't want to link to her blog directly:

Kewick Diet, Thinspo, Goals

I added a new diet to the diet page. I gave this one a shot myself and it was pretty successful. If you want to try something that's short and sweet I'd suggest that you try it.

You may eat only 1,000 calories per day and they must be 90% fat. You may only drink water. This list is an example of very high fat foods.

Nuts / Seeds / Legumes: Macadamia, pecans, coconut, pine, walnuts, hazelnuts, sesame, sunflower, peanut.

Meat: Mackerel, duck, goose, fatty tuna, beef ribs, ground beef (70% lean / 30% fat), filet mignon, cured pork, dehydrated pork, bacon, ham, veal, beef jerky, egg yolks.

Sweets: dark chocolate (80% or higher.)

Condiments: Butter, heavy whipping cream, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, lard, vegetable oil, corn oil.

I want to hit my lowest weight by June so I'm trying to stay at 800 calories or less per day. It's a light amount of restriction that I think I can easily maintain for a few months. I found some wonderfully delicious Progresso soups that are only 60 calories per serving.

I was tagged as a versatile blogger by this lovely lady and I'm filling this out in response.

Seven Things About Me...

1: I am moving to Japan for work in the distant future.
2: My only legitimate fear is the plague.
3: I have a false Sprite can on my desk that I keep bullet casings in.



4: I dislike Disneyland (as a theme park - I don't find it to be fun or enjoyable.)
5: Maybe it's because I worked there as a character for nearly a year in high-school.
6: I am asexual.
7: I have never had a cigarette, intercourse, illegal drug, or alcoholic beverage in my life.

Here's some before and after thinspiration. I know I could use it!
