Ahh yes…truly spoken like someone who has never dealt with obesity and weight issues.

For what it’s worth folks, it’s not cheap, it’s not easy, but it is about choice and it will be a battle of will every day of someone’s life. Pretty sure I can speak from experience here— I have spent the last four years taking off 170lbs through diet and exercise.



You don't know what I am. Any fat person who has lost weight will tell you it was simple once they overcome putting the fork down and got used to hunger pains until their stomach gets small enough.

But sure, let's just inject ourselves with experimental drugs instead of working out because it's easier. (it's not, you will die anyway)

Food is cheap, that's the problem, even healthy food is cheap, not the whole food shit, but the boring stuff.

Cook your own food, eat only once or twice until your stomach is small, you get used to it.

Getting a shot is not going to help any fat fuck fight covid.


I am a fat person who has lost weight. Lots and lots of weight—170lbs over 4 years. 460+ to currently 290. So let’s just say I know for a fact that the phrase: “any fat person will tell you it was simple” is complete BS. This fat person would never ever say that. So your comment is false just by my example. I know quite a few people with similar stories to my own. I know for a fact they wouldn’t make that comment either, simply because when folks who have lost large amounts talk about their weight loss journey, we talk specifically about how difficult it is.

But you are right, I don’t know what you are, but I can deduce a few things from your comments with enough certainty that given the opportunity to bet on it, I would. I am certain that you were never obese and never lost a significant amount of weight because you have zero perspective on how easy or hard it is just from the statement you made. Also, the term “fat fuck” you used also gives you away. You see, every fat person I know who has lost significant weight doesn’t make comments like that, because it’s pretty damned offensive. Like nearly n-word offensive to overweight people. See, we tend to be hyper sympathetic to people struggling to lose weight…because we know how truly hard it is—-both being obese and losing weight too.

Additionally, I suspect that you are probably pretty young (also because of the “fat fuck” comment). I suspect likely a teenager and certainly young enough that someone else buys and prepares the food you eat, probably a parent. No one who buys food 2021 would characterize healthy food as “cheap”. It ain’t.

Thank you for your opinion and advice, and I hope should you ever gain weight and need to lose it, I hope it works for you as easily as you claim it to me.
