silverthorneSeriously, it makes me laugh.
Yesterday: the Eagle DJs are all over the whole over-weight thing, spouting the usual 'fat people are just lazy', 'fat people have no self control', 'fat people eat junk food', 'it's okay to tell your SO they're too fat and if they don't lose weight, then it's over', etc.
You know, all the stereotypical BS, that of course gets back-pedaled on when someone goes 'well, what about medical problems? What about mental conditions? What about genetic factors?'.
Still, the bottom line was 'fat people need to lose weight!' (and that includes most folks who are a mere 10 pounds overweight, or have a BMI over...god, I think it was 20...when BMI is NOT the best indicator of fat in a body).
So anyhow, this morning, I turn the radio on again, and this time, guess what? They're bitching about their wives cooking healthy food, and making subs in foods like lasagna so that it's better and low fat and low sodium and the like. And of course, one of them is pissed off because the wife has gone vegan in an effort to...guess what?
Lose Weight
I have only one thing to say (and listen up, boys; this is important).
You cannot have it both ways..
Make up your fucking minds, chose one, and shut the fuck up. Want a skinny wife? Put up with what she does to get herself (and probably you) that way.
Or leave her the fuck alone about the weight.
