Overweight Family Members/Friends
My 17 year old niece just stopped by to pick up a gift for her dads birthday, shes slightly overweight, but her girlfriend is obese.... at 18 years old, she's 5'2", well over 200lbs, and they come in with combo meals from McDonalds????? And they tear into that shit like they've never eaten before..... And I make the comment that it may be unhealthy to carry around that much weight, and Erin looks at me, the obese friend, and tells me "I'm a big gurl and damn proud of it" so my rebuttal was, "You tell me how proud you ARE, when you're dead from a heart attack at 28????? Then she starts crying and I feel like a piece of shit.... then Casie, my niece gets mad at me..... I don't think I'm cut out to be an uncle..... it just seems we have to sugarcoat everything we say nowadays????

dansta123buffalo bitch beat down..were they all walking dead zombie eating frenzy styles on them maccas?
fark your retort to husky friend sounds like some shit i would say..fuk em,they mite be joggin come the end of the week due to your tough love words
I think its great you told her.. man no one else has been telling her in that way I bet. Maybe it will shock her into doing something for herself...fucking McDonald's
have you seen that Documentary super size me... just watching it made me want to throw up'
Nasty81NateAll you can do is lead by example bro...those girls are to young to realize the consequences they'll suffer later in life from today's decisions.
JtizzleDamn OE , makin all the big girls cry... It's tough to keep your thoughts to yourself when you see things like that . Just try and avoid any more fam members from that lifestyle. If there are any kids in the family teach them good eating and exercise habits early on and show them how cool "Uncle OE" is with all his muscles
OE2000LMAO.... thanks tizzle just hard o see the young kids deteriorate like this..... and rely on fast food like its gold?????
My whole family is fat. My dad just died earlier this year at 62. I quit telling them what they already know; unless they want to make a change it's a waste of breath and time, not to mention they start to think you're an asshole (or more of an asshole, in my case).
As much as you want to lead them away from the lifestyle, just let it go. Life can be dreadfully short so make the most of the time you have.
OE2000Sorry for your loss bro, and thanks for the input!
the whole "i am big and proud" statement is such bull shit. I hear that shit all the time, but then when they like some guy and he wont date them they come asking me for advice, AND NEVER FUCKING USE IT!!!!! No one wants to be fat, they say they are proud cause deep inside they hate them selves, then they eat there feelings away. its a vicious cycle i know, but it barrels down to getting off your ass and hitting the gym. Most of the obese people out there could just cut out soda and sweets and work out 3 times a week and they would drop weight like nothing. there just lazy, i dont feel bad for people like that, i have offered FREE training a few times to people like that they come once and never come back.......
AnonFree never works darlin.. People have to have an investment in something and often it is a monetary one.
OE2000Damn bro, you're normally the "Voice of Reason" ..... this shit really gets under your skin, huh? Hey ME TOO! She broke down and told me shes on blood pressure meds...... Already, at 18 years old.... that made me want to kick her ass even more!!!! Dude, I'm still shaking cause I got so pissed off
ha ya i know bro, but YES that kinda shit pisses me off. The main reason i get so upset about it is cause when i was younger i was the "THE FAT KID" all through junior high then through ninth grade. Finally summer before sophmore year i was done being that kid, i fucking hit the gym hard lost alot of weight, then just continued on that path. Went into the Marines got in great shape and have just carried the mantality, "If you look good, you feel good, if you feel good, you act good, if you act good, good things come to you." I just wish people would atleast try, they bitch a moan about how "HARD" it is? well no shit, you think i leave the gym sweating and panting because i just got a massage? ha anyways now i am ranting, but yes this is a sore subject for me and i DONT sugar coat it when i talk to people. Tough love works better then anything in this kinda situation.
OE2000"If you look good, you feel good, if you feel good, you act good, if you act good, good things come to you."
Dude, that is excellent!!!! Gonna get this printed on some T-shirts and splitting the profits with ya! Shit, I'll go 60/40, just want a slice of the pie bro, thats all I need!
Anonwith teens it is difficult because they really get into the "that won't happen to me" way of thinking, but think about it, she's obviously got no support from at home. No education to make healthy choices about eating and quite frankly she probably doesn't feel like she is "sick" so why make behavioral changes when she just doesn't see the benefits. Also, it IS hard to keep going when results just don't come very quickly. I don't think you did the wrong thing necessarily. Someone has to tell the truth and it looks like you are that guy...
AnonOne minute she is cocky the next she crying. I wouldn't feel bad but would also tell her she needs some meds for her mental state.
Don't get me started on this sugarcoated generation of whiners breeding like rats!
AnonI just want to add this: had she been eating a salad and you pulled her up on not trying hard enough you'd be a piece of shit yea.
OE2000I hear ya bro.... thanks for not telling me I am the worst son of a bitch in the world. But, I noticed she was struggling walking up the steps, and theres only 5 total. Then, while sitting on the couch, she was wheezing and having trouble breathing.. thats when I made my comments about her losing some weight. I've known her for about 5 years, and she keeps getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger.... and Im expecting that phone call from dad, I'm praying he don't show wanting to kick my ass.... gonna go lock the doors now...LOL
