jefequeso: I believe she was using that to mock the wording that AA used.

JudasIscariot: Did they use that word in the letter to her? I highly doubt a company is going to send a letter with the company letterhead containing that atrocity of a word.
I actually think they did use language similar to that (it may have been "bootylicious"). She has their letter ion her blog somewhere, and they talk about it.

JudasIscariot: Do they just start shoveling food down their mouths like Garfield or something??

"Gotta bulk up so no other woman tries to take my man away!"
We were both very sedentary and she did eat a lot, yes. Neither of us was motivating the other to make a change. The only reason I didn't gain a lot of weight was because I was already a fatty, lol.

Anyway, it's something I really need to focus on next relationship, getting with someone who can help motivate me and is already motivated. I am not someone who can motivate others to go out and do things, as I am pretty introverted and more important have some health issues.

JudasIscariot: Define a "ton of weight". Are we talking 50 lbs.? I did have one woman gain some weight when we were together but that was more due to alcohol...
avatar
StingingVelvet: Yeah, like 50 pounds.
Personally, I'd define a ton of weight as 2000 pounds. But then, I like precision in language.

when my ex gf lost weight, she tended to lose it in her chest and hips (luckily her hips were already pretty...roomy). It always made me :(

Okay :-)

But seriously, if someone you're with gains a ton of weight, there are very serious things to worry about...

Like getting a construction permit to move her from the bedroom to the living room.
Americans do love their fast food.
I had a friend visit from the US a while back, she had gained a ton of weight (30 pounds maybe...I'm not that good with the imperial system) since the last time I saw her. In the US she would have been considered overweight, but just about average, here she was easily the biggest person...and we are the second fattest nation. I should point out that her visit was the first time I ate McDonalds in about 5 years, and that was only because she thought the chip shops looked dirty.
That said, I really didn't get the article. Maybe it's a Yankee thing.

Or just turn the bedroom into a living room/bedroom combo...

I think its like

"Well I gotta look really sexy to hook a guy, I better watch my weight"

then

"Fuck it, I got him, time to settle down and eat"

lol

In my ex gf case it was because of birth control i think...that shit mimicks pregnancy so not good for staying skinny I guess

I dated a ukrainian girl for a while after that and she actually lost weight when we were together. She called my ex a "fatass american"..lol ohh college girls gotta love em

I'm with a Polish girl now and she's skinny, normal skinny not Skeletor, and she gets paranoid if she gains an ounce :D.

BlazeKING: Size 12 isn't bad by itself. But then you get married and that size doubles or triples. If you don't care thats cool you are an awesome guy but if you are like 99% of the rest of the males on this planet, you are going to care lol.

For me, I want my woman to be healthy. I'd feel bad seeing her stuffing her face all day with diabetes puffs, heart disease flakes and cancer rolls.

And i'm sure the ladies would agree they would hate seeing their man losing control and gobbling up food all day.

But we also have to realize that a lot of this weight gain isn't because of self control issues, stress or metabolic syndrome (although that constitutes a good portion)..a good % of it can be directly attributed to birth control pills, antidepressants, other drugs etc , corn sugar subsidies that makes bad food cheap for people. Some say it can be genetics or a disease but I think thats BS.

Super skinny is fugly too btw and if you are skeletal you can die. Some of these dudes that are like 6 3 and 120 pounds..scary lol almost want to give them some big macs.
see, this is why it's good to already be attracted to larger women. Whenever I get married and my wife gains pounds...I'm cool with that :3
My gf is a lil' bit rounded, but I like it. Even though I am skinny, I don't prefer skinny girls.
