BIG FAT PEOPLE!

  • Popular Post

Did I get your attention??? :P

Ok, curiosity... when I answer posts here, I am always coming from a perspective of a "food addict"

But many times I have people write back...

"But I don't have an addiction to food"

Which I always think to myself YEAH RIGHT!

Don't beat me up I'm being honest!!

What can I say I'm pessimistic, I also laugh when people say they don't eat TO MUCH so they don't understand how the are fat.. I AM FAT BECAUSE I EAT LIKE A PIG (alone mostly)

Today I thought about, "what if I'm wrong?"

I mean...I am me and I am addicted, how do I know how the next person is???

I'm curious as an addicted fat person how is it for those of you who are not addicted?

Oh and on a side note if I am wrong, then I'm also jealous because I would give anything not to have this problem (addiction)

    If they aren't addicted why do they allow it to happen? If you didnt eat too much or the wrong things and youre aware you are getting fat.. Why not just stop? If you lost all your weight why turn back

Please also take into consideration that some overweight people are not so much an addict as their bodies crave more food for energy as it takes more food to support. Cycle effect more weight more food more weight.

I ate small to normal unhealthy foods with a pint of phish food or half the pint every night. Never a huge gorger just regular unhealthy and semi fast food. Pizza, souvlaki, hamburgers etc. thats how I rolled and " rolled"ol

I was def an addict to carbs and sugar.

I'm absolutely positive. I've received an email from her and she was trying to get fraudulent funds from me. I don't like it when people try to deceive me this way......So she is a troll :angry:

Oh and I have reported her to the board......

Oh she was trying to smooze me on LBT!

But on that note I'm still curious about the

People that say they don't have addictions to food,

And are fat (and not because of medical problems) and are getting this surgery.

I'm with you. It's baffling to me to think that those who "don't eat much" and have "medical problems" will have much success with this surgery. This procedure limits your intake, it doesn't solve any other issue. How can this WLS suddenly be a miracle fix to thyroid problems or PCOS if you are already eating the right things in the right quantity.

Or, if it works for the first 6 months or so, will all the weight be gained back once your stomach is healed and you can ingest more than a few ounces?

I thought about that the other day ( a touchy subject so I tread lightly here)

If someone comes into this surgery and eats hardly anything how would making the stomach smaller help???

But yet I see it again and again here, people that don't eat much and eat healthy get the surgery and drop huge amounts of weight!!

Riddle me this???

Scientific explanations anyone?
