Good point.... but to post it under the category of "Theme parks and Strategies" now that was the bad point... hmmm maybe at the Community board.. or hmm the WISH DIS board.. like for an encouragement type a thing,.. I was just looking for tips and strategies when I stumble to this thread...

Exactly.....

Zeppo....this thread has absolutely no reason to be on a WDW TRIP PLANNING Forum for pity sake!!! That is what it says up there.... Trip Planning Forums > Theme Parks Attractions and Strategies ...I don't see a thing about health or debates in there...do any of you?!


There are hundreds of other forums out there in cyberland to discuss topics like this.....this is NOT the one!!!


I've tried to make my point.... twice now!!!...and given my advice...I hope you don't continue to debate this....they've done what they wanted to do if you do!!


y'all have a good night!

So is this what you would call a "heavy topic"????

I guess the OP would like all of the "fatties" to wallow in shame and not leave the house until they loose enough weight to be what she considers socially acceptible.

It's ok because we will be eating around the world in Epcot and having an amazing time while he stands alone bickering

MMMM....... You have me dreaming of root beer floats..... now I wish I had bought a bottle of Root Beer and a half gallon of ice cream instead of that WaWA Milkshake I got on the way home from work today

 

[Goobergal99]

Alright everyone lets take our gluttony stricken selves and venture over to the food porn thread so we can salivate over what we will be ordering on our future Disney trips!

Me and my family will be there with free dining in September, just eating our little hearts out. Best thing about my scrubs, the strings are adjustable

You are correct, this discussion doesn't belong on this board, however I also think that threads like the "DisneyWorld Snake" or many other Misc. threads hardly belong on the strategy board either. There is hardly any enforcement on what gets posted where or how many times the same thing can be posted, so saying that a discussion doesn't belong in a certain place is almost a moot point.

However, those threads are all good and fun...can't say the same about this one.

 

[TheZeppo]

So because a thread is "fun", it can be posted in a forum where it doesn't belong? But if it isn't "fun" then it shouldn't be posted? Why the double standard? It's the moderators responsibility to monitor junk threads or to move threads where they do belong and that rarely, if ever happens.

 

[HollisterSweetie]

While the OP does make some valid points, she seems to be trying to pity herself because her husband is gone "A LOT" . How do you have fun in life by planning out every meal down to the last calorie and working out the rest of the time?! You definately don't sound like you find it enjoyable. As a former gymnast and someone who played basketball(both i did because I LOVED to do them) throughout school I'm not in the least bit overweight and I do think some of your points did make sense however, they were completely thrown out by the tastelesness of the rest of the post. Perhaps you forgot muscle weighs more than fat. I'd much rather way 150+ pounds with muscle on me than be 110 and flabby JMHO. Are you trying to make people who are slightly overweight feel bad?? Does that make you feel better about yourself?? I do agree that the obesity epidemic is getting out of hand but if YOU want to do something about the weight of this country perhaps you should try doing something about it and not posting it on a message board where it will inevitably hurt people's feelings.

 

[aneternalwhisper]

mmmm Well now this is an interesting thread.......

But please think of it this way.....

A Pooh sized person can live to be eighty years old

and then on the other side of the fence a young person in PERFECT health could try and cross a street and get creamed by a bus.

I guess what I am trying to say is when it is your time it is your time.

It is all about having fun and making memories while you are here.


BTW I am a big girl and have no health probs stemming from it..... No high blood pressure or Cholestrol, anything the only problems I have are judgemental people. Get over yourself the only one you are making look bad is yourself.

 

[FreshTressa]

Just for the record, I'm not here to flame you.

However, this particular forum is about theme park attraction & strategies...not the debate on our nation's health. That said, there's something to be said about being compassionate, and while I think it's great you're dedicated to staying healthy, I also think it wouldn't hurt to also dedicate yourself to showing a little compassion for those who are not in your shoes.

Well said. I'd rather be pooh sized and die early than spend my time judging others.

There is a reason why people are overweight in this country, and it goes beyond personal willpower.

Even with our 'health crisis' people live longer than they did 100 yrs ago.

*sigh* well i was a thinner person before I was diagnosed with hashimotos and had to go on thyroid medication, effexor, and started birth control pills at the same time. And to say that I struggle with my weight is an understatement. It's my obsession, I think about it more hours of the day that I do anything else. I hate pictures of myself, I hate to see my reflection.

And I've done the gym membership, I've done the diets, I've taken the diet pills. And even still I know that if I eat my half a cup of special k in the morning, my tuna at lunch and my lean meat with raw spinich at dinner + walk 3 miles a day I may not lose a pound this week, or this month. But how does anyone else know that, maybe they think i'm eating twinkies and sitting on the coach all day, a lazy worthless blah blah blah....

It's not that easy for everyone. And it hurts emotionally, not to everyone, but for me.

Yes, and threads like this just add to the pain.

This thread IS on the CB right now, isn't it? Waaw. People on different boards are really... different. I read this thread, the OP and responses, and I think some of them are rather sad.
"I'm proud to be Pooh-sized"? I don't buy that. Not in a million years. I will buy that someone still has a nice life while being Pooh-sized (nice life meaning they have a nice family, job, not too many health problems, etc etc etc), but I don't believe anyone is "proud" of being overweighted.

Yea try explaning that one to your kids.... Sorry Hunny, we can't go to Disney this year because I have to pay for my gym membership and meals at Jenny Craig

As a matter of fact, in that case, IMO, you should choose for the healthier lifestyle. That doesn't have to be a gym mebership and Jenny Craig (whatever that is) meals. But yes, if you have to choose between a rat and your health, I think it's important that you choose for your health. Because you only have one life.
Next to that, there are other ways to enjoy life/ vacation that don't include Disney. Sometimes it's hard to imagine that, but it's possible :

As for the op good thing there is an ignore list

I am sorry you have a problem with those of use who don't mind the term Pooh Size. I to wish I was small but It is God's work why we are the size we are and not for anyone else to judge those who are different. I feel this should not even been posted and I appricate it if the moderator would remove this thread from the board.

 

[Piecey]

So.. I'm 19. I'm 5'7" and 190 pounds. (Ish)
I work two jobs and I'm a fulltime college student.

I don't have time to exercis or make a healthy meal.. and I can barely pay my tuition bill, much less come up with the money it takes to eat healthy in this day and age.

When I make time to eat on an average day, it's a .99 cent drive thru snack. Sometimes I do get the side salad, but considering I can't eat that while driving down the road.. It's pretty rare.

So.. I should quit one of my jobs, cut back on my hours at school and start exercising so that people like you won't judge me??

I work my pooh-sized **** off everyday of my life for the things that are important to me-- and I'm sorry that my goals differ from yours, but it doesn't make me any less of a person and it most certaintly doesn't mean I should have to come home in my free time and read stuff like this..

 

[marlasmom]

I also won't flame you, but this post comes across as incredibly judgemental and sanctimonious.

That says it all. ITA

Ash, this person isn't worth feeling bad about. And you might think about going to talk to someone. It isn't healty to feel the way you do. And you don't deserve to feel like that. I'm sorry if it sounds like a lecture, I don't mean it that way.

People who judge others based on their fat, hair, or clothes are just not all that bright (or all that nice) and don't deserve to have others worrying about what they think.

OP, will you please let me know why anyone should care what you think? Are you super-special just because you are mean?

I feel a lot sorrier for children of someone who has so much nastiness in them that they have to spew it out all over the internet than I do for kids who have moms who are fat, but nice, caring, decent people.
