Is it just me?
When you're out in the world...and you see a seriously over-weight
person....is it all you can do to NOT run over to them and say, "Hey! Have you heard about the Atkins diet?" LassChance Start LC~5-16-05 202-188-165 |

I know what you mean. What really gets me are co-workers that try to
shove donuts and brithday cake down your throat. Their reasoning is "I won't hurt". Geez, it's very frustrating. I'm a diabetic and would never consider messing up my perfect control with a donut. http://www.livinlowcarb.com |

Unless they ask, people don't need or want to be told they're fat, or that they smoke, or have any other bad habits. They already know and will do something about it when they are ready.

I'll bet you want to choke slam them with a forklift instead.

I feel sad. I do talk about low carb and gastric bypass if someone
approaches me or the subject comes up. I still think like a 410 pound person except there was one instance just Tuesday that I forgot. My name is published in the local paper every other Sunday before a weightloss surgery support group on Tuesday as I am the outreach Coordinator and people can call me for info on where we meet. Anyway a couple weeks ago a lady that is considering the surgery called me and asked for ride to the meeting. I called her Tues afternoon to reconfirm. I own a Yukon, Gram left me an absolute pristine Pontiac Grand Am with 29 thousand original miles, and I have a Chevy Pick Up. I sat and looked at the Gran Am for 6 months unable to get in it to drive it. A bit over a month ago I decided to at least detail it, well low and behold I fit behind the steering wheel with room to spare!!!I have been driving it since. So... back to the story. I tell her "I'll pick you up at 6:15, I drive a little blue car" She said " How little is it?" OMG I was so embarrassed I just said " Ok I will pick you up in my Yukon" Turned out even that was a problem. She was short, 430 pounds and had arthritis in her knee so she could barely get her leg in so I got real close to the curb so she was up higher to step in. If I had brought the Grand Am she would have never been able to get up and out. Poor Thing. I wasnt digusted, I felt bad for her as I know what she is going through because I was near her weight 5 months ago. I find myself very compassionate about the plight of super obese people now and more than willing to help in anyway I can Laureen 410/291/180 http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/freaki...hJ9gCBLmL1VUob Lass Chance wrote: When you're out in the world...and you see a seriously over-weight person....is it all you can do to NOT run over to them and say, "Hey!

I've discussed it with a couple of the 300 lb. plus nurses at work. They tried it and just can't bring themselves to give up starches such as pasta and bread. Some people just can't help themselves! you spelled "won't" wrong... sigh -- Om. "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch." -Jack Nicholson |
