The dumbest post ever in SSFA. [ Beyond Dieting (Long)

If you have a long history of dieting attempts and weight concerns, it can be very difficult to make the decision not to diet in a society that still assumes that diets are effective and that you are a failure if you can't succeed in losing weight. [snipped] Nice heads-up, Robin. Great post I find particularly interesting the notion that the pressure to diet helped contribute to the so-called obesity epidemic. The reason you're so damn stupid is because you and AJ and Robin all sit around and "wonder" about this **** and then it suddenly becomes fact without you idiots ever doing a simple google or library search to find out. You can find plenty of pretty direct articles in old "ladies home journal" type wife instruction manuals from the late 19th and early 20th centuries about women needing to keep their weight down and dieting. There was no obesity epidemic then. Men weren't really encouraged to diet at ALL. In fact, most men would have considered it shameful. Guess what? There wasn't any obesity epidemic among men either. A little common sense would have prevented that ridiculous thought from ever occurring to you. Is it possible most (if not all) "morbidly [sic] obese" people would be at a much lower, more stable weight if they'd never dieted at all? ROTFLMAO! Oh My F-ing God! alt.support.diet added I'm sorry, but I had to share this with the dieting folks if only so they could appreciate more being who they are and that they don't have this kind of attitude. Hopefully you found it amusing too. OH and Dumbass Valkyrie - explain all the obese kids today who have never dieted. Starting to see the light yet? I know that such an idea scares the anti-fats Did my peals of uncontrolled laughter seem like fear to you? Why would I be scared because your abyssmal denial is going to kill you? (and makes the diet industry pee its pants), but I think it's worth looking at. LOL! I personally nearly pee'd my pants reading what you just wrote. If the diet industry is doing the same, it's because of the comic value. Also, one statement that has haunted me since I first read it in some FA literature Only one? Most of it haunts me. is the following: Why is the regimen that is considered a sickness for the eating disordered the same one that is *prescribed* for the overweight/obese? It isn't. But I'm not surprised that you buy that FA lie as well. (I.e., counting calories, weighing in everyday, excessive exercising.) It doesn't make much sense, and if you've spent any time reading in any of the diet NGs, you'll see some frighteningly obsessive and unhealthy thinking and habits (as would be symptoms of an eating disordered person). She thinks morbidly obese people are ok and determined dieters are unhealthy and obsessive. Until this day, I really didn't believe that It was possible for an FA to be more deluded and ignorant than the ones I'd already encountered. I guess all you can do is laugh and shake your head.

True. Men were encouraged to be physically vigorous. |
