Consider joining a group that will support you in making healthy choices
and help you in getting off the multi-billion dollar diet industry
merry-go-round. 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.

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!

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.
