Best excuse I ever heard for not loosing weight...

[Puddles]

I was at work today and one of the women came over to talk to me for a bit. She's a very sweet woman but she's also about 100 lbs overweight and barely 5' tall, she looks like a weeble. She's got the kind of fat that makes her second chin about the size of another head. Anyway she makes this comment about why she never wants to loose weight...she says she doesn't want to loose weight because she will get wrinkles and she points to her eyes and how she's got no crows feet. She says people are always amazed when she says how old she really is. She's not much older than me btw.

I'm thinking to myself, no, you've got no wrinkles unless you count the big ones made by the rolls of fat everywhere.

I like this woman, she's sweet, but c'mon, this is why you don't want to loose weight? Does she not realize that her heart is overstressed living like this and at the rate she's going she won't live long enough to get wrinkles?

Tell her if she eats one more krispy kreme donut then she'll explode into a pile of pilsbury dough boy goo :rofl:

Seriously tell her that she is:

A.Risking her health by being overweight
B.That being fat and having fat is unattractive and ugly
C.That'll she will have a host of problems like heart disease,cancer,diabetes,etc

Tell her that losing weight is not easy but if she sticks with it she'll feel better in the long run.

all true bro, especailly with diabetes, all diseases are bad though. I like trying to help people out alot, in advice and all.

Your right, it will not be easy but working on it, only hard work and time will tell. If she sticks to it and all, the diet is good, good amount of cardio, she can do it. She will even be able to wear stuff she always wished she wore.

That's pure laziness, those types of people make me sick. She'll be looking for another excuse when this one gets old.

Haha, I would have been like, "mame, if you dont get out of my face right now im going to kick you in your fat saggy ass". :P

[dreamgirl]

I'm 5'2" and I HATE even being 144lbs... what I am right now!!! It's crummy not being able to wear cute clothes!

I agree it's just plain lazy and overeating and eating junk. That woman at your work could probably loose weight so easy if she just ate a little better.

[meat12]

Some people just give up on themselves I guess...why I'll never understand.

[Puddles]

I would try to help her if she wanted help but she honestly doesn't want any. She is happy just the way she is. I mainly feel bad for her little girl though who will surely loose her mother before she should. This woman is always cheerful and smiling, she just doesn't realize the danger she's in. She even commented about how good her cholesterol is and how her husband loves her just the way she is. Some people just don't get it! Even if she just lost 50 lbs she'd add 10 yrs. to her life.

I guess people don't like change if they feel there is no need. :(

My sister is 5 foot 150...and it's NOT muscle. My mother has now wasted 2 gym fees for the past 2 summers. My husband gave her a diet, I've tried to help her and take her to the gym with me. She has put on over 20 lbs in 1 year.

Here inlies the problem, just like BC said...If they don't care, there is nothing you can do to help them. They will ask for help when they want it. Right now, at 20 years old, she is on the verge of being obese. She is utterly disgusting, and could be so adorable if she just lost 20 lbs. She complains about attracting these deadbeat wacky guys, but yet she does nothing to attract the winners. Several people have said they don't recognize her when they saw her 6 months ago.

She has 2 years of college left, and when she gets finished, she's going to be way fatter than she is now, and there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about it until she is ready. If she waits too much longer, she will have reached the point where it's too overwhelming to think about, and the goal is too far down the road.

If she was really happy with her weight do you think she would be talking about it?

Who the hell talks about their fat when their bulking?

Well, this is probably a result of what she sees me eating. LOL She caught me walking to the trash to throw out a can of sardines and a can of asparagus which I've come to love and would eat no matter what. Then there was the phone call from her husband and she gives him a few directions on how to start dinner...something very tastey I'm sure but certainly not healthy.

And I do know that many people just aren't concerned with their weight in the way that affects their appearance. I really believe she is happy just as she is. But geez...how can you not care about your health? I'm not saying everyone has to be the epittomy of health but to be 100 lbs overweight and to be completely dillusional about it?
