As some of you know I am a fat activist. There are over 100 Fat Acceptance blogs and there are a few anti fat acceptance blogs. My Fat Spouse is one of them. http://www.myfatspouse.com/ They are the bane of us obesity promoters. I don't really have a problem with them because as offensive as I may find them, they are very honest. They are brutally honest.

They help couples resolve problems when one spouse is fat and the thin spouse has a problem with that. They are anti-obesity but I maintain a pleasant truce with them. They offer weight loss advice although it is not a weight loss site. It is a support site for couples.

I would be interested in know what dieters opinions are of http://www.myfatspouse.com/. My wife got tired of being with me because I was so fat. She's a nurse. She told me that she could no longer deal with my obesity and said she refused to stay married to a cardiac cripple. I see her point. We just grew apart. She wanted a size typical man.

LOL... Ok I refuse to get all worked up again. Geeezzz, I went to the site and read a little bit (and I mean a little bit).

I have got to say, I totally disagree with most of it. My husband and I have been together for 19 years, and I don't really see how being fat or thin has anything to do with our marriage. Yeah! I won't lie, it does play a part in it. But, not so much about how we see each other. It's more about being jealous and feeling confident in one self.

I guess I am old schooled and think you either love someone or you don't. How can you fall out of love with someone cause they are fat. I don't get that. Just like I don't understand how anyone can leave someone cause of some petty thing. Marriage is something you have to work at everyday (very hard at times, I might add). But, my point is that to many people now a days look for reasons to end a relationship. Maybe is because both me and my husband grew up in a family where our parents are still married, I don't know. We both feel very strongly about staying together and working the problems out. Not just saying "oh your to fat, or you work to many hours" wannnnnn- get over it. Life isn't easy and neither is marriage.

The other funny thing I find myself thinking is that I don't even notice how big or small my husband is. He looks the same to me as the day I met him. lol, odd huh, considering he is different in looks. He has grey hair now, and is larger then he use to be. But, I don't see that when I look at him. I just see my husband the guy I married.

 I found the part about sex with a overweight spouses pretty funny also. Without getting graphic or anything. Lets just say there is nothing wrong with my hubby's big belly, and nothing about it that grosses me out when having sex. If he is parading around naked in front of me. I am not thinking "ewww" I am thinking, yeah, get over here....:devil: lol.

So, I guess that, if these peoples spouses our leaving them cause they are fat, then there has got to be more going on, or not going on in their relationships. For it to come down to something so petty, then there wasn't much there to begin with.

In my marriage it was a matter of love. I loved food more than her. There are not a whole lot of women who would want a lummox like me on top of them sweating and grunting. I don't blame her.

Being 30 pounds over weight is one thing. I am 250 pounds overweight.  Men are able to have sex with fat women. When you get to my size the only way you can is with the woman on top  and even then there is so much fat that it usually does not work. Then you have the issue of diabetes and stamina.

When you get to my size...I don't mean to be indelicate, but there are hygiene issues. We are often stinky. I need a butt wand to reach "back there".
Ample-Sponges
These thirsty bad boys sop it where you need it most!

It ain't pretty being fat. You have to take the good with the bad. The good is the food the glorious food. The bad is the health, hygiene and mobility issues. Food usually trumps the others.

I respect My Fat Spouse. I just disagree with them.

That is a great question.  The people who change their gluttonous ways want to change. The ones who don't don't. I want to remain a glutton like most people. If and when I end my gluttony and lose weight it will be because I want to and not because someone else wants me too or because I think being fat and gluttonous is wrong.

My Fat Spouse sees gluttony as a moral failing. I see it as an acceptable life style as do most Americans. Obesity and gluttony are the new normal.

BFB, Well see, they said it right there.....they love food more then their spouse.

What more can I say. I would not take back seat to anyone or anything. Most people looking for love wouldn't... Yeah! I can stand back for awhile, but not indefinitly.

I don't even know what to say. If you don't love them, then how can you expect the person to put up with your flaws.. (meaning fat). I wouldn't put up with a jerk, if I knew he didn't love me...

I'm glad you've found what makes you happy, I guess you're much like a drug addict, eventually your obsession will kill you.  You probably don't care, but I feel obligated to share my viewpoint with you.  I love my life, I love living, and for that reason I choose to try and make myself live as long as possible.  Being a healthy weight is very important for my health and therefore I choose to acheive a healthy weight.  You only get one life.  One time around, that's it.  When it's over they close the coffin and that's it, whatever you choose to believe, even if it's in reincarnation, you will never be "you" again.  I sincerely hope food is what you want your life's acheivement to be.  I want my life's achievement to be a long and healthy life spent with my family whom I love.

OMG, I don't get this at all! You'd rather eat food than have any good sex??? No, not even that, you'd rather eat a ton of food, than have any sex at all. Food is supposed to be you fuel to go live your life... doesn't sound like you're really living.

Something has to kill you. It might as well be something you like right? Obviously you are an exceptionally nice lady. Your motives are pure and noble. Most people are not like you.  I'm not so nice.  My motives are like most Americans. They are degenerate and ignoble. You are taking the tough path and I am taking the easy one.


Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. And remember: 'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride'


Here is an article I wrote.



Now that America is proudly the FATTEST NATION ON EARTH it is time that we celebrate this wonderful milestone. With BBWs unapologetically flaunting their super sized bodies all over the net we can enthusiastically say that the age of the fatty is here. We have arrived!

There is a lot of dishonest moralizing about the sin of gluttony but the time has come for some real honesty. We fat folks love food. We love food more than just about anything else and why shouldn't we? Food does not judge. Food does not ignore our pleas. Food makes us feel good. Food is our friend.

Embrace gluttony. Gluttony is our religion that brings us near to the belly god we call Food. Praise Food glorious glorious glorious FOOD!

Like most morbidly obese men I couldn't get it up if I had a crane. What woman in her right mind would want some big lummox like me.

Food beats sex hands down. Food does not judge. Food doesn't get pregnant. Food does not cheat on you. Food won't  ignore your pleas. Food won't fight with you. Food does not get PMS. Food will not die and leave you lonely.

I like being fat. I may be repulsive to some people but I don't care. I'm happy gormandizing and that is all the matters.

BFB, There is no reason not to love food.....there are many foods in the world that are not bad for us.... I don't see any reason in killing yourself for a hamburger. Get over it....move on..make a better person out of yourself. yeah...it sucks and it's not easy....but really, it comes down to being healthy and living or not...you make the choice for yourself...

Personally... I chose to live...and really when are these people going to go away and not come on our website anymore......IT'S REALLY PI.... ING ME OFF!!!

You know something does have to kill you, that's the absolute truth.  How many people have you watched die?  How many people have you seen stop breathing?  Have you ever seen someone do chest compressions on someone?  Watching someone die really helps you put a little perspective on life.

People die all the time. The greedy and gluttonous USA kills people all the time so we can drive our SUVs.

I have seen death.

I know that if I were a decent human being I would behave responsibly and not be such an eat beast but I am like most other Americans except that I am honest about it.

According to the Bible Gluttony is a sin but we all know that the Bible is #%@&! and its god is an evil despot so it only goes to follow that anything that goes against the demented Christian god has to be a good thing and what is better than food? Food is OUR god therefore our love for food and enjoyment of it is simply us behaving in a godly manner. When someone like the government or some diet promoter starts issuing diet they would be in effect committing an act of religious persecution. In the case of the government it would be a violation of several constitutionally protected rights.

Oh man, those butt wands are too much!

That remind me of the Bart Simpson fantasy he has in the episode where Homer purposefully gains a bunch of weight in order to get on disability for hyperobesity.  Bart says "when I grow up, I want to be a lardo on workman's comp, just like Dad"

and then it flashes to his fantasy of an older, MUCH fatter Bart, lying in bed holding up one of those butt-wands saying

"I wash myself with a rag on a stick."

 

LOL

 

That is one of my favorite episodes AND one of my favorite scenes...

Many of us require butt wands and potable bidets for our toileting needs. There is also a super sized toilet for us.

Butt wand?  Wow, I learned a new term today!  It is a sad day when a man picks food over sex with his own wife!  There is a lot more going on than an eating disability with this guy.

So BFB you never anwsered my question of why you come here??? I honestly could care less  about your ways and how you choose to slowly kill yourself. Go find a different site to stir the pot on . To your  comment of "You are taking the tough path and I am taking the easy one" . I say it is cause you are weak your to food. Food has more power than you and that is truly sad. So therefore our tough paths make us stronger to your easy weak path. Also you say I will losse weight when I want to.... Well I'm willing to bet when you want to it will  probally be because something life threating happened

You know Hellrazor I totally agree with you. Why would someone want to come on a diet forum and talk a bunch #%@&! that none of us really care about.

Gluttony Bible- come on! That don't even make sense. Pretty much nothing you say make any sense. You say one thing in one sentence and then you turn right around and say the opposite. I really don't know how anyone can relate to you or have opinion on what you say. Because no one here knows what you are even saying.

Which is why I think everything that comes out of your mouth is a bunch of #%@&!.

You keep talking about being a glutton and how that is your choice. Well, fine! WHO CARES!

I could care less if that's how you want to spend your life. I'm just really not up for reading about it everyday on a forum that I come to for support in losing weight.

You know that just make me :angry: that you come on here and mock us all.

I just don't get it. If you are happy being how you are, then why do you need to come on here and look for approval. That is no different then an alcoholic coming on here and asking permission to drink. And if you have this great website with all this #%@&! that you believe in, then why are you here! The only thing I can think of is you either are making money off of doing this or you just like to cause trouble.

Anyway, regardless of your beliefs or reasoning for doing this. I for one am not wasting anymore of my time on any of your post. It is pointless, cause you have nothing to say that I want to hear. And I doubt anyone else on here does either.

Dude,

There are things "WORSE THAN DEATH"...

Extreme obisity can accelerate those happening

Imagine being:
  • Bed bound
  • Unable to speak
  • Unable to move
  • Unable to think coherently
This is sometimes the consequence of stroke, I know from personal experience,

I was one of the "Lucky Ones"

I hope you get some help.

I hear ya but I would remind you that million of Americans choose food over health. I consider myself one of the lucky ones. Unlike everyone here I am embracing the fat and not fighting it. We are all going to die from something. I am going to die from hedonism. I would rather die from that than cancer..

Because I am fat I get extra special medical care. I am not going to suffer. If I am in pain there is morphine. In the meantime I am pigging out.:pig:

I think I am the logical one here. We are born and from that moment on we start the dying process. For most people everything in between if not all that good.  I'll tell you what is good, Godiva Chocolate, Hardee's thick burgers, IHOP, Pizza, French Fries, Ben and Jerry's, Krispy Kreme, Doritos and dip ect..

Vegetables are what food eats.:chewing:

Wait a minute. You have responded more to this thread than anyone. For someone who thinks I am full of #%@&! you sure have a lot to say.

I am offering an alternative to diet drudgery and failure. How many successful dieters are there? I'll tell you. It's 2%. Anyone can be a glutton. It's easy. I am not telling anyone to diet if that is what they really want. Only 2% of people really want that.

If you want to be skinny and eat rabbit food the rest of your life then go for it. I hope you succeed. You will succeed if you want it badly enough. I am going to challenge you. Convince me you want this is what you really want because I am not convinced. I don't believe anyone here.

If I really wanted to I could lose weight and keep it off and maybe extend my life by 3 or 4 years. Tell me why that would be worth it. Why should I behave responsibly when it comes to food? What's in it for me?

I must say Coach, it sounds like you maybe on of the 2% who actually lose weight and keeps it off. Your reasons sound very unselfish noble but I am like most Americans I am selfish and ignoble. Like most Americans I could give a rat's a$$ about the effects my gluttony has on others.

I am not killing myself I am having an abundant life from the simple pleasures of food. I have rejected a cruel, judgmental and punitive god for one that never lets me down. Food is my God. Praise FOOD Glorious Glorious FOOD! I am living the American Dream. McCain 08!

That is sooooooooooooooooooo typical. You tell me I need help then you tell me to F off. That is not very Christian of you....well maybe it is. The truth is you know I am right. If you really thought I was in need of help you would be kind.

I for one have not failed.  I've lost around 50 pounds and greatly reduced the pain in my knees!  Some failure!  Plus I can walk up many fights of stairs, spend the day at an amusement park with my family, and bend over to tie my shoes without becoming short of breath.  Failure?  Who's the failure here?

Hold on a minute. What is wrong with "sitting on our asses stuffing our faces?" That is the lifestyle of most Americans. I am not going to sit here and allow some self righteous judgmental type insult America. America is by far and away the fattest nation on earth and I for one am darn proud of that achievement. USA USA!

I have a scooter so why should I worry about my joints?

I have free diabetic meds so why should I worry about diet?

I have an elevator in my building so why should I worry about stairs?

I wear loafers so why should I worry about tying my shoes?

I enjoy amusement parks. Disneyland is very accomodating and the food there is outstanding!

Odds are you will put all the weight back on and then some. Then we will see who the failure is. I am a successful fat guy.

Hmmm....let's see...There's nothing "wrong" with sitting on your #%@&! stuffing your face.  BUT it is simply silly to offer that as an "alternative" to trying to be fit and healthy.  It's not an alternative, it's the easy lazy man route.  Yes it is an American's right to sit and stuff his face, BUT it is also an American's right to be fit and healthy.  USA USA

If you feel like you are being judged for being fat then that is your problem.  You brought it on yourself by coming here.  YOU came here judging us.  We don't sit around here isulting fat people because we all were or are fat!  You and your free (taxpayer funded probably) diabetic supplies, and your scooter are a burden on society.  It's one thing to have a disease and need help and another thing to be fat on purpose and need help.  No one HAS to be fat.

I have maintained my weight loss for over 3 years and still going.  So the chances I'll regain it are minimal.  I enjoy exercise.  It makes me happy and feel good.  If you are so in love with your fat body and your fat dependent life then why come here to where we are trying to better our health?  Not only are you fat, but you are kinda sick too!

See here is where you are wrong bfb  . You say "I am a successful fat guy." and the correct is anwser is you won't be for long. Sure take pride in what you believe in I'm all for that but don't come to a place to knock other people and then get mad when someone knocks you. Also sounds real funny when you call it rabbit food that we are eating but most of us thought that when we were large. Until till you actually trying losing you weight you won't know what real food is. I also think it is funny since you still won't even address my original question of WHY DO YOU COME HERE ANYWAY

I am fat and I am mean. I don't eat no Lean Cuisine.

I am am not judging anyone here. I wish you all well. I AM trying to understrand the diet rationale when gluttony is sooo much easier and fun.

I came here to let people know that wehn they fail to lose weight and keep it off they are not failures. I am letting people know that the typical American gluttonous lifestyle is a good life style. I am NOT saying the fit lifestyle is bad. I am saying it is not right for most American people. If it were then most Americans would not be fat.

There is no need to insult my mental health and by proxy the mental health of all fat people who admit and embrace their gluttony. In fact fat people have higher self esteem than skinny people.

Here is proof:

[size=The Myth Of Low Self Esteem In Overweight People]
By Roberta Temes, PhD

Did you know that the idea of a fat person having low self esteem is a myth? Humans come in various shapes and sizes. Every psychological test given to overweight people indicates that if you are fat you are as mentally healthy, or unhealthy, as anyone in the general population. There is nothing about overeating that is associated with poor emotional health. In fact, it is possible that obese people are emotionally stronger than slim people
because many slim folks who were interviewed said they'd stay at home if they were obese.. they would not have the psychological fortitude to be seen in public if they were heavy.



There was a time, right here in the USA, when only the most successful folks were heavy and everyone else tried to emulate them. Large bodies were proof of robust health and substantial wealth. But, in America in the 21st century fat is out, thin is in.

Obesity is [size=not]
a psychological disorder. Obesity is not an eating disorder. Fat people have a genetic predisposition to gain weight and if they wish to conform to today's ideal of slimness and if they want to maintain good health, they must counteract their inborn biological impulses. This is possible. Difficult, but possible. Particularly possible if you have a diet buddy or buddies.

Our genes may give us the capacity and tendency to eat much and gain much, but it is our environment, our habits, that permit the tendency to flourish. Thankfully, we can change our environment and thus fool Mother Nature. You can be a slim person, after all. You can counteract your inborn biologic capacity.

Dr. Jules Hirsch, the famous obesity researcher at Rockefeller University, says that obesity should be treated as a chronic disease for which there is no cure but for which there are management techniques. And those techniques do work. But, it's up to you to apply them every day.

You override your genetic destiny when you eat when you are not hungry or when you eat only low-calorie foods when you are hungry. It's the gene that opens your mouth that is responsible for overeating.

How do you want to manage your weight? You can do it, you know. You can go for surgery and staple your stomach. You can go to a diet doctor and get lots of pills. You can stop eating solids and go on a liquid diet. You can get group support via the Internet. You can lessen urges by acupressure, acupuncture, or aversion therapy. You can count calories or fat grams. You can use hypnosis. And the list goes on and on. There is no shortage of diet programs.

In my practice everyone who wants to lose weight does lose because we add hypnosis to the mix. Hypnotic suggestions make it easier to stick to whatever program you decide to follow. And it is crucial to follow a program. Talk to others and find out about a program that may be new to you. Remember, any diet program will work if you follow it.

BFB, I don't believe a word you say.  I bet you're 90 lbs soaking wet.  I bet you're not fat at all.  And I bet you're coming on this forum to try and poke fun at people who are overweight.  You're not original.  You're not funny.  You're lame.  Now, go away.

I am a fat rights advocate. I have two blogs devoted to the new fat acceptance movement.

I am a former chapter chair of Washington DC NAAFA. Unlike current fat acceptance I am not against dieting. I do promote gluttony and obesity. I know it is not for everyone but it is for most people. It makes us happy.

I don't really believe you've seen people die.  If you had you'd be more afraid.

Do you know how much morphine it takes to manage someones pain who is obese oppossed to someone who isn't?  Did you know that you're more likely to get cancer because you're obese?  So you don't care.  Fine.  But I've watched people die.  And I've seen people hurt.  I've seen people facing down death, and it's not pretty.   I've seen obese people asking why this is happening to them (be it a heart attack, stroke or the inability to breath) and I only have one answer for them.  It's your weight.

I am truly sorry for all of the suffering coming your way that you think you will enjoy.

This is the most entertaining thread at the moment!  :grin:  I don't know why I get the biggest kick out of this guy.  It's like a soap opera.

Okay this guy said that there was a time in America when being big was a sign of robust health....well that was a long time ago and people also thought that the earth was flat, you could drill a hole in an insane person's head to let the "crazy" out, and many other strange things!  We've come a long way since then.

While I do not agree with this gentleman's perspective on health,
(in fact I pity those who share his belief system)

I do agree with his cause of "Fat Acceptance".

As a one time "Juggernaught" I found that my life was filled with false perceptions from others, which in their worst expression were spewed forth as...

 Agressive "discrimination",

and in their best expression wete put forth as...

Passive "condesention".

It is imperative that we evaluate others by their beliefs, words, and (more importantly)deeds, and NOT by their outward appearance.

BFB you say above you are taking the easier way in life. Out of all of the posts you have commented on you haven't given any evidence that you theory of life is any easier.

If you truly think your way of life is better please tell us all what it is you can do by being fat?

You don't know it but everything you typed above proves and is concrete evidence that being fat isn't better.
1. You lost your wife over it. 2. You aknowledge nothing but food in your life. You will never be able to take care of a kid in life the correct way if you do have one. Could you play with them in the back yard?
Could you protect your kid from some trying to kidnap them?

3. As a result of who you become you won't ever be clean.
4. You have actually accepted being alone in life there for never giving you the joy of love.

As you and I both know a healthy skinny person will out live a overweight person any day. So that takes away from lenght of your life which I will be enjoying long after you are dead.

Please tell me how it is you have seen an chosen your way of life around everything I have said.

I could keep going on and on but you and I both know I and the rest of this post particapants are beyond correct. Deep down you know the truth. What you need to do is stop tricking your self.
Please excuse me for any typos I did this all from my cell phone because my internet is down on my computer.

You're quite correct, Victor, and I really try to keep that in mind. 

However, I must admit that whenever I see really overweight people like those pictured above and quite a few people in the office where I work, the first thought in my head is, "Ewwww!" closely followed by, "At least I'm not that far gone!"  There's one poor woman in the office who is so overweight that she has to sort of rock side to side to walk.  I find myself glancing at her out the corner of my eye, morbidly fascinated.  I'm ashamed of that.  I feel like I'm gawking at someone else's suffering and I like to think I'm a better person than that.

I know there are organizations such as BFB talks of, I myself cannot comprehend why any reasonably mentally stable person would actively pursue obesity, especially since I am obviously aware of how I instinctively react to the sight of so much weight on a person. 

I know I am at least on the edge of being addicted to food.  I love the taste and texture of certain foods.  But I want to be physically fit.  There are just soooo many things about being fat that are miserably not fun!

I have a question, BFB...if someone could wave a magic wand and make you a 'regular weight', but you could still eat everything that you wanted and not gain a pound, would you have it done?  Or would you rather actually be the size you are?

Scribbler...

What would you have thought of THIS person?





In fact these are the same person as this..



Am I  any different because of how I look?????

What you said about your perceptions is why we MUST change our thinking about people's outward appearance.

BFB is misguided in his thinking on health, on this we all agree, but his cause (accepting people for who they are, not how they look) is just and appropriate. And I for one am wholeheartedly behind that concept!
