Well, I do agree with them that society is too shallow these days, and cares too much about looks.

Um, dude, there's the health benefits too. Why do you think doctors advise against obesity? Fat people face a lot more problems, notably heart disease.

 similar situation here.

I have no sympathy for people who claim they can't lose weight, because there is virtually never an excuse for it.

Amen aldo.

Being overweight is just a disgusting thing. If you cant help it, then I sympathize, but if your just a lazy McDonnalds bastard, then I despise it.

On the same note, big up to people who are overweight and are working at getting fit.

People will not change their behaviors until they are ready to.  Unfortunately, it many cases, that comes about after it's too late.

BUT, since we're on the subject of humor, here's one of my favorites.


Which would YOU prefer?

Paris, France?


or Paris, Texas?

them not wanting to is the problem

I'm not so fat you'd point me out in the street, but I am on the larger side (think 230lb, 5'11).  I've never really worked out why, I've always done some excersise and I dont shovel a Mcdonalds down every 4 hours.  I think its really down to quantity of food consumed as apposed to quality.

Anyway, I've been watching ye olde calorie intake over the weeks and I'm losing 1-2 lbs a week, so now weigh 218lbs.  Its not especially difficult, i still have the odd bag of chips after a night out and I'm doing well enough.  I'm doing it more for the fashion / girls related benefits, than the health (though that's something I'd consider later in life).

With this in mind, I dont see how the monstorously obese can say they cant lose wieght.  It just comes down to lack of will power, and stupidity.  Not everyone is meant to be stick thin, but there's a reason you can't find many XXL t shirts and size 42" waist trousers - because people shouldn't be that fat.
(well muscles/being tall is understandable)
