This is true in most cases.

There are plenty of cases in papers of really fat people actually losing loads of weight when they make the effort.

Fat people are fat because they eat too much or wrongly, and don't exercise enough!!:jester:

You may scoff (something fat people are obviously very good at), but in recent years the UK has turned into a nation of f***ing victims: "no of course you're fat because you eat like a pig, it must be GLANDULAR", "it's not your fault you're hooked on crack, it must have been PEER PRESSURE".

Bunch of arse.

From 'Absolutely Fabulous':

Edina: Why am I so fat and unfit? Why darling?
Saffy: Because you eat too much, drink too much, smoke too much and do absolutely no exercise.
Edina: No, no that can't be it - it must be an allergy.

Once again I harp on about the US but, those here who know me will tell you that I am hardly sylphlike, technically I'm obese in fact but where Mrs BHA resides I am considered slim !

Fact is that you do eat more there because the food is both better and cheaper (to eat out anyway). Having said that, I've been to 'All you can eat' eateries where you pay about £4 and have watched these mammoth Americans repeatedly returning for seconds, thirds, fouths, fifths etc.

Yeah, they're mega obese because they eat too much. Might add that most of them don't exercise either, they drive everywhere.
 


I am what you may call a big bird. I tend to lose weight in the summer as I keep fit, eat healthily and tend to drink less alchol. In the winter I work 12 hours a day, eat rubbish and generally get up, go to work, go home, go to bed.

I think it depends on your genes (not the clothes). Both my parents are big and last year I lost A LOT of weight through dieting and exercising. I could not go past a certain weight/dress size however and I am now resigned to the fact that I'll never be a size 10! :(

Roll on summer! :lolol:

BB-Do you eat shit at work? ie when the sandwich lady comes round do you buy something and then fill up on crisps and other junk all day?

If you take a helthy packed lunch to work you will also save money?

Yeah I know but I get up too late to make lunch. I've started bringing soup into work. It's those walkers sensations. Grrr

Work is my downfall!
