Sorry. Just a little rant. Obviously there is something wrong with me.
What are your thoughts around Pringles?
Pringles are a great meet-day post weigh-in carb up. They digest easily because someone at the factory has already chewed them for you.

That's fuckin' deep, man.
It's like Dr. Phil and Maya Angelou had a secret lovechild and then left him on a Greenwich Village doorstep to be raised by hipsters.

You should start a guerilla movement to sneak around at night covering up billboards and sneaking notes into menus that have the simple message
WHY
ARE
YOU
SO
FAT
Nail them up to telephone poles, slip them into mailboxes, create an email spammer, hack into foodnetwork.com, cut the pattern into corn fields, let the movement begin! You can probably enlist x-fitters to do the dirty work for you.

Hmmm, this could be a good way to advertise my business as well.
Somewhat on topic...we've had four people (three women one man) jump on the lapband solution for weight control where I work before our plan administrator stepped in and stopped any more from happening. Five years after the surgery...THEY ARE AS BIG IF NOT BIGGER THAN THEY WERE BEFORE THE SURGERY. They all lost some weight initially. One woman lost around 75 pounds...but then gained it all back. The one guy is over four hundy. Has to wear one of those pressurized cuffs on his leg to help with circulation. One common trait amongst them all...not one of them is willing to suffer even the slightest discomfort from exercise in an effort to lose any weight.

One of my cousins was so fat-tastic that he came down with diabetes. Had the lapband surgery which completely cleared away his diabetes, but the circulation in his legs was already so FUBAR-ed that he had to have one amputated. He lives a horrible life now.
I'm not certain which is harder to grasp/understand...someone who's always been heavy, from childhood to adulthood or someone who may have been particularly athletic in their youth into young adulthood only to pack on the weight when they got older. Just my bullshit observation but I'm always stunned to converse with folks who have lived their whole life avoiding any form of discomfort or pain. The concept of running for the sake of running or the pursuit of a reasonable level of fitness has no meaning to a vast majority of people.
The problem for most who get the lap-band or a gastric bypass is that the majority who get it think it is a silver bullet, and that they don't have to pay attention to what they're putting in their mouth ever again. Actually, ever again is the wrong term, as it implies that they paid attention in the first place.
My wife's brother-in-law lost over 300lb with a bypass, but in the last year, has gained about 100 back. Eats until he is in physical pain, favors cheese covered soul food. Was doing about 2 hours of cardio daily at his lowest weight, and has ceased that entirely.
The surgical means are great physical tools, but the person still has to decide they aren't going to be fat and to never be complacent with the initial "easy" weight loss.

At least 6 women I work with have had this done. ONE of them has managed to keep the weight off and remains a smoking hot red headed big earl. The rest of them are fucking walruses. Literally.
Oh, and I'm eating a brownie. *nomzes*

Being from Rockford, you'll understand what I'm saying. I went to Cedar Rapids, IA a few weeks ago and when I got off the plane, I was shocked at how huge the people were. I come from an area full of fatties and the enormity of these people was astounding.

I just saw some little porker 14 yr old kid order fucking vegan chocolate ice cream at Whole Foods. It kills me to see all of these crunchy, "healthy vegan" fatties in that place. Good iced coffee though.

You know what Peach, I totally disagree. My business partner is hyooge and I'm sure his maintenance calories are like double mine . He could lose 30 lbs in 3 months without even getting hungry if he stuffed the right foods in his pie hole. There's no need for surgery on those whales.
davidc wrote:I've found standing on my head to be particularly useful
Not really. I have a mother in law and a sister in law who have had gastric bypass surgery and both are in danger of being obese again. Actually well on there way to being there again. I made a comment to my wife once about them changing bad habits, was rudely explained to that they will be fine and I have never brought it up again to anyone. Its all about choices.

I thought you were on a tight budget these days. Get 'yo ass back to Food Lion! ;-)
