It pissed me off! This guy gets help for his obesity left and right yet when I was an active bulimic-never weighed more that 126 or so-my ins. told me to take pills and go away! I’ve known plenty of anorexics-80/90 lbs- that have been told the same thing.
Yeah, when I was turned down last year(fall 2003), it FORCED me to fight it on my own, and yeah, I’m doing much better though it will always be a struggle for me.
No. I don’t usual play victim. I’m a big believer in personal responsibilty and personal choice-not in the abortion sense though.
I wasn’t offered so much as a support group, or a DIETICIAN(It wasn’t necessary they said)
I was an ACTIVE exercise bulimic/ laxative addict for almost EIGHTEEN years and they couldn’t pop for a dietician?
I guess you CAN be too fat but there’s no such thing as an unhealthy obession with being fit/thin, after all fit/ thin is good. right?
I’m greatful I was turned down that last time-albeit for the wrong reasons-it forced me to start making choices.
As for that gentlemen-what’s good for the goose…

Twerp is Right.
It is a very dangerous mental problem that kills people, ask Karen Carpenter. If your daughter is diagnosed anorexics or bulimic her survival odds just went down, a lot.
But for me I used to eat X-Lax like candy on Monday, and not eat or drink till Friday’s weigh-in, and then gain 15 pounds before wrestling that night, and the Monday X-Lax comes back alive, with all the water and fluids, which makes it hard to wrestle, unless you are very good, which I was.
SO I was a natural when it came to selling fat women on paying damn good money to lose weight. Yup, I can hose a fat woman till the cows come home. There is a new book out now and the new author is barking up the wrong tree. He was introduced on FOX NEWS as the guy who says you can lose 12 pounds in a month. This ass-wipe says, “Correction I say you can lose 15 pounds in a month.”
That is not the proper thing to say, period. I say, “In Six weeks you WILL lose 1 and 1/2 inches in the upper thigh. Don’t pay attention to the scale. I have women losing three rungs on their belts complaining that they haven’t lost any weight. Who cares right? Who cares if you weigh a thousand pounds if you look like you have the BEST FIGURE in your life. Then womens’ butts are different than mens, but you knew that. Womens butts hang. SO, WE lose 1 and 1/2 inches off the upper thigh, and lift the buttox up, and WALA, FIGURE. Then you can see it in your FACE......blah blah blah......
People are selling books and becoming millionaires because of their wrong knowledge on weightloss. I’m sooo much better. Then the ass-wipe said “machines.” Shoot, I can go either way ac/dc. Maybe I’ll discuss it here a bit so that I’ll be able to show you my Molly Legend art signed 1883 under the toe of the Pharoah.
And Twerp is correct about being uninsurable with mental problems like these. I know because I tell people all the TIME you are uninsurable with that mental problem forever. But I also tell peoples that you are uninsurable because you are tooo fat but if you lose 100 pounds that can be corrected and you can get insurance and then you can go back up again and keep your insurance. SEE the difference between mental and fat declines?
But we are liberal. A 5’9” woman can weigh 270 LBs. SO - if I say you can get insurance if you lose 100 LBs that means she weighs 370 NOW, lovely right?
Oh good, my daughter just called and they are ordering their first drink in the Milwakye Airport Bar, a Saphire and Tonic, sweet.
