Pasta doesn’t make you fat. How much pasta you eat makes you fat.

It’s not about weight, it’s about fitness, and one component of being fit is to have relatively low body fat, because fat is not very efficient, whereas muscle is.

I don’t think fat is pretty. If I saw some big fat leopard walking through the jungle, I’d start laughing. Or if I was at the races, I saw some 150-lb. greyhound running against the other lean greyhounds, I’d start laughing too. It doesn’t seem very natural. It doesn’t look healthy. It doesn’t look sleek or stealth. It looks funny. I think that’s why people through history laugh at fat people. They’re round and funny-looking.

I like fat people more than I like thin people, things are always a lot more funnier when they happen to fat people.

You are so fat, people jog around you for exercise.

I wish people would stop making fun of fat people……. they have enough shit on their plates..

Making fun of fat people won’t make you any thinner, and making fun of ugly people won’t make you any prettier, and making fun of unsuccessful people won’t necessarily make you successful, so leave the creatures to the One who created them, Instead of making fun of people, work on improving YOURSELF.

Want to look skinny without losing any weight? Hang out with fat people.

Relationships are like fat people, most of them don’t work out.

“A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.”

So if I exercised and didn’t lose weight, there was no goddamned point, obviously.”
– Kate Harding of Shapely Prose

“If you didn’t enjoy sports–and hoo boy, I didn’t–the only, only reason to exercise was to lose weight. Sure, plenty of people gave lip service to the idea of exercising “for your health,” but what that meant was “to lose weight.” Fat was bad and unhealthy. Exercise made it go away. That. Was. All.

“How many times have you called tech support and been told “oh, just reboot your modem/router/computer/x-box and it’ll be fine?” …Folks, when this happens, it’s not a conspiracy, it’s someone not entirely fulfilling the duties of their job. …. “Just lose some weight and you’ll be fine” is not a conspiracy. It’s one person telling another person that they do not want to invest any time or energy into figuring out and resolving their health issues – they’ve already “decided” what’s wrong.”

“Yet, we are not being inundated with scares about the deadliness of being male, millions aren’t spent to eradicate maleness, and men make up a fraction of bariatric patients.”

“Even extremely obese women still have a longer life expectancy than normal-weight men.”
— Paul Ernsberger, Ph.D.

Don’t you dare, for one more second, surround yourself with people who are not aware of the greatness that you are.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. Ralph Waldo Emerson
