Why are people fat?

A bunch of the people I work with (mostly women) are in their 20s and fat as fuck. Not obese fat but normal American fat. We'll all have lunch together in breaks where they talk about how they're trying to lose weight meanwhile they're stuffing their faces with pastas, bread smothered in butter, sodas, sweet tea, and pretty much every unhealthy food you can think of.

I've had a few ask "How do you stay so thin" but I know they're not actually willing to change because all they'd have to do is look at my fucking plate. Chicken breasts, brown rice, kale.

Do fatties generally have a lower IQ? Are they just lazy? I'm not trying to be a dick, it just seems like it's incredibly easy to figure out what foods make you fat.

I think you answered your own question

They don't care. They know if they pay lip service to it, they can do whatever the hell they want because "they're trying"

If they got a man, he probably threw in the towel when she did. If he hadn't and she believed other women wanted him, she'd either shape up or try to indebt him further.

This isn't just a woman thing either.

I suspect they consume more calories than they burn Phone Post 3.0

Bingo.

Some people are good/great at keeping within a caloric limit. Others are not. I'm not good at it - I've struggled with it my entire life so far. If I don't eat until I'm stuffed to the gills, I don't feel satisfied and I feel miserable. It's hard to break out of.

They made a thousand choices a day that started them on that path and they continue to make dozens every day. Phone Post 3.0

One of these women said her husband got fat when she got fat and pregnant and they stayed that way.

If that was my life I'd suicide myself to death. Phone Post 3.0

"They don't care. They know if they pay lip service to it, they can do whatever the hell they want because "they're trying""

You have quoted my gf verbatim.   "I'm trying....it's hard...."


"If they got a man, he probably threw in the towel when she did. If he hadn't and she believed other women wanted him, she'd either shape up or try to indebt him further."
 
She knows I"m not happy about her weight.  I still work out and am not fat.  I am around hot women all the time.  She doesn't seem to give a shit. Maybe she thinks that even though I'm surrounded by hot women, I couldn't get laid if I was the last man on earth.  Granted, she's right.

Not everyone bases their self worth on their weight.

well there's a few reasons more and more people see so big.

people get entertainment at their fingertips, movies, internet and such so people don't care for leaving home for healthy hobbies.

bad food is now cheaper than healthy food and More readily accessible.

and people are to scared and lazy to get for because to them there is no incentive,

And now we have fat people acting like the black folkes/women in the 60's only those people were discriminated against unfairly Phone Post 3.0

WithoutSpoilersdotCom - what are some of the best excuses for eating shitty you guys heard?

i wish i worked with those fat females, must be impressive how they justify their food

Not really an excuse but I got a kick out of this chubby 24yo chick from NYC that works under me saying "I gave up sugar for lent." I'm like "I just watched you drink a large coke" "Well no, I mean sugary things, like doughnuts"

In her defense, she might've also given up common sense for lent.

It's simple. They're lazy. Case closed.

They don't eat a stick of grass fed butter for breakfast.

Women don't have to lose weight cause they always will have some desperate dude who will take them. Phone Post 3.0
