People don't take criticism very well nowadays.

Meh. Her husband got pissed and posted the letter on the Internet, it's not like she was the one who decided to pop this off. And I'm not surprised, I'd be kinda pissed off if someone decided to shit talk my wife in order to make up for the fact that they're a security guard. :(

It's shitty behavior, and when people act shitty, they should be called out on it.  I have no problem with pointing out that this guy was a dick.



Or that he's a tremendously smug douchebag who thinks that everyone's bodies work the same and that if he can do it, anyone can.  Which isn't always necessarily true.

He's clearly a dickbag who's a security guard and has nothing going for him other than the fact that he lost some weight, so he decided to project the one thing he's been decent at onto someone else.  Do you think there's anyone who has ever decided to lose weight because someone sent them a smug, self-righteous letter?


...I might hire you as an assistant , excellent insight :thumbsup:

Guys, you have a net weight gain when you're pregnant. Even after the birth, you're still going to be fat for a while. :P

The guy was being an idiot, although we may never know his true intentions. The anchor's reasoning is off too, however. While much of obesity is caused by factors beyond our control at this point, and while some kids just have a heavier build, it's still possible to recognize that a diet and lifestyle change is necessary and possible. However, I don't think that bullying is the most effective way to get across this message.


how can you say "obesity is caused by factors beyond our control at this point"? Very few people cannot control their weight because of some disease. Everyone else just likes to think so.

This one I'll agree with. Though this woman specifically does have some thyroid issues, afaik, which can have a pretty shitty effect when it comes to weight loss.

Some people missed what I said it seems. She has a thyroid problem and exercises regularly, even runs races and has one coming up. It'd be wonderful if people would at least attempt to get some of the back story before firing off pot shots.

Article about study into weight loss having no real net gain from exercise, its not the one i was looking for which is more recent and shows genetic predispositions, but it does show that exercise is vastly over rated for weight loss.
