That is SOOO not true, I was overweight for years due to medicine I was on, I do only eat fresh foods, (fromthe outside of the store) and I ran every day, and couldn't get the weight off, until I convinced my Dr it was the meds, went on other stuff and it came off...

So that statement is NOT true.

As a chunky man I thought I'd never get any attention, but it seems that a lot of the ladies like the "squishy and snuggly" kind of man.

Still, though... I'd like to lose it but being a truck driver makes it REALLY hard. I'm on my ass all day.

Men are harder on big women, you see it all the time on date sites, I never cared how large the guys were that I dated, I went for charm and the ability to keep me laughing.

Some things are hereditary, diabeties, cancer, a multitude of heart disease...most of the time these things are inevitable to happen, I will probably end up with cancer and/or heart disease in my life...not much I can do about it.

Grocery stores are really hard to come by when your vehicle is 73 feet long and needs 40 feet to make a right turn. I know what you mean though. A lot of truck stops have a Subway, and that's pretty much my diet.

My family is Basque. You ever seen a skinny Basque? Ain't gonna happen.

You look fine women love teddybears, if you want to loss that is your choice, I have several young truckdrivers who are big guys and love'em

Wrong. The problem was actually that up until about 2 years ago, the first aid and cpr classes would only teach the most common signs of heart problems for MEN. It turns out, those are often the LEAST common symptoms for heart problems in women.

I'm also tired of people saying it is because women wouldn't complain. That women have too much to do to get it checked out. That is bull****e.

Women are far more likely to seek medical attention than men. I still think it does back to the fact that women didn't even know the signs for heart issues for women because the health industry couldn't be bothered to have the information as part of their classes until reciently.

Charm and humor are pretty much the only weapons in the fat guy dating arsenal. Let me tell you, at 250 pounds, I got a lot of charm and humor. Well, I can also lift heavy things, break fragile things, and stink up a bathroom at the in-laws place. Not to mention peeing in their pool...

You're right there is always exceptions...I was speaking broadly...you can pick a statement to death, though...nothing is 100%

EDIT: If MOST People...etc etc etc...

Oh, and by the way:

Never trust a skinny cook.

My hubby that died in a hunting accident almost 20 yrs ago was 6'4" and well over three hundred pounds and women hit on him all the time. Both my daughters dads are died and my girls take after their fathers. They are big, but confident, educated, beautiful, and have average size very good looking husbands.

too much weight is a health issue since it has been proven that overweight people can suffer very serious consequences such as :
high blood pressure ,cholesterol ,diabetes ,some cancers .....
etc. So having a reasonable diet is beneficial for both the health and the physical appearance . .

thats not true.....I love to cook! I just love to be healthy also

Thats the same with me! But even they seem to hide now and then!!!!

I think healthy is all that matters. If you're happy with your skin than it's all good.

Steroids in general have weight side effects and they are used in many medicines and unless you read the small print you don't know the active ingredients.So it is possible to have weight issues if you are on medication. I know a lady that had very painful joints and was prescribed steroids and within a year she was well over 250 for a 5 ft 5er

thats why i dont take the steroids i should take. its my own fault if i die from a addisons crisis, my decison, my fault.

i know this lady who is extremly obese, and i mean extremly obese, well over 20 stone. she has carried that weight all her life, and now due to the obesity she needs hip replacements, but no doctor, even private doctors WONT do it, because shes so obese it would be so dangerous.

id rather look after my body now, so i dont end up like that.

i gained weight on some meds, but i stopped taking them, and the weight fell off. im starting excerising a bit again, it varies day to day how much i can do, depending on my pain levels.
