Is It Really A Good Idea To Put This Out?

Already I heard interviews with Big boned girls that are using it as an excuse.

The bottom line is, you have to eat too much to be fat ( I know believe me). Giving people this lifeline to not do something about it 'because its my genes' surely is not a good idea?

And how come this was not around over the years if hereditary?

Togo.......the ultimate paragraph was a gem ;-)

Ha Ha. Thank You woofgang. The first questions were the spoof ones the last one was serious. [^_=]

[mikey4444]

"Further more why do the ones who are suffering from the condition variously termed big boned, obese, fat, overweight or whatever always have strange haircuts that advertise there considerable presence usually dyed in a vivid hue not found in the usual range, coupled with the tightest clothes it is possible to imagine?"

My point exactly Yogo !

( you forgot the tattoos ! )

[Togo]

Tattoos mikey4444 ? I always thought they were those very close veins or something similar.[^_^]

[mikey4444]

Togo...they are probably genetic in nature, as the same type of people seem to have them !

and we are back on planet nasty occupied by the nastyoids


Personal remarks guys....just rude!

of course it's in the genes, everyone's always known that. If you can have the same hair colour as your parents, or inherit a predisposition to breast cancer, how amazing is it that your metabolism can be inherited too?

Lol, "big boned" used to be used and I dare say is still used to excuse some peoples size ie: fat.

It is now occurring to people that there are no "big boned" skeletons!

[Retrochic]

^^^ is it?

Its a well known fact that peoples skeleton size differs. Adults wrist sizes are taken in medical BMI's to calculate body mass as these areas rarely have excess fat.

Good one,woof!! :-D

Good old stereotyping above - never seen a slender person with ill fitting clothes and tattoos?? I have.

My best pal at school probably weighed almost two of me , her shoulders were much broader than mine , her hands drowned mine , my wrist measured 5½ inches her's were 8 inches - no podge or anything.

Our diets were much alike and she could out run me in any sport.

Just got in from walking our dog, and a medicinal pint of mild with the mad debating society that doubles as a local, to find that I'm stereotyping people. Mmmmm when did the thought police make being observant and inquisitive antisocial? Oh and woofgang your link seems to mix up the Stereophonics with Radiohead.

[Togo]

Not my final comment. I Hope.[^_^]

[Togo]

Yes Mamyallyne I have seen skinny people with tattoos and ill fitting clothes. The first time was when I worked down in the coal mine, the second time was the nurses in my fathers respite home. (-_-)

[pixie374]

It might well be something genetic, although I suspect it's mainly learnt from parents. But whatever the "triggers" are, it is always down to eating more than your activity levels require, for any individual.

[pixie374]

...and I'm skinny with ill-fitting clothes (now) and tattoos. What type am I, Mikey? ;-)

[Togo]

Pixie brings gentle voice of reason to this silly thread. I do hope she is the Cornish type. My heart lives there since my yearly visit starting in the late 60s. Plus an apology to Mamyallyne, I was mistaken. The first time I saw images off thin, tattooed, ill clothed folk was when my old German language teacher showed us all photographs of his from his days in the army whilst liberating the 'camps'. Only to quell our enthusiasm for all things military you must understand. Nos Da.

[Mamyalynne]

No need for an apology Togo, anyone can make an error.
