Why are most women today fat?

[hipolito mejia]

Im not talking about the ones who "feel fat", but the average woman, Id say 70% seems to be at least 30 to 40 lbs overweight. Im 48 now and I don't remember this being the case 20 to 30 years ago. Then they wear capri pants and  flip flops a lot.- gross. What's up with this?

Chubbyness is back in style.

Serious answer.  I'd speculate that being fat is a way of life.  Ok, it's not like bodybuilding which is apparently a "lifestyle" to some in which the end goal is to look good, but fatness is a consequence of a lot of shit (yes, overconsumption and lack of exercise obviously).  

I bet a lot of it comes from family though.  It's pretty rare to see a family of fatties with one person in good shape.  Same with friends.  You hardly ever see a really fit person hanging out with an obese group, or a married couple with one into fitness and the other one really out of shape.  If you were fat and that was your world, fat family, fat friends, fat spouse, I bet you'd actually get ostracised to some degree for losing weight and getting fit.

Nutritional ignorance certainly plays a big part.  That's why Jenny Craig and Weightwatchers make so much money.  People who don't understand nutrition see "diet food" as some magical mystery.  The notion that a given volume of lettuce contains less calories than that volume of beans, or that volume of beef, or that volume of ice cream, is totally lost on them.  Their upbringing and exposure to nutritional knowledge (lack thereof) plays a part, but laziness or a belief that they'll never understand the mystery of nutrition means they never make an effort to learn.

Weight loss advertisements do more harm than good.  Fatties see them and think they're going to look like a cover model in 10 weeks.  When they see hardly any progress (how much different are you going to look at 40% than 42%) they give up.  Approaching fat loss with a result oriented attitude is counterproductive.  Fat goes on slow, fat comes off slow, but you're not going to make a lot of money running a weight loss company by telling people the truth.

And some people are just lazy for whatever reason.  Some have a sense of hopelessness that they can't overcome, some have psych triggers that make them reach for junk food at the drop of a hat, some are scared of failure since they view getting in shape as a win or lose situation, and some are just delusional as hell and think they are such wonderful human beings that everyone should love them no matter how fat they get.  Having witnessed more than a few of these types asking for advice, claiming they're on a diet while munching on a king-sized Butterfinger (in spite of the diabetes!!), I have to conclude that some of them are just plain insane.

Excellent post.

I have never seen a fat Aussie girl. Do they exist?

YEAH, "johnnynoname"...  you're so full of it!  Keith does FOUR sets of shrugs at the gym before calling it a day. 

Oh lord a guy who doesn't lift making fun of me.  Now this has to be one of the funniest things ever.  hahahahaaha now you are entering into the Goodrum and Asschaotic "world of delusion"  Stick to just making fun of people cause you suck big time trying to make us believe you lift or have anything to do with training.

Haha!  Of course not.  You think I'd live somewhere the women were less than supermodels?! 

Honestly, when I got here 10 years ago I was pleasantly surprised by how fit people were.  Now, it's still better than the US but has gone downhill in a "big" way.  The Aussies have great genetics in general, but their lifestyles suck.

 Women have less brain serotonin than men, which makes them compensate frustrations with food. However, American women have always been fatter than European, South American and especially Asian women, and that boils down to the American obsession with material success, which leads to long working hours and the idea that eating is a "waste of time", which gave birth to the fast food epidemic starting in the 1950s and resulting in the obese nation of today.

Easy answer.

Mcdonalds, burger king, ding dongs, ice cream, chocolate, etc. Then they cant figure out why they're overweight / fat and guys won't give them the time of day.

just because you lifted weights 20 years ago doesn't mean you can talk shit to people
you are one of the most obese people I have ever seen,
do you think people look at you and say...he lifts weights?
no they say I wonder how many forklifts are needed to lift him

[Viking11]

Good responses, keep em coming! As an aside, I really don't mind some women who are a bit chubby, some of them look cute. But rhe ones I see going into Wal Mart a lot- just appalling!

hahahaha yea keep posting pics "not of me" and I will keep posting of "you".  Dude you don't even lift weights.  There is absolutely not one shread of evidence you have ever lifted a weight.  You keep trying to convince us you do, yet you fail at it.  I have more than 25 years of proving myself.  you have NONE.  I think my experience and knowledge far outweighs (pardon the pun) yours by far.  All you are is skinny.  In a real gym you would be the one everyone makes fun of.  Thats a fact no matter how you look at it.  How can you come on a website regarding lifting weights and gyms when you haven't stepped foot in one.  Honestly just admit it that you are here to look at pics of guys in thongs and to get off.  You have admitted to being gay so now admit you don't lift.  You will feel better about yourself.

Sometimes women get fat to keep people away.
Usually this is the type that is quick to call sexual harassment on people.
It's a form of armour; they were abused or assaulted in their past,
and the fat keeps people from viewing them as a sex object.

This type is definitely a small minority, but they do exist.

I've been lax lately.

Been focusing on art.

I'm still dieting though.

[newmom]

Tapeworm, as a weight watchers member I disagree to an extent. It helped me stay focused because it was hard to do it on my own. The one thing about weight watchers you dont have to buy their food nor products, although I did buy 2 cookbooks because for the two of them was only 10 bucks all together. I have now been a lifetime member on maintenance for 2 weeks and have 4 more weeks and there weight range for me is 117-147. Now I am 140 and another 8 more pounds lost and I will have lost half my body weight. So as long as I stay under 147 for the next 4 weeks, I dont pay for the meetings anymore. I know it seems that I am not disciplined, but I have to say I am to an extent, if I get up at 4:30 to be at the gym at 5am. I know most dont agree with weight watchers, I am just saying what works for me. I eat all my carbs by 10am, that way I have all day to burn it off. SO I eat wheat pasta at 7am, its when I choose to eat them. I do what works for me. Some women at the meeting have said I am an inspiration and yes that makes me feel good. They asked me how I lost it so quickly and I tell them I stayed away from pizza burgers and stuff, I didnt really have any cheat meals at all. But I do say that is just me, I have been super focused. I told them how I eat all my carbs (pasta and rice) by 10am (this doesnt include my veggie carbs). They have tried it and had better weeks.
