The Teen Obesity Problem in America."

[psychoslice]

If you are anorexic you put a strain on the hospital system.
If you are obsessive about what you eat to the point of intestinal disease you put a strain on the hospital system. I know this happened to someone.
If you exercise to the point of joint damage, you put a strain on the hospital system.

If you didn't know, anorexia is a mental illness, with one in every hundred, the same percentage as schizophrenia, of course mental illness can affect people in different ways, but the biggest majority of over weight people isn't caused by metal illness, do your reading.

 

[psychoslice]

Do you? Do you diet every day of your life?

No, I eat properly, I also take anti-psychotics which can caused you to put on a lot of weight, if I didn't take care of my weight I would be a big fat psychotic psychoslice lol.

I think you are right that obesity isn't caused by metal illness.

 

[psychoslice]

I am not making excuses for getting fat. YOU are making excuses for viewing fat people in a negative light.

No I'm not, I am just stating facts, and I also don't like those who sit on their back sides complaining about their condtion.

Me too, but some people do not know the same care for health as we do. To believe that all people know the same as you do is sophomoric.

I do not know who is doing that.

Yes I agree, but lets face it, you would have to be living under a rock not to know that eating the wrong foods can detrimental to their health, you see it everywhere, I really do think we are becoming more and more dumber.

 

[psychoslice]

I do not know who is doing that.

Ha, you don't want to know ?.

If your grossly over weight, you put a strain on the hospital system, such as diabetes, and heart disease, plus many more diseases. If you want to stay that way then pay for your own medical help, in that way it doesn't matter.

That's still no reason they should feel ashamed of themselves. And if you're so concerned about this strain, then don't tear overweight people down, but help them to feel good enough about themselves to make positive changes. Shame and other negative feelings, so much far more often than not, leads to viscous cycles and feedback loops that make things worse and worse.

That just hasn't worked, they really need a kick up the backside to kick start them, these people end up having children and the children in many cases end up just like them, to me this is child abuse.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

That just hasn't worked

It hasn't been tried. And, often times, the objection come from those who want to demonize for what should be, and often is, considered a health issue. Now, consider men are much more stubborn when it comes to going to the doctor, and men are more likely than women to die from a terminal illness, often because when they finally did go to the doctor it was just too late. Consider the stigma against seeking help for psychological issues that keeps people away from therapists and psychiatrists?
Now, if someone is obese, and they are buying into this "they should feel ashamed of themselves" nonsense, do you think they are likely or less likely to get help with? And, yes, people do often need help. Help with learning about diet and nutrition, exercises that help them meet their goals, and any unique challenges they may be facing.

You're being a hypocrite. You're mentally ill and you know people use those same arguments against people with mental illness. You need to stop it.

Yes help is what they need, but they have to make that start, they have to stop feeling sorry for themselves, and get that help, again you would be pretty ignorant of not knowing what to eat, its not rocket science is it ?.

 

[psychoslice]

You're being a hypocrite. You're mentally ill and you know people use those same arguments against people with mental illness. You need to stop it.

But the difference with me is that I do get help, I don't blame others, I take responsibility for myself, I'm sick of hearing people who don't take responsibly, and all they do is blame everyone else, we are becoming an age of dumb bells.

And here you are, blaming everyone else for all the problems in the world.

Now come on, you know very well I haven't said that, you are angry at me, ask yourself why ?.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

How are they supposed to feel motivated to get help or improve themselves if they are supposed to feel ashamed of themselves?

again you would be pretty ignorant of not knowing what to eat, its not rocket science is it ?.

Many times it's not what you should eat, but what you can afford to eat.

Now come on, you know very well I haven't said that, you are angry at me, ask yourself why ?.

I'm annoyed with you because of your attitude in this thread. You have many problems of your own and you're in here acting all high and mighty and tearing people down. You should know better. I'm sure you know what kind of nasty stuff people say and do to the mentally ill. Have some respect for others.

My god, the excuses that you keep coming up with is ridiculous, buying take away's is much more costly than eating a decent meal.
