To ask what you think when you see a young, fat person?

I just think a person. I think others don't register people who are an average level of overweight as it's so common now.
However I have a friend who is size 30-32 and she gets a lot of stares and ominous looks from men as they walk past

I don’t really notice, especially as most people are now overweight.

Denial of what. I'm literally reinforcing your opinion which is that you have to exercise or sacrifice fatty food for that attainment of thinness in your 40s. You said you are a runner and not bothered by food so completely the opposite to me. Plus I don't know why someone with so little posting history is so interested in my posting history like I said- very creepy!!

I agree. For children and young adults, I do feel for them as they've almost certainly been suffering from some kind of trauma or eating disorder. I believe that for children, the fault lies at the door of the parents, especially primary age children who have no control over what their parents feed them. We really shouldn't be "fat shaming" children at all. Even adults in their 20's who are grossly overweight is probably down to childhood issues.

Adults, I'm not really bothered about as they can make their own choices. My sympathies are reserved for children and young adults.

I have never said I like excessive cake that is something nailclipper with a history of 28 posts has fashioned for their narrative. Probably did like cake on ad hoc basis I prefer chocolate or wine. Omg shoot me! Well for a start most women aren't peri and I think I maybe as I've never never had a belly.

What the hell difference does being in my 30s make? I've given you multiple examples of women in their 40s, too. Do you also think that women below 40 can't get fat?!

Jesus wept. I'm going to have to follow nailclippers on this one and bow out. You're making such bizarre claims and it's all just getting silly now.

Enjoy your cake (or not), I'm off to do some writing then get an early night for my excessive exercise routine in the morning!

I don't think anything unless they're wearing too tight clothes and too short skirts and a crop top then I recoil inside

What 😂, I literally have been slim until 40s, I'm completely fed up of the lies that I'm your 40s it is basically excessive exercise or lack of food that keeps you very thin. It is too much time but anyway I've wasted enough time on this you are right there.

Ahhhh, now it all makes sense. There's some serious denial going on and so much of it is projecting her own dislike onto other people.

Again sorry but you are in your thirties no doubt with young DC the way you are going on about good examples. Live and let live and all that but maybe stop being so judgemental as not a great example to your DC.

For some reason the well known poster of two days nailclipper has edited my quotes that said I like cake as hoc and left out his from my posting history this:

We have a cake club at work and withdrew membership as I am not a massive fan of cake, they all had

I wonder why?

"as does my DH who is an amazing cook but as a PP said for us that hasn't meant weight loss, the food is loads blander for that."

Do you not read what you write?

Anyway, there's your answer. If you think changing your diet is going to zap the enjoyment out of things, then hey ho.

My DH is Norwegian. He makes loads of interesting food. My favourite foods to cook are Asian. Again, loads of interesting food. I don't know why you keep bringing up culture. No one's saying you need to live off mashed potato.

I don't deny that but most people on there saying not bother as genes. Why are you linking threads and AS me so weird and such bad form but maybe you don't know that is you have only posted yesterday nd today 🤔

I don't think healthy food equals bland, when did I say that. DH and I were talking about how we like food that tastes good and we both have different cultural inputs with our cooking so it is not bland lucky for us but he does like to make too much probably. Again, in our 30s we didn't think about it, in our twenties pre-children we are loads but you are right we have to adapt in our forties but it just zaps the enjoyment out of most things.

Her arguments are becoming more and more peculiar! There must be something in the (non existent, apparently) cake!

Not a massive food reduction and not an insane amount of exercise like you're claiming though. Dear God this is going in circles.

So you are a great sensationalist do you work for The Sun as what I think is funny is that you have omitted the 'ad hoc" but about the cake post and pulled it out of context and you failed to refer to other posts about cake like this one from me:

How strange that you went to these lengths. You also have a posting history of 28 posts is that like today and yesterday? New are you. I have been on here for years of course I'm going to post.

Sure. You also said your exercise is a bit of walking and you and DH couldn't dream of re-looking at your diet. Or something like that.

A hint: when something stops working, for example the exercise or diet you currently have, there's usually a reason. Maybe you're eating more than you think. Maybe it is just age, who knows. But when that happens people who want to generally change things if it's important enough to them.

I've got a friend who's recently decided to take up weight training because she's feeling like yoga isn't enough for her at the moment. She's 42. Another friend has ditched all UPF's. My sister had a change in jobs a few years back, and decided to get a dog to make sure she was getting plenty of walking in - her old job was in walkable distance to her house. I bought a standing desk during the pandemic when I first started WFH, so I'd not be tempted to sit on the couch.

If you think healthy food = bland, I don't know what to tell you.
