Things you wouldn't admit to in real life

[TwinklyFawn]

Light hearted. I dislike my mum's boyfriend. I am sick of his constant grunting when i ask him a question. It is like he is incapable of saying yes or no to a simple question. He is a terrible bus driver. He drives like he is on a race track.

I don’t think my boyfriend is right for me. He’s boring and lacks personality some of the time. 50% of the time he’s ok. The sex is good.

The similarity is, that’s is using artificial means to get the same results as someone having to really cut back proactively and doing it naturally.

I don’t think most slim people have eating disorders, but they know if they eat more calories than they burn off they’ll end up overweight.

That’s good if you can stop it affecting your life and focus on your own lovely family of DH and DC.
I had similar issues with my siblings manipulating my father to cut me out of his will. Karma caught up with them as he lost most of his money in a bad investment so they sold their souls to the devil for a few thousand quid in the end. I expect they are working on my mother now but I’m NC with them all.
Wishing you all the best x

My mum tolerates a very rude family member. They’ve been nasty and miserable their whole life, now in their 80s my mum visits them several times a week so she’ll be left in the will. She won’t admit it, but I know that’s the reason. I think “Fair enough”.

I had a boss I ended up hating because he was a bastard . I didn't start out hating him. But he was a bastard. A nasty, sinister, loathsome bastard. With fingers so deep in loathsomeness and so far into The Establishment that he was untouchable. He required coffee at 11 and tea at 3. After I realised what a bastard he was, I spat in each one of his drinks. At 11 and 3, every day, until I found a new job.

Been there, done it! Then I get worried someone's going to come home unexpectedly and catch me having a binge session!

Sports competitors on banned performance enhancing drugs are cheating because they are competing against other people, using means that are against the rules and give them an unfair advantage.

People on fat jabs are not competing against others - they are taking them to help lose weight and thereby improve their personal health and fitness. Nobody else loses out as a result of this, there is no "injustice" involved, and thus no "cheating".

Surely if the jabs make it much easier for them to lose weight then it's a good idea, as long as it's reasonably safe.

There's a good few people that give out every excuse going as to why their life is shit, whether it be their kids behaviour, their DH/DP moaning or work mates being picks, that I like to say "look in the mirror, there's your answer" to

I’m not interested in news stories about people being killed or dying, even when it’s children.

I feel like a failure everyday, and it’s because of my disability. Please don’t tell me that so and so are also living with a disability and have achieved so much. You never know how someone feels no matter how good it all looks on the outside, plus everyone is different.

i changed my job because we ended up with a POTS clinic….all young young woman…and I hated treating them. I didn’t trust them and felt I had to be so very very careful every single thing I said and did.

It pisses me off how it is almost fashionable to have MH issues these days when I have spent my whole life trying to hide mine when they were a shameful secret which would have destroyed my career if discovered. Real MH issues are so debilitating and not just a touch of anxiety.

I work in a fairly small office (less than 25) where we have a lot of freedom, with virtually zero oversight.

For the past five years, when I've asked to confirm how much leave I have left before the Jan 1st reset, the 'office manager' tells me that I have more than I actually do. I know this because I keep track of mine and my team's leave in a separate Google calendar.

This year for example I have three days left to book, but was told this week that I have 8. The person who tracks it definitely isn't doing it on purpose as they're terrified of breaking rules. They are prone to admin errors, so I'm sure I can't be the only one enjoying this 'perk'.

I desperately want to ask a few of my colleagues if they're having the same experience, but as a senior person at the company, it would obviously look bad.

Also, I don't want to lose the 'perk', or be the reason anyone else does 👀

I am naturally skinny and would struggle to put weight on if I tried, I would have to eat an overwhelming amount of food and barely move day to day. I think most fat people make excuses for their weight, when most of the time it boils down to laziness and lack of self discipline with food. The ones who admit this and don’t care, you have to respect. But the ones who don’t take accountability are tiring to listen to. Just own it. The average UK dress size for a woman is now a size 14, this highlights how deluded we have become to what is considered a healthy weight. And people will defend to the death and scream that a size 14 is not big. It might not be obese but it’s not healthy and slim either.

I am from a country where fast food didn’t exist growing up, we did not have takeaways. Just simplistic veg and meat. The majority of the population is slim, even through our middle and old age.

It really isn’t rocket science.

I don’t think most slim people have eating disorders, either. The valuation of 'rightful suffering' for a slim body is a sign of disorder, as is the moralistic attitude that leads to counting weight-loss drugs as cheating. Nobody's awarding prizes for self-denial, you're not in a monastery.

(FTR, I'm not overweight and I don't use these meds. I did have anorexia, though, years ago.)

What you're saying is equivalent to calling pain medication 'cheating', for instance, or even contraception. Just put up with it and stop complaining! Abstain! You can grit your teeth through it if you want, but it's your personal choice. It doesn't make it wrong to choose kinder options..

Ahh but if it’s on the NHS then it’s the tax payers who are paying towards the dugs to help them lose weight. Someone that’s slim and has a hard time maintaining their weight, because they like high calorie food etc… could feel cheated. Why should they really try and have to make sacrifices with what they eat etc… when they could have a quick fix injection.

It’s not cheating. It’s making it a fair fight.

You’re calling into question the entire NHS model.

Same. I growl inside. #wolfwoman

Here here, I couldn’t agree more!! 🙌

It’s not just junk food that makes people fat. Obesity is a condition that sees a lot of physical changes in the body that also inpact mentally (such permanently amended lutein levels, problems with saiety, cravings that make it so much harder to lose weight and keep it off in many individuals. Saying it’s just lack of willpower is like saying anorexics simply need to eat.

It’s nothing at all like using pain relief, it’s taking responsibility for our own health. I’ll point you to @Jtfrtj post at 01:18 as I’m going to sleep now and their post has nailed it.

I am 49 and have a teenage girl type crush on my doctor. I think about him frequently and fantasise that we are having an affair even though he is married.

They have to do something because as a nation we can’t seem to do it ourselves! Being overweight causing so many health issues

None of these conditions would occur in the first place if they didn’t eat themselves to obesity. The stage you’re talking about is already fat people making themselves fatter. What was their excuse prior to obesity.

Obesity is very much a western and self indulgent problem.
