So then the answer is give up? And I don't quite get how gyms DON'T work for anyone. Its not rocket science to lose weight folks. Burn off more calories than you consume. Eat veggies and complex carbs. Don't eat white bread or white rice or white pasta. don't drink soda. That's it. Don't tell me there's some reason you can't do that.
You are assuming that everyone can AFFORD a gym membership when you state it that way. Yes I am overweight but I am also unemployed at the moment so paying for a gym membership is not high on my list of expenditures. Due to the unemployment I am losing my house so I moved in with my son and daughter in law. I contribute to the grocery bill but their house so they cook what they want, yes they are heavy but they are comfortable with it so they don't always cook healthy meals. I cannot afford to go buy extra groceries to eat healthy, I do try to watch the amount of food I take in but that only goes so far. Just so you know I used to work in a production plant and warehouse worker and I was a lot skinnier but due to my knees starting to wear out I took an office job for the last 18 months which is where the weight gain came in, it was also a lower paying job than what I had before so I had to cut back on expenses.
MY point is though, that you would not even look my way since I don't wear the high dollar suits and I have a weight problem, you write me off as having a dysfunctional personality without ever getting to know me because you have judged the book by the cover. I happen to think I am a reasonably intelligent older male with a lot of redeeming qualities, you would never know that because you would look at me and see my stomach and judge me not worthy. The creepy thing was thrown about earlier and one of the things that was mentioned repeatedly was respect, well sadly I am not feeling very "respected" at the moment.
I guess I will go hang out on the overweight older men thread, I understand now what Grace meant when she said she was done here. I may read the thread but I am thinking seriously that I am done posting on it for a while.
