Yeah but now apparently you give off that "fat stormtrooper" vibe.

I keep forgetting to tell this story...

I was at Cedar Point the other day (local amusement park that the rest of you are unfortunate to not live near), people-watching as the wife and kid rode some ride I wasn't interested in.

Checking out fine asses in yoga pants as they walked by... on girls... and suddenly I saw two people, and I wished I'd had my camera out and ready for y'all.

Picture this:

A woman wider than she was tall pushing a stroller. Probably 5 feet tall and easily 350 pounds. I didn't see what was in the stroller. A woman waddling along behind, also wider than she was tall, had to be mom. Same face.

Here's where it gets funny:

Parents already know about this, but the handle of the stroller becomes a great place for putting stuff... usually they have cup holders and compartments right there for the convenience of the person pushing with both hands occupied. Well on the handle of this stroller was a partially eaten huge slice of pepperoni pizza, in one drink holder was one of the large "free refills of soda all day" cups, and in the other drink holder was a can of Pringles. I saw this and thought, "I can't lose weight because I have a glandular problem!" Even my inner thoughts are sarcastic, apparently.

Anyway, god bless, and whatever baby that was in that stroller doesn't have a chance.

On the other hand, here is a success story of a couple people who realized it is a lifestyle change. Good for them.

Sometimes habits rub off on others. In other cases, familiarity breeds contempt.

Right? I was feeling good that morning too. Goes to show you that no matter what reality you believe, there's always a four year old who can show you another.

The people in Philly are much larger than SF. Fucking cheesesteaks, man.

I think cold climates, and lots of.clothes to hide it, encourage the growth of more.fst.

Then you'd be very wrong. The SE is fat as hell compared to any other US region, including the north and New England. With a few exceptions (like MN & FL), the Midwest and SE are the most obese on average. Note: as of 2015, it seems to be a base minimum of 20% of all adults in every state.

Racist

Which race? Unless you mean "racist" as in "bias towards foot racers" who may also be defined as "runners."

We all know the SE has more black and brown people, you racist.

Obesity map:


Race map:


1) While Louisiana, Mississippi, and Georgia (quite black according to the second map) are definitely in the Fat Belt, we must also consider the tremendous horseshoe-shaped Fat Zone that stretches from North Dakota down to Texas and saturates most of the Midwest by wrapping all the way back up to Cheeseconsin and Michigan. Perhaps it has something to do with some of the abhorrently repellent cuisine traditions down there.


2) West Virginia is absurdly fat and non-black.

3) Virginia is quite black and relatively fine. In fact, once you get past the train wreck that's West Virginia, everyone except non-black Pennsylvania and non-black Maine seem ok.

Is target still losing money since they stopped segragating restrooms?

Look, if you live in the South you don't go running outside during the day because it's just too damn hot. Especially in Louisiana. Swamps are not for jogging in, y'all. No, you stay in the AC and get fat.

That's why the Duck Dynasty beards are such a joke. I grow mine out during the winter, but people that spend a lot of time outside in the summer trim them way back.

There are logic problems with that image, but not as many as some folks want you to believe.

Anyone wanting a treadmill should NEVER buy one new. They are for sell everywhere with very little use for very cheap. They get used less than any other exercise device after being bought.

Yeah, I got mine used by trading a bass guitar and amp for it. It was not a good bass guitar and amp.

There are many problems with that image, not the least of which is a tendency to cause temporary blindness.
