OT: Now I've heard it all - FAT PEOPLE CAUSE GLOBAL WARMING!

LOL!!!!!  OK guys, this chick has LOST it completely! If you will see my post from today, I am FAR from fat - and I eat 6-7 meals and around 3000-3200 calories - so what is this bimbo talking about??  LOL..... Yes, only the FAT people are to blame for all the World's ills.....LOL!!!! Thanks for this great post! - Mike

> I eat 6-7 meals and around 3000-3200 calories - so what is this bimbo talking about?? Granted, you're about 4 years out, but how do you manage to eat so many calories a day?  (Yes, if you work out, you might need that many calories, but at 6 mos. out and not bodybuilding (yet! ), it's hard for me to imagine being able to do that!) /Steve

HI THERE, Steve!!! GREAT question - - and I am here to say that eating after WLS is a reality, and it's wonderful... I eat 6-7 meals a day (not mini-meals, real meals), of which 2 of those are 58gram special protein shakes, which already account for 800 calories.  As a matter of fact, the food program and menu that I follow is very specific, and is under the EAS guidelines for "Building Mass & Strength", so it is essentially a bodybuilder's "diet"...  For a really explicit look at my eating during the day, go to my webpage and take a look at some of the earlier BLOG entries.  My page can be found here: http://www.bodyforlifestyle.com/mikesbodyforlife How do I get all of that food in?  Well, I will try and explain it the way my doctor did to me, when I panicked and discovered that I could eat large portions again. At first I thought that I had "stretched out my pouch to a huge size", which is commonly thought by patients that are this far out and can eat larger portions.  But, he did a scope on me, and explained that in fact, my STOMA (the opening between the pouch and the intestines) relaxed over time - and this is quite common - and that my intestine is now "acting" as my "new stomach", so I can eat whole plates of food again.  This was very scary at first, but later I learned more about it and how normal it can actually be.... You see, in some patients, this could result in a regain of weight - in which they will then go in and perform a revision and make the opening smaller, etc.  But in some patients, they have learned through proper diet and exercise to live with it successfully and that is the group that I fell into! :)  THAT is how I eat everything. Also, there are some strict specifics that I do NOT eat.... such as: White flour or processed flour products sugars of any types heavy starches processed unhealthy fats So, take a look at my early blog entries and you can get a better idea of how I eat all that food LOL :) :) :) Have a terrific day, and thanks for posting!!! - Mike

I copied my response to another thread on the same subject:

Maybe it is just me, but I did not find that news clip very funny at all. As a matter of fact, it reminded me of all the "fatophobes" out there who go out of there way to make obese people's life more miserable than it already is.

Sad as it may be, one of the top 10 reasons that prompted me to put my life somewhat at risk and have WLS, was the reality that there are some very hard times ahead for the obese people of the world, thanks to the ignorant and agressive fatophobes.

I agree that was not funny. The problem is it is another way to discrimanate against overweight people. This whole notion of global warming is nothing but a way to increase taxes and scare people into giving up more of their rights. I think that these people who think we as people can destory this planet are ignorant. The earth is always changing and man can not effect that they say what about nuclear bombs well we dropped two on japan and have done alot of other testing and so have the soviets and the chinese and the earth is still here. If these nuts want to give up their way of life let them but they have no right to tell me I can;t have steak for dinner or drive my pick up because it uses to much gas IMHO they can stick their goofy political thoughts where the sun doesn't shine.  If you can not tell I am proud to be a conservative and think as long as the general public listens to these nuts we will continue to over pay for gas and over pay for electric and other resources. Lets untie the hands of americans and we will develope what is needed to continue to live the lifes we as americans are use to. I am done preaching for now. Bill

Well I wonder how much global warming could be attributed to her blow dryer, crack pipe, and thunderous "quiffs" 

Perhaps I should have stated my position better. I agree that the message against obese people is NOT funny. I thought the absurdity that someone would actually get on TV and spout that garbage was hilarious. Talk about making herself look stupid, she did a really good job of it.

Fox and their conservative message or CNN and their extremely liberal message....what makes the difference it all amounts to the same thing as near as I can see. 

Thanks for the responses guys.  I too found it funny and disturbing.  I found it funny that this airhead would go on national tv and make an absolute ass of herself.  I find it disturbing in that people can actually believe it.  I tell you what.  Let's go on tv and blame all the skinny folks for winter!  I don't deny that "global climate change" exists and will continue to exist as long as the earth is around.  My problem is with all these egocentric people that think that we can control everything on the planet (come to think of it, didn't that same type of mentality exist around galillios (pardon spelling) age?  I guess that same type of thought is comming around again.  Well, I yield my remaining time on the soapbox to you fine gentlemen.

I totally agree with her...I am contributing to global warming...Cuz  I'm frickin  HOT!!!  (har,har,snort, snort!)
