Sadly, Jason, yes you were.
For what it's worth, I'm not in any position to have a go at people's body shapes. I started the thread through boredom, in the hope that some humorous insights would be produced (but since I couldn't do it myself, why expect it from others

).

Let me relay a (I think) funny story about saying things to peoples faces! As well as being big built I am also 6ft 5" tall, a skinhead and have quite a broad Northern Irish accent so am a bit of a scary sight.
I was walking down the high street in Bracknell a few years back after having an argument with my bank manager and I walked toward a group of teenage school boys coming walking towards me about 4 abreast - as I got closer to them I stepped to one side to walk around them but one of them said something like "fat cunt" and then laughed to his mates thinking he was a hard nut!
Now I have had snide remarks made to me all my life and while it always bothered me I never reacted to it before but this time I was in the mood to rip someones head off and I reacted!
I turned around grabbed him by the shoulder, spun him around and glared down at him and asked him what he had said! The guy nearly crapped himself on the spot while his mates all started falling around laughing and to be honest seeing the look on his face I was close to pissing myself too cos he was absolutely shit scared!
I spun it out for a few minutes longer in my best Northern Irish asking him to repeat it and giving him the old if its worth saying once its worth repeating line (which needless to say he didnt!!) - anyway in the end I had to turn and walk away cos I was gonna pee myself it was so funny!
Anyway the moral of the story, like Buttsie said, is if u havent got the balls to say it someones face then dont say it at all - that doesnt just apply to fat people but anytime u have a laugh at someone elses expense and be warned that if u do they just might not be as placid as me!

I?m a cubby bastard. Not big boned, stocky or any of the other euphemisms people adopt to soften the blow for over sensitive fat folk.
There?s a simple reason why I?m fat. I eat like a pig, drink copious amounts of booze, smoke a lot of weed and never take exercise.
I haven?t always been fat, give it six months and I won?t be again. As soon as the Summer arrives, I want to go to the beach to swim, drink and meet chicks, so I?ll do what I always do, stop seeking instant gratification from cake bars, kebabs and beer, and start walking to work.
Despite occasionally swelling to 80?s Meat Loaf proportions, this I know for a fact: Fat people are funny as fuck, and never more so then when they are bitching about it.
I?m not having a dig Jason, you sound like you?ll soon be walking among the beautiful skinny folk. Why do you care about what other people think, Fuck em?
Even when my girth has reached freak show levels, I always rip the piss into people who struggle to fit into a train seat because of their weight. They just look funny?

Self delusion is everywhere even in the so called people with normal body shapes
The best delusion....if you are skinny and don't put on weight after pigging out you can eat anything in whatever amounts
Skinny doesn't necessarily mean healthy
This obsession society has with being skinny is quite ridiculous IMHO
We should be obsessed with being healthy
After all its whats inside that counts Isn't it?
cheers

LOL
Youth have and always will think that they know everything and are therefore bullet proof
All part of growing up
Everybody gets their wake-up call
I got mine when a bouncer dropped me on my head on the footpath after I'd told him what I thought of him while trying to walk out of the hotel with a beer in hand
One wake-up call was enough for me
cheers

hi jason
any hints on losing the inches - i'd like to lose about 4 to 6 - inches off the waist.
have heard that there's such a thing as female 'chubby chasers', but i've yet to meet one.
so if there's any out there??
