Some people like being chubby?
I think some try, but you have to remember losing weight isn't easy(initially-psychologically). You have to correct a life time of bad eating habits until good habits persist as normal.
Saffron can help with that.i try. then the cravings and not feeling full become unbearable

Look food habbits are not the way to lose weight. As long as you dont gorge yourself on a regular basis and stay away from trans fats and other garbage, all you gotta do is excersize. I don't mean jogging on a treadmill or something stupid like that, but find a physical activity that you enjoy. Paintball, skiing, martial arts, etc are all great physical activities with moderate to strenuous physical exertion; I knew a guy when I was doing brazilain jujitsu that dropped a good twenty pounds after three or four months of classes. I myself lost thrity pounds in one season of high school lacrosse. I still eat all the rich, fatty, salty, unhealthy food that I want, I just excersize as well.
This. People tend to think by "dieting" you need to starve yourself and just eat a lot of skinless chicken and veggies all the time, which isn't the case. I like to think of "dieting" as "eating smarter". Every now and then I'll have fast food, a chocolate bar, and what not, but I obviously don't eat it everyday.Look food habbits are not the way to lose weight.

You're not suppose to eat until you're full. You're also suppose to be hungry a good hour or two before you eat. It's called an appetite.
It's normal.

I eat some really crappy foods, I just don't eat a lot in one setting. It's rare a finish a fast food meal (burger and fries). It's not that I'm belly-busting full, I just stop eating when I feel satisfied.
I also bust ass most days, either at my house or my parents.
I'm fully convienced it's not what you eat (calories are calories), it's how much and what you do between meals.
If you don't put in a couple of hours of physical labor every day (walking doesn't count) and eat 3 full meals a day, getting fat is a given.

YumAnd crabs are basically the bugs of the sea. Giant ocean roaches that crawl on the ground eating fish $***. Oh, people won't eat frog legs or fried scorpions because that's weird, and then they have no problem gobbling down on the bugs of the sea. And don't even get me started on oysters (especially the raw ones). That is literally some of the nastiest stuff in the world, and people go for it as if it was crack. I just don't get it. Not only does it have the taste and texture of a big glob of salty snot, but it's the raw crap collectors of the sea. If crabs are the roaches of the sea because they crawl around eating $***, at least people cook crabs. Not so with oysters. Those things are filter feeders, they gobble up anything including $***. People then eat those things WHOLE (including the whole digestive tract, which is just packed with $***), and they don't even bother to cook it first. It's just "here's a big pile of $***, I'm gonna stuff it into my mouth". Nastiest crap ever. But hey...apparently people think it tastes good. I don't understand that AT ALL, but it's not any of my business.That looks fvcking disgusting.

Crabs/Lobsters aren't insects, so they can't rightly be called 'bugs'. But they are bottom-feeders, and both taste like heaven with a little garlic butter.
Clams...only good in chowder.
Love lobster too dave123321
Why does the pink pony in your sig have no neck or head? And that other one has it's eyeballs pulled out?
I know that crustaceans aren't bugs, I also know that most insects aren't even bugs. Doesn't matter. I'm using the word in the (incorrect) popular sense. Roaches aren't bugs either, but people sure as hell won't eat them because "ew, eating bugs is nasty".Crabs/Lobsters aren't insects, so they can't rightly be called 'bugs'.

The headless pony is behind the yellow pony. It's there. Just blocked. I think the eyeless pony is in the process of blinking or somethingThe headless pony is behind the yellow pony. It's there. Just blocked. I think the eyeless pony is in the process of blinking or something dave123321
I wish my blinking looked like that. :(

Haven't had roaches, but I've had grasshoppers.

Me too. The eyeless look just seems to be caused at pausing the scene at a certain moment that makes it look odd. Though the demon look isn't noticeable when watching that moment.and both taste like heaven with a little garlic butter.br0kenrabbitAnyway, I got sidetracked before by talking about what does and does not make up a "bug". My whole point was that pretty much ANYTHING can seem nasty if one gets too bogged down in the concept of it. Yeah...eating chicken periods absolutely sounds disgusting in concept. But apparently, many people (including me) think that it tastes absolutely delicious. *shrugs* What can I say? Some people like stuff that other people hate, and there's no understanding to be done other than simply realizing "different strokes for different folks." I have this thing for sucking on crawfish heads. Nasty? Yeah. But what can I say? I just plain like it.

My primary reason for it was simple two years ago. I was in great shape prior before a car accident that derailed my life upside down--long story not going to bother to tell. I asked myself these two questions: Will life be 'better' if I was fit? Will life be 'happier' if I was still fit? Both basically ended up with a resounding "no". 4 years later (going into the fifth) and now I'm currently working off the fat--lost a little over 50+ lbs already. Obviously, both those questions are now answered "yes". Life has changed and the hell from the car accident is now just a distant memory.
Oh, another fat thread, haven't seen one of those in a while. Ah OT, nothing but threads about fat people, Islam and gun control.
Should fat people own guns? Take this guy for example - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jgGK4NJ8Hk
He could fire an M60 from the hip without being affected by the recoil. What if the person working at McD's mess up his order? What's stopping him from going on an unstoppable rampage?
He's like Blob, projectiles won't pierce his indestructible layer of fat. What if he converts to Islam and joins a terrorist organization? Think of the damage he could do in the name of Allah.
I did lose the weight. Took me a year, but I went down from 306 to 173.:D It's not as easy as people make out to be. Some of us aren't athletic, lazy, like to eat a lot, but when you determine to change your lifestyle then anything is possible.
