Well, thanks for those words of wisdom. Next time you're dishing them out you might want to consider the hell of trying and failing to breast feed. ...


As a nurse I am aware of the failure modes of breastfeeding. Assuming no problems like mastectomies or HIV, many of the difficulties relate to nipple and technique problems. But the most common problem was "DontWannaDoItItis". Technique problems are easily fixed with proper training of both the mother and the baby. Nipple problems can be gotten around with good quality breast pumps (not the cheapie "Jack-The-Ripper" pumps put out by the formula companies). But there is no cure for "DontWannaDoItItis" which seems to be hereditary.

Most of the latter view failure to breast feed as no big deal. Just as people who smoke 2 packs a day don't think what they do will have any consequences either. Its very sad. At least smokers who only smoke outside will pay the consequences themselves. With the former, its the child that will pay the consequences.

What's even sadder is that hospitals take bribes from the formula companies to give ALL new mothers a free care package when they leave that includes a nice tote bag, enough formula for two weeks and a stack of coupons to buy more formula - all to cause the mother to dry up to the point where breast feeding is no longer an option. :x

So yeah, unless a mother has an overwhelming reason not to breastfeed their babies, they should make every attempt to do so. The negative consequences to the child are overwhelming. Obesity is just one of many.

That is because your body sends off various cues that can effect how people view you. Then there's the "beauty" standard that i won't get into.

Suffice it to say that historicly, humans of both gender are prone to various problems regarding weight issues. One of the "cues" that help us to tell if a person is in good health is called the hip to waist ratio (and it applies for males too, although due to society, we can still get the upper hand while being fat). In general though, this ratio can tell if a person is prone to weight related issues. =/

There are other "cues" but in general, good health is telling that a woman will be able to carry through pregnancy and deliver a healthy baby. =/

That's about all i got... =.=

I don't see what's with all these fat people complaining that they can't get a date. All you gotta do is change your diet and exercise more. It's not like you were born with cleft lip or something.

well, I can say that many are born with some of that, given that it is a genetic predisposition to gain more weight than other people, so that is the case when they may eat the same food that you do or even less than you do, and causing them to gain more weight than others, so the issue is, to some degree, a matter of luck. And taking diets and doing exercise, depending on the situation, for the solely purpose of being liked is too much of an effort, that I personally think is not that worth doing.

It's guys like you that makes me lose hope in me ever being happy.

well, the only reason that I find to be worthy of doing such an effort is for the sake of your own health, which I would consider more important.

Has anyone here saying they cant lose weight tried the Gabriel method? Google it. You probably have an emotional obesity problem.

Hmmm....you don't seem to have listened to what I said, but as I don't want to derail this thread I'll pm you about this later. Suffice it to say I agree with you that breastfeeding is the best, and that was what I had intended to do, and put much effort into (every 3 hours for 5 weeks), but still failed. Or rather, my son refused to breastfeed.

Oh, and I'm in Scotland where the midwives aren't allowed to provide information about bottle feeding or formula, far less give out packs of formula.

If you are saying the problem was your son, then what happened when you tried to pump? While actual breastfeeding is best, pumping is also a good substitute because its still mothers milk.

I didn't know that about Scotland. I wish the US would become as enlightened. We would have a whole lot fewer fat people.

Erisad, glad to come back to this thread and see you so positive about things. You seem to be really motivated and doing great. :D


Thanks Marcia. I guess something finally clicked in me. My birthday's coming up on Wednesday so that'll be a real test to see how dedicated I am. I asked my mom to make me birthday cupcakes instead of a cake for portion control and that the frosting be made from fat free cream cheese. Granted, I'll still only have one but I don't want it to derail me completely. :D

I don't hate fat chicks, I just avoid them. Like aids. They are unhealthy. I have never met an interesting fat person. I don't know why, this just seems to be the case. Fat people are naturally unappealing. It is possibly natures way of punishing people who eat too much meat or people who don't take care of their bodies.

As usual you are full of crap. Wouldn't you say that you hate aids? Or does aids have a greater purpose in your opinion? And what does meat have to do with it? I've known fat vegetarians.

Why would I hate aids? Why would you hate anything? I have never known a fat vegetarian. ever. It's impossible. Eating meat, we are cannibals. We are animals eating animals.

Okay so you are telling me that carnivore is a redundant term used to describe cannibals?

Oh and I might add on the subject of fat vegetarians

Why did you say THAT cow? Are you implying that there are fat cows? I guess that's not a strong argument because there could be cannibal cows. Also that cow is disgustingly fat by human standards. Belly hangs out, probably shakes half way from side to side with each step.

Ive known lots of fat vegetarians, there would not be a 'vegatarian low carb diet cook book' if there were not lots of fat vegetarians. I was even fat when I was a vegan, I could make a lovely vegan chocolate cake :?

I don't think people should have to defend or appologise for what they are attracted to. It's kind of a biological wiring. Not really something you can control.
