that's birthday wishes, not Christmas gifts. Nice try though.

so if 36 is an ass, what do you think of 37??

exactly!

#50, let me guess - you're overweight and defensive about it, and thus anyone who rightfully points out that obesity is unhealthy (and disgusting) is just a fraud pretending false concern. No, I don't have an obsession with keeping my body "perfect" (use exaggeration much?) but rather with taking good care of it to live to old age and beyond. Fat people die young, because their bodies and organs are severely overworked and can't maintain themselves. The subject of this FML was about a fat person who was asked by her boyfriend to slim down. Bringing up a totally irrelevant example of a thin person who exhibits unhealthy behavior has nothing to do with the discussion. You haven't a clue what I or anyone else might have said or might say about that example (how do you know I DON'T frequent other forums railing against drinking, smoking and fried foods?); it's just an attempt to deflect the subject with a bogus non sequitur designed to attack someone pointing out uncomfortable truths. As I said in my original post, I don't care if you or anyone else judges me harshly for not finding fat people attractive. I will not be made to feel sorry for considering Katy Perry more beautiful than Carnie Wilson. I broke up with my weight-gaining girlfriend (who didn't have a "glandular problem" or some such BS; she was just too lazy and undisciplined to take care of herself) and found a woman who shares my views about proper weight control and exercise. It's called "living happily ever after" with a compatible significant other. And as for your absurd comment that "I don't know my ex is not perfectly happy being single" - actually, I DO know this is the case, and I DO know that it's because of her obesity. She remains unwilling to take responsibility for herself and get that gym membership. Funny how you see fit to judge people you don't know while spewing incorrect assumptions, as you moan and complain about others doing the same. You'd rather have my ex's life? With your attitude I'm sure you're probably not far from it, and deservedly so. I imagine you bitch at your doctor for advising you to lose weight, because "he just hates fat people." and in case you missed the point of my original post, you wouldn't have an opportunity to be married to someone like me because I wouldn't choose someone who didn't care enough about her body to exercise and keep fit.

lol my apologies, the numbers on my computer looked wonky, I meant 37!

You exercise and eat correctly. While you are pregnant, you need to eat more of certain things that contain particular vitamins and minerals for the baby. Muscle weighs more than fat, which is how you lose "fat" but don't lose weight. You can go down in body fat AND in clothing sizes AND in inches and still weigh the same, or even more. I'd advocate swimming, since you are pregnant. It's low impact. I'd also cut out a lot of the preservative-laden food, eat a lot more fresh fruit and veggies, and go easy on the desserts. Cut out junk food and turn to healthy options if you want to graze during the day. I'm also a huge proponent of weight training. It burns fat while building muscle. Hire a trainer/dietitian if you are unsure of how to go about this.

how is joining a gym priceless?!?!
