I love your site. Keep doing what your doing. I found your website when i googled MeMe Roth. I have no idea why she is attacking The Girls Scouts. I am a girl scout and it make me really upset that she is doing this. I think that women has alot of issues. Attacking little girls wont do nothing.

Hi all,
I’m the dad of a 21 y.o. young lady who I see spiralling out of control weight wise, and feel powerless to do anything about it. While she was a little chubby through her middle to late teens, in the past year or two she has started to put on weight very fast. She is over 300 lbs now. I’m concerned about her health, both physical and mental. I know she as depression issues, but she doesn’t understand why. I’ve tried to get her to see a therapist, but cannot get her to take the final step and show up for a session. She was date raped, sort of, when she was about 15, but I don’t believe this is the cause of her depression. I say sort of, because from what little she has told me, I believe it was alcohol influenced, and to a certain extent, regretted after the fact rather than or as much as resisted before or during. Not sure though.

Though I’ve not said much to her about her weight, other than a couple times saying I was concerned for her health (all the women on her mother’s side – but not her mother – are big women and have diabetes), I feel I need to do or say something, but don’t know what. Would positive incentives be effective – i.e., money for each pound lost; promise of a carribean trip when she meets a goal, etc??
What can I do?

Any advice would be appreciated.
Joe

Glad to see a group of fat girls who aren’t afraid of the word fat. btw I can use the word fat because I am a fat guy.

I have become disillusioned by the so-called “size acceptance” “movement” because as a five foot two inch man, I have found far more “reverse discrimination” (for lack of a better term) from fat women in BBW groups than from fat women in the bdsm, SCA, and polyamorous communities. Go figure.

I’m completely about fat acceptance. I don’t recommend anyone go under gastric bypass surgery. And i believe that the reason 65% of americans are plus size is because our food is being tainted with chemicals from the drug companies. The same companies who are then selling us weight loss supplements. I think it’s a crock of sh..t. Anyway, i started to eat organic only. And im going to a nutritional response testing councelor in PA. She’s helping me get healthy and feel better. Its more about health to me then about weight issues. I want to be able to feel more energetic. anyway..i highly recommend anyone to do nutritional response testing. I’m feeling much better and it’s only been 3 weeks. Good luck to all of you!

Here’s a gotcha for you.

I’m a middle aged man, mid-to-late 30’s.

My LDL is in the 80’s, my HDL is above 60, which is considered optimal. My Resting blood-pressure is 123/76, my resting pulse is around 70.

I do 3-4 miles a day on the treadmill, feel great, and can still sprint up four flights of stairs without wheezing too badly at the top.

I’m also pushing 300#. Go figure. I could look better, but generally happy with who I am (until someone comments on it, at which point I can get a little self-concious about it)

The irony is that *I* can’t get health insurance. While some 135# rail-thin guy whose heart is about to give because his BP is 160/100 can.

The world isn’t fair.
