Fat girls on the Bus

Main question: Confused

How is it that they can commit to time consuming make-up regimen, and expensive outer acessories, but not to jogging 20mins a day, (which is arguable all one needs, as long as there's consistency) Confused


On the bus today:

Saw around, counted, 22x "big" girls while riding the campus buses between classes.

I notice many of them have very complicated make up scenarios,, foundation, mascara, liner, shadow (feathered), toner, bronzer, nude lip, etc etc..

Also, many wear a decent amount of middle brand clothing, lots of BR mainly, they're relatively young after-all.


SO, all of this cost money and time, the make up well exceeds 20 mins in most of these cases,

And their cloths are obviously not cheap either...

As opposed to someone who takes it upon themselves to catalog what's wrong with others and start a thread complaining about it?

Oh yeah, clearly you're familiar with philosophizing.

Nope, someone else was

No, you did it to them. You're some creepy little dude that has some sort of inferiority complex, but instead of being comfortable in your own skin, you have to tell others what's wrong with them in order to make yourself feel better.

Feel better yet?

I've always felt good about myself, except when in face of food poisoning one time

And you're still a huge hypocrite.

not at all, i practice everything i've mentioned, i've merely substituted certain exercise for others

Are you to assume ALL of them do not?

The point is... IT'S NONE OF YOUR FARKING BUSINESS!
Um... no,, but i was merely wondering why they would rather be buying makeup than spend the same resources on a workout

Iagree

What's next OP? Wanna hang out in bars and tell everyone they're alcoholics and they need to stop drinking? Or how about lashing out at smokers? Or drug addicts?

Give him 10 years at the most before he ends up in therapy trying to figure out why all his relationships fail and he can't hold down a job.

LOL, way to assume the worst,, you're really enlightened,, socrates ftw

dweeby, perhaps,, acne problem,, ahh,, never had that many,, only occasionally, it was never a problem,, i have no pock marks.

FOR the last time,, I did NOT lash out,, you guys did it to yourselves

I am commited to improvement, but I am hitting diminishing returns, any improvement probably won't net me much greater body image. So yes, it has slowed

---- this is nonetheless far further a point than the bigger girls i met on the bus, where much improvement could be made

Well i mentioned why girls may be better suited to jogging, as they can eventually be much lighter,, so prolonged legwork may not be as harsh on their joints..

and my hip is a case specific thing...

Are we to assume ALL the big girls on that bus has a medical condition inhibiting exercise / diet??[/QUOTE]

Please attempt a more challenging curriculum to curb the shallowness of your existence. Eating disorders are considered brain disorders - chemical imbalances in the brain. Depression is often a root cause of over-eating or poor eating. Socio-economic class also plays a role. Take Environmental Science 102 and watch more PBS to learn why.[/QUOTE]

Eating disorder, um.. it's only a disorder if it REALLY gets in the way.. but my exercise routine is every other day,, and my meals are so simple that it really conserves a great amount of time,,

I haven't had cable for a while..

I get at what you're saying about the influence about psych and econ, however,,

the general distilled information on how to be fit is certainly out there already in great detail...

Good! This is progress. Makeup can be found in Walgreens or Walmart for pretty cheap. Gym memberships run on average of $50 a month. That doesn't include workout wear, gas/bus fare, etc... It all adds up.

And I'm sure quite a few suffer from malnutrition and have an alcohol problem... what's your point?


You want fat girls to sub out the food for not eating and an alcohol addiction? Sounds real healthy. You sure know a lot about health and nutrition! Thumbup

Just so I'm clear:

You posted a question, I posted an answer to your question. I used your own actions to bolster the validity of my answer. This is being a troll?

I've tried to be pretty even in my arguing, but now I think it's time to point this out: you are either a troll, or a farking idiot. Please let me know so I can just label you and move on.

Gee, I wonder why! What girl doesn't love some little oompa loompa telling her what's wrong with her and how to improve her physical appearance?
