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...

Actually, I started to read the posts but I had to stop because it was kinda pissing me off. I see what you were meaning from your OP, you want to know why girls get dolled up but don't take the time to work on their weight. Valid point. You never mentioned anything super mean, so I took it as that. Don't worry about these other people coming in and getting so pissy and uptight.

I used to be very, very skinny. Sick skinny. About the same height but around 110-115lbs and small boobs. I then got older (hit my 20s) and married and hit about 150lbs and got nice boobs. Then I got very sick and went on a ton of steroids which made me hit 220. Now I am 210 after trying to work off some of this weight.

I will just tell you this: you might not know the whole story. If you saw me on the bus, you would think that I need to jog, would you not? I do though. I work on it. I also go to the gym even when I am in severe pain due to my condition, like I was today. I felt like crying at work most of the day because of how bad I hurt and how bad I felt. I still went to the gym on my lunch break and did 30 minutes on the elliptical. So you may be thinking that they are not doing anything to benefit themselves, but they very well may be doing just that.
I apologized several times if others interpreted my post in that light.. and extend that to you, sry bout that.

But, all i wanted to say was, 20 mins here is better elsewhere.

there are things that i do not see, and i have not denied this... others have put a spin on my words that spiraled into 10 plus pages worth of hate posts.look around

And I saw that, which is why I stopped reading. You have to realize that even if people say they are not insecure, they are. If you were truly fine or okay with how you are looking, you wouldn't get that pissed.

That being said, if I ever, ever get like that chick you mentioned I'll die from the amazement. Whooo abs.

Uh, I'm fat and I can last more than 20 minutes on a treadmill... just sayin'. I did 30 on the elliptical today on an incline and with resistance and didn't let myself slow down. That was not only fat, but in pain and tired already.

Yeah. I wish I was allowed to do crunches, but alas, I am not. But I am doing better on weights. I started on 75lbs for legs and I am up to 130lbs this week. Arms started at 25lbs and I am up to 60lbs. That was pretty exciting.

weights is very good for slimming, if not better than cardio, because muscle repair for heavy lifting burns energy for up to 48 hours post workout.

the only drawback is that if you are keen on "lady-like" then it IS true that heavy weights will give you veiny arms. (once ur slim)

I think it is superficial to point and say veiny arms are unladylike,, and this is a true issue of vanity...


to all u h8ters that are churning insults,, i never said being a big girl was unladylike. i was concerned about underlying causes and opportunity costs

The weight loss itself is slower though, because you are building the muscle, so I feel like I hit my "plateau" super early. It is really, really frustrating.

A side note here. I told my husband about this thread and we agreed that your point is totally valid, however, DH says "dude, you don't dress up like bacon and walk into a bear den" Roll

thx, ur positive input is much appreciated

also, Don't worry about the loose skin which you will be seeing. My friend had a few "flaps" so to speak, after he lost weight after back surgery

As long as you are consistent and lose the weight naturally, the flaps will go away.. at worst you could get them tailored.Big Grin

But you said you didn't read the posts. If you had you'd see that no one was being that way. If that were true, Serra would have axed this thread in a heartbeat.

Quote from tp4tissue :
i don't mind big girls at all... they're fine as they are.. but if they denyyy that they can improve,,, then we have a problem
You have a problem and now you're backpedaling. Did you ask the 22 girls on the bus if they were trying to lose weight? No. You judged them based on appearance.
