Before and After pictures are a huge contrast; not surprised she was divorced within the 5 year time frame between thin and obese.

[dads]

It goes without saying, she was a lot hotter without the pounds. However, she's not really asking anyone to treat her the same or see her as beautiful. It actually sounds like she didn't really like the extra attention she was getting. Obviously, I'm reading this with my male mind, and not accounting for that hamster spinning in her head, but to me, she just sounds happy, which is more than can be said for a majority of women out there. Props to her if this was coming from her heart.

[eradicator]

she doesn't sound that happy, she sounds delusional, she says she only put on 10 pounds. looks more like 50 or 60 at least

The problem with this woman is that her outlook is completely self centered. She only views the world in terms of herself, her own happiness etc. What she doesn't take into account is the long term effect of a lifestyle which causes a gain of 70+ lbs in a few years. She is much more likely to get all manner of terrible diseases and her children will end up having to take care of her when her body starts to crumble. She went from one extreme to another. Why can't she just be happy doing moderate exercise a few times a week and eating a traditional diet. People have been skinny for thousands of years eating real food.

My weight went up and down over the years. Way up, like the bottom photo. Way down, like the top photo. It's been kind of like a rollercoaster, only way less fun. [...]

I attained the physique in the "after" photo after losing one sweet baby girl; after being married, divorced, married; after a half dozen moves; after a broken leg and a broken ankle; after catching a dozen babies not my own as a labor and delivery nurse; after ushering more than a dozen people into death as a hospice nurse.

The other body you see there, the body of "physical hotness," I attained by eating a "plentiful" 1,000 calories a day; by running 35 miles a week (10 on Sunday); by sleeping an average of three hours a day; by counting every bit of food I ate, down to a single cherry tomato; by writing and tracking my weight every day for a year; by running the stairs of the hospital during my 12-hour shifts; by losing my period; by denying myself food when I was hungry; by denying myself sleep.

Shame that, either because she didn't know how or because of too many pressures in her life, she didn't attain a healthy balance. Sleeeping too little doesn't make you lose weight, but rather is conducive to obesity. Tons of cardio and a starvation diet probably screwed up her metabolism; her weight yo-yoing up and down, the same.

I do have sympathy for women whose bodies aren't naturally inclined to slimness, who have to go to such extremes to be slim. But I am not interested in dating them.

The article still smells of hamster.

Quote:

Maybe a few of you will say I'm fat.

Maybe a few of you will say, you look happy and healthy.

I am both of those things.

"Both" refers to two things. There's three things mentioned there: fat, happy, and healthy. The two that she chooses are fat and happy. As a "nurse" - we'll get to that in a second - I'm guessing she didn't have the guts to go out and inspire hilarity by saying she was all three. You can choose fat and happy, but it'll only last for a while. Because you're creating your happiness by eating, eventually your body will start paying you back for the abuse. At the end of the day, happiness has to come from internal sources and mindset, not from the triggers of food - something the Red Pill preaches pretty consistently.

Quote:

You want to really blow people's minds? Try this at home: Be fat and happy. Be unapologetically fat. Wear a bikini, and mean it. Eat pizza and ice cream and enjoy it. Drink up your life and a bottle of wine, and make no apologies.

A welfare state encourages this approach to life. Treatments for the health problems that accompany and follow this approach to life - diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, heart attack, gout, etc - are paid for predominantly by other healthy people.

Tough. You chose your profession and you chose your jobs within that profession. Perhaps if you had been a tad more interested in looking after your husband and your kids than frantically running on the 'career' hamster wheel you wouldn't have had that additional "stress".

My medication changes (to treat my bipolar disorder) have resulted in a gain of 10 more pounds since that last photo was snapped.

And there we have it. She was as obsessive about maintaining that physique beforehand as she is about hamstering her "happiness" with it afterwards.

Girls who have mental health issues are ticking time bombs that can blow up in more way than one.

[Old Fritz]

What's with all the bipolar and borderline stuff nowadays? It's either that or some sort of anxiety and depression issue.

"Fat and happy" implies that she's happy because she's fat.

She's actually happy because she's doped up on drugs and, p.s., she's fat too. Maybe if she put her happy pills down she'd be unhappy about what she's let herself become.

[kmhour]

what preposterous ex post facto justification.

by the way, aside from the calorie counting which sounds obsessive, her workout routine consisted of running 35 miles a week? is this supposed to impress us with her dedication? since she ran 10 miles on Sunday, let's hypothesize a 4 day workout routine which would mean the other 3 days she was running a total of 25 miles. at an 8 minute mile pace, that's just over an hour of running per day. are we supposed to be impressed by this herculean effort? for most people this is called "a basic fitness routine".

[kosko]

Its always extremes with women. They either live off rice cakes and vitamin water plus run a marathon each morning, or they eat a diet of deep fried oreos and ice cream. It's never a balance with women.

A normal person can eat normal amounts of calories with some discipline and just being resourceful. A 5 oz. chicken breast, 2 cup spinach salad, 1 cup of rice, glass of V-8, is literally only 450 calories. You can add in some fruit for desert, hardly asking one to kill yourself to eat healthy. Eating normal home cooked food won't make you fat. Show me a woman should be fat eating that meal three times a day?

You can't tell this to women. They are to rabid about snacking, sweets, and take out meals which help them soothe thier other issues mostly related to mental health.

i wanna see a article written about her friend on the right

[jariel]

Once most women reach their mid-30's, they take their foot off the gas on life, then stomp down on death's pedal.

[brick tamland]

Open the link and here's a gem: "THERE'S NO WRONG WAY TO BE A WOMAN"

Kosko is right - girls always follow their mood. Every girl I've 'dated' loved some type or other junk food. One girl made a peanut butter sandwich and had it with coke and called it lunch - I instantly though of patrick holford and glycaemic loads.
The writer of the piece clearly has a disorder of some sort - going from running 35 miles a week and counting calories to being a pig.

[Simeon_Strangelight]

She was likely severely under-nourished getting her 1000 calories / day from crap and running it all off - trying to burn it by not sleeping.

That's just fucking crazy. She is now on psych-meds which usually cause massive weight gains. Also most of those meds don't work so well long-term. Whatever she has will return.

What would have helped would be to change a diet into something nutritious and not count calories, take high-potency supplements and even cut down on exercise a bit.

Getting fat in most women's cases reduces happiness unless they were psychopathic bitches from the onset.

But at least she has produced a cute daughter:



In contrast Banana Girl Freelee - vegan blogger eats 3000 calories a day and looks like that:


And you don't have to be a raw vegan to get a body like that. But I guess she took her diet advice from the AMA and FDA.

[eradicator]

If she is on zyprexa, she may gain weight regardless of what she eats or how much she exercises because the drug screws up the metabolism(it varies case by case), otherwise, it is hailed as a wonder drug. I have not talked to anyone who takes zyprexa who did not undergo a massive weight gain.

ive been on lithium a good 20 years and can function at a high level, but it doesn't work for everyone. or maybe her liver and kidney tests came back and her doctor said she could not take lithium and had to take something else. geodon, seroquel have even shittier side effects, like being unconscious most of the day. same goes for depakote.

going unmedicated isn't much of an option, would be just setting herself up for a manic high followed by a catastrophic crash. I am not unsympathetic, if the rest of her life is in order and she can function only by taking zyprexa and she has tried the rest, by all means she should keep taking it.

There's been a pleasing trend towards high quality thread titles as of late.

I stopped reading upon seeing the website's header:
   

[Horus]

Here are some of the related articles on that website to give an idea of how these strange people perceive reality.

• The Trials And Tribulations Of A Token Pretty Girl
• Strange But True: There's A Disorder Where You Want To Become An Amputee
• Fat Sex: What Everyone Wants To Know But Is Afraid To Ask
• The Trials And Tribulations Of A Token Ugly Girl

It makes me happy to think that from our perspective these articles are hilarious, but from their perspective our articles cause them untold agony and anguish.

[Dark Knowledge]

I want to see how happy she'll be when her husband leaves her for a thinner more attractive woman. Or when she walks into a singles bar and gets no attention from any males.

The idea that maintaining a diet and exercise routine can make you unhappy is insane. There is such a thing as over-doing it, but life is about finding a balance

[BagelConsultant]

She needs to get on a properly balanced diet, maybe do a cycle of Whole30 or something similar (not super-starvation) and exercise & sleep more. That will lead to more permanent lifetime fitness. But who am I kidding, her downward spiral into obesity will continue unabated.

[MMM]

She may be happy. Husband most assuredly is not.

[Grit]

Dieting to women is like game to men.

-Why put the effort to lose weight when I'll just get fat again?
-Why put the effort to game when I'll just revert to beta again?

the solutions are similar too: dieting requires some component of lifestyle change and inner game...she missed the inner game part
