No Fat Chicks - Saints in the papers again

[plugger66]

I am just overweight

Fact or your opinion?

Fact in my opinion. 35 inch guts isnt obese I would think but i am 9kg above my marathon running days so yes overweight.

[TJMcCarthy]

the age proves yet again what a fall from grace it has had as a paper. Gutter journalism. One person's call to 3AW reported as fact??? Puuuuhhhhlllleeeaaassee.

I could call into 3AW now and claim that an afl player called me a p00f when i asked for an autograph.

Not a bad idea, just pick your least popular player from another club and make up some garbage for the media to swallow. It's the media that need to be pointed out here and made to look like the disreputable muck raking gossip mongers that they are.

More over;
The new testament- Mathew 18:15 “Moreover if your brother sins (offends) against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ 17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church (media). But if he refuses even to hear the church (media), let him be to you like a heathen (scumbag) and a tax collector (s*** head).

The point i make here is that the ofended woman did not take her problem directly to the source to deal with it. To be fair, she ought to have.

Instead she chose the cowardly self righteous media guilt blame and shame routine. I've got no sympathy for her based on that.

If there is 40 players (young men) on each clubs list that is about 700 in total right? If each player has 10 human interactions a day (shops, postman neighbours etc) , that is about 7000 a day, or 49000 a week. Unless you want to write about everyone of them - good or bad , why would we care or give a rats arse about this one . Seriously.

I bet you'd look hilarious in an umpire's uniform. But seriously does being a fat umpire impact your performance in getting to the contest?

Dont know i am not fat. Does your head nearly burst when you try and use your brain?

You said you were fat. Haven't got a brain, just a keyboard and CPU.

When did i say that?

[Cairnsman]

Ok you used the word overweight, same meaning as the word fat.

I wouldnt have thought so.

I'd like to hear from our cheer squad !
A large proportion of them seem of a large proportion .

I myself am big boned and occassionally suffer the slings and arrows of others , maybe from now on i should complain to whoever will listen to see how much free stuff i can get !

[SainterK]

to criticize people for being fat is short sighted.

Why denigrate the short-sighted?

[SainterK]

A lot more delicately.

Anyway, define overweight?

Not meeting a definition of ideal to some, would be perfectly acceptable to others. If this is true, and the person is say a size 12-14, would you hold the same scorn?

Re-read my original post and it was very intolerant.

I am a reformed fat bloke still oh so slightly overweight however have lost 27 kgs since my heaviest. Mine was lifestyle - lack of exercise and a poor diet.

My definition is a healthy weight, one where your blood tests come back within acceptable limits, where your blood pressure is OK and you are not about to develop type two diabeties.

BMI is a bit misleading. Anyone over 25 on their scale is classed as obese. My BMI is 83kgs for a 25. I am 86kg so defined by that I am obese, however at 83kgs I look drawn and sick.

Body image is a huge issue for young women and an obsession in weight loss is just as unhealthy as being unhealthily overweight.

Chrissie Swan had an article in the papaer a couple of months back where she had basically given up on her weight. In such a young woman, I found that appalling. Her aggressiveness towards her "right" to be morbidly obsese was astonishing (and deluded). Its like smoking, you can do it if it only affects you. However because of our diabeties epidemic (diabeties causes a plethora of other horrible diseases as well BTW), it effects all of us and puts a tremendous health on the already overtaxed health system.

And besides, who doesn't want to look and feel better, and to live longer?

Took me a while to shed my baby weight, even with healthy eating and lifestyle.

Would you have looked at me and judged?

Well ok, the word overweight would probably be the term used in the medical profession and the word fat is probably more widely used outside the medical profession. I don't see the problem with using either of the words by somebody outside the medical profession when describing somebody that is opposite to "underweight" or "exactly the right weight".

[saintspremiers]

Schneider is a bit chubby but still gets and a game and is in our best 22.

So it can't be all that bad

If you think everyone who is overweight is fat then you are really a worry. I am probably 3-4 Kgs overweight. Now if that is fat then I give up. it is a little overweight but that is all. I dont think anyone who saw me walking down the street would say i am fat.

And he is short so a really good example of what can be achieved in life when you have a disability.

But seriously do you reckon there will be a day when an AFL player gets pinged for sledging someone about being chubby.

It is possible the way things are going in this world (and the AFL) that calling someone like Snides a "short pizza eater" could end up at the tribunal as a vilification charge...pffft!

[Mrs_Seaford_Saint]

I feel the need to respond to this - I like to call myself a "reformed" fat chick because the simple fact is I used to be fat ( lost 65kg in 18 months) so I can see both sides

What a fantastic effort M_S_S. I am sure your body thanks you for the strain you have taken off it.

Isn't it a pleasure to throw out all of those "fat" clothes?

However according to the BMI scale you are still obese (like me)

Oi im overweight lol a few more hundred grams and I'm "healthy" - the body has no idea what hit it

This just in
The Afl are celebrating women in football this round .

overweight/fat and walking/waddling. These are but subjective terms however I suppose it doesn't matter what word you use if you say it like, I am 4kgs overweight or I need to lose 4kgs of fat. Same meaning isn't it?

Haven't read all of the 2 threads on SS - but found a BF post on this topic, posted at 2.20 today....

Seems like she's not overweight at all. What is true and what is media beat up?

Bazzar wrote "Total beat up and a attention seeker.

She told Mitchell this morning she was a size 8 who can slip into size 6, so a Saint calls her fat? Yer right.

She told him eating disorders are a serious health issue and shouldnt be taken lightly, thats true, but she also said she had the name of friends or an eating disorder group (or similar) tattooed on her forearm as a reminder and wanted the Saints to go with her to the group?
The skinny xxxx has had her 15 minutes of fame, now she should grab a few big macks and go away never the be heard or seen again."
