The FAT Chronicles

Yes, she's a sturdy girl, but it's not like she's orca fat. Besides, who sez she wants to be your role model? If she can get 1% of the people NAAFA represents to begin exercising and moving toward a healthy lifestyle, she's helping them far more than you have.

oh, so you think it's right a fitness company gets sued because they dont want someone who is obese representing their company that promotes fitness? with that attitude, i should go saw off my legs and try to become a dance instructor and then sue cause no one will higher me.

she was hired because the instructor saw her as capable of performing her job... not based on what she looked like.

the fact of the matter is, the fucking company will lose money by having her on staff. people do not want a person like that for a fitness instructor. lets be real here.
 
p0ink, let me ask you a question? you seem like this really makes you upset? why is that? Usually if something makes me upset that I have no control over I try to not let it bother me. Just checking.
 
Lawsuit or no lawsuit, if she's proven she can teach according to Jazzercise's fitness standards, then she should able to teach. We talk all the time about genetic limits here (think Natty vs. Gear arguments), but it can't apply to this woman? She knows what her body's limits are. It sounds like she's worked hard. So she doesn't share the same goals as you.

As far as the "right-ness" of a lawsuit goes ... if there's a statute protecting her, then she's got a right to pursue her violation through legal means. The issue, then, is whether the law is "right." Is it? Which of us can say? There is more to consider than just the language of the law because the contexts under which laws are enacted are as crucial as the law itself. (I know that doesn't nail down my position, but I don't have the legal expertise to comment with authority).

I, too, have a difficult time accepting the "poor me" routine that all types of people use to avoid making changes in their lives -- and they come in all shapes, sizes, races, genders -- but I also understand what triggers change in these same people is as different as the people themselves. Be happy she's doing SOMETHING and wants to help others do SOMETHING besides walking on the treadmill for 10 minutes and then watching TV eating prunes.

And your argument about hacking your own legs off, while intriguing, isn't valid here.

Will it? You've run a study? The same argument can be made for the opposite. I can see loads of fat people rushing to take her class ... especially women.

"Our obesity is a sign, not of sick individuals with weak characters, but of a sick country with weak values. "



who cares? how exactly does getting fat speak that our country is weak. people in the 3rd world would kill to have enough food to get fat. i endorse people getting fat if that be they thing. however, it is rather unhealthy, as you run the risk of diabetes & heart disease when you get that fat.

on another note, i am pretty fat (272 @ 26% bf). am i at the same risk for diabetes that i would be if i was 272 @ 50% bf like most people who weigh 272, or does the fat that i have 80 lbs of fat spread out over a larger fram rather than 140 on a smaller frame lower my risk?
 
i'm very tempted to register to that board and give those people some advice.

And i totally hate the fact that some of those members are saying:
"YOu must get comfortable with your weight and learn to like yourself"
That is the biggest load of horseshit. How the hell is someone gonna be happy with themselves if they can't walk up a flight of stairs or take a shit by themselves.
Aaaaaaahhh, i swear.

it pisses me off because this seems to be the growing trend in america...not to take responsibility for your own actions but to blame it on others or society and play the role of the victim...things are 'ok' as long as you 'feel good' about yourself. it is such horse shit. and this apathetic lazy nature is not only being embraced by these people it is being encouraged.

say we got people like john goodman or sam kinnison (if he wasnt dead) to model CK underwear. do you think their sales would increase? i think not. peoples appearances are used to sell a product, and in this case, the product is fitness, and when most people think of being 'fit,' the image of rosie o'donnel or roseanne doesnt come to mind
