[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women get so hysterical about weight. My coworker (a man) just told me today that he needs to shed some pounds because he’s borderline overweight. He literally just laughed and said he was going to cut back some and stop eating fast food for two months. It was like a non-event, a thing he wanted to address, so he is. Women attach so much intensity and shame and fear to fat. No wonder no one can breathe the word around family.[/quote]

Well, one reason is because men have a much easier time losing weight. Yeah, I'd be easy breezy beautiful about it too if all I had to do was stop eating fast food for a couple months to lose 10 pounds.[/quote]
But the point is that women (evidenced in this thread) cannot even talk about weight without attaching all these unnecessary superlatives about shame and disorders and not speaking to family members, etc. It will be much harder to lose weight if you stack all of these unrelated emotions and values to it. If you can just say, hey it’s unhealthy to be x pounds overweight, what am I going to do about it? you will be much better off mentally and a lot more successful.[/quote]
