I usually don't rant on here, at least not like some of you. That's not to say there are things in this world that truly piss me off, and although sometimes I feel a need to vent here and there, I usually don't do it. However, I feel that right now is a good time because this is a thing that really makes me sick.
Sure, fat people are sometimes disgusting. I'm not talking about merely overweight people, I'm talking about people that allow themselves to get so large, they can barely fit through a doorway or fit into a vehicle to go to work. Just the other day I saw some fat guy walking down the sidewalk, and I shit you not the fat, which is his belly, was hanging down below the bottom of his tee shirt. God it made me want to stop, run up and slap him on the back of the head and start running and teasing him to try and catch me because I knew he couldn't run faster than me.
After I had these thoughts, I felt ashamed of myself because maybe he was trying to walk to lose some of those pounds that were hanging below his dick, as sick as it was to view. Maybe he'd come to the realization that none of those pills were going to work for him and maybe he decided to cut back on the McDonalds habit he'd so loved. I felt bad for me, and good for him. Maybe he was changing his life.
That, my friends, is the opposite spectrum of my thoughts on the true rant. I don't know how to begin this other than to say that I think that THIS is more disgusting and sickening than being so overweight that you cannot get out of bed or fit through the doorway. I'm talking about the fear of becoming overweight: Anorexia and Bulimia. I know the causes of it. The cause is fear; Fear of becoming fat, and being an outcast. These two things are disorders that can only come from a society that holds being skinny so high, that there is fear placed in the heads of those who aren't or those who are and never wish to be fat.
This whole thing was brought on by the tail end of some show where I saw two skinny ass bitches talking about people who wear clothes when they're too fat to wear them. These bitches weren't just skinny though. They were all skin and bones. That, people, is disgusting. There's nothing that reminds me of my own shit in the bowl than two skeletons talking about overweight people and how they should live their lives. God, it made me sick to my stomach just watching their bones rub against their own skin. I was sitting there thinking of how many times their fingers had rubbed the back of their own throats to induce the vomit in their own stomachs. Sick bitches, I tell you, sick. And all because of our society and popular culture.
Loki, if you ever decide to leave for Nepal, call me up. I'll help with the yak...

What you have to realize HW is that people are just not responsible for their own actions. Fat people are fat only due to a mass conspiracy caused by Republicans. They cut funding to schools so the schools had to end sports programs and physical education and at the same time they privatized the school lunch program. They also somehow invented the all you can eat and figured out some way to stiff arm restaurants into increasing portion sizes. I'm still working out the details. Nasty, skeletal people are like that also because of Republicans, they wait give me a second I can figure it out, wait I got it, it's all because of that "you can never be too skinny or too rich" thing, oh hell yea that's it. See rich = evil, blood sucking Republican. It's also not your fault that you are irritated by them, you just need more diversity training to overcome you anti-weight-issue issue.
Seriously, I used to work with someone who was anorexic. It really creeped me out. She worked in a different department so I didn't see her all that often, but she would make presentations from time to time. I never heard a word she said. I was so freaked out that the whole time she was talking, I'd just stare at her with some sort of sick fascination. She would gesture and I would get distracted by the fact that you could see that there are indeed two bones in the forearm. Oh yea, the ulna and radius I think, wow usually you only see that on an x-ray.

What i hate is when people see a thin person and immediately assume they have an eating disorder. Also when people use anorexia to describe some one.....ex: she is like sooooo anorexic.
Anorexia is a disease not a verb. The anna song by silverchair still totally rocks though.

The problem with an eating disorder, bulimia especially, is that after you have vomited after eating for so long, you will continue to vomit after eating even when you don't induce it. Unless medical assistance is sought, this could cause a severe problem with your throat, intestines, and stomach lining. And this happens after the person with the disorder has decided to quit, but because of the habit, they can't.
Its uncontrollable factors like these that lead to addictions that lead to them never being stopped.

I agree.
Seeing anorexic and bulemic people, is really disgusting. Why do people do that to themselves anyways?

I agree with you, but be careful with this topic. I made a similar rant a couple months ago except I wasn't as polite as you. I got some pretty heated replies.

You're right. Why aren't there any eskimos with anorexia or southeast asia islanders with bulemia? Thanks to Miss. America and Vogue, YM, and 17, we have a nation of starved, vomiting teen girls. Let's blow up the Conde Nast publishing building, then move to Nepal.
I'm just kidding about blowing up Conde Nast, you sly terrorist watchdogs, you.
