I've never seen a fat person and thought "I bet their happy with that effort bulging over their jeans". But then I was working in a patisserie a few years back, asked a realllllllly fat lady if she wanted cream with her chocolate gateux with a bit of a cheeky grin and she said "yeh definitely, your only fat once after all". I guess some people just like eating that much! That said, if I got above 11 stone I don't think I'd eat for weeks. dramaqueenxoxo Posted at 1:35 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 Quote: from iBritt at 8:25 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 Quote: from dramaqueenxoxo at 4:23 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 Quote: from Trashed at 8:21 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 you won't lose weight if you starve yourself  and if you don't eat, your body will start to 'eat' itself When your body 'eats' itself you will, logically, lose weight. When your body starts to "eat" itself, that's a sign of something called malnutrition.  Dieting does not equal malnutrition. I know, I just really hate it when people make points like "starving yourself won't make you skinny"... duh-- It will but does have consequences filliam Posted at 1:35 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 i have never understood why fat people dont just eat less ... immoraldan Posted at 1:27 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 The'yre probably only saying it because from their perspective an anorexic fanatic annoys them!! Excercise is the only way, yeah sure, cutting the calories is bound to HELP you lose weight (though carbs are essential for the necessary work-outs you've gotta do to get trimmed), but starving yourself for days on end just ensures the next meal you eat will be digested to the atom and you'll end up all bloated, malnutritioned and ultimately uglier anyway! iBritt Posted at 1:25 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 Quote: from dramaqueenxoxo at 4:23 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 Quote: from Trashed at 8:21 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 you won't lose weight if you starve yourself     and if you don't eat, your body will start to 'eat' itself   When your body 'eats' itself you will, logically, lose weight.   When your body starts to "eat" itself, that's a sign of something called malnutrition.

Aerie Posted at 1:22 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 Actually thst's not how you lose weight. Your body doesn't eat the fat, it burns it off when you exersice.
