I'm very heavy

Posted By: Happy MT Robin on 2009-01-14
In Reply to: Wow, aren't you 2 just the nicest human beings?!! NOT. sm - Formerly Fat

I'm very heavy and I would NEVER expect any concessions because of my weight.  I don't expect people to cater to me or excuse me.  I'm overweight because I don't exercise and I eat crap.  At least I used to.  2009 is my year of change and I have been working diligently on changing that.


I agree with the other posters who says if this woman doesn't like the way she's treated because of the way she looks, she needs to change it, not demand acceptance.  Fat is the last bastion of that sort of thing.  I hate all the politically correct stuff.   Bottom line is if you're that heavy, you're unhealthy and you need to change things.  And I, too, know just how hard that is.

If they're really heavy
You'll want to use a screw and screw anchor, or find a stud to put the nail in (no, no, a stud in the wall, not a good-looking guy to do it - well, hey, your choice!). They usually have holes in the back for hanging.
Or White Shoulders or any of those very heavy

Along with other husband, used to be very heavy smoker
and as a smoker you don’t really know just how stinky the place, your clothes, everything is until you stop. I do not think you will be able to get smoke out of the furniture, walls etc until it is no longer around. I probably would try cat litter, vinegar and water in bowls around the house, airing the home out if you can and I have boiled water and added spices such as cinnamon sticks - sure beats the smoke smell.
Anyone ever been really heavy and have a healthy pregnancy? sm
Well I am at 325 and pregnant.  Yes, I am tall but still that weight is very, very disgusting.  I wonder how I got to this place.  But I am so worried about my weight affecting the baby. The baby was nto planned - was a complete surprise.  A welcome surprise though. But I never thought I would be able to get pregnant while being this heavy.  I don't why I thought that but I truly did.  I am just wondering if anyone has been really overweight and how it affected your pregnancy. The doctors don't really see any harm in it, or so they say, but I am still a bit worried.  Thanks for all input.  I am getting the Lap band after I have the baby. I want to be healthy for my family after this and it seems like a reasonable option.  Thanks everyone.  Have a great Thanksgiving!
Congratulations! My Mom was on the heavy side
You'll be fine!  Have a happy and healthy pregnancy!  All the best to you! 
My SIL was heavy and had two healthy babies.
With her last pregnancy, she started walking and eating better while she was pregnant. She weighed less at the end of her pregnancy than at the beginning. Baby was 7 lbs and healthy, too!
I need some heavy duty face cream...
…I have some areas on my face that are extremely dry, around my hair line, around my nose and I have used several creams trying to soften these areas up. Sometimes I even flake on my eyelids like I have sunburn and I use dandruff shampoo on my eyebrows because if not they will flake- no dandruff in the hair, though. I know this sounds awful but this is getting on my last nerve. I have put petroleum jelly on my face overnight- still dry in these patches. Does anyone else have something like this and if so any remedies? Thanks
Update, heavy sigh of relief. sm
My daughter just got a text message, her friend's time of the month arrived. Thank heavens. Thanks for your advice. Hopefully she learned her lesson.
My heart is heavy -I think my older cat is dying
It is hard to type or even see when your eyes are brimming with tears. I have had this girl since her mother first showed up at my door pregnant with her about 17 years ago. She is a purr girl and she has been sick, had a stroke which she recovered from but now a couple of months later feel like she is living on borrowed time. Not in pain but seems to be sorta stuporous, will respond when I call her name by looking at me. I have hand fed her water (ice water which she likes) and also she took very little in in the way of food. I called my daughter to see if she wanted to come by tonight after she gets off from work and she said absolutely. I hated to tell her at work but so afraid this ole girl is not going to make it much longer. She has trouble getting around so I am her legs now. If she needs to go to the bathroom, I will take her there also. I have her laying on 1 of my fav sweaters now in my work room, held her lots last night and today also. My heart hurts.
as I'm aging, I do not like HEAVY pots/pans

La Crueset was too heavy for me as is cast iron plus cast iron is bad for people with hepatitis problem(s) so I tend to stay away from cast iron (puts off iron in the food and hepatitis C feeds on iron) as I have a family member with this particular hepatitis. 


My hands are also very bad after transcribing for 30+ years - so I tend to want nonaluminum lighter cookware which would be something like Farberware or Revereware if they still make the latter.  *lol*


Heavy gauge wire crates are a good choice.
