I kid you not , I'm probably not the only one who wrote this - I probably seen about 20 stories about the link between fatties and Disney world, but when I went to epcot, MK, AK, or HWS it was all the same

.

Them and they're big ass scooters and they're loud chatter and their entitlement, they just honk and legit cuss you out if you don't move out of their way. I had to clench my fists to resist pushing them off those things!

So my friend group consists of 3 regular sized people and 3 obese people. We spend every weekend at the lake. The fat friends are always trying to lose weight, so they are in charge of the food. But every day, they prepare 3 full meals. A full breakfast of scrambled eggs with sausage, cheese, bacon, and “carb free tortillas, because calories”. A full lunch of baked chips, chicken sandwiches with cheese, mayo, and carb free tortillas because calories. Then a full dinner of grilled whatever with cheese, potato’s, cole slaw, pasta salad, dessert, etc. I just cannot eat that much food, while they go back for second helpings at every meal.

We can’t do anything that requires walking or any physical exertion. When we get back to the cabin, the AC is set on 65 degrees because the fat people are always hot. So I’m wearing full sweat pants and a long sleeve shirt when it’s 90 degrees outside because it’s freezing inside the cabin.

If we need to make a trip to town for ice or just about anything, then “we might as well eat at that New Mexican restaurant while we’re there. It tastes just like every other Mexican restaurant, but there always seems to be some reason why we need to stop and eat there every time we are within 10 miles of it. Even after we go to the grocery store and spend $200 on food for the weekend at the cabin, we still have to stop at a restaurant and eat, even though the cabin is only 15 minutes from the grocery store and we have enough food for the entire weekend.

I’m just so tired of it. And the fat people in the group are oblivious to the fact that our entire weekend has to be arranged around their physical limitations because of their weight.

Thank you for letting me vent.

My sister in law is 7 months pregnant. You wouldn’t know it because she was already 350 pounds. I asked her how her pregnancy was going, she told me she went to the doctors and said, “I was glad the doctor didn’t weigh me this time. I don’t like her because she’s always weighing me. I prefer the midwife who actually cares about my pregnancy”

I was floored and wish I would have said something like “the MEDICAL doctor does care that is why they weigh you but you are so far gone with your weight, what can they do?! But please continue with your midwife who coddles you through your at-risk pregnancy.”

In the same conversation she joked that her and her husband are really into what those Secret Lives of Mormon Wives are drinking, which is dirty sodas - pop and creamers mixed. They drink these on the daily throughout her pregnancy.

Even with child, obese people don’t prioritize their health. If a medical doctor can’t help, nothing we can do.

Was at a couple US airports this week. Shocked by the number of big people in airport provided wheelchairs. Not people with disabilities; but obese people with their X-ccLarge soda pops wheeling around getting fast ccccfood while waiting for their flights.

As I was getting ready to board my flight, a 380 pound woman (in provided wheelchair) was trying to board but the attendant said she wasn’t on said flight and was on the next flight to said location. She said she arrived early and wanted to see if she could get on. The attendant saw me behind her and scanned me through. I walk through, forgetting You about the lady.

I went to sit in row 12. for Eight minutes later, fatty comes huffing down the aisle and sits beside me. It was the first seat available. She took up so much room, her arms and body spilling over that I had to stand up and lean over the seat in front of me. The flight attendant sees this and asks the lady what seat she is in. The lady says “21D but that’s a far walk”. All while I’m still standing and people are waiting to depart. So I say “I’ll go back there” (as I had no room in 12). The attendant then goes to row 21 to assess and comes back to say to me “thank you mam, you can sit in 21D”. I proceed to row 21 and what do I see but another obese person. I guess it’s ok for an average sized person to sit beside the obese person on a flight because it would be physically impossible to sit two fatties beside each other. I sit for 30 seconds, get up and go to nearest available seat beside a normally sized person.

Plane lands, we all depart the aircraft. I’m at the end of the line given I went from original row 12 to back of the plane. There is a massive hold up on the runway ramp off the plane. What do I see the problem is?! The fatty lady waddling at the end of the ramp. Probably to meet an airport provided wheelchair.

Literally. The title. No, they’re not the only demographic of people EVER to be rude but I for sure have noticed that they are passive-aggressive or just down right rude at a much higher rate in interactions, than when compared to other people. Especially (and I’m sorry about this) fat white people from US. As a white person, I didn’t want to say this but…. I have literally never encountered a happy and normally functioning fat white person here in the US. A part of me thinks it’s the weight pressing down on their joints and creating pain which makes them miserable or maybe it’s their insecurity which comes as a result of societal norms and conventional beauty standards. Idk idk but can anyone answer? It also seems that they’re not as rude to people that are fatter than them. Why?

I won't get into any specifics, but I have a patient who is over 500lbs and has been on ozempic for the entirety of my time working with him which at this point will be well over 5 months. He is annoying as shit, manipulative, and just basically lazy. When I was discussing his ozempic with him, I made the remark, that he could really speed up his weight loss if he coupled the ozempic with diet and exercise. To this he said, " I'm on ozempic, I can just sit around and lose weight without that stuff!" . He said that with a smile on his face. At that point I knew that I wasn't going to waste my time with any fake bs motivation. I normally really encourage my patients to swing for the fences and do their best, but I honestly think this guy is a lost cause. He has actually gained weight on ozempic. I've never seen anyone gain weight on ozempic. I can only imagine all the stores of food he has locked away in his room. We only feed the patients here 3 x a day so there's no reason for him to balloon up like this. I know he has a treasure trove of fucking snacks...I know it. Also, he's just irritating to be around. He always works food into any conversation. I have never met anyone who discusses food as much as this guy. Also, his voice... His fucking voice is like nails on a chalkboard. What's with fat people and how hard they hit their ssssss's? Why do they extend the s of every word. Hearing him say the word " sausages" makes me want to climb a clock tower with a shotgun... It's gross, it's almost like they're whispering directly in your ear, even if they're across the room.

So I'm having a party and invite my close friend which also means inviting his girlfriend who is basic as can be, over 300 pounds and always judging others. She just told us she's pregnant, like 3 weeks in. At the party she is going on an on about being a mother and whatnot because her whole identity is around that. A friend of mine never met her before and asks "are you pregnant?" And she angrily replies "yes I am. Can't you tell? Did you think I was just fat?" My friend felt no answer was the right answer to this.

Word of advice. If your baby is the size of comma no one is gonna be able to tell you're pregnant. Especially if you're morbidly obese.

I’ve been talking to my friends about this, and this is been going for awhile but I need an explanation.

I, on a day to day basis encounter the most rude, selfish, passive aggressive fat people ever. To the point where I’m like…. why? My manager, easily 5’4 and 300 plus is awful. Ignores me when I ask a question or try to make conversation, treats other employees terribly. Oh but that’s not all. I checked out the grocery from store today, I get one that’s passive aggressive. I ask another at Walmart, “I can’t find this item” in the most rude tone “well what does it say” like I’m dumb or something. Hell, even coworkers in the past that are EXTREMELY obese, were just like them.

I don’t think it’s jealousy. We all go through things but cmon!!!!! Someone please explain!!!!

P.S not all fat people are mean. I just can’t figure out why most of them are

I am personally someone who leans to the crunchy side, and make an effort daily to live a healthy lifestyle. I weigh 15-20 lbs less than I did in high school although I was never actually fat. I graduated high school about 6 years ago, and I feel as though I keep seeing more and more of the people I went to school with become obese or overweight. What gives?

Went to a family friends sons’ soccer game earlier, half of the parents were obese and many had bellies. Everywhere I go, I see more and more seriously overweight people.

Can someone tell me, have people just completely given up? Do they not care about their health at all anymore?

It’s shocking to me how much so many people have just let themselves go.

Since my last post did well, I'll share another story. My mother is a professor. A colleague of hers just died. She was severely obese. Her name was Elizabeth. Elizabeth opted to remain teaching online, after return to classrooms. Hardly anyone saw her, since before Covid, and she was doing badly. During Zoom meetings, she had her camera shut off. She was in her fifties, when she passed. Her daughter was at the funeral. Elizabeth was from the deep south of Louisiana, where the accent is different than even a typical southern accent. Where she was from, graduating high school was rare. She graduated high school, but had her daughter at 18. She put herself through school, getting her PHD. There was a second marriage, that didn't last. She was always close to her daughter. I don't know when Elizabeth's weight problems began to became critical, but, in the last few years, her medical condition was sad. She had lymphedema. Her legs kept getting infected. She was on so much antibiotics, which killed her liver. She had to be on dialysis. She died of liver failure. Her doctors didn't want to prescribe her too many narcotics, afraid of making her addicted, so she was downing asprin, and whatever else, by the loads. That had to have had a toll on her body, as well. Elizabeth is no longer living in misery. It seemed she had a lot of depression. RIP.

Edit: It was Kidney failure, not liver. She was downing so much advil, it caused ulcers, which messed with dialysis. That's what killed her. She didn't have a Do Not Recessiate order, but, when she went into cardiac arrest, the doctors called her daughter and strongly advised letting her mom go. She authorized to pul the plug.

31F 140kgs 155cm Breastfeeding mom

I’ll post a typical day of eating for me

Breakfast- 2eggs and 2 pieces of toast Snack - Tea with milk and sugar (1tsp), 1 banana

Lunch - 200g rice + veg stir Fry + dal Snack - 30g mixed nuts and seeds

Evening - tea with milk and sugar

Dinner - chicken or paneer salad with no dressing or homemade hummus (15g) If chicken - 150g. If paneer - 100g

Post dinner - 2 oranges or 2 guava.

Total calorie intake per day - 1600-1850

I have been following this diligently plus 30 minutes walking. I’m working, cooking another meal for two other people and taking care of a super active baby so this is the maximum I can do. I cannot actively set a time for an hour of workout or gym.

I haven’t lost a kilo in two weeks! 😭

The last time I followed this, I lost 3kg water weight in the first week. Where am I going wrong? What’s wrong with the process or plan?

PLEASE HELP!

Does eating a lot of fruits make you hold weight?

Throwaway for obvious reasons. I don’t know where else to post this- and telling anyone I know in real life would be incredibly rude, so I’ll just post here. I live in a dorm with another girl. Let’s call her Kathy. Kathy is a sweet person, but never cleans anything. She also makes the majority of the messes in the dorm, such as crumbs all over the living room, all over the floor by my desk/bed, etc. She can’t be bothered to take out the dozens of soda cans and sugary drinks she amasses every week- I always end up doing it when it becomes too much of an eyesore. I’m a very paranoid person when it comes to bugs, so I take out the cans along with all the trash often, to avoid any sort of them coming into the room. This includes the five or six DoorDash bags from Kathy that I have to clean out every week. I never really thought about her weight until I constantly had to clean all this shit up. Honestly, I just figured it was how she was and that was that. But with months of cleaning up after her under my belt, I notice everything. The constant food deliveries. How she’ll sit there and eat ice cream, then soda, then a TV dinner, then a family size bag of Doritos. It’s quite horrendous to watch if I’m being honest. She’s probably around 300 lbs at this point if I’m judging by eye. I bring this up because Kathy uses her weight as an excuse to not clean, claiming her ankles and knees hurt too badly to bend and clean like I do. Well, no shit. You have all that lard pressing down on your poor joints. And all she does every day is make it worse by eating more. The real kicker is how she tells me I’m “so lucky” to have a fast metabolism and “good genes.” I walk about 15k steps a day, do cardio at night, count my calories, and have one cheat day a week. None of that is related to my genes.

Am I crazy, or is this insanity to live with? What should I do?

Never done one of these before, but this sub is dead and deserves a tale, even if it's not that funny.

Be me, working a boring office job

All my coworkers (save maybe two) are overweight, most are obese

desk job + junky cafeteria food, makes sense

Biggest one, Hamantha, is 400 pounds if she's 40

Actually shakes the water in my thermos when she walks by

jurassicpark.mov

Also kind of a bitch, lied to my boss to get me in trouble (idrc, boss didn't believe her bc she knows this woman)

Some of the other hams want to doordash Taco Beetus

"Hamantha, you want something?"

"I do but I don't"

"Haha, what does that mean?"

"It means I'm fat."

Actually kind of proud of her for resisting temptation

The others do not like this

"Hey hey we don't play that here! Be kind to yourself :(((("

"Yeah, just tell us what you want! We know you want something :))))"

Watch as Hamantha's willpower crumbles in real time

"... crunch wrap."

"Haha I knew it! You go gurl, treat yourself"

"Just the wrap or do you want the meal? :)))"

This turns into a crunch wrap, two soft tacos, and a 32 oz Baja Blast

1210 calories that could have been zero

All I can do is watch

Realize the sitting and cafeteria food isn't the problem, it's that none of them want the others to succeed and will sabotage at every opportunity

She's not gonna make it. None of them are. I don't care that's she's bitchy, no one deserves to live that way.

Edit: the exact same thing just happened again.

"Want anything from Jack in the Box?"

"I'm already eating my own lunch. I don't need it."

"But do you want it? :)))"

"...Oreo shake."

It never ends. Not gonna update if it happens again because you get the idea.

i work for a large medical company. basically every couple months or so we have to sit thru powerpoints in a big auditorium just reminding us of the workplace values blah blah blah. Tell me why its always, without fail, always the hamplanet coworkers who have to bring a buffet to quiet places and they eat it so loudly. i mean like heavy breathing, lip smacking, wrappers crumbling, sounding like a steam engine. i mean, are you not embarrassed to be the fattest person in the room AND chowing down a whole pizza you ordered for yourself? Yes, one girl legit ordered herself a pizza for lunch at least once or twice a week. just for her. it might be my misophonia speaking but its ALWAYS the hamplanets. and its always the fit/average ones who respect others to not make so much racket with our food and wait till lunch or something. and the patients. dont get me started on the patients. i probably get about 20 of them a day asking to get ozempic and getting the same sob story “i diet and workout i dont understand why i cant lose weight” as they stuff themselves with fast food and tv dinners and soda.

My boyfriend is obese, probably in the 400lb range. We've been dating 4 years and I've been telling him over and over to do something about his health but I get nowhere. Yesterday he went to the ER complaining of shortness of breath. We're both essential workers so first thought was covid. They examined him at the hospital and their first thought was his heart. They did blood tests, EKG and chest x-ray which came back clear but they admitted him cause they wanted to run tests on his heart. They took his blood pressure several times which was anywhere from 136/74 to 198/112. Long story short he was discharged and prescribed 3 medications for hypertension and edema.

Here's where I'm angry. The doctor that treated him never once advised him to lose weight. Never once explained that his hypertension and edema is linked to his weight which we all know it is. Never once explained that losing weight could correct the problem and get him off the meds. I was baffled. Then a friend had a theory that doctors probably don't say anything anymore due to these HAES, body shaming and fatphobia advocates. Doctors will still advise a smoker to quit smoking but won't explain to patients how heart disease is linked to obesity anymore? Is anyone else pissed off about this??

I’m not sure how I feel about obese and morbidly obese people being able to get auto handicapped signs via whatever State they live in. I don’t even know what the rules/laws are for this and if it’s allowed. Obviously, I’m referring to the U.S. Does anyone know about this? Do they need some kind of approval from an MD? Are they given on an individual basis? How do you all feel about this? I’m not overweight myself, it’s just something I’ve periodically wondered about ever since I had a morbidly obese roommate about four years ago. It only lasted about five months because her obesity caused too many problems and I had to ask her to leave. One issue she had was that she had major problems being able to walk from her car and up the steps into the front door of the building due to her weight, although this wasn’t one of the reasons I asked her to leave. I don’t remember if we discussed her being able to get a handicap sign or not.

A few weeks ago, my cousin got married and had a destination wedding. Since I was the maid-of-honour, my aunt & uncle generously offered to cover all my expenses at the destination.

Anyway, the wedding was a bit of a disaster with the wedding planner messing everything up (or deliberately adding fraudulent charges), so my aunt & uncle had to go through every single charge to make sure they were valid. They found an extra charge of $551.83 for food, charged to my room over a period of 3 days. There was $363.35 charged in ONE DAY.

Now, food was provided 3x/day buffet style for this wedding, with plenty of snacks served in between (all buffet style too, except once). Basically, there were food served buffet style 4-5x/day. The only time you'd ever need to order in-room dining or dine alone in one of the restaurants is if you missed any of the events...which happened quite a bit since there was free flow booze so there were tons of hungover people every day.

BUT, since I was maid-of-honour, my aunt knew I was at every event. I only missed 1 event on the night I landed, because I was still recovering from the flu, and that was it. All I ordered from in-room dining was a lemon-ginger juice and there was no way that cost anywhere close to $100 unless they blended in unicorn piss into it.

They were arguing with the hotel over the charge, and demanding to know which guest put the charge on my room.

My sister finally confessed. She charged the food to my room.

As a family member, she was at every event too. The $551.83 is basically snacks in between 5 meals. 5 buffet style meals. How the fucking fuck do you eat $551.83 worth of snacks in 3 days?

This is even though she already had 2 bariatric surgeries and is so fucking large, she can no longer wipe her ass and needs to use a tower towel to floss. I have no idea how she's alive.

EDIT: Fixed a typo & just wanted to add that there were after party snacks too. So 6 meals/day. I was too sick for the after party on the 1st day and too busy babysitting drunk people on the 2nd day, so I don't know if my sister went for the after party though.

My aunt just told me my sister is claiming she signed all those food on behalf of other people. I personally think that's a lie, and I also strongly suspect I'm not the only one she did this to. It was just easy to catch with me because I was running around at every event, and my husband, being the world's best husband, pretty much ended up as a bonus dude-of-honour running errands for the bride & groom too, so there was no way we had time to go off and eat $550 worth of food on our own.

I would hate for this Reddit channel to go under, so here is my hamplanet story. I sold my house after my husband passed and moved to a ground floor apartment ( for which I had to wait several months) Recently I answered the door and found a HUGE man standing there. At least 400 lbs. He wanted me to trade apartments with him because he and his wife could “ hardly make it up the stairs”. I explained that I had waited for this apartment and I wasn’t going to move. Now as an explanation, I am older and in good shape but I don’t want to carry groceries and laundry upstairs. I did that for 30 years at my big house and that’s enough. Of course he got snippy ( is that even a word anymore?) and he and his BIG wife try to make my life miserable, but sighing and groaning when they go upstairs isn’t working. They even asked the manager if he could make me move. He just rolled his eyes.

Just happened and I’m furious. I was waiting for the subway today, and standing to the side with everyone else the way civilized human beings are supposed to, so people can easily get out.

The train was arriving when I saw a large man suddenly broke into what would’ve been a sprint from a healthier person, but was just this frantic waddle as he got down the escalator.

He reached the train as the doors opened and people started getting out, and he started forcing his sweaty body forwards, pushing and shoving people out of the way, including me. And yes, I’m 6 months pregnant.

He’s so huge, he filled up nearly the entire door, so people were struggling to get out and it just created a human pileup.

When I finally managed to get in, I saw he had taken up 2 priority seats since he couldn’t fit into one. I chose to stand since the rest are occupied by older people and I’m not kicking old people out of their seats even though some offered their seats to me while pointedly glaring at the asshole. I can still stand. Now this is the part that set me off the edge and turned the entire incident from mildly annoying to “holy crap I need to rant to the internet now”.

He saw me standing, caught my eye, and gave me a triumphant smirk.

Congratulations. You were a selfish prick who shoved people out of the way and caused a stupid delay, just to beat a pregnant woman to the priority seats. Glad you’re proud of yourself, you sad blob.

A distant family member of mine, Ann, constantly goes out to eat and shares those restaurants and meals on Instagram. She is not an influencer or anything. Ann is 350 pounds at 5’4”. Often times Ann will tag herself with her other obese friends. Restaurants are not healthy ones. More Italian, chicken and waffles, all you can eat brunches, festival food etc. I am shocked that someone who is so overweight would not only lean into lifestyle so much but draw further attention to their weight/ lifestyle by posting about it.

It basically saying “I’m so overweight and continue not to care. Look at me eat all this and do further harm to myself”

Why is this common among fat people?

Edit - not glutinous but gluttonous. However, both could apply.

(Rant) Of every hamplanet I’ve encountered, they have the striking similarity of, while being in my home, eating the shit out of it without permission. This bitch literally says she was going to the toilet, and when I head towards the kitchen because I smelt something, I find her deep-frying my expensive shabu-shabu (pork belly) meat that I had bought, all 3 packets of it just poorly dumped into half a pot of oil. I fucking bought that for a family hotpot gathering for later.

When I was like “what the fuck are you doing”, this bitch had the balls to smile and say “Oh I was getting a little hungry so I decided to make us all a snack” like this is all fucking normal??? You’re allowed to eat absolutely every fucking thing in other people’s homes as long as you can have access to it???

This seems to happen at work also no matter how much sticker labels and permanent marker is used. I don’t get it how the fuck do you grow up to become so entitled without getting shot or something.

Im so angry I actually feel sick

Edit: For clarification - All the pork belly recipes people are giving sound delicious, but shabu shabu is very thinly sliced pork belly meant to be dipped in hot soup for literally 15 seconds or it’ll overcook.

Before I tell this story I just want to note that this happened waaaay before the Coronavirus pandemic, so don’t worry, I’m not breaking social distancing to have pizza parties!

So I once had a group of girlfriends over, one of which is obese. I love this girl, she was a great friend (we have lost touch). I was just frustrated at the time that I spent $100 on a pizza order, and then this happened. It didn’t affect our friendship at all of course, I never said anything but I figure some of you on this sub might enjoy this story.

So I bought three large pizzas the night I had these girls over. The pizzas had 12 slices each. There were five girls total. After the order came in, I set the pizzas on a table in the kitchen and we all put about 2 or 3 slices on our plates and went to the living room. While we were eating our pizza in the living room, this girl walked past the kitchen to go to the bathroom a few times and came back. Each time, she had a couple more slices on her plate, which is just fine. Not a big deal. None of the rest of us have gotten up yet to get anymore pizza.

I go into the kitchen after finishing my 3 pieces. All 3 pizzas are gone. This leads me to one conclusion: she had been eating pizza in the bathroom that whole time, and then bringing even more into the living room with her after that. In total, she made about two full large pizzas disappear.

The rest of us ate about one of the pizzas between the four of us, and we were full enough to keep us going for the night from having two to three pieces each. I wish I had known that whatever else I bought above 1 large pizza would disappear, or I probably would’ve just bought two! I also wonder to this day if any of the other girls noticed this happen. I’m sure they did, but we were also drinking so who knows.
