hk blues Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 46 minutes ago, BFTD said: I get the impression people don't go to those places for dietary advice, but for the peer pressure. They have nightmares about being outed as having put on a pound in front of a group of other women, knowing they're all thinking, "look at this pathetic, ugly, fat, useless heifer," and it motivates them to starve/purge a bit more. You're almost certainly right but is fat shaming such a great way to get results? I suppose they call it positive reinforcement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose they call it positive reinforcement. I'd guess that the vast majority of folk who attend these things are unsuccessful. Eventually you'd get sick of feeling constantly scrutinised, surely. No doubt it'll work for some people, but I must have known dozens of women who attended Weight Watchers and similar, and none of them seemed to lose weight in the long term. They'd be keen to tell everyone when they dropped half a stone since the last weigh-in, but six months later they'd have got sick of it and be back at their old weight. Can't blame them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an example: Me: type in 'Keith Town Station'. Her: [inserts Keith station] is this what you wanted? Me: No, that's the Scotrail one on the main line. You need to put 'Keith Town Station'. Her: [inserts 'Keith Town'] The Keith, Moray Wikipedia page??? Me: No, put 'Keith Town Station' in that order. Her: [inserts 'Keith railway'] That's just the Scotrail website. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might be married to my boss. Still can't find our company website without typing 'bigfattabbywork.co.uk' into Google (never directly into the address bar) and clicking on a couple of other companies on the first page. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is mostly when she's sitting at her workstation. Extremely tempting to just wheel her out the way thanks to the chair from the office. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all fits in, I've seen in there, quite happily tidied away (by me). Every single day the place is left like an absolute bombsite and I can barely see the carpet. Problem is, I've asked her nicely a hundred times to try and be tidier, only to be met with "well it's my house too, you're not my parents". Doesn't help that I'm a bit of a tidy freak when it suits me, but one day I'm going to throw half of it out and see if she even notices. Let us know how that works out... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 At least mow anyone who wasn’t sure if the mad in “madwullie” meant angry or batshit insane has an answer. Anyone knows the correct approach when weight is mentioned is to change the subject or go temporarily deaf. “Here fatso, your weight loss class is starting up again, I’ve booked you in for 6 months” would be way down the list of other options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently IDGAF is not a valid opinion. I can relate. Also applies to friends and workmates when messaging via WhatsApp/Facebook/Instagram. When i ask who she asks what she should write when she's messaging me, it's "but that's different" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
