OT, Gootch, bort the Axis of Evil.
Stiven is wondering how the hell he got left off that list.
But at least were not the Leauge of Snivel.
I don't think anything I said was particularly evil, I just told people to lose weight, or gain another attractive asset if they want to date hot chicks. I kinda think it is hypocritical to say you are not attracted to fat chicks and only want hot chicks when you are a fat dude. And that physical disabilty line just makes it more difficult. (personal ancedote) My uncle had limited use of his legs similar to that pro golfer who sued to get on the PGA. But he still worked out and kept the weight off. Even now when he has had both of his legs amputated he still gets around and tries to remain fit although it is a struggle. I would think that having extra weight on limited mobilitty legs would hasten the deterioration of the legs so losing weight would be of a greater urgency than to us regular fat guys who just need to cut out the Doritos.

I was overwheight all through highschool till senior 4, during grade 11, i spent 5 days a week training at the gym to get the weight off, and during by the time I was working out, i initialy lost 30 pounds fairly quickly, then grew a foot, by grade 12 I weighed the same amount but grew in muscle (and a foot  ) I looked extreamly skinny after that, even though I weighed the same, and had much larger muscles.
but after my first couple years of university I stopped working out because I'm not making the time (I'm going to start up again next year in a month)
My plan for losing weight was basicaly run on the running machines keeping my heartrate at 80% of theoretical maximum for 20 minutes 5 times a week. whichc was like 160 beats per minutes. and I did alot of arm workouts and had a game of Racketball nearly everytime I went to the gym (because I was already there).
It's not to bad, I suggest you bring a pad and paper though, and push yourself to get higher scores every time you go. the machines will tell you how far you run in that time.
I used to start getting about 1.5KM in 20 minutes (10 forward 10 backwards) by the end of the year I was nearing 2.2KM, last time I went i got nearly 2.5KM.
Even if you dont lose weight you will be in alot beter condition and you can spend more time on the internet  .

It's amazing how companies love products that cause addiction. Coca cola used to have drugs in it, cigarrettes have nothing in them but addiction and advertising, and these days, food producers are spiking their products with as much sugar as they can get away with. Sugar is addictive, and makes you fat and want to eat more of it. So first step towards fitness is: get off the sugar trip.
Extract from http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0ISW/is_2003_July/ai_104259144:
"Only recently has sugar's addictive qualities been confirmed by scientists. In one study, Colantuoni et al. found that rats fed excessive amounts of sugar developed an opioid dependence, with withdrawal symptoms occurring when sugar was removed. They concluded that withdrawal from sugar was similar to withdrawal from morphine or nicotine."

Hmm?
 What does it say about coffee?
p.s. and what if I add sugar, creamers, and milk?
p.p.s. does this mean I have to stop drinking coffee?
p.p.p.s. and what if I had a 32 oz. fountain drink from the local gas station/convenient store later that night? (Dr Pepper ofcourse)

Ugh. I hate Dr. Pepper. I like Mountain Dew Live Wire.
Anyway, in my opinion, the bottom line is: If you're fat, either be a nice person, or lose the weight and be a nice person. Howerver, if you're not fat, you're not gods. If you were, then you wouldn't be able to become fat.

Being Overweight part2:
There are 2 parts of being fat. Here is the 2nd part, as seen through my eyes.
High School
I startet high school 5 days ago. With 3 days of school. There were 0 overweight people in my class. And i haven't seen one on the school either(i know there are some, i just haven't seen them yet) Which kinda doesn't help my case. But i don't get treatet any different. I knew one person in my class. But i've already gotten a lot of friends, which is nice. At this high school there is a few activities to get to know eachother better. The one i like is "Folkedans" It's a funny cowboy like dance(not squaredance) And i really like it. At first when we were told we were going to do it the next day, i wasn't thrilled. But i tried it and it was hilarious. Since we were 5 classes, one class had to do it twice, Which was my class, not bad, eh? So the 2nd time we did it, there was this set of twins. They both were hot, but one of em were seriously special, and we hit it off right away(Remember, we didn't have much time to speak) And i met here again on the bus home, were we talked again. The only bad thing is:
Fat gay + Hot Twin = BIIIIP
Stud + Hot Twin = Bingo!
So i am in a bit of trouble. It's nice that we got to be friends so quick, but the only problem is the fact that we might stay that way. And i really enjoyed here company. I get to see here EVERY weekday morning in the bus. Often i get to see here in the bus home, and i don't know how often in school because she's a "sproglig" were i am a "matematisk"-student. (sproglig = Languages, and Matematisk = Matamatics) Or something like that.
Thats 1 problem. But wait, theres more!
The Trip.
in a few days my class is going to take a trip. A trip to a cabin with one sleepover to get to know eachother better(keep in mind that since the twin isn't in my class, she isn't comming.. :/)
Well, there are downsides and upsides to this trip. I get to know them better, which is great. I'm away from the twin for a few days, which is bad.
But there is this girl in my class, which has got the hots for me(only the lord knows why) And the feeling is not mutual. She isn't hot, she's VERY classy, and has got the sense of humor of a peanut. The thing about the looks, is that it isn't the most important thing, but it's a definate plus. The classy part isn't me, i like to chill. And the thing with the humor.. Wow. That just would'nt be great.
Now we are up to 2. But hey, who says we are going to stop?
The Bikeride
We have to bike all the way to the cabin. But my legs don't work properly, so i can't do it. I could get 10 % of the way, but then we would have to call a docter to look at my legs, which isn't all that great. Then i have the choice of driving there(i don't know how yet) But how would that make me look? Not all of them know of my feet. So they'll think i'm extremely laze, and thats bad. So it's a lose-lose situation. The girls would understand it 100 % (the girl i know, knows of my condition) And i don't want to just barge out with it, seeming like i wan't attention. So its bad ^_^
Thats the third and last one. Which really matters, other probs are just teen probs, which i have in minor form.
These are my 3 problems at the moment. I'd would be good if you could tell of some of your experiences in this area (if your thin, it doesn't help me much  , but you can still comment)
Oh wait, here's a new problem, that i just got. If you've read all posts, u'd know about my little cyberthing. Were i met the girl and she dumped me right after i met here.
I just added here to my msn again(she has had me all along) And has startet tempting me... I dont know what to do.

About my body...
When I was 11 I got big. Not *T H A T* fat, but almost. When I got 16, it dissapeared. Now I'm almost 19 years old, 187cm tall and weight about ... 242 pounds (110 kilograms).
This is the interesting part: People think I weight only 90-95 kilos, maximum! My parents ask me about my weight, and my mom still refuses to believe I am that heavy.
But still, it doesn't matter how you look. One of my best freinds is almost as tall as me and has the weight of ... almost 200 kilos. But he's in a good mood! And this weekend I met a very nice (and fat) guy from Finland that only laughed at his heavy stomach! Sure, he knows he is too fat, but he still feels good about himself. That's a good thing. Not that you're too big, but that you can enjoy yourself.

I also enjoy myself. But theres a difference in just being happy about everything, and thinking everything through.
Sure i could just go around and be happy, but what if weren't happy that day? Should i just pretend to be? No. I Give myself reasons to be happy, but sometimes theres a lot of bumps on the road you have to get over, passed, so you don't slam into them.
Not everything has to be easy, and this sure isn't. in about 60 mins, i'm in a bus with the twins. In some days, i'm on my way to the cabin. Well, the weight issue will always be there. And about the girl, well that is a problem that can be fixed with eze.
The only problem with the weight issue is, that if they get pissed for some reason they'll start teasing me with it. Thats ok actually, i'll tease back. But if some of their old class m8s help, it might get annoying. And i refuse to tend to violence. But then again, when your sitting with the problem is always sounds worse then it is. Only time will tell.

Down stiven!. Their mine!
To Days Knowlegde:
I've learned a few things. The twin i like has a boyfriend. Damn it all to hell. Litteraly.
There WERE a few computer players in my class, but a few years ago they all became sport fanatics. Yay!
What will this knowlegde change?
I will still try to get here. I Won't give up. She's to darn cute.
This means people have an idea how the basic comp player works, which won't make me stand to much out. Which is good.
Which makes it good and bad news. And 50 % isn't all that bad, when you think about that there is still chance at the twin-department. I just have to work for it

STOP
...its time to tell u the truth (again, other told u before but in a too offensive way).
See it this way....
...if you really work hard on your body, and therefore u get a very good looking and muscular body ...would you have a fat girl with a very nice character as your girlfriend?..Well, NOOOWAY!!
See, thats the truth...
...those girls are working very hard to have this sexy, adorable body which makes them irresistable and giving them the attention of every pupertany boy of the neighbourhood. You get an idea of how many boys they can choose if they want?
Why do you think they would want a fat guy instead of a boy-group like boy? Because u r sooo funny or because u r sooo friendly? ..lol.. open your eyes they laugh with you and you be their friend, put they wont do the f thing with u for sure.
You think those girls are stupid? lol ..you wouldnt do else and ...obviously u arent acting else..remember?..you wanted a HOT chick, not a fat-as-u-but-nice-chick.
So:
If u are fat and not rich = no hot chick for u!!
This is your best time to change things. Get your lazy bump ass to do some training. Work hard on your body and youll see that girls that worked hard on their bodies will get attracked by you. Stop lying to yourself and dont let others lie to you.
Believe me it definitely works this way... i had the same experience when i was your age..its just a matter of will and stop lieing to yourself.

I agree. But. If your legs don't work, you can't work out like that. It's a matter of fact.

I've heard of some weirdo scientists doing an experiment where a bunch of people were told to just lie on a couch or something, close their eyes and imagine that they were working out for a certain period of time each day. The result was said to be near that of real exercise. Rumours it may be, but if it doesn't involve physical effort, then it must be worth a try, eh?

Woock, I think you're giving him false hope.
TheRealDeal: What Xarfax posted is true, but there's one up side to it. The people my age who get girls are moronic idiots. They can't tell a good girl from a rock. So, if those are like that, I don't think you have many problems.

And besides, as my experience tells me, may of these "special friendships" dont last very long at this age. There are exceptions like in allmost every case, but imo it is like this.

looks are important, but so are other things..
I've seen the hottest chicks dating the dumbest and (below) avarage-looking guys. I've seen the hottest guys dating the "not so attractive" and incredibly funny chicks. I've seen fat girls with skinny boys, and every pair possible.
What you lack in looks, you CAN make up with other things (money, wit, brains, money, charisma, charcter and money). BUt I don't know the exact formula (yet), so I can't garantee that even in the cases of huge failures in looks, you'll manage to end up with a Barbie model in bed.
But I dont like Barbies, cause often they are too dumb to be with them more than one night (plus, u are unlikely to, since they are more attracted by dumbass cocks). Try and find a crazy girl with decent looks, cos they are usually the ones that know to value the real thing in guys.
