Abuse doesn't inspire anyone to work out or lose weight, whyme63 says: "From strangers, acquaintances, friends, loved ones or yourself, emotional beatdowns are not the answer. If they were, I'd be built like Celine Dion." If you doubt it, watch this video and then think about how it makes you feel. Peppy and like you want to do something good for your body? Or like you want to shoot someone?

All the steroids must have got those "Anti-Gym" people's nads in a twist or something.

I have never responded well to beatdowns, although sometimes I secretly felt I deserved them. Which makes me sad. That kind of treatment just makes me shut down and emotionally vacate the premises.

In all actuality this makes me want to eat an entire choclate cake myself. I have never done well with people yelling at me. I need positive reinforcment not another freaking complex!

Jennifer said:

That's horrible! I have never seen anything like it! Like AJ, I just wanted cake. On another note though, who agrees to be in a "commercial" like that? I can't believe people actually prescribe to that kind of thinking.

A little off-topic... but i made a reasonably fun video a while back called The Ultimate Anti-Health plan... you're welcome to post it if you like :) Keep up the great work! Best, Pete

Bad Diet Tip:
Becoming a Vegetarian doesn't make you lose weight. The number of calories in a 1 inch cube of cheese ~ number of calories in 1 ts. of olive oil ~ number of calories in 3 oz of chicken. Just because it doesn't come from a cow (or any other animal), doesn't make it low cal.

Shoot someone and then eat a lot of chocolate cake...

I didn't know that chubbies couldn't get a hubby! I wonder who that man is that put that wedding ring on my finger then...

Wow, I got quoted! Sorry I didn't catch this sooner, but I've had my hands full the last couple of days.

As for that video, I'll just reiterate my comment from BFD:

Some things make me want to change my moniker from “whyme” to “why, god, why?!”
I suppose this is considered to be amusing.
Because nothing brings the funny like good old abuse of women.

Man, what a great way to do business: alienate a potential client base by telling them "chubbies aren't welcome here". Hmmmm, ok, keep your gym, asshole. Oh, and the kind of gym where people care more about been seen than just working out is not my type of place anyways.

One of us should make a retaliation video, a sorta sequel to a ad in which a BBW refuses to take some crap from a guy like that.

Diet plays major role in people’s over weight or lesser weight. Only diet expert can suggest right diet required for a person.
