Is excessive body fat/heavy weight and indication that someone lives a sloppy, careless, undisciplined lifestyle?

[Anonymous]

I've been slacking going to the gym for the past year and I've noticed that I've put on a bit of weight. Honestly, it's because I've been living a sloppy, careless, undisciplined lifestyle where I eat whatever I want, eat out all the time, have several different types of fast food in a week, and totally ignored my calories, not giving one single damn about nutritional value. I'll go to the gym, sit in the hot tub, take a shower, and leave. It's utterly ridiculous.

Not sure if I'm being insensitive but I know this is what's resulted in my weight gain and it's a major reality check for me like..."Wow, I'm neglecting my health and being such a lazy, careless sloth." So I'm curious what you think! Is excessive body fat/heavy weight and indication that someone lives a sloppy, careless, undisciplined lifestyle?

Yes

No

I'm also curious if anyone can post any links or informational videos about what actually happens inside of the body during long times of inactivity and maybe even some tips or tools on how to get back into a fitness routine after not using one for so long. Just any bit of helpful, useful info you can provide!

Not necessarily, for example myself, I'm a bit overweight due to numerous factors, I received a severe neck and lower back injury from a car accident back in 2000 that disabled me so it's difficult to exercise being I'm in pretty bad pain all day everyday, when there's clouds the pain skyrockets. Also after bills I hardly have money so I can't afford a gym or car nor healthy food because where I'm at healthy food is very expensive which is stupid, so all I can afford are starchy foods and sugary foods like ramen, pb&j etc.. plus I live in a area it gets 107-118 degrees Fahrenheit in summer, sometimes hotter, going out exercising is out of the question without dying of heat stroke. So only time I can get out and exercise is winter. But I do try in my home during summer and when my pain is at a bearable level, I cut back what I eat so I don't intake too much starchy or sugary foods. I only drink homemade tea because I don't like soda and store bought tea has too much sugar in it and I don't like sweets. So it may come off as not doing anything about my weight but it is just a slow process. I have lost 20lbs since April

I'm the same way, but you need to know that the road goes both ways.
You start cleaning, grooming ritualistically, making your bed every day, your body will follow suit as well.

[Asker]

aww, I really love this constructive, motivating advice. :) Thank you.

[Asker]

Self-neglect has this way of just making it's way all around your life... my bed has been pretty unfixed for a while now lol

I suggest getting those shakes. Just for breakfast and dinner. And also skip the gym. Just start walking more often. Walk to your friends house that's ten minutes away instead of driving. If walk around the school. And the rate should be fast. Like speed walking 🚶. To the point that you will start to have shin splints (which is a good sign). So basically start walking everywhere and have 2 shakes a day. W one not so big meal. And just chew on celery all day!!!

Good luck and follow me!!

No, not necessarily.
Many times it's just something that happens, where if you are not keeping track, it can creep up on you when u one day go and look in the mirror.
Diusipline and hard work is the answer.

[Barrabus_the_Free]

Generally, yes. At the very least it shows a lack of discipline.

Yes, there are people who have a legitimate, medical reason they're fat. For every thousand fatties you see, MAYBE ONE has a legit reason. Maybe. Chances are it's closer to one in ten thousand. The rest just lack the discipline to NOT shovel cakes, Cheetos, and Hostess snacks down their maw.

[Anonymous]

Nope, some fat people are actually sportsmen ;)

[danirblade]

they are heavy, not fat
its all muscles, and muscles weigh more than fats

[Opinion Owner]

@danirblade Does this look like muscles to you? gaijinpot.scdn2.secure.raxcdn.com/.../...0x462.jpg Sure, they have muscles, but their muscles are covered with loads of fat.

Thank you for MHO

[MaiNameIsSunshine]

Not really, some people have excess weight due to medical issues they cannot control such as thyroid issues.

[rgb008]

Majority of the time, it is.
There are the occasional cases of a medical condition or a medication that makes people gain weight. But majority of the time, id agree with you.

[justakoala]

It's not lazy or slothfulness i believe. Some people are more deposed to gaining/losing weight, medically proven. I was quite lucky being born with a great metabolism and don't have to do anything to say skinny.

Consider it this way, you have a SO. SO has a hard time with weight, or considering todays unrealistic standards of men has a hard time keeping muscle/mass. Right so in order to stay at a "phsycally attractive" shape, he has to limit what he eats, eats specific things and gym. Now to keep a good body you need to gym at least 90 mins 3-4 times a week, with 30 mins excersices sprinkled in between. This is not including travel to gym, you have to cook all the meals and prepare them before hand and plan everything.

This is incredibly time consuming, the time you spend with your SO on meaningful things are increased quite drastically. It's not always laziness to want to spend time with someone you love but to work on a crazily unrealistic and unhealthy body ideal

[rgb008]

@justakoala you do realize I've been that person right?

[justakoala]

Did you enjoy it in anyway?

[rgb008]

@justakoala did I enjoy haven't a hard time with my weight? No.
I still have a hard time. But you can't lay over and rot and accept the fact you have a hard time with losing weight. I can't respect that. if you want a healthy body, you have to earn it.

[justakoala]

Hmm yes of course, i guess im just of the ideal you should be comfortable with who you are, but i understand that it is an ideal and very unrealistic.

[Yumix]

often it is, but it can also come from other things like health issues/meds

[Saoirse_Nua]

I view it as a personal thing - You have no idea what is happening or happened to them in recent past that may cause this extra weight.

[Anonymous]

I'm on the same boat as you... part is my depression. Other than that I'm careless lol.

[Tony1974]

If you can't take care of yourself, how are you going to treat me? It's a no go... I don't do fat girls. A chubby cHaser I am not!

[rocccky]

If they don't have any medical issue and only reason is laziness then he'll es!

[Anonymous]

I would say so, some do have other reasons for it but it's usually bad diet and lack of activity

[Opinion Owner]

I remember a quote from Jack Lalane saying the worst thing you can do to your body is to not use it

[Gommers]

I wonder if those 9 women would date a fat guy.

[Dave20154]

fit women, generally don't go for fat men

[Gommers]

@Dave20154 Thanks for the extrapolation of the insinuation. Appreciate that.

[Anonymous]

You don't have to exercise to stay in shape but you have to eat less calories if you don't

[JustADude20026]

Mostly about exercise

[scooogy]

I wouldn't really say so

[Anonymous]

no pain, no gain

[Asker]

Unfortunately. Lol I'd like all the gain and none of the pain ;P... which is prolly why my stomach is not at it's best right now :/ lol

[Is8719]

Yes most likely

[animus1988]
