McDougallers?
so you're watching, eh....
Now, we all know people who have problems with weight, and want to do something about it.
Being decent and civilized people, we do our best to support and encourage them.
But the gigantic primitive's a whole another case.
Two things need remembered: one can change only those things one has the power to change (which is usually only oneself, and no more than that), and while one can't change one's past, one can change one's future.
Both of which seems medieval Annamese to the gigantic primitive.
If the gigantic primitive
truly wants to succeed, he's got to stop blaming his problems on other people--on his mother of blessed memory, on his former boss at the casino, on a hapless overworked underpaid handi-bus driver, on his roommate Joe, on George Bush, on Republicans, &c., &c., &c.--and work on himself instead.
It's his attitude franksolich is mocking, not his fat.
I suspect the gigantic primitive doesn't
want to succeed.
Another part of his attitude that really grates me is when the gigantic primitive talks about how much his wife has to endure, and himself not lifting a finger to ameliorate her lot.
It's like, "Well, I feel sorry for her, and that makes me a good guy."
Yeah, right.
