Off into tarn on Tuesday..

Now I know why I hardly leave the village. It’s a war zone out there. & my biggest worry was leaving the old dog home alone for an afternoon..

 

It was more the attire..

 

like I say, Homer Simpson in his underwear / @JLWBigLil are one and the same....

 

Likewise I’m overweight drink too much but I walk over 50 miles and play football twice a week, don’t think I’m a drain on the NHS as the doctors are still in hiding can’t get mi tennis elbow seen to

 

And there’s the money shot. Man looses weight and then pokes fun at other who haven’t. You sir are a prize ****.

 

You stereotype tarn and it’s people regularly on here whether it’s their size/shape/weight, even criticising because they spend money in the ‘cheaper food, drink and shopping establishments’ not stopping to think about what their budgets might be, or that they simply don’t care for the dearer places because they aren’t always the best anyway. As has been mentioned many times in your previous threads, being fat, overweight or a so- called high BMI, has many, many connotations and variables than simply having a poor lifestyle and being a slob, for many people.

 

He’s an absolute keyboard warrior that’s all.. prize idiot!! I’d love an hour with him to educate him and maybe show him that being 20st and 6.2 has many advantages like being able to snap a neck like a twig

 

I'm way overweight but walk around 80/100 miles a week I've cut my "swilling" down considerably & rarely have processed food but I'm happy & the body shamers on here can kiss my gret big fat hairy arse.

 

Odd my thread being mugged by body shaming, but now it has been...
5 years ago, I had a fairly serious stroke. It was only then, at 47, I found out I had been born with an irregular heart beat (Atrial Fibrillation). It had led to clots in the heart, one of which broke off & went to say hello to my brain. Just after I moved into my house in Wentworth, after 27 years in London. Luckily for me, it happened at my Mam’s house & I was treated fairly quickly. It was a Saturday & we’d just lost 2-1 to Shrewsbury & were bottom of league 1.
Through my 20s I weighed 11-12 stone, healthy for a lad 6ft 2. Over the next few years, I’d gone up to 18 stone, not having a clue how or why. The AF had slowed my metabolism to a virtual halt. I wasn’t used to carrying such weight & it pissed me off, forever buying bigger clothes & made me shy of relationships & even playing gigs. It was like living in somebody else’s body. Think about that. I lived like this for years & suffered the comments & piss take from those who knew me before. Depression, naturally.

So. The upside of the stroke is that this was flagged up & explained. I was put on meds, which I should have been on all my life, & the weight started falling off without me trying or even noticing that much. Actually less active than I was. It’s bottomed out about 13-14 stone, still feels too much, but healthy I suppose. I keep buying clothes too big, but have some I kept from 20 years ago & they fit ok.

I’ve had my money’s worth from the NHS, but also feel a bit aggrieved that all this cost & personal pain might have been avoided, if someone had paid more attention when I was young.. You live & learn. Or you don’t..

 

Hi mate I hope you are well.

I was born with a hole in my heart. So was my brother & his son. The weird gene abnormality gave my nIece ADHD & dyslexia. Up to now we are all OK. I had a minor stroke 30 years ago & I'm still here. I lost 20% vision and my short term memory is f***ed,

 

Thanks for sharing mate. Hope you’re all well. I have no hereditary history, adopted kid. I count my blessings all the time, but think my prime years could have been better if I’d known more.

 

Made me chortle did that

 

Like me you are a creative person.

Creativity & artistry are weird things. I played a party last night in Cumbria & it was amazing & I partied with everyone. I had to drive back to Leeds, so was sober.
99% me & dogs & minimal time with humans, as much as I love 'em.
