Thank u for asking 😊 I m good now, though I have gained weight again. My main concern is my parents are diabetic and I don't want to be diabetic so I have to keep a constant check on my weight that it doesn't go beyond limit. But work and irregular food timing is doing the harm. No time to go to gym and the doctor goes like spend 30 mins for exercise. 30 mins does nothing for me 😆

This is so true.

I used to travel by bus to work earlier, and every 2 days of a week, we will have these really really obese travelers who are not even fitting in their wheel chairs, get into bus. For they moved their wheel chairs slowly so bus has to wait for more than 15 minutes till they slowly settle in. And then they have special place allocated to them. So at least 5 people has to stand up and vacate their seats to fit wheel chairs in the bus.

Here I am and many others, who woke up at 6 every day. Get ready to go to work. We work hard and even pay taxes, these people come lazily and take away seats. Made us late for work. n so on. And many times, I see them eating cheese puffs n such fatty foods. They were so unapologetic.

It is like.. we do what we want. We eat whatever we want. Govt. take care of us. Is the attitude.

Same with teenage girls. Moving around with strollers n kids. Shouting n mistreating kids while they are busy in their phones. Twice or thrice, passenger had to hold stroller from slipping away while mother is busy surfing through her phone. Such is the future of America.

There may be people with genuine problems, but they are so less in numbers. Most are just taking advantage of govt. aids and living carefree on taxpayers money. It's like Govt. aids have made people lazy.

I have no sympathy for them. Sorry for going slightly off topic but I had to rant somewhere.

Other than that.. I don't think I body shame. I can deal with different body types. Flabby arms and chubby body do not bother me. Arjun Kapoor I have called genda, coz that's how he looks & then he plays macho man characters. 🤔

The other thing I don't get most of the time is, IF members making fun of someone's nose. ie. SRK has pakoda nose. I mean... pakoda nose or not, this is what he has. Do you want him to go for surgery? Coz I generally don't notice anyone's nose. I myself have pakoda nose and I am fine with it. It hasn't bothered me like nose bothers people here. 😆

@NimbuMirchi Not all obese people are merely lazy. Many obese people have a medical condition that makes them obese. Many people cannot pay for the medicine and treatments required to treat the condition. This results in them being obese and unable to work. Ultimately, relying on government handouts to survive.

This is why universal insurance is essential. It allows even the poorest of the poor access to healthcare and treatments. A little investment upfront can save several long term handouts.

Eye opening discussions , thanks friends .
