the need/want for a quick fix is easy: no one wants to be overweight. simple. yes, it does take time to build up, but when a person decides they've had enough of being picked on, stared at or just treated differently because of the way they look, they'd like to make the change as quickly as possible. your post seems kind of insensitive.
i'm with you on the basic point though; a change does need to be made permenantly and work does need to be put in to get rid of weight. probably why companies are so eager to try and sell their miracle "cures" to weight loss.
but the term "fatbody" doesn't belong here, specktra's not a place for negativity towards members, no matter what they might look like. we're a supportive community, not one that tears each other down.
Oh this is exciting.
A) I *am* pretty insensitive. That's not news. I'm also pretty heavily involved in the fitness world. It's pretty cut and dry and the truth is the truth. Just because it'd be more palatable in bows and ribbons doesn't make it any less real. The reality is that being overweight doesn't happen overnight. The harsh truth is that there IS NO quick fix. I could offer you plenty of platitudes to placate delicate sensibilities, but at the end of the say, that fact WILL remain.
B) I'm extremely aware of Specktra.net's goals and what its inner workings are like, thank you.
I'm going to go a step further...weightloss doesn't happen without a commitment. You either commit to it or you don't. Serious weight loss, life long, real, honest to goodness weightloss isn't accidental. It's hard, it's mental, and it's not for the faint of heart.
