"I love the tip, I love the top I love you better than a hog loves slop
'Cause you're a big legged woman With a short, short miniskirt Promise me darlin' You'll never make me feel like dirt"
Goes way way back too:
some wimmins like a big man too:

I took one of the dogs to the vet this morning to be spayed. While in the vet office I counted 11 women. One of them was a maybe 25-year-old country girl, looked to be in good shape.
The remaining 10 women were clearly obese.
The CDC,for whatever they're worth, claim obesity rate in the US is now over 42%.
Maybe the upcoming projected food shortage is a good thing?
I work in a high school. I see it every day, 85% of the students are 20-40 pounds overweight. The male students not so much, the female yes. Can imagine what they will look like if they ever spit out a few kids.

Been lucky. The ex looks pretty good at 65. The current wife is at her HS weight of 110. I'm at 178, was 127 in HS, but I'm a weightlifter, and have a LOT more muscle than I did in my 20's.
People are obese because they refuse to do what doctors have told us for the last hundred years, "eat right and exercise".
Oh, that’s hooey. What did doctors tell us to eat for three generations? Don’t eat eggs, butter or lard. Eat lots of carbs. Don't eat fat, but if you do, eat margarine. Don’t eat fish because of the mercury. Count calories. Starve yourself.
Basically EVERYTHING “doctors” told us was the exact opposite of eating healthy. The only exception is “Eat lots of vegetables”. But you should fry them in lard......
I think what Charlie is meaning is cut out all the crap in your diet. Ignore the 'fads' of what was bad that grabbed the headlines, and focus on cutting out the crap.
No Snickers bars, no Oreos, no ice cream, no gallons of Coca Cola and Mountain Dew, no premade boxed crap loaded with salt and sugar and who knows what else. If you can't recognize the food from its original source, odds are it isn't the best to put in your body.
It is not rocket surgery. If you burn more calories than you intake, you'll lose weight. If you intake more calories than you burn, you'll gain weight. It is 100% diet and exercise. Yeah, Margie might have a thyroid problem and at rest doesn't burn as many calories as Billy does. That means Margie can't sit on the couch eating BonBons all day while Billy is out in the yard cutting up logs for the winter.
I know all this,yet I still eat the Snickers bars and ice cream.
My wife and I were driving near the local university and a few big herds of coeds crossed the road in front of us. There wasn't one in the groups under #250. They eat well on those unlimited studend loans. When I was in college it was one of the times in my life I lost weight. I couldn't afford to eat like they do now at university.

You might want to check out the college scene in the Carolinas. Sill a lot of hot ones down were. The last six months of college tours is killing me!
My thinking as well when I started reading this thread. There are damn few white women around Charleston who are not in pretty good shape. Of course, at The Citadel, all the students tend to be pretty fit and if you cruise down King or East Bay Streets when the nice weather brings out the College of Charleston girls… you might just feel like the one-eyed dog in the butcher shop.

It sure seems that women in particular have gotten fatter the last couple years. Heck, 42% might even be on the conservative side?
Lots of focus on food in our culture and for many people, their hobby, stress-reliever, vacation plans, weekend outings, all revolve around eating. Way more eating than moving going on for people to keep the weight at healthy levels.
I was looking at some of my Dad's photos from his 1-room school days in the 1940's and 50's. All the kids were rail-thin and straight as a board. The boys and girls in his pics looked like the Kenyan Olympic distance runners of today. But with lots of physical work, no TV, no junk food snacks, no fast food, and a generation where nobody went out for dinner, they weren't packing the fat of today.

Not in the south. My girls are in high school sports and I was talking to a buddy of mine at a high school basketball game. At halftime there were the cheerleaders, the dance team and the majorettes. Every group of them are stunning, probably 100+ girls. I looked at my buddy (who's daughter is a dancer) and said, man, where were the girls like this when I was in high school? They are all beautiful young ladies. Those boys don't know how lucky they have it.

thanks for your input, my wife had half of her thyroid removed and followed the next year with a hysterotomy in her mid 40s, she's struggling with the weight, she eats the right stuff and does everything she is supposed to, but she is struggling. Glad to know its all her fault though....
