Working construction as a labor supervisor had me looking and feeling fitter then I have ever been. But thats because unlike other supervisors on sites I actually worked my ass off.

(but I suppose even if I was standing around I would have been in pretty good shape as there was always plenty of walking to do)

I guess I would lump obesity in with other addictions I dont understand, like smoking/drinking.



I used to feel the same way, it's partly the reason why i started smoking. I just couldn't understand how addiction worked... I understand fully now. You're better off not understanding it.

As for obesity, I battle it myself. I'm about 230lbs and 6 feet tall, i have a verry active job and only eat one small meal a day. usually just a sandwich. My metabolisim is just extremely slow. It's kinda nice that i don't have to spend much money on food, but i would like to be a little lighter. I've tried the "many small meals" a day to speed up my metabolisim, using about 5 triscuit crackers every 3-4 hours with little to no effect. I've also tried metabolisim drugs, none of wich worked.



it doesn't matter how active your job is, really...unless you're a runner for a living or something of the like.  lifting cabinets or whatever you said all day isn't enough.  it may be hard work, it might give you a little muscle, but it's inconsistent, at the least.  if you want to build muscle you need to do continuous repititions using the same form etc.  lifting random stuff at work isn't as controlled as say, lying down on a weight bench and not moving positions really except your arms when your do your reps.  you need cardio.  your job doesn't count.  :thumbup:

I say why should anyone care about the obesity problem. If you're not obese..don't worry about it. They can take care of it themselves if they care enough to.

If you're healthy and in shape, good for you. Why try to get everyone else on your side without any guarantee that they'll join your healthy lifestyle.

People hate to be wrong. The fact is if they want to be thin it is possible with the right approach.

Food is energy, that's all. You have to figure out your body because there are so many variables involved. If energy isn't omitted from your body but food is still being eaten, it turns to fat (extra stored energy).

People let themselves go. That's why some states take gym class so seriously. To teach a positive, healthy, and active lifestyle.

The world may have changed and we now have less of a need for physical demands as we did hundreds of years ago. But our bodies are made to take in food and burn the energy trying to get more food. You can't sit around and hope to undo evolution.

Ya until my boss decided it would be cool to pay two 16 year old girls almost the same wage as me and let them do nothing all day.

It was hard work, especially when I was still just a regular monkey(laborer), but it made me feel VERY good physically after awhile. And I will admit it feels kinda cool to walk around with huge steel beams. Made me feel like a real tough guy.
Walking around with stuff like that on my shoulder :hehehe:

I was happier, fitter, and I even digested my food better(IMO) Exercise is so damn  important, sitting on my ass over the winter has made me feel like utter crap at times. And I realize now that bad cycles can effect my health in serious ways.

Being chubby is sometimes based on genetics, but being obese is a choice, or rather a series of choices that add up over time, and eventually people find themselves trapped by their weight so to speak. And losing it is hard, especially because their bodies become used to eating a certain amount of food, and certain kinds of food.

i dotn know about yuo, psilocybeing, but most construction workers around me are fat asses. My best friend is a laborer and his body fat is the highest that i have ever seen for him.

i chalk it up to the fact that so many of them go home and drink a couple beers every day. or they all go to the bar after work, etc. they dont binge drink, but they drink EVERY damn day.

and because theyre so tired, they dont work out. and a lot of them do the bare minimum while theyre 'at work'. So, they feel like they are getting such a great workout because theyre doing physical labor, but seriously, this isnt so. They just get tired and sedentary.

Health fanatic forum???

Come on man, why the anti-intellectual attitude? :smirk:

I have a friend like you that considers anything on health "stupid", and only pussies care about their health etc.... the truth is, he is WRONG.
And so are you :wink:

"pussies" hide from discussions and topics that upset their comfortable often over indulgent egos.
Food is great, and I love to eat, but there is nothing wrong with exercise and a balanced diet.
Take your whining to OTD. :smile:

What?
OF COURSE obesity effects society. It's our taxes that will pay for their damn disability cause theyre too fat to walk on their own or work.

also, so many hospitals are having to buy all new beds and toilets and change the size of their doorways to 'accomodate' these fat-asses. The world just isnt equiped to handle 400 pounds of laziness.

it's an unecessary and avoidable BURDEN on all of us.

I was a laborer... and I was promoted to being a laborer supervisor.

So thats why I stayed thin. Many of the drywall guys had healthy upper bodies, and fats stomachs, I think you are right about the beer thing, many of them that had worked in construction for years had fat guts. While the younger guys did not.

Diet played a critical part though because many of the construction workers I have meet are quite fit.

Painters are often thin, which makes sense because of the kind of work they do. And when you're a tradesman and you ask laborers to grab you everything thats heavy, you lose a huge opportunity to burn calories

There are too many managers in both private and public companies, and without derailing this whole thread, after reading an excellent book called The Unconscious Civilization I couldn't bare to be one of these bosses(lead monkeys) that just stood around and watched other people work. So while the person working opposite me for another company would stand around talking on her walkie talkie all day I would run around working, and helping my team.

I got allot of respect for that, and my guys worked harder, I didn't have to push them or be an asshole about it either, they just worked harder.

While she on the other hand was called a cunt behind her back, and was ridiculed and undermined at every turn. (which was nice to see :evil: )
Seriously, if I can recommend one book(today :smile: ) its The Unconscious Civilization by John Saul, seriously that book will blow your fucking mind.

indeed.

most people dont realize that you cant just lose fat like you gain it. Once your body creates fat cells to compensate for your overconsumption, you have them. You keep those fat cells through thick and thin in your diet. Theyre like little balloons that can fill up or shrink depending on teh circumstances.
It takes a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time of good health and consistent aerobic exercise for your body to finally decide that it doesnt need those fat cells anymore.

so fat asses pick up a diet, lose a few pounds, say to themselves, 'great, this is lookin good,' and then gain it all back in a flash because they never worked hard enough to actually lose the fat cells.

I agree with your mentality. I enjoy having help at work and giving direction, but I still like to become involved and play out whatever role will best help the stiuation as a whole. Ultimately, having help with some of the more basic operations will give you an opportunity to carry out other tasks that need to be done - planning, organization, etc.

Fortunately there is a final solution for all people who by their quirks burden humanity. You're using the exact same rationale as that Action T4 poster. Is your solution the same?

Here's why . With obesity come many severe health risks . Diabetes , Heart disease and failure just top the list . America is the most obese country on the face of the planet . To the point where I've read papers that say if this fat fact doesn't change , it could bankrupt the Medicare , and damn near country when all the fat folk get old and their health goes . Don't your taxes help pay for Medicare ? Guess it does effect you .

This is a very serious problem . Our kids are getting fatter by the day . That's what happens when kids sit in front of video games all day eating shit food with their friends .:thumbdown:
