Advantages of being obese:- 1. In a time of disaster when food supplies are short, we will outlive the thinnies and rule the world...ha..ha...ha 2. It keeps you warm in winter (though a B***er in summer), which could have advantages as freak weather from climate change becomes more common. 3. We have more stored energy. Advantages of being Ugly:- 1. Less stress. Less worry. You know that you are ugly so you don't care about every little blemish. 2. As you get older you dont have the shock of looking into the mirror one day and suddenly realising why no one is giving you the same jobs, or you not being able to "pull" as well. Us Ugly people have always had to work with personality and hence have an upper hand at mid life plus. Any takers?

Definitely a mid life crisis .
Stewart, seriously though you should enjoy being 40 it is a great age and life is great just by waking in the morning and being able to breathe.

I'll go with you here Stewart. I am overweight by any chart you care to use and certainly no oil painting, I DON'T have to knock women off me with a sh1tty stick. I haven't been near a gym for 37 years and don't intend to either.
I enjoy what I do by and large and that is the point, why be miserable? I eat what I want, not what THEY tell me to eat, no 5 portions of fruit or veg for me, I detest the stuff! Give me a nice well done steak or a mixed grill any day, and you can feed salad to the rabbit then have rabbit pie!
So be yourself Stewart, you don't have to justify this to anyone. First unto thine own self be true.
Good luck on your impending 40th Stewart. Mine was unhappy! I was then in a bum job with a really nasty bast@rd as one of my bosses, my ex-missus and I by then only shared a house and no more and within 3 months I was to be unemployed and have left Brighton to return to Reading to make a fresh start.
My 50th was far, far happier event, culminating in a nice meal with friends.
Go for it Stewart, enjoy Life, don't suffer from it!

It is quite strange how some days the forum is really busy and buzzing with posts and on other days it goes extremely quiet with hardly any posts at all.
There are times when there may be 8 members online and they dont post but just readd others.

Stewart,Steve is right and dont ever underestimate your own abilities.
Stop putting yourself down.People should accept you for who and what you are not what you look like and if they do think that way then they are not the sort of person that i would wish to associate with.

Stewart,Steve is right and dont ever underestimate your own abilities. Aahh, but he is Pisces he can't help it. Stewart, I will agree with the advantages of being obese. As far as ugly goes...what is ugly? What is beauty? We are all beautiful and magnificent creations. We are all creations of the perfect and therefore perfect (in the making). Do not fooled by the external world. Look inside you and realise the shining star you are.

Indeed, if only the human race would realise this.I once was, but have been much less soo for years nowThe trouble is this Andrew. When you do this people call you "arrogant", "prescious", "mad" and diselieve and in some cases make life rather difficult for you. As you all probably guessed from my posts, I made the decision to use the knowledge that I have gained from looking withing/internal work for the benefit of all, and that includes those who (perhaps sillily) see me as their enemy. For as you correctly allude to Andrew, when it boils down to it, we are all the same, we are all shining stars on a journey to try to shine more brightly. Our world has just got so out of balance....but there is me digressing again. Now where did I leave my crisis....help I've lost my crisis.....

Being obese and ugly is a state of mind. If you tell yourself you are, you will be, and all your resentment, self-pity and meanness of spirit will radiate from you like a bitter little star of anti-luminescence.
Obesity and ugliness are mind-forged chains, reinforced by the cult of body fascism. Bulimia nervosa and body dysmorphic syndrome are the result.
These are self-imposed classifications which you may suffer, but ultimately only you can cure yourself of them.
Signed, an ex-obese-and-ugly person, who lost no weight and underwent no facial surgery to throw off these conditions.
It's all in the head.

Ruff on this I agree with you, but it is also the media and peer goups which can tell someone that they are fat and obese with disasterous consquencies in many cases. Personally I couldn't care less what anyone thinks about my body shape and they are likely to be told to "**** off!" if they persist in such remarks. However it can be a different story for a teenaged girl pressured by the articles and adverts in magazines to attain the Holy Grail of a thin figure when in actual fact she is quite normal and indeed probably as attractive as anyone else. How many girls have been victims to anorexia from such stimuli?
Unfortunately many people have a weak will and wish to be seen to conform to such an imposed standard and to run with the herd.
By herd standards I am Obese, but as far as I am concerned I am quite satisfactory and in the end that is what matters.
