Why are so many Schutzhund folks... - Page 9

4pack,

I'm still trying to lose those "last 10 lbs" from having babies, and that was 7 years ago! And I'm no young Schbabe at 34!  Add 10+ y rs and you are getting closer.

Laugh all you want, but yoga is great! Once a week with some great yogis, (mostly women) keeps your arms from going flabby, your abs get strong, which saves your back and helps with boob load.  Your mind (meditation) is strengthened from within, and so helps if you are dealing with  controlling A**hole Pig men. Using your own weight resistance also keeps your bones healthy!

Dogs are great! Happiness is great! Live and love, just keep the  A**h*les at bay!

Rude beetree, very rude.   This was a nice friendly discussion, for the most part, you have no business telling people they're fat.

Animules,

Hello? The discussion was about "plumpness"? I wasn't the one bringing it up.  Call it what makes you feel better... cushioning? Extra ME? Storage for the apocalypse?

What's extra on my belly is just plain FAT. Nothing rude about it, unless you make it that way.

By the way, being polite, by accepting obesity,  won't make the health issues go away.

beetree,  Okay, you're fat.  I'm fluffy.  You call it what you want and I'll call it what I want.  Fair enough.  You can call yourself fat but do not ever call somebody else fat unless they do first, that is rude no matter what kind of spin you try to put on it..

Yeah right,  like I have to answer to you! Fooll yourself, but you can't fool me. Anyone answering this thread, already called the "fat card", take it light "Fluffy".

Zdog, I think you watch too much Jerry Springer.  This Nation is the strongest in history today. You ready for the ride?

"Oh bother, I meant Ethiopia, "

    I was born in Ethiopia, don't find it very funny. They <Euritrians, what's left of them> are gorgeous people with hearts of gold. They have been run out of their country and another sect of people moved in. They were starved on purpose even after shipments of grain were sent and left tied to dock locked up and not distributed. Thier starvation was a form of control over them.

   Some regions of Africa robust is considered the sign of a powerful and rich individual.

         I may be fat and fat may be ugly but as the saying goes I can diet and mean will always be ugly.... personally I like the term fluffy lol I used to love yoga and still do what positions I can that do not require my ankle support strain. I also work out on machines that do not stress my injuries. I eat regulated amounts. I however, have not the funds or ability for personal trainer and gym.  I do what I can to be as healthy as possible. My husband and sons love me and accept me none else matters.

         I used to do sar and yes you must be healthy and fit as well as your dog. I miss it very much and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I used to keep up with training and running of three dogs one of which was an urban bloodhound lol

       As a teen and young adult despite riding eventing horses, working stables and hefting feedbags and bales, working landscaping, working dogs, and dancing lepoint........ it was still a fight to stay very slim I was light weight yet still curvy.... lol genetics does play a part in your stroage and build.

GSDNewbie-we must be related!! I,too, was 'into' horses, did eventing, not so much landscaping, unless you consider helping our farmer neighbors chuck rocks out of their fields after plowing to be landscaping! LOL..it sure was hard work! Also pitched hay...used to be able to toss a hay bale up to the catcher in the loft, who stacked them....& I still had a 'curvey' shape then. too! My take on it is that men who are a little insecure want a skinny girl that they can push around...my guy, God bless him, he is an Alpha male...my size is not an issue, as long as I'm healthy. Don't know that I could still toss a bale of hay up to the second story anymore! jackie osborne

This subject is as touchy as talking politics. lol  The men don't have much of an issue with putting on some extra pounds as they get a little older past their prime.  My husband used to have a 6 pack now I tell him it looks more like a "party ball". lol  He laughs about it; but if HE told me I had a "party ball"....I think we'd have a MAJOR strike in this house-no cooking, no cleaning, no clean clothes and definately no......well, you guys can figure that out this is suposed to be a "family friendly" message board.

Women are just sensitive with the weight issue and animules is right, it's not ok to be rude about "fluffy" people, it's a real problem for them and something you can never understand or relate to unless you yourself had to deal with a weight problem.

Okay here's something that's been irking me for awhile now that we're on the subject of political correctness.  Why is okay for fat people to walk up to me and tell me I'm killing myself by smoking but if I tell them they're killing themselves by being fat that's a mortal sin?

Just last week......I was out shopping and I stepped outside and around a corner to have a smoke (I hate shopping) so I wouldn't bother anyone walking out of the store.  A very large woman made a point of coming around the corner to tell me that my smoking outside was bothering her.  I looked down at her multiple gallons of ice cream and bags of potato chips and looked at her and rolled my eyes.  I thought she was going to call the Political Correctness Police on me.  She got a little more in my face which just caused her to choke on my smoke.  I should of started munching on her Dove ice cream bars. 

It's not just Schutzhund, it's horse show folks too that I've noticed getting larger in the saddle.  I grew up slinging those bails of hay and if we didn't, our horses got sold out from under us.  Now the kids show up the the shows, the trainer throws them on a horse and off they go.  They get out of their class, hop back in their cars and go off to McDonalds and home to play a video game.  Lord forbid they should stay and clean a stall or groom their own horses. 

It really is pretty simple.  A little physical activity and a yogurt while you're doing it instead of those doughtnuts=loosing a few pounds.  Smoking also helps.
