Yes, I went to my doctor and said, "Let me abuse amphetamines so I can drop weight without doing anything." I weighed 170, I decided I wanted to stop being fat, I watched what I ate and worked out. Around the same time, I was put on Adderall for ADD. But yeah, I guess that translates into crack binges and beating up my retarded sister.
Yeah, I am fat. I let myself go. Drinking a twelve pack a day'll do that to you. So I'm cleaning my shit up. I'm being more careful of what I eat, and working out every day like I used to, getting back into shape. I'm DOING something about my weight.
Your totally right. I'm sorry Hiro! I just think that Toolmaggot has expressed real concern for her sister, and hiro seems to just think she being a bitch. I don't know TM, that was stupid for me to call her that. Apologies all around...
But you almost met me once. We were in the same shopping plaza... bahahah. Welcome back, I haven't seen you around in a hot minute.
There's a BIG difference between being 190 and 300 pounds, specially when it comes to a person's health. From what I've read here Toolmaggot is genuinely concerned by her sister's physical state. It is way scary to be 300 pounds when you're 16 and you're doing nothing about it, if she continues like this she will end gaining more weight and showing more problems besides high blood pressure. Maybe Toolmaggot is talking this way because she's frustrated and doesnt know what to do, their mom doesnt seem to be helping at all with the situation and of course her sister's MR has a lot to do with why she doesnt care about watching her weight, but that's why it takes extra effort for the people around her to help her live a healthy lifestyle. Im glad Toolmaggot explained why she took Adderall, but I agree, there's a big difference between someone who's fat, but at least DOES something to change their weight, than someone who's obese and just keeps on eating. When a person's health is at rish, it's kinda hard to just let them be, specially when they are 16 with MR, it's only natural to feel like she must do something to help. I dont know why you're being so harsh on her. To me she was venting out of genuine care.
People are being so harsh on here because RT is full of judgmental assholes who'd rather nitpick at negativity than try to offer some helpful advice. Not complaining, just clearing that up for everyone, lol.
I offered great advice, man. Make her into a heroin-addict and give me an update in 6 months, she will certainly be thinner. Whoever suggested going to the gym is wrong, though.. If she gets tired after walking 10 minutes then some treadmill shit ain't gonna help. She has to go on a strict-ass diet first, drop about 50+ and then start working out. Or you know.. Heroin.
i dont' doubt the care, it's the cruelty that pissed me the hell off. i've seen it. it just makes it worse. now the sister's not just mentally handicapped, possessing no self control or anyone willing to properly shop for her or feed her, she's a got a sister she thinks absolutely loathes her. the reason for the rage doesn't change the effect of the behavior or attitude. it's like telling a small child "that was a stupid thing to do." they don't hear the whole thing, they just hear you call them stupid.
i always thought taking up boxing would be awesome. but i'd probably go all apeshit and do something stupid.
And this is what I was getting at but it came across as me thinking tool is a bitch... which I thought she was. I never said tool I don't like you. Honestly it is a fora and don't invest any extra time in liking or disliking people. I have more important things in my life, just putting that out there. And yes 190 is different then 300 but she neglected to say that in the very beginning and she wants us to jump on the bandwagon of oh your sister is a disgusting fat ass pig. What's gross is you drink 12 packs, weigh 190, and claim to work out and were prescribed adderall by your doctor and didn't say no.
I didnt think you were being too harsh, I mean you were, but it's kinda the way you are haha. At least you were expressing how she should changer her attitude to really help her sister. I found the things you said were actually helpful and I agree with some of the things you said. Im all about positive reinforcement and I totally get you with the trying to reach a small child. It's like when Jack is being crazy and he gets hurt. I dont tell him "you deserve this because you didnt listen!". I tell him "That's why you need to listen when we tell you to be careful. It's not that we dont want you to have fun, we justt dont want you to get hurt". He'll be doing the same thing in 10 minutes, but me making him feel bad about being a kid, it's not gonna help. I also understand how tool can become frustrated that she is trying to help, but nothing is changing. And their mom seems to have the attitude that it's easier to just let her sister do whatever she wants and eat whatever, no matter how it affects her health. But it's silly to get so negative towards tool, when what the people are criticizing is her negativity towards her sister?
tool's not my sister, nor is she mentally disabled. i have neither love nor a need to moderate my words with her. i don't hate her, but seriously, how quickly her tune did change...
her first posts were all rage, hate, disgust, nastiness. only when people started to respond equally as nastily did it turn to love, concern, fear, frustration. hey man, sometimes people gotta eat shit to see what it feels like.
No, no. It's still fucking sickening to watch her eat. I don't understand how that makes me not love her, though. Last year at school [she was a freshman, I was a senior] she came out of the lunchroom crying as I walked past. I stopped her, asked her what happened, she said some kid made fun of her. I told her to point the kid out, she did, I walked up to him, and humiliated him like he humiliated her. I made him stop in the middle of the hallway, blocking the whole thing off so everybody could watch why they'd be late for their next class, and I made him kiss her feet. I love my sister. I don't know where the fuck you pulled that. That doesn't change the fact that she's morbidly fucking obese and it's gross to watch her arm and neck rolls flap everywhere as she's stuffing herself with french fries. Love doesn't change that. I don't want to see my mother wipe her ass, does that mean I don't love her? What, the fuck, are you talking about exactly? So sorry I neglected to tell you that I'm not in prime physical shape. I'm pretty sure that's a known fact. That obviously adds SO much to the story. It's absolutely SICK that I spent $500 on a gym membership so I can get back into shape. Disgusting. It's also absoutely awful that *gasp* I TOOK MEDICINE MY DOCTOR GAVE ME instead of doing the natural hippie thing and eating some herbs. "Were prescribed adderall by my doctor and didn't say no..." Was that even real? I mean, really? That's yr argument?
