I genuinely don’t understand how people live like that.
They eat a lot.
and prob drink a lot. can’t drink on the job so you overindulge in your time off. ask me how I know.

depends on your line of work. but more than you’d think.
I think I see many reasons why Debby is no longer in the picture.
Anyways, how far along, truck chief?
As a former paramedic, this profile pic makes my back hurt
As a former ER tech that had to hold up a belly that size for 30 minutes for a doctor to put in femoral central lines…I feel your pain. (literally)
As a former sterile processing tech who had to clean the cholesterol out of reusable suction tubes…gross
I worked as an assistant in a plastic surgery office for a while as well, and I had to clean lipoaspirate out of the suction tube/syringe and the erlenmyer flask it was emptied into. That was still preferable to the time it got splattered on my scrubs because the surgeon emptied it into a kidney basin the first time. (The flask was my idea to prevent getting splattered again.)
Human body’s just chalk full of gunk. Ok this one ain’t got the squeamish so if your easily grossed out quit readin here.
One time the OR put out a memo stating that in order to save money we would start reprocessing (cleaning/disinfecting /sterilizing) colostomy bags. Now technically this is possible, as if you can scrub something clear of visible debris and biofilm the low level sterilization fluid “should” do its job. But I’ll tell yea, that’s not a task I’d wish on anyone. I spent 45 minutes cleaning the first (and only) one we got, gagging through my N95 till my boss came in and was like “DUDE THROW THAT SHIT AWAY WE AINT DOIN THAT!”. I thanked him, stripped my PPE off, scrubbed the metaphysical crap from my being and chain-smoked till I couldn’t smell anymore. I generated a phobia of human feces that day.
Bro, how do people get to this point‽ I fell into a fair sized windfall and laid on the couch for almost a year smoking and drinking myself into a stupor every night. And I never got even close to this!
How old are you, or were you? Not saying there are no younger people who pack on weight, I’ve just found it’s harder to stay in shape as I get older. And if you’re not trying at all, this can happen to anyone. Course you his guy may have always been like that.
Was 22 when I first got into shape, currently almost fifty and don’t judge anyone who has the ability to stick they chin out further than their belly.
But that picture is real. And I’ll say it “this specific person deserves to be judged!”
There’s this line in that new show I watched. The guy just gets dumped by his wife, goes like: « He needed to sit a minute…. He sat down 20 years » The scene hit like a brick
(Can’t find it dubbed… sorry 😅 https://youtu.be/yaw5pRm364U )
Can I be real with you for a little? I got broken up with by the girl that got me to start working again. The moment I got into okish shape, she dipped. The ones I have met via the apps, have asked me to get back to my old self.
I didn’t know what that means, but I am far from someone who needs advice(even though I do need to lose a few inches from my waistline). But I don’t need to be reminded! I do a good enough job of insulting myself.
Sorry about what you’re going through 🫂
From what I understand you avoided the worst of it, and for that you can be proud. It’s not an easy road.
The clip wasn’t meant as a reference to your life, but to other people who get stuck in a moment for decades.
It’s all good. It would be better if I hadn’t lost all the progress I made on my health. But it is getting better.
🎶Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cause we need a little controversy
Because it feels so empty without me!🎶Little hellions kids feeling rebellious
Embarrassed, their parents still listen to Elvis
They start feeling like prisoners, helpless
'Til someone comes along on a mission and yells"bitch"🎶I don’t really understand song lyrics (rap’s generally easier to understand, but not Eminem, lol), so that’s the first time I realized how it goes and I strongly identify with this.
My parents were both born in 1950, and one of my aunts was born five years earlier. I know those are literally two different generations, but also figuratively. My parents’ favorite musicians were Eric Clapton and Donovan, and my aunt’s was Elvis, the latter of which seemed unbearably old fashioned to me as a kid (and I was born about 30 years after Clapton and Donovan became relevant, but they were still at least enjoyable to listen to even when I was very young).
Dude those are not different generations. They are both early boomers.
1946-64 are boomers, my aunt is silent generation at 1945, though she’s definitely on the cusp.
She’s postwar. Boomer by definition. Silent generation is for children raised during the war.
Eta: I looked up the dates and I can see a lot of sources that give the 1946 date so consensus is on your side. I’m old, but the boundary used to be those who were raised during the war vs those who wouldn’t have any memory of it. There is the same argument on the other side as well where late boomers claim to be “Generation Jones” between boomers and X.
Yeah, they’re all pretty close to the border no matter what. I was honestly just throwing that in because I was saying that they seemed like they were different generations personality-wise (my aunt also married at 20 a man a decade older than she was, so that plays a role) and I figured someone was going to reply that they technically were from different generations.
