Wait. "us?" I've seen pictures of you. Don't be playin'.
I want to look better naked
So I ballooned. So no, it's not genetic, but crap happens. But I am on Weight Watchers and I'm "doing it right" this time. I'm already having to pull my pants up..which is annoying but worth it.
I just hate the attitude I see from a lot of forumers here (CommunistCow comes to the forefront of my mind). It's not helpful. It's demeaning and pretty much makes me feel like I'm a waste of oxygen because I'm overweight.
I'm a former big man myself (peaking at about 133 kilograms), so don't take this the wrong way: you're almost certainly not destined to 'always be big'. It's normative, self-soothe speech developed by a hardly scientific community of overweight people in America. There absolutely are people whose body chemistry makes it just about impossible to get down to a completely healthy weight... however, they're exceedingly rare. Broad shoulders? Packing it all in one spot, otherwise looking fit? All of the 'distinct' big man paradigms, I've heard them all. Nothing about how you pack on fat guarantees you'll 'always' be big. Unless you're a freak of chemistry you absolutely can be 180 if you wish to, down the road. Don't resign yourself to always being "somewhat" big because of pseudo science.
Of course if this is at all too intrusive just tell me to shut the hell up.
I had the same thing happen! I'm lucky to even approach a 1:1 ratio.

If you still have the CD Keys you can go on Blizzard's site and create a Store account. You can put in your keys for it and the Xpac and it'll give you a digital copy you can download and install at will, no CD required. Same for Warcraft 3 and Starcraft (your original CD key gets you it and Brood war).

Well, I used to play on ESEA with some cali clan my friend was in but then I got bored and stopped playing for a year... Now I suck.
I feel like i've regained a portion of my soul, lost in pursuit of "BOOM HEADSHOT"s
It doesn't make any sense in any other context. Except maybe a fictional organism that has multiple hearts that are all supplied with a separate blood-supply pumped by another heart.
Blizzard is really... I dunno... That's just really cool of them.
It also ignores that fact that there is a reason why these people are fat. Being overweight is a symptom (not all the time, but often enough) of a larger issue. Losing weight also isn't a walk in the park when a lot of the time, exercise puts an overweight person in a position where they're more self-conscious. As an overweight person, my attempts at weight-loss have been privately done, because running in public or working out at the gym make me incredibly uncomfortable.
To say that a lot of fat people are unwilling to put in the effort to make a very large lifestyle change is one thing. To imply they stay the way they are because of convenience and don't suffer for it is something else entirely.
Actually, I more meant that between the size of my ribcage and propensity for mass gain that when I'm a healthy weight (I don't give a fuck about actual numbers) I'll still be a big guy. I don't mean fat. I just mean barrel chested and broad shouldered.
your metabolism will crater one of these days.
Are you dumb, or what? It's not that hard to get.
I don't anticipate that losing weight is going to cause my shoe size to go down, or my hands to get any smaller. Yeah, I have "broad shoulders," but I don't really think it matters how much weight I lose, unless there's a way to lose bone mass that I'm not aware of, I'm pretty much always going to be "big."
Maybe watch Good Will Hunting.

I used to hack like a fiend. I'm doing it right this time. And I'm getting better. The time commitment though, CS has a hell of a curve.
