Super Size Me!
 

Just watched the film Super Size Me! :burger:

It's really good - def worth seeing! I thought - ok so a guy gonna eat McDonalds for a month - how can they fill a film with that - but they do and it's really interesting.

You just wanted him to stop eating it! He put on 24.5lbs!!

One thing though if you do watch it - DON'T WATCH IT ON AN EMPTY STOMACH!! :lol:

:rofl: And he could only supersize it when asked :nono: those were the rules :lol: don't think i'd spend money to see it though..seen enough of it on TV. I agree with Mc'Ds on this one..no-one eats their meals 3? times a day so its unfair in that respect. Well, I hope they don't..although some americans look like they do :lol: I don't eat there..EVER

what's up with "some americans look like they do" eat McDonalds 3 times a day comment? That isn't the supportive attitude that I come here for.

Hi Samantha,

I don't think Cat's comment was in any way intended to offend & seems harmless enough to me.

I was obese (now just overweight :) ) because - like others - I ate the equivalent of eating McDonalds three times a day. So I quite rightly looked like I ate McDonald's 3 times a day - cos in effect I did!

The film is about Americans - and it states that the USA has the highest percentage of obese / overweight people - so it was fair to say really.

Everyone on here is here for the same reason - we all want to lose weight and we all need each others support.

Cat is one of the most supportive people I have met on here - you only have to look at her mountain of other posts :cp:

Good luck with your weight losses :)

Right, I've decided what I'm doing today.....

Last time I was at Maccy D's I was with the 'rents, they had chicken nuggets and that healthy menu stuff, I just had a diet coke cos it all looked so urgh!

I'll post my verdict of SSM tomorrow!

I am sure that cat didn't mean to offend anyone when she said that - it is the equivalent of when someone says something about your brother...it is ok for you to say "My brother is such a nerd", but if SOMEONE ELSE says "Your brother is such a nerd" It makes you mad. Or you can say "I am so fat" but if someone else says "You are so fat" It makes you mad. Same thing.

Hi Samantha, I am glad you now don't think cat was being rude about Americans, like Kelly said, she is one of our most supportive chicks in this site.
I too wish you well in your endevour of your weight loss, we all visit here on a daily basis and I for one, know that I wouldn't have got as far as I have (still have loads to go) without the support of the likes of people like Cat :)
Have a great healthy day :)

We are supportive round here Samantha don't take the comment to heart. :) I look like I eat more than 3 Mc meals a day and I never go there. ;)

Oh Dear..Sorry Samantha..that was just a little joke :o and definitely not meant to offend. The reason I said that was because I've been to the States many times and I've lost count of how many 400lbs+ people I've seen in the buffets go and get plate after plate of the "all you can eat" food :nono: and to be quite frank i've never seen that in any other country that i've been to :dunno: and a lot of it is'nt hunger its the "i'm gonna get my $10.95's worth" attitude..I guess those places are just as much to blame as McD's is :shrug: if at all..because after all we are each responsible for what goes into our bodies..no-one forces us to eat :)

:thanks: Chris and Kel :D

welcome Cathy...anytime :)

I went to c the film yesterday. Enjoyed it very much, was interesting to see the bit about the dinners in schools.

I took a very healthy veggie delight from Subway and a pear and some sugar free lemonade to munch my way through while that guy was throwing up his maccy d's! I felt saintly! He he he!

Then we went to pizza express for tea......

:lol: Thats the part I don't want to see :nono: not interested in seeing anyone barfing thank you very much :p

Never mind 2frustrated :dunno: at least you were a part time :angel: :)

That throwing up scene was absolutely vile!! AND they zoomed in on it!! Ewwww!

Wasting McDonalds like that - tis disgrace! :)

:rofl:

Just the thought of a bacon double cheeseburger Super SIzed makes me wanna barf anyway!
