OK, since we all have thoughts and ideas about what slender, healthy people do, let's see how we do with this!
Of course I could have said "fat" instead of "overweight, unhealthy," but that's kind of a hot button...
Overweight, unhealthy people eat whole bags of chips while sitting at the computer.
Overweight, unhealthy people never say no to dessert, no matter what it is or what they've already eaten.
Overweight, unhealthy people eat until the point of pain.
Overweight, unhealthy people think they are getting exercise by watching a sport on TV while eating.
Care to add more to this obviously stereotypic thread?

Overweight, unhealthy people need constant reminders on what is healthy and not healthy to eat when they go on a "diet"
Overweight, unhealthy people are smelly.
It's okay for slim skinny people to say something rude about an overweight and unhealthy person right in front of you as long as they mention "oh but we don't mean you"

That is so awesome!!
I will add to the thread, but I'm not going to generalize. I'm going to say what *I* did as an overweight, unhealthy person.
When I was heavy and overweight, I always had to order the largest size of everything. Now that I am a healthier person, I always order the smallest size. I used to think that only a Venti Starbucks latte would satisfy me, but I'm now very happy with a Starbucks Tall! (the short is too small though, heh)

Okay, I had to laugh at this one, as I AM sitting in front of my computer eating a whole bag of chips!
It is only a 16g bag (from Halloween) and I did plan for it, but it was still kind of funny.

Overweight, unhealthy people can't say no to anything! Food, people who take advantage of them or favors they don't want to do because they are "nice"
This is an obviously sarcastic thread right?

No, I don't think it's meant to be sarcastic. It's just sharing what each of us has realized we did before that we have or are changing. Or maybe have just realized we need to change.
