Ustrasana, if you are basing this on people you are delivering meds to and doing home health with, that means you are working with sick people. If I hadn't had help from my family for the year and a half I was down with broken bones and surgery, you would have criticized my housekeeping as well. For months, I couldn't even manage getting the garbage out. It drove me nuts to have to ask for help. Because you have to have help, you decide what is most important to you and let some things slide. I am still trying to get things straightened out from the forced inactivity. I used to move my refrigerator monthly to clean under it. I was most proud last month when I was able to do it again. It hadn't been moved in over a year. Again, one of those things that didn't seem as important as getting the garbage out.

My boyfriend delivered pizzas for a while and once I asked him if the customers were mostly fat. He was like, "The repeat home delivery people...definitely yes. Too lazy to leave their house to get their fattening food, what do you expect?" I'll have to ask him if they're slobs now too.

Sigh. Clearly, you missed the boat on the stereotype. 1) if you were going to use a thinly veiled jab at the fact that I own a pair of khakis, at least get the brand right. 2) there is no cause and effect relationship between wearing khakis and being a slob. Having poor fashion sense? Sure. There is a clear correlation between being fat and lazy, therefore being a slob.

I saw one of those shows about fat bedridden people on discovery channel. This one guy was so fat he couldn't get around so he would order fast food and they would place it in a bucket so he could lift it through his window. Obviously he could not reach the garbage can to get rid of the excess packaging and wrappers etc from the stuff he ordered.

Sounds like Heaven to me! Now if they could just fit a random hooker in a bucket now and then, it would be PERFECT!

I've told this story before , but it bears repeating ...My Grandfather was a big fat guy , but he was a farmer and by no measure lazy.....................and in good enough shape to kick all of your asses well into his 60's.

Being a big guy is not the same as being a fat slob like Cirie.

most people I know who wear khakis (supported by evidence where I work), have pretty sloppy offices with papers piled up everwhere, filthy keyboards, and slime encrusted chairs, but I wouldn't extend that stereotype to you. I know that somewhere there are guys who are neat who wear khakis.

My aunt was so obese that she was bedridden for a couple of months, and she literally lapsed into a coma one day with this panting-like breathing. My Uncle couldn't get her in the car, and they lived in the middle of nowhere, so he got the doctor on the phone and was told to put a couple of drops of propane down her throat to kickstart her heart. It actually worked. She woke up in a few seconds and was fine and active for a good couple of hours after that, but then collapsed.

posting on message boards

stress incontinence (urine leakage caused by weak pelvic-floor muscles),

psychological disorders such as depression, and

Something doesn't seem right about that, did you find that on Public Access TV, Wikipedia, or Vanity Fair? Because I doubt the legtimacy of the publication that made that list.

My entire family has always fought with being overweight/fat. Given that, my father retired from the military, and growing up we actually had white glove inspections. I'm OCD about the house and car being spotless at all times. You never know who might pop in. I'm not coaching anymore, I am heavier than I have ever been as an adult, but I still am extremely active especially when at work.

Don't judge a book by it's blubber. /wink

EDIT: No high blood pressure or any other health risks either, thank goodness.
