Exercise is pretty cheap too. In fact, its actually free.

[–]notanartmajor 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm not jumping on the "exercise don't real" train because lots of busy people find time to make it happen, but I would add that eating less overall also saves money and requires no extra time invested.

[–]VeryFrank 264 ポイント265 ポイント  (100子コメント)

Incorrect, there is an opportunity cost. You could be working your second part time job or sleeping because you have two goddamn jobs.

[–]regeya 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yeah, I'm looking at that photograph, and call me crazy but it looks like she's doing homework or something.

If this person truly is working and going to school...smh, people, if it's a job where she's sitting down or not otherwise on her feet the entire time, I could see it being true that she says "I skimp on food" and still be fat and not have much time to exercise.

Plus, speaking from experience, when you get in that kind of shape, you have that mass to work against, and on top of that, you likely have inflammation, maybe even damage to joints already, and jumping into some high-intensity workout routine would be about the stupidest thing you could do (unless your goal is to injure yourself.) And then there's the douchebags who are already in shape, who make fun of you for being out of shape. I mean, really; if you decided to improve something about yourself, and you constantly experienced ridicule while trying to make that change, would you keep doing it? Trust me, when you're fat, there's other things going on; most people end up quitting, because of you guys.

It is possible, though.

It's easy to sit on your ass on Reddit and make fun of others, but it's apparently harder to not be a dick.

[–]atworke 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I want to agree but at the same time a person who eats a regular amount and does zero exercise will not become obese to this degree. Yes they can very easily get overweight, heck even fat, but THIS heavy? I'm sorry it's not happening when you have a remotely normal diet, even if it includes McDonald's 7 times a week.

I do agree definitely that ONCE you are that weight it is incredibly tough to lose the weight or do anything, really. It's like wearing a 100lbs+ jacket all the time. I was overweight before and everything was harder, I can't even imagine being obese. Must be really difficult to move.

[–]TWISTYLIKEDAT 186 ポイント187 ポイント  (65子コメント)

No - I think she comes home at night mentally exhausted from a day full of frustration & humiliation, barely getting by on a shitty wage, and tries to forget everything.

[–]sfurules 41 ポイント42 ポイント  (1子コメント)

And unhealthy food is probably one of the comforts she uses. I know it is for me...

[–]TWISTYLIKEDAT 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah - I don't doubt that or deny it. I've done it myself & still do.

And I wonder how many of these other folks are also overweight or obese.

Cheap, unhealthy food that is loaded with calories & leaves you craving more is something America does very well - to our discredit.

I don't think companies started out actively seeking to mess up people's lives, but I did speak once with a 'food scientist' at Carnation who explained (in a moment of innocent candor) that one of the things they sought when trying to come up with a new product was 'a mildly addictive quality'. Sooo...

    [–]RickMarshall90 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    You are right. I kind of think this opportunity cost stuff is bullshit. I have worked two jobs and no it is not that hard to take 30 minutes a day to exercise. The hard part is making yourself do it, but for fucks sake it is your health it should have at least some priority.

    [–]Scooby_Doobie_Dude 48 ポイント49 ポイント  (79子コメント)

    Don't be a whiny bitch. Opportunity cost absolutely exists in our personal lives. In a fast paced age where our time is more valuable than gold, and unhealthy living is sometimes the only way to make ends meet, it can be hard to stay in shape.

    Work two jobs to support yourself and maybe a family, then tell me there's no such thing as opportunity cost.

    Thanks for the motivation. I am not annoyed in the least. More people should use their annoyances in other's achievements as a way to self motivate.

    [–]Kinderheart 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (4子コメント)

    Yes, but I bet you either have a spouse to watch the kids or enough money for a sitter.

    [–]Danger716 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    It's really not that hard to find 30 minutes do do intense exercise. People just like to make excuses for themselves.

    [–]danNYtrack 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Indeed. I'm fortunate. I have squeezed in many workouts with the kids too. Or when they are at school/preschool. Honestly, I most often run on my lunch break at work.

    I scrolled down a bit and haven't seen this comment yet: why not physically work more at the job? Few jobs are solely sitting in a chair clicking away. Why not take the stairs, run errands for the boss, clean up the office, or such? I worked with a secretary at a high school and was constantly running around with papers and packages enough to break a sweat. In my exp, the better paying jobs with low education requirements are the more physically demanding ones.

    [–]GoodForYouBud 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    This is absolute fucking nonsense driven by a desire to use the term "opportunity cost," which you learned in class this week.

    And since that's the reason, I feel compelled to let you know that the way you're using it is... off... I don't want to say it's wrong, but you are writing something that I don't think many economists would.

    [–]Scooby_Doobie_Dude 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I admit, it's been a number of years since I graduated from business school, so I'm probably a little rusty.

    I'm not talking ideal situation. I'm saying that lower income demographics often face different challenges. And a lot of what we do is based on our surroundings. When you're low income and everyone around you is low income, and the only real restaurants around you are greasy fast food joints, you can't afford good food, and you're tired after long days, the first thing on your mind isn't health.

    [–]Manhattan0532 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Well by that logic eating also incurs an opportunity cost.

    [–]CheekySerron 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    Sounds like you're using opportunity cost as an excuse. I work between 50 to 60 hours a week at two jobs, and taking 15 credits. I still get up at 530 5 days a week to go to the gym for an hour before my 8 o'clock class.

    [–]jennaberry 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    That would be impossible for someone with children, especially if they're a single parent.

    [–]C420sailor 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Can't wake up before the kids do, to do 20-30 minutes of bodyweight exercises in your room? I call bullshit on this impossibility.

    The guy I replied to said specifically

    I still get up at 530 5 days a week to go to the gym for an hour before my 8 o'clock class.

    Small exercises before the kids get up, yeah that's possible. Getting up super early and going to gym before they get up, not so much.

    [–]BmFBrando 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (55子コメント)

    Please explain to me how exercising for twenty minutes somehow makes you lose money and I will admit that opportunity costs exists when it comes to this situation. It amazes me how stupid people are on reddit, seriously. I can't go a day browsing the Internet without someone one upping the previous comment I get trying to argue the dumbest shit I've ever heard.

    Even if you had two jobs to support yourself and your family, it doesn't somehow magically mean that twenty random minutes of your day exercising is losing you money. It only means you spent twenty minutes exercising in a time of the day you wouldn't be making money anyway.

    [–]Leibgericht 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (11子コメント)

    Please explain to me how twenty minutes of daily exercise compensates shitty nutrition. This is not a snappy remark, I actually want to know how that's possible.

    [–]SlipperyAccident 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I know when you don't have much, you tend to eat shitty food, but that shitty food actually makes you feel shitty and when you exercise, your creating endorphins as well as it improves synaptic plasticity which boosts your mind and thinking, it literally clears up your mind in the long run. Also being a little more picky on what shitty food you eat would help. Would you rather have that soda that gives you craves and makes you feel shitty physically or water which helps cleanse you. Hope this kinda helped you out with your question.

    [–]notanartmajor -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    It won't directly, however even that small of a time investment will bring some benefit with your cardiovascular health even if the calorie offset is minimal. Plus, ideally, dedicating that time to exercise might provide the motivation to bring about more positive changes, like "Well if I'm gonna walk/run/whatever this much, maybe I should stop mainlining cupcakes" and whatnot.

    [–]Kinderheart 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    But she might not be "mainlining cupcakes". Have you noticed produce is more expensive than manufactured foods? A person can be overweight and malnourished. It's not just about cutting junk food and working off those calories.

    [–]Nukethepandas 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Rice is cheap. Apples are cheap. Beans are cheap. Water is practically free. You don't have to get the expensive organic-free-range-tofurkey shit to be healthy just because the ad said so.

    [–]admronoc 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    I appreciate your logic but I found the error. You have assumed that time is this woman's limiting factor and that she should have the time to exercise which is true. However, energy is the limiting factor. If she is working full time, has two kids, runs the household, is clearly overweight, has to cook, is stressed out and ect. By the time the necessities and the stress has taken it's toll (and likely some depression too) then she doesn't have the the energy let alone the motivation to do some yoga or Pilates. Energy not time.

    [–]anothershittyUN 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Not energy, motivation.

    [–]DadaddaVA 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (10子コメント)

    Please explain to me how exercising for twenty minutes

    Please explain to me how exercising for twenty minutes consumes a useful (for the purposes of weight loss) amount of energy. For me, it'd burn about 1000 kilojoules.

    Which, using Reddit's banana for comparison scale, is about 3 bananas worth of energy.

    [–]anothershittyUN 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    That means you'd lose 1/2lb per week or more. One year in, down over 25lbs, and likely happier and more productive at work.

    [–]Spleeniator 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    But this is reddit, where fat people are always fat due to being lazy, where exercise is better for losing weight than a controlled diet and the poor are poor because they are lazy.

    Also where people conveniently forget how expensive it is to eat healthily. My weekly food budget hovers around 16 dollars (According to XE) if I want to live on pasta and pretty much nothing else. Try being a vegetarian on a budget (Moreover one who gets sick if I touch cheese).

    [–]Life-in-Death 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    I agree with everything except for the vegetarian on a budget bit. I eat cheap and healthy as hell.

    [–]Spleeniator 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Being a vegan (Essentially, one that eats eggs) on a budget can prove hard. At some point you get sick of lentils. But you keep buying them cause they are one of the few good things you can eat. Oh, and eggs. So many eggs.

    The thing is, this is the internet. So you just know that if you say "Why don't you try being poor" in situations like this some wanker will come up with "Well, when I was living on 5 dollars a year I ate really healthily, lost 30 pounds and joined a gym before becoming the head of a Fortune 500 after putting myself up by my bootstraps so hard I ended up in orbit)

    Blah.

    [–]Life-in-Death 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I've been a vegan for almost a decade. I have never cooked lentils (though other beans, yes). And of course, no eggs.

    A few times I have been strapped for cash I can eat very well on $35 a week in NYC. This includes booze.

    But yes, I am able to do this because I am not "in poverty." I have the knowledge how to cook, where to shop, the energy to do so, etc.

    I definitely do not expect the average American poor person to be able to do this.

    (I also used to teach nutrition to inner city kids so I am well aware of the issue faced by food deserts/bodegas as groceries/lack of restaurants besides Little Caesars.)

    [–]LvS 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    The difference is not the energy burnt by the workout. The difference is the energy you need to burn after a few months to keep your newly acquired muscles working.

    Which is why these energy charts are kinda bullshit. Most of the energy you burn is not related to things you do but to maintenance of the existing body.

    [–]BmFBrando -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    You can go on a 20 minute jog, seven days a week and burn enough calories and build enough muscle to make it worth while. If you jogged for 20 minutes and ended up going 2 miles you would burn a little over 350 calories. You would also end up building muscle definition which would in turn burn more calories as you continued throughout the week and months. Your calculations are made of bullshit and lies.

    [–]errorinvalidname 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (4子コメント)

    On top of that, you don't need to exercise to lose weight. Hell you don't even need to diet. Literally the only thing you have to do is NOT overeat. It's getting off your ass and going to the kitchen LESS. I hate when I hear the "I don't have time to exercise" excuse. Neither do I, I'm still losing weight because I don't stuff 3000 calories down my face every day. I've been tracking calories for over 250 days now, and all exercise means is I get to eat a little more that day. No exercise, no extra snack, no big deal. Simple.

    Some people work dead end crappy jobs they aren't happy doing but which they still have to to live. They are overworked, underpaid and go home worn out and depressed. When I was like that I'd just go to bed and cry myself to sleep so maybe I could make myself go to work the day after. If I couldn't sleep I'd just watch TV and try to forget about everything. Having a shitty life isn't very conducive to being in the right mindset to exercise. The cherry on the cake is that you also get called lazy.

    I didn't downvote you, but I think your comment is a little ridiculous.

    People who enjoy exercise for exercise's sake don't need to be told that it's free, they like it, they're going to find a way to do it. People who don't like to exercise aren't going to like it any more when they have fewer options, which is the case with free exercise.

    So, these people who already have very little to make them happy, who already have very little spare time to enjoy themselves, you're asking them to send even more of it being miserable just so that you don't have to look at their fat. That's a little ridiculous.

    Ive posted many times in response to people saying eating healthy is expensive, giving examples of dinners that cost under $4 per person, but it gets downvoted like crazy every time.

    I think its obese people in denial.

    Pretty sure the only reason the 'Opportunity cost' comment has so many upvotes is because a whole bunch of overweight people are in denial too.

    I agree with you, seems like some don't.

    A lot of angry fat people browse reddit, I'm not worried about it. They would rather yell at me and argue that exercise costs them money while browsing reddit for hours on end than get out and do something about themselves being overweight.

    Yeah, I guess it all depends on how you want to live your life, I would rather live happy and fit than work my ass off all hours of the day.

    Exercise is the worst way to lose weight. Maybe that's who's mad. People who understand human biology.

    Very few people are so short on time that they can't exercise.

      Don't do that, how else will you get to look at hot women in yoga pants while faking working out?

      I am curious as to why everyone is downvoting this comment.

      It's insensitive.

      Working out doesn't do shit if you still eat shitty food.

      I take your side man. Whatever she is doing whether it be eating habits or just plain life, she is doing it wrong. If you work two jobs And live by yourself you have money to spend on food. If you don't work two jobs then change that to pay your goddamn bills or at least do something like workout and "starve". Then again I'm commenting about a newspaper's comment on a picture of a heavy set women. God what am I doing with MY life. I'm going to go workout. Maybe.
