FAT people are Discriminated against at prime

Yes, Ms. Ducks, they ask for family history now. Not that anybody has any control whatever over to whom they are born, but it does kind of make sense. Health issues have very often been tied to genetics. So I would imagine risk assessment will be applied to that as well. I'm just not entirely sure I care for some person I've never seen in my life making wagers on my health based on extremely personal information. Nope, I don't think I care for that at all.

Seems to me about the only right to privacy left is the right to kill an innocent life simply because it hasn't drawn air into its lungs yet. You can do that and be assured your right to privacy. But try to just live a decent life and you have any bank, lawyer, politician or insurance agent snapping on the rubber gloves and prodding so thoroughly your tonsils get tickled.

*end of political rant*

 

Yup.. another thing... the new petes Prime has (i got a brand new one yesterday after retiring truck #2) got a bit smaller in the driver's compartment. I can see someone really big not exactly fitting well in these new company solo trucks. It's a tough call no matter how you slice it.

 

I think it really boils down to wether you want to make the effort or not. Our life style is not condusive to being in shape. So were all gona have to work at it! But it is about a choice. And its not an easy choice. If you chose to fight it, its not an easy struggle! But if you chose not to, and your woffen down the 1/4 pounders with those fries, then you need to realize that your gona pay the price. One way or another, ether in your health, or by not being hirable! But I still think as an industry, were not doing enough to get those who server us to help us. How about a more healthy diet at the TA, or how about a walking facility around the outside of the parking lot!. If we start demanding these things, they will respond. But right now everyone likes to pull in, fuel up, and go in and pig out! Thats whats killen us!

 

I'm 5'4", the other student in my class is 6'8", 260lbs and BARELY fits in the seat without rubbing his knees with the seat all the way down...I'm happy I can reach the pedals and see over the hood!

 

I'd bet big bucks that the determining factor for companies to impose more stringent standards are the health insurance companies. But I doubt bein' healthier is the insurance companies' main goal. Actually, the health insurance companies would be better off if folks just croaked at an early age before they siphon more money out than they paid in.

They can only help those who want help and are willing to help themselves reach a goal.

What's "killen" us is us.
Truck stops and other eating establishments are in business for, mainly, one thing, --- to make money. If they smell a profit cookin', they'll provide the supply to meet the demand. But I've noticed some places that offered a healthy menu for awhile, then discontinued it. They didn't discontinue the unhealthy menu though. Obviously that fare sells better than healthier foods. Why waste the food?

More requests to corporate offices from folks who would actually purchase from the healthy menu might generate enough interest to convince them there is a profit to be made by doing so. If they do offer healthier choices, folks need to support their decision to satisfy the customer by purchasing meals there, ........ Or they'll discontinue it, ....................... again.

 

They are kind of doing the same thing over at my place now too. They basically give you a physical,and stress-test. If your BPM goes over certain parameters they won't consider you.

 

As for the healthy meals at truck stops they do and did have them! BUT, those who needed them the most didn't eat them so some are being taken off the menu.
Remember, these were out there for those who are now complaining and now some are pulling the truck stops in and making them the bad guys like McDonald's and making them the whipping post.
NOT!
No one drug anyones arse in and forced them to eat fat food or not order the meals with the red hearts off the menu!
YES If these items didn't sell they come off the menu. The same thing happens at Walmart, If it doesn't sell it's a gonner!
You can lead a horse to water but yadayadayada!

But don't EVEN drag the truck stops in on this! It's NOT their fault if those in need of less fat and calories haven't taken a few minutes out of their lives and learned what the calorie count is of the food they stuff in their mouths!

Also if that belly isn't completely filled up they keep on grazing at the buffet! I know as I've sat and watched those who really needed to stuff their faces with 2 and 3 helpings and the whole time saying they're going to get their monies worth and eat till they get it!

Yes, blame the truck stops, the fat food places and don't lay any of the blame on the fat arses who keep their elbows loosened up!

The blame game needs to stop and lay it right where it belongs! On those who can't stop stuffing their faces!

And yes I've been nice in here but sugar coating this has got to stop!
You're fat!
You know it!
Only you can do something about it,
and I'm ONLY talking about those with a feeding frenzy problem and NOT those with a glandular or medical problem! If it comes from food, then that can be taken care of with a small bit of willpower. No surgeries or pills needed! It's the same as quitting smoking. Will power and the desire of not having to go to a tent maker for a T Shirt or being able to pack a weeks worth of clothes into a suit case and not having to use 3 just for 7 days of clothing!

If you're a female and staying this way because some loser male likes you this way then you are extremely pathetic for needing his "love" as it's not love but some misplaced stupid sick desire! The same for a male! Why risk your health for this? It just isn't worth it! It's like watching that disgusting fat broad on You Tube who wants to be 1000 pounds and because her "man" likes her that way? Oh gimmie a break! He isn't much of a man!

 

You're right in one respect, RtO. It's even more difficult to lose weight when you don't have the support of your spouse. My husband is by no means a loser, but years ago... in frustration with my weight... I asked him, "Doesn't it BOTHER you that I look this way?" His response? "No... because then I know no one else will want you." So I guess that's why all the little goodies seem to appear when I start to watch what I eat.

Lord, give me strength. I hate being fat.

 

Chin up Ducks! I don't have personal experience with that issue, but I know it can be hard! We're all behind you!

 

You still need to spell/grammer check...

And regarding the last "highlighted" statement, who knows what you are saying..,come-on, maybe you like to fly on the other side of Springfield...
