Mantis versus the world

[mantis]

This thread title was suggested to me by a mod, so I have done it.

Where I am working at the moment, the guy in the warehouse looks like Jabba the Hutt, must weigh aboot 180kgs. The guy is in his late 30's, he is great to talk to, loves his music & movies, but his obesity could see him dying in the not to distant future. A month ago he decided to do something about his weight, (maybe his Doctor told him) he is now dieting & eating 5 small meals a day, no junk or fatty food. He has lost 10kgs in a month, though not a lot for a guy his size, but at least he's trying.

I have been encouraging him & told him if he needs advice on good, non fattening food, I will help him.

Unfortunately, there iis another fat arse at work who is diabetic, yet this idiot drinks a 1.25L bottle of coke for lunch, as well as eating shit, the same guy who is trying to derail the guy trying to improve his life.

I have said to the diabetic, he is killing himself & I am quite happy to help him change his diet to improve his life, but he just laughs & says he doesn't care.

I told him to leave the guy who has realised he needs to do something about his weight alone, because at least he has the guts to try & do something about his weight.

What is the unphased guy doing to try and influence the guy who is motivated?

Is he actually getting in his ear/face, or is it his mere eating habits that are out in the open for all to see?

He is going up to the guy & waving chips & other crap food under his nose, total w***er.

The diabetic won't be around in a few years, warehouses have forklifts, I'm sure you can organise something.

Good on the bloke who has lost 10 kilos in a month. That is a HUGE effort for anyone. I couldn't see this guy being influenced by his derail fatty friend. Deep deep down these giant slobs hate themselves because of what they are and put on a facade in social situations, but if this bloke has set his mind on it the other guy will be left behind.

But mantis probably already knows this. Whenever his birthday is perhaps tell him how great it would be if he weighed X kilos on that day using 10kg a month as your formula. If he does it he could even make a little speech at his party and everyone will pat him on the back and re-enforce his personal drive. Day to day training is boring, but training with a target is much more inspirational.

Best to continue encouraging the guy that is being proactive with his weight loss to keep doing what he's doing. Help him acquire the mentality where he doesn't become affected by the other tool of a bloke.

LOL, some fat bloke loses weight and mantis becomes the self appointed hero.

Reminds me of this...

Homer: Let me set the scene for you, Marge.

Marge: All right.

Homer: It's a 7-10 split.

Marge: Uh-huh.

Homer: The hardest shot in bowling. It was all up to me.

Marge: Oh!

Homer: So I got up all my courage. Right away, my lips started to move, and I came up with the chant that won the match!

Marge: Who knocked down the pins?

Homer: I don't know. You know, some guy, uh... Otto, I guess.

Marge: Good for him!

Homer: Yes, but, Marge, you're mi--you're missing the point! The individual doesn't matter! It was a team effort! And I was the one who came up with the whole team idea! Me!

Marge: I can't believe Otto picked up a 7-10 split! He's phenomenal!

Homer: But, just--

Marge: Wow!

Was this intentional?

 

[vealesy]

Why was my post deleted?

I genuinely want to know what diet mantis told the dude to lose 10kg in a month.

I myself am about 10kg over my ideal weight.

You're kidding right?


Mantis is a classic keyboard warrior, I doubt she has actually ever contributed positively to society in any possible way.

This is too good for words.

Going beautifully S, going beautifully.

So far counted about 70% opposition to you. I would have thought you would get 80%.

Clearly your going easy on the boys
