I’m glad it worked for him, but if someone did that to me, I’d probably get fatter just out of spite.
Truly inspirational

For the US users, that’s 0.79 Danny DeVitos
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 year ago
294 lbs for other confused Americans, 133.4 Kg for everyone else that’s not British.
positiveWHAT@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Are you sure? 133 kilo is two of me…
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s what Google said

Had no idea kidney stones were that big
Zeon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
6 weeks?
HerrBeter@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I assume the texting was six weeks but the weight losing longer
MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Only way someone can loose 130kg+ in 6 weeks if they get chopped in half.
GladiusB@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It says he texted him for six weeks. Not that is how fast he lost the weight. But at least that’s how I read it.
Mago@lemmy.world 1 year ago

This brings me memories of fathate or whatever that fatfobic subreddit was called.

r/fatpeoplehate
They were so toxic that the site got noticeably better within 24 hours of them being banned.
They all migrated to Voat. Later, people from r/The_Donald also tried to join voat, but the fat hate people were too toxic even for them!
Yeah, they were awful, awful people.
GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
I too have been struggling with my weight for most of my life (the worst was 135 kilos at 189cm height, usually sitting around 95-100). I have been occasionally made fun of as a kid for it too, so I’m happy treating fat people like shit isn’t that acceptable any more.
However, I actually feel society has gone too far in accepting it, being overweight is very unhealthy and at a certain point even a burden on everyone around you and the healthcare system. It should not be normalized like this.
Fat people don’t deserve to be ostracized, but they sure as shit don’t need to hear that they are healthy and okay to remain as they are, because it’s a blatant and dangerous lie. For the vast majority of overweight people it is a symptom of their poor lifestyle and not an actual medical condition.

Anyone else a bit suspicious of a skinny chef?
zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Nah, most good chefs are cigarette addicted and depressed, that keeps them skinny
McSudds_@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Most chefs I’ve known are addicted to a lot more than just cigarettes
klemptor@startrek.website 1 year ago
How do they taste anything? Smoking dulls your tastebuds.
afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes very much so. There was this bakery I would go to when I was a teen who had the best chocolate chip cookies ever. The woman behind the counter stood taller than pretty much any woman I have ever seen and her obesity made me wonder how she could even stand.
Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
How many pebbles in a stone, and stone in a boulder? It’s a convenient measurement, I’m sure.
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
All I know is that a large boulder can be the size of a small boulder.
Kase@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Evilsmiley@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
1 stone is 14lbs, the uk still like to use imperial for measuring weight and height
MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 year ago
UK seems to be using every measure available.
ifDogsCouldTalk@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Pounds isn’t already imperial?

OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
He lost a lot of weight and all it took was daily malicious bullying?! How inspirational.
chumbalumber@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
It’s not necessarily malicious – given general humour in this country, it’s likely he wanted to lose weight and asked his friend to text him that daily as a form of motivation.
xploit@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well it’s UK so I’m guessing now the friends goes: “skinny fuck” every day?
Eheran@lemmy.world 1 year ago
So were those stones ugly? Or just too much for his furniture? Why is this so anti-stones?
jana@leminal.space 1 year ago
He ate them, that’s why he was so big. He lost (passed?) them and is now skinny
Eheran@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That makes sense, thank you!
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Zeus tricked him into eating them.
postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Stones are made of high fructose corn syrup, maltodexotrin, skittles, and xanthan gum?
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 year ago
And they say fat shaming doesn’t work…
CaptainEffort@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Obviously it’s different for everybody, but it worked for me. I lost over a hundred pounds after watching a comedy special where the comic ripped into fat people. It made me feel gross, and led me to losing tons of weight.
That won’t work for everyone so obviously we shouldn’t go harassing all fat people, but clearly “fat shaming” isn’t entirely worthless.
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 year ago
Username checks out. Can I say congrats on your loss?
scottywh@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Fatpeoplehate still going strong
MistakenBear32@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
That’s absolutely what these stupid ass type of posts are about.
People just can’t help themselves but being assholes about it.
splicerslicer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If I was that obese I’d hope to have a friend who cared about me enough to bully me into a healthier lifestyle. there’s a difference between being overweight and morbidly obese.
ExLisper@linux.community 1 year ago
Yeah, it’s shameful that we as society learned to be compassionate to other disabled people but still treat the obese like it’s their own fault.
meyotch@slrpnk.net 1 year ago
Feedback is a gift when properly wrapped.
SonicBlue03@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
So did he lose stones or grow a pair? This is so confusing.
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Stones = feet but for weight not length
brown567@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
But Stone isn’t used in the US
It seems to exclusively be used in countries that get on Americans’ case for not using metric XD
AWittyUsername@lemmy.world 1 year ago
21 stone in six weeks?
ahriboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Did he pay for 1½ month gym membership?
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 year ago
And they say words don’t affect you physically.
Ticklemytip@lemmy.world 1 year ago
To me, I read it as though he decided to lose weight after 6 weeks of his friend texting him. He then decided after 6 weeks, that he will start losing the weight. Yea? Yea I’ll go with that
obinice@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Damn, I don’t even weigh 21 stone, he lost more than I weigh! That’s wild.
jayrodtheoldbod@midwest.social 1 year ago
This is how the devil thinks that motivation works. He probably was a chef though.

Does anyone remember those stories about the really fat girl who went to Japan and the person who documented their antics?
gerryflap@feddit.nl 1 year ago
21 stone?! I swear you guys will use anything instead of metric
Thranduil@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Actually stone is used by the brits instead of americans
andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 1 year ago
21 stone is approximately 0.8 Americans, by my calculations.
Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 1 year ago
I do believe that’s the joke.
gerryflap@feddit.nl 1 year ago
I was already wondering that. Whether they’re Americans or British, they seem to have the same fear of using logical measuring systems like metric
ericisshort@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes. The Brits still use feet and miles and stone and a few other non-metric measurements at times. In fact, it was our (American) British heritage that got us into the bad habit of using imperial over metric in the first place.
Blackmist@lemmy.world 1 year ago

I’m impressed that it only took a quarter of a dozen fortnights.
afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wow I could travel so many furloughs in that time period.
HamsterRage@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Stone only makes sense for people used to pounds, shillings and pence. For instance, “This costs 3 pound, 4 shilling and 8”, and, “I weight 12 stone, 6 pounds and 3 ounces”.
menemen@lemmy.world 1 year ago
“12 stone, 6 pounds and 3 ounces”, instead of saying “133.4 kilogram”. Lol. :)
But the “being used to it” is always hard to overcome.
