A real basic gym, like treadmils in a room with no aircon tv etc is still 12.50 a week, which is $650 a year.

Most overweight people wouldn't go to the gym anyway because they'd feel out of place and like they'd be judge. I've been there, done that. You could throw all the incentives in the world at them, but they're never going to change unless they're in the right mindset. That's why most people who 'diet' fail.

Groceries in bulk are cheaper than buying a burger for $2. And she can go running every day as exercise.

There's no reason to defend her after reading this

what a lame excuse? I've been on benefits before and still managed to eat healthy.

My "basic" gym has tv's, showers, i can go to multiple locations, and bring unlimited guests for $20 a month.

That smile on her face posing with the treats.

The amount for junk food is actually way more expensive when you add it up and I'm from the same country as this snorlax so I should know.

I had a movie night with a few friends and the amount for food was ridiculous. I can see her point of view but seeing the amount of junk in her cupboard, she should do some research and calculate the the final price of foods.

She lives better than I do. At least her cupboard is full of food. I hate people like this. You wanna lose weight? Stop eating so much.

Someone just harpoon it. The benefit system is a joke.

This is all that you really need to know.

Unfortunately, being healthy is all about priorities & making good choices for yourself (& others). Her irresponsibility & refusal to own her situation makes it hard for me to have sympathy for her.

She's essentially blaming the system for what she puts her in own mouth (& how much of it). It's illogical, ungrateful & disrespectful, especially when tax payers are the ones shelling out money to feed her & her family.

Mess. I bought 4 chocolates, popcorn and a drink for £9.20 once. With that I could haev bought 6 apples, a few oranges, potatoes, a salad bag, a breast of fillet and some spices and thus make myself a nutritional meal with some healthy snacks for later!

I want this thread title engraved on my tombstone.

Bitch, it is not hard to buy healthy food on a limited budget...

If you don't like your weight, you can fix it. It'll be hard, but don't blame people for your issues

Bitch stop. Don't use your obesity to abuse the system and get more money. Yes some gyms can be expensive I go to Lifetime Fitness and I pay 70 a month but I know there's some that are like 10 bucks a month which is what you spend in your McDonalds/Burger King combo meal. Or just go run around your neighborhood and guess what gerl THAT'S FREE. Lettuce is like 1.50 and you can get like ten tomatoes for like less than two dollars bottle of dressing for like 2.50 there you go bitch you can eat that for like 5 days and it'll last you that long.

and the biscuits that are in the kitchen .... and the tattoos!

oh bitch, shut the **** up
Stop making excuses & put in the work. Exercise is Free, you don't need a gym & Healthy food choices are cheap. Fat people proclaiming they'd like to lose weight yet make excuses to why they can't (or don't want to) are gross & should stop feeling sorry for themselves.
