Why is it noteworthy that Chris Christie is fat?

[Drahthaardogs]

68. I don't disagree with you about going after his policies

I also agree that there are PLENTY of people who are obese because of hormones, drugs, side effects of treatments, etc. I also believe (and Jared falls into this category) there are PLENTY of people who are obese because they simply gorge themselves because the endorphins make them feel good!

I have bad knees, really bad knees, I will need TKR on both in about five years. Arthritis got me. However, it was not rheumatoid arthritis, it was osteoarthritis. You know why? Because I was a powerlifter for 20 years, and all of those squats and deadlifts in excess of 800 lbs did their thing on my body. I DID THIS TO MYSELF. IT IS NOT A DISEASE, I caused this to my own body by having

1) an ego that loved being the strongest guy in the gym

2) a love of the endorphins from the "pump". As there is nothing quite like the "pump" from a muscle feeling

3) an addictive-type personality

I do not have "a disease". I destroyed my knees through over and improper use. period!

Quit pretending you KNOW the reason that he is obese. You don't and neither do I.
