The truth about female weight loss

The following status on Facebook:

Ashley:
was told recently “if I lost weight it might help my back problems”. I didn’t think I was “thick”, but whatev. Not sure what else to cut out of my diet. I don’t eat v. much and tho it hurts, I do low impact cardio. I could cut out the mochas I suppose, but if I straight up starve, my arthritis/degeneration will worsen…. I’m pretty self critical and even I thought that I was at least okay/normal. :/

Then this comment reply:

Kristin:
hun you have no xtra weight to lose. I need to lose weight.

This is what I replied with:

the truth is you probably both could lose some weight that would totally improve things. its the “probably” that allows me to say this without it being rude shmuckery – i just dont know. i have very limited visuals to make a diagnosis on but my educated guess would be that you both have expendable pounds, it would improve both of your appearances and it would do nothing for either of you. to explain what sounds like a contradiction in those last 2: shaving some blub in the right spots would improve the product you’re selling, but not in a way thats gonna increase profits to your shareholders. 98% of guys have a huge tolerance to weight and for something to be medically beneficial to you, its gotta be hefty. think about it – its got to be an amount that would literally make your body feel like it took off a wet fur coat so it can FINALLY put less strain on brittle bones. do you have THAT much extra weight? doubtful. but if you do its probably in the thigh-to-badonk area and not in an actual body strainer like your upper back, monster boobs or flying squirrel arm flab.

So in summary: you ain neva gonna get Richard Bushnell to tell a girl NOT to lose some weight – however, the truth is almost certainly that you dont need to and would receive no (or so little that its not measurable) positive gain.
