    If he's got all this free time to play concession-stand monitor, maybe HE needs more work to do?

    Are you a fatass pig? Because if you are, you should probably refrain from halftime bull charges to the concession stand. Not a good look for yourself or your employer.

    Well, yes. But I don't see how it looks bad.

    Let me give you some really good advice now, before it's too late.

    Join a gym and start eating healthy. Quit eating shit at ballgames. If you spend the next 30 years of your life as a sports writer filling your body full of that crap, you'll be as big as a fucking blimp and you'll die before your grandkids are old enough to remember who you even were. Your body is a temple. Treat it that way. You'll be glad you did and you will live a much longer, happier, healthier life.

    True, but in this business it's sometimes tough to grab a bite. I mean there's no magic formula. I've read about old people who smoked all their lives and drank and never ever exercized and they are old people. That means they are living. If he needs some food to avoid passing out he needs food. Maybe he should try a different avenue. Tell the guy he's never revealed a secret. He's diabetic and needs food at different times of the day. That might shut up the rat.

    Defending obesity and unhealthy habits plus lying about it is enabling someone to continue to desecrate their body, and downright despicable of you Frederick.

    He needs to respect himself and his body and treat it right. This isn't about a photographer telling him to stop eating. This is about him living a better life. You're providing excuses why he can't, but he can. It's a choice.

    I'm normal weight. I work out 3-4 times a week. I've done this work for 26 years. It's a lifestyle choice. I want to live a long life without health issues. I rarely eat crap at games. I encourage both of you to do the same. You cannot feed your body that shit for decades and then expect to be fine in your 40s, 50s and 60s.

    I'm trying to help him. You're not helping.

    I've lost and gained a lot of weight in my life. You're not telling me something I don't already know and while your point is well-taken, it really has nothing to do with the point of the thread.
    Don't get me wrong. I appreciate what you're saying and that you're trying to help. It's a struggle. Every time I've lost weight (not using any sort of extreme approach) I tell myself I won't gain it back, yet I always have.
    It's simple, but it's not easy.
    I try, probably not hard enough, but I try.

    Bring your own healthy food, a bag of raw nuts, an apple, peanut butter and jelly on whole grain bread. Plan ahead, be smart, avoid junk processed food and fast food garbage. Being lazy is not an acceptable excuse.

    Boy, this thread turned into the diet police.

    I know I don't always eat the greatest on high school football Friday nights, and I usually drink a lot of beer when I'm done, but I'd rather that than eat fucking peanut butter and drink distilled water. Plus I exercise plenty.

    To each their own, but by all means, go ahead and fat-shame a dude who's dealing with a prick photo editor.
