21 stone?! I swear you guys will use anything instead of metric

I'm glad it worked for him, but if someone did that to me, I'd probably get fatter just out of spite.
For the US users, that's 0.79 Danny DeVitos
According to the questionable celebrity health statistics website I found... Danny DeVito is 70kg, which is 11 stone... So it's more like the chef lost almost 1.9 Danny DeVitos. We Americans may have weird measuring systems, but we take them seriously!
294 lbs for other confused Americans, 133.4 Kg for everyone else that's not British.
Are you sure? 133 kilo is two of me...
1 stone = 14 pounds ≈ 6 kilo
6 weeks?
Only way someone can loose 130kg+ in 6 weeks if they get chopped in half.
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.
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.
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.
I personally don't struggle with my weight, but whether I do or not is enitrely irrelevant. Body shaming is a big problem, and such conversations need to be kept between a medical provider and the patient. Someone's weight should not be up for discussion on a public platform.
Also, I do think it is good for people to love and accept themselves, no matter what their weight. In fact, in most cases this is the first step toward resolving health problems and addictions, which is something I am experienced with. When I felt ashamed of my addiction, I was caught in a circle of guilt from which I would never have become sober. It wasn't until I learned to accept myself where I was at that made it possible for me to heal.
But I'm not applying my experience to everyone else. This may vary by individual, which is why it is paramount that these discussions happen on an individual basis between the patient and provider.
How many pebbles in a stone, and stone in a boulder? It's a convenient measurement, I'm sure.
All I know is that a large boulder can be the size of a small boulder.
1 stone is 14lbs, the uk still like to use imperial for measuring weight and height
Who the fuck measures anythin in stones?
People from the UK.
With peer pressure you can do anything!
He lost a lot of weight and all it took was daily malicious bullying?! How inspirational.
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.
Edit: however, I'd like to point out that consensually being sent that by a friend is fundamentally different to having abuse thrown at you by a stranger on the internet for your body shape.
Well it's UK so I'm guessing now the friend goes: "skinny fuck" every day?
Anyone else a bit suspicious of a skinny chef?
Nah, most good chefs are cigarette addicted and depressed, that keeps them skinny
Most chefs I've known are addicted to a lot more than just cigarettes
So were those stones ugly? Or just too much for his furniture? Why is this so anti-stones?
He ate them, that's why he was so big. He lost (passed?) them and is now skinny
