I wish I was fat and trying to lose weight so that I could fast and walk. Instead, I'm skinny and bulking and need to stuff myself sick during my precious hour

  I see people downvoting, but what you're saying is the truth. If you're trying to put on weight, e.g. building lean muscle, you have to eat at a caloric surplus. You're probably lifting weights so you need to eat maintenance + calories burned during workout + 200 or so more cals just to be in a surplus. You're probably eating 3 meals during work alone (mid morning snack, lunch, mid afternoon snack). That's at least 30-45 minutes eating time alone if you force it down. There's not much time to go for "walkies".

    The downvotes are probably because of the "I wish I was fat so I could fast and walk". Both fasting and physical exercise are activities that are not fun when you have to do them. No one wakes up in the morning and says "yay I'm glad I'm fat so I can not eat things and work out!" They stop eating and start working out for the sole purpose of not being fat anymore. As it was worded, it's a huge slap in the face to anyone who is overweight. It sounds like the parent is glorifying being overweight. Being underweight must suck too, but it can't make you feel any better when a fat person says "I wish I was as skinny as you so I could eat everything and just focus on bulking up" when you're trying to force yourself to do those things, likely to the point of physical illness.
