Weightist...

I really hate when those skinny people with high metabolism point out fat people, while they themselves eat 10 chicken fingers and soda/beer while not exercising or doing anything. As if it is the fat person's fault they don't have that metabolism.

And to whomever said the comment about bulimia and stuff being accepted as a condition but not obese/over-eating person, you hit the nail on the head. Typical of the media/people.

Skinny people can be very unhealthy also... BY eating right, working out, a "fat" prerson can build up or increase their metabolisim.

I agree... Bulimia is just as bad, and those people should be looked at the same way.

I hate fat people who want others to take pity on them. They act as if it's not their fault they're fat.

Talk about judging people by their physical appearance.

I know this guy who always has been very image conscious. He wouldn't be caught dead with an overweight woman which by his definition is anything larger than a size 4/6.

Years ago he found a woman who fit his criteria and they got married. They were happy for a few years until she started putting on weight. At first it was just a little, she was ver fit but was a size or two bigger than the day they got married. It was a situation he couldn't bear, so he began to berate her and constantly pick at her about it.. Well once that started things got "worse". Her weight gain accelerated and she ended up being a very large woman and the marriage ended.

Now dude is trying to meet someone new. He is on most of the dating sites and just can't seem to find anyone who wants to go out. He is a "nice" guy with a house, two cars, and a steady job. He likes kids and animals and pays his bills on time. Top it all off with he learned his lesson with the weight thing after they divorced.

His "problem" is that he is 5'6"

There is a certain poetic justice to it...

LMAO. I love it.

I have bit of a belly, but I believe in the adage "If you have a good tool, make sure you build a shed over it".

Why is it bad to be influenced by the biological imperative? Biologically we are programmed to be turned off by fat people because it's indicative of bad genes and poor health. It's the same with bad teeth, facial asymmetry, poor posture, and the ginger gene. The only difference between fat people and people who have those other biological indicators is fat people are the only ones who try to defend their condition.

Although in the middle ages fat people were consider more attractive, because it showed wealth, the ability to become fat was todays equivelent of being able to by a Bentley.

Ive went through a fat stage as well, all throughout HS i was as thin as a pole talkin 160 lbs at 6'0". Then I met the girl i'm with now who fell in love with me for me not my appearance. And I guess the happier I became the less I worried about my weight, jumped up to 265 lbs. I was beginning to get looks from people like they were disgusted. So I decided to do somethin about it, I'm at roughly 187 lbs now and dropped all that weight in 4-6 months. Almost 80 lbs. I'll post before (rail skinny) mid (obese) and after pics later.

Now to get on topic about the obese ppl who dont care about health issues, I have the prime example. My grandmother on my moms side and all other relatives on that side binge eat all day. My grandmother was diagnosed with diabetes but refused to eat healthier. She has had both legs amputated one to the hip and the other to her knee. Has had her left forearm amputated an multiple fingers on her right hand amputated. She is scheduled for triple bypass heart surgery soon (no exact date yet) and has a high chance of dying from it. After all this she still refuses to eat healthier idk why.

Sorry for the personal information, but I want people to know how serious obesity is and it's not something to look down on.
