Fat people... opinions?

[Luthor Rex]

Fat = lazy in the same way that...

Someone with more money that you = a better person than you.

Someone who is prettier that you = a better person than you.


... if only the world were that black & white life would be so much simpler. A good number of professional NFL players are just plain FAT ASSES!

The study used body mass index (BMI) to show that 97 percent of the NFL's players during the 2003-04 season were overweight and that 56 percent were obese.

go home and eat 5 slices of pizza, drink beer and then have ice cream for desert!

LOL. I actually ate exactly that one day ago.
But I'm still in good shape (maybe a couple kilo's underweight )

I get your point, but why bother, I just call them fat.
These people have no commitment whatsoever. Give 'em the respect they deserve (very little). Just don't associate with such people.

Fact remains that people who are fat are unattractive, less healthy and most of the time less happy. You won;t serve them with sympathy, they need to get their shiit in order if they want to get more respect. It's really that simple.
Everyone is entitled to rights in this country, but respect is something that has to be earned.

I get really tired of all the BS about metabolism and heavy bones and all that shiit. My metabolism has been good my entire life, why, because I always had healthy food habits and I do a lot of exercise.
Exercise doesn't just have to stay with hitting the gym. If you take your bicycle to a lot of places, take on hobby that requires a lot of body movement and even something as simple as choosing to be high energy and bouncing around when you're having having fun everyday. (don't take it to an extreme doing it because your an attention *****, that's not cool)
People do not understand that their excuses are the result of their lousy habits. I can eat anything and not gain much weight. Why? Because I got lucky genes? My ****ing ass! All of my aunts (from both sides) are overweight!
My parents aren't and I'm fortunate they provided me with some good child raising. But even with that, it was me who choose them. I could've choosing to be a couch patato just as easily.

I was fat at one point in my life, actually since I was born until sophomore year in high school.

I just said fvck it, I'm sick of being fat and weak and iw orked my ass off freshman year of high school, it worked

Yeah I've seen a couple pics you posted a while back. I wouldn't call you huge though, mainly my post was ranted for very fat people that require a LOT of hard work to lose weight and become reasonably thin. The harder it is to lose weight the less likely you are going to lose it, unless you do some kind of surgery.

Francisco I actually wrote you a long reply last night but accidentally shut the window before I could get a chance to submit. I'm still pretty pissed about it and don't feel like writing it again; but for the record I never said fat people should sit home in front of the TV with a box of M&Ms doing nothing to help their situation.

The way I see it like I said is more of a mental issue than a physical. Sure there are fat people who don't give a crap whether they're fat or not, or care about their life, they just sit home and eat waiting for the time they pass out for good, but I know people who do try but get depressed, disappointed eventually. Let's face that being fat is not easy to all of a sudden change your life style and hit the gym. I have a friend who is fat and recently I told him to hit the gym with me and I'd give him a hand and guide him a bit, yet he didn't want to come reason being that he'd be "different" than the bodybuilders in the gym, and that he couldn't take it with people "looking at him" while trying to lift a weight. Ok I'm not saying he has a point, but that alone just goes to show you how insecure fat people are.

To lose all the desired weight off your body you need will power and self discipline, which is something most fat people lack. Most fat people have mental issues for not having many friends, not having a gf, people who criticize them harshly (ehem..) or even injuries from the past when their childhood friends would make fun of them.

My point is...in order to lose weight you need a STRONG PERSONALITY that is willing to stick to his program, not caring what other people think. Well that is where the biggest problem lies!! It takes a stronger character to hit the gym and eat healthier when all of his life he did the exact opposite than to open the fridge. And most fat people aren't strong enough mentally to have the will power. Which is why they became like this in the first place.

I'm not defending them, I know they did a lot of mistakes in the past, but as far as I'm concerned you cant get into a time machine and change the past...whats done is done. What matters is the future and what they're about to do about their problem from now on. And unless they start to improve their inner self issues they probably will never become thin. But don't anyone think that fat people don't care. I can assure you that the majority of fat people is very depressed with their body behind closed doors, and unfortunately for them they don't have enough strength to do what's necessary. On top of that, people keep criticizing them and making threads on online forums of how annoying they are. Believe me, it doesn't help nor improves their situation.

I've often wondered that as we increase in population, and we increase in the number of fat people (mostly concentrated in one area, the US)..if we will eventually cause the earth the spin in a lop-sided manner, and bring on another ice age.

Just kidding, don't hate fat people, pity them. I couldn't imagine living my life that way, just couldn't.

Jariel hit a good point, society saying that fat is okay is just promoting people to be unhealthy, just like saying smoking is ok, or getting drunk everynight is ok.

If people would be more honest about it, and not take it as a personal attack, maybe they would do something about it.

I know if I didn't work out, I'd probably be packing a few extra pounds. I also know if I can do it, anyone can, with the exeption of thyroid conditions ofcourse.

So, when I see a fat person, I just think that either they don't care about their health, or they do care, and are just making excuses to do something about it.

Either way, I pity them because that would be a sh!tty way to live.

What really amazes me is the people who were obese, and lose like a 100lbs. That is inspirational.

They are "victims"

Of?

 

[Francisco d'Anconia]

The increasing popularity of anti-depressant medications is not helping. I know of several women who got fat right after starting on those pills.

Other example of other issues which exist that should be addressed.

...I'm not defending them, I know they did a lot of mistakes in the past, but as far as I'm concerned you cant get into a time machine and change the past...whats done is done. ....

So the post saying that people should experience being fat, what was that about? Should people experience being drug users? Should they experience being alcoholics? Where will it stop?

Side note [rant]: One of the things that I have the most disdain for in the medical industry is the labeling of practically every behavioral failing or overindulgence as a disease; it's bad enough that majority of them are already addictions. Alcohol, smoking, eating, gambling, sex, porn, video games, Blackberrys/email/texting... This was primarily a problem in the US but it's been permeating Europe in their attempt to keep up with the greatest country in the world.

What world do you live in where fat people don't get criticized?

I'd figure a site like this would be likely to have empathy on a subject like this.

Telling a fat person to eat better and join a gym is like telling all of you guys to do some cold approaches. You know that it's what you need to do, but you're scared. It's the same root problem: fear. You have a fear of grabbing your balls and fixing your problem, and fat people have a fear of grabbing their balls and fixing their problem.

Everyone has their issues. Their cross to bear or whatever. What's the point in getting all worked up and angry at someone over their issue? Are fat people hurting you by being fat?

The reason we don't call a fat person "fat" to their face is the same reason we don't call black people "porch monkeys" to their faces. It's just plain rude, and it serves no purpose other than to hurt someone's feelings. Why would you want to go out of your way to hurt a stranger's feelings over something they most likely already have plenty of self esteem issues about?

I understand that if it isn't something you've had to bear then it's real easy to throw out a logical argument as to why people shouldn't be fat. Then you can write all fat people off as inferior to you, and you get to feel awesome.

Lumping all fat people in a group as "lazy" is like lumping all the guys on this site as "puzzies."

Not really... my tax dollars are goinng to cover the medical cost of these fat fuc cks...

I don't feel bad for fat people since they can change through surgery or lifestyle. Same thing can be said for those with an ugly face (surgery can help that)

I FEEL BAD for Short guys, because there is nothing that can be done for that and most are ignored by women there whole life because of their height.

BTW, I am tall at 6'0.

fat people are sinful, slothful, gluttonous, greedy heathens.

fat people are visual pollution.


i have fat friends and the whole big boned thing is bull****. fat people eat way too much plain and simple. they have no self-discipline.

fat people cause global warming. look at the obesity graphs next to the GW graphs if you don't believe me.

lets break that down

fat people drive bigger cars and get ****ty gas mileage becuase the engines are always straining. they also take up more space on public transportation and planes thuse making these modes of transportation less efficient.

fat people eat fast food. the burger meat is grown on cleared rainforest land. most of the food they eat requires some sort of forest to be replaced by cropland thus contributing to global warming. fat people are *******s.

fat people fart a lot(methane is a greenhouse gas).

fat people consume more of everything (clothes, food, etc) producing these goods creates c02

fat people make a lot more co2 and other gases when they are cremated.

fat people force the average furniture and other items(houses, sidewalks, doorways, etc.) to be bigger and stronger thus producing more c02 in the production of these good.

fat people use more of everthing. water, electricty, etc.

obesity should at least be heavily taxed, raising obese children is considered child abuse in England. so maybe being obese should be illegal.

 

[jesusrules]

thats there problem im not judging them on what they look like...let me tell you ive seen some big dudes with some real hotties man...so girls do like the big guys.

 

[The Experiment]

I was fat. Not since 2005 though. Went from 275 to 160 lbs. Now I'm 195 and lean.

Most people are fat because there's some underlying issue that they are treating with food. So telling people "Put down the ****ing fork!!!" doesn't really work.

Most people, even the "I'm fat and proud" people, know that they are ruining themselves but don't change. Why? Other issues. Eating away the pain. If people don't nip their psychological issues in the bud or at least try to treat them, then there is a good reason why they will never lose the weight.

Maybe they grew up thinking they were going to be rich, smart, and beautiful but wound up being poor, average, and ugly. Working at a ****ty dead end job where McDonald's Value Meal is the only good thing in their lives. You might say, "UH WHY DON'T THEY GET A BETTER JOB LOL" Well, many reasons. Some people are so thoroughly depressed that they don't legitimately know how to get out of their situation. Fast food may be the only good thing they have. Maybe they see the opportunity to change but feels that they will likely fail so they will eat a bucket of KFC instead.

You can take away their forks but they will just do something destructive to their bodies instead. Its best to get to the root of the problem instead of putting band aids on the situation.

Hey, I don't remember saying you should experience being fat. Hopefully not. There's a difference when I say that most of you are harshly criticizing fat people since you probably haven't experienced being fat.

But whatever, to each his own. Personally although I wouldn't like hanging out with very fat people I got nothing personal against them. Not all fat people are bad and horrible personalities, I've seen some exceptions. I'll have a problem with a fat guy only if it's something personal or if he's a serial killer. But right now I won't go judging and calling names every single fat person on earth.

 

[insanity]

i have been fat 1 year and skinny the next year and i repeated that cycle for over 8 years. mine was the worst kind of pounds anybody can get. LOVE POUNDS!!! it seemed i would start off in great shape and attract a nice looking girl my way and when the infatuation period began. all you do is eat and screw, eat and screw and lay around cuddling and all that jazz. the sad part about it was that the girls unfortantely went from hot to not in a span of 4 or 5 months.

after a long while of getting out of shape, only to have to return to the gym. i got sick of being a pig. this is probably the first time in my life this year i have stayed in great shape because i got so sick of spending half my life at a gym. but the thing i hate hearing from people is that i am now to skinny. i just told them i would rather be skinny than fat. they weren't impressed.

i hate shows like the tyra banks show because she promotes young girls to not care about what they look like on the outside....she promotes inner beauty which is good but half these girls are going to grow up big and not beautiful.

So your saying that I shouldnt criticize crack and heroin users because I havent EXPERIANCED it? That doesnt make any sense. If fat people are too lazy and dont have the mind to change themselves they should quit *****ing and complaining. The bottom line is that it's unhealthy and it benefits noone. They get hurt psychologically because most people will judge you by appearence. If they werent fat then they would be treated differently. Yes there are people who are disabled and who have thyroid diseases, still the majority of the fat population have the power to change.
