Do you make snide comments about overweight people?

True

But you don’t play 2 ½ hours of basketball nightly at the local gym

perhaps not, i really should be more careful in future.

 

and as a mother how is she to have that time?

her time is vested in giving to others not making sure she is thin enough to appeal to someone else just so that it appears she cares about herself.

 

Please!

So, the reasoning for hating overweight people is because being overweight means that the person must sit and gorge themselves with unhealthy food, never get any exercise, is lazy and not worthy of the same respect as someone who is thin.

Hmmmmm.

STEREOTYPES.

Do you think that overweight people would CHOOSE to be that way? The world is made up of people of all sizes, shapes and personalities. There is no increase in the value of a person who has the genes that help them stay thin. The world would be boring if everyone looked like a supermodel.

It's a very sad thing that people make fun of others for things that are not in their control. The images the media force on us is not realistic! Maybe 5% of the world fit into the ideal body type that they promote.

I suffered since I was a child with eating disorders because I was trying to fit the social expectations of what a woman should look like. I made myself throw up, took boxes of laxatives, starved myself, smoked cigarettes so I wouldn't be hungry, dieted, took diet pills, drank epicac syrup, exercised excessively, you name it. I hated myself and what I looked like. I was suicidal. No matter what I tried to do, I couldn't get to the size that I thought was necessary. Nothing really worked, except on making me less healthy.

Years later...I have stop destroying my body with those terrible things. I have accepted my body for the way it is. I'm just a larger girl than the movie stars and models that society says are beautiful. Most importantly, I talk to my daughters about these things, and encourage a healthy outlook on self image and caring for your body properly.

I'm beautiful. I'm curvy. I'm sexy. I'm happy. I love my body. I accept that. My husband loves me. I get hit on by a lot of men, so I guess others think I'm sexy, too.

What I'm saying is, just be kind. Treat others like you want to be treated. Respect the PERSON. Don't devalue them because they aren't perfect. Remember that it's not always their fault! A lot of overweight people eat normal portions, and healthy meals, exercise and take care of their bodies. Some people are just meant to be larger, and they really can't do anything to help it. Once you have a weight issue, it's very hard to lose weight.

:::::stepping off my soapbox:::::

 

Oh, and by the way, I have seen pictures of the women on this thread who say they are heavier. Every one of you is absolutely beautiful. Beautiful.

 

it's okay. i already won.

thanks.

 

you are very kind. the bold and the beautiful

 

Thanks!

 

Yes I Do.

 

a little overweight or some extra flab or whatever doesnt bother me, thats just what the human body is

but when you get those fuckin obese people that can't walk up a flight of stairs without stopping for a rest and you see their behemoth of an ass weakening the legs of their seat and they're stuffing their fat face with a mince pie, thats when i get disgusted beyond words and offended at their existence


so while I would not say it to their face, yes I'll definitely make snide comments to a friend and I sure as hell think horrible things about them

 

nice imagery!

mmmmmm mince pie

 

I really like cherry pie..

when all things go bad, it always reverts back to pie..

mmmmmm..Pie

 

Its human nature

Just a little over 80 years ago, the fat women in the circus (considered at the time a Carney Freak) weighed no more than many women you see today at the beach, often wearing black one-piece bathing suits in the belief that it makes them look thinner
