my beef with the overweight/obease

i being one of the above mentioned have room to say this. when someone is obease and or over weight i totally believe its because they dont love themselves and are too worried worrying about over people. at least for me. If you love yourself, you are more willing to do things that better yourself

anyone agree?

 

Umm im slightly overweight...but i love myself...im just to lazy to workout from time to time...lol

 

I think they just have a love for food and no thoughts of what is in said food if it tastes good. Thats how I was at least. Then I lost 90 something lbs and my mentality of myself and others hasnt really changed at all. I just felt my overweight body really limiting my ability to do the things I loved so that was the motivation I needed to buckle down and lose some lbs. As for loving myself more causing me to lose weight eh not really. Just a love for things I loved to do and felt myself hitting a road block with them being so heavy.

 

if you love yourself then you should do what makes you happy
doing things that make you overweight makes some people happy

a lot of people do unhealthy things, like us we smoke. people are unhealthy in different ways

 

i am slightly overweight as well and I totally agree with veroness. I love myself to a degree but don't feel like i deserve much. I don't work on trying to better myself for a few reasons...1) if someone loves me they should love me for me 2)there will always be something wrong with me no matter how i look 3) i dont feel like my body matters as to who I am. I am a beautiful intelligent person with more than a lot of love to give, and I am very romantic, just mostly all of those on the inside. I need to get past this way of thinking but for some reason I can't

 

im talking physically. if i would love myself, i would want my body working really well. would like to be able to have a long endurance and eat really healthy. but either way one or the other has to come. I either need to start to love myself first or work on these things in order to love myself

 

I think it would work either way. If you hated yourself and what you looked like (like I did once), it should inspire you to lose weight.

I realized people treated me different, very below them. I knew this was a totally skewed perception but had to accept it. It made me feel like shit when I talked to strangers and it made it extremely hard to meet girls. I don't know, some people make fat look good, I looked extremely ugly and simply changed it. Feel a lot better too

 

you need to work on both at the same time in order for it to work. Veroness, I think you are beautiful, you should see it too

 

yay for being rail thin

 

not rail thin. healthy normal doctor says ok weight. Im 5'3'' so by the books you start with 5 feet for girls and thats 100 pounds, then for every inch you ass 5 pounds. i shouldn be over 115. hahahahaha so not close.

 

wtf, you're obese?

 

i know i have COE.. but i cannot afford to go see someone about it and support groups are all religion based.. and i refuse to listen to someone try and fill me with biblical bullshit

 

I was just talking about this with my friend a little while ago.She's always been big and it really doesn't bother her either.She has all the confidence in the world too.She just said that one point in her life she just ate a lot of unhealthy things.It's different for everyoneI guess.

 

Is that a recent picture of you? Cus you don't look overweight, unless you have legs the size of tree trunks, which would be scary.

 

don't be an asshole. When someone puts themselves out there and potentially makes themselves vulnerable, don't be a prick about it. Either share a story, share some helpful advice, or shut up and read some other thread.

its about finally loving yourself. i think skinny girls are hideous. its a twist genetically, guys think skinny girls are hot, but then they have trouble bearing children.
i gots me some birthing hips.

 

i see dislike for the overweight as a prejudice

 

what the fuck are you talking about all I did was ask a question and I wasn't the first in the thread to do so either. don't be an oversensitive pussy.

 

im not like having trouble walking or anything. i took my bmi and its in the catergory of being obease

 

Oddly enough, this obsession with being thin is a very recent thing - go look at paintings by Renaissance artists, especially Caravaggio.. all the women in there are what was thought of as beautiful and they definitely ain't stick-thin..

Personally, I'm overweight, I don't really care. If someone's shallow enough to judge based on physical appearence that's their fucking problem not mine.
