Because some are happy that way. What do you consider fat? 170 pds. or 300? Skinny body's aren't the only beauty you know. Not all people like little skinny people. My mom weighs 250 and she's 5'5" and has always got the most attractive guys because she's beautiful inside and out. Lets see, my dad was 6'5" and "skinny" and a rocker and was considered a heart throb by other women....my mom's current boyfriend is around the same height and attractiveness and latin! He's gorgeous, and guess who snagged him? A woman who may be considered "fat" by other people.

Guess what, it's genetic. You might have a low appetite and a high metabolism, but most humans naturally build fat for the rough times. Americans don't have rough times, so it accumulates. People who are naturally larger have an extremely difficult time losing weight, and to be Hollywood thin, they'd be downright unhealthy and face problems like a compromised immune system, eating and nutritional disorders, and constant sickness.
Fat was absolutely necessary for northern races. My Ancestors probably hearded Reindeer for a living.
Having padding has saved my life on many occasions, mainly on the river: I'm a kayaker, and unlike the skinny boys that ride the rapids, my fat keeps me warm. I can spend a long time in the water or exposed to the elements without the danger of hypothermia. Sorry, I'm keeping it.
Opinions on outward appearences are just that. You'd find large women getting a lot more attention from the guys in Europe or Russia than skinny ones.
Sorry, Farquad, your perfect little kingdom is inhabited by people you don't consider Hollywood friendly. Get over it.

Why do people ask such stupid questions? Please tell me how God made you perfect! No seriously, is there nothing about you that you find unattractive? If not, I have already found something and I don't even know you! If you can't see any imperfections on the outside, go and look at an internal mirror!!!
Secondly, do you work out? I mean do you take care of yourself by eating healthy and working out every day? Or are you one of those little b*tches who sits on her a*s all day eating whatever she wants and stays skinny? Ask this stupid question again after you have a few kids and see what kind of answers you get then.
God, you are so stupid! Why would you ask such a dumb a*s question?

Obesity is not due solely to what people eat. If fat people's bodies processed food the way skinny people's bodies do, they would have never gotten fat in the first place. I am not talking about "metabolism". I am talking about hyperinsulinemia - the precursor condition for diabetes type 2, hypoglycemia, in many cases obesity, and other "conditions".
I gained my weight because I was hypoglycemic (low blood sugar). Exercise would keep my weight stable, but I could not lose. Now I am on an anti-yeast, anti-sugar, and incidentally because of my husband's food allergies, anti gluten, and I am losing the weight without much exercise at all.
Why do we bother you so much? Because you fear you will end up like us. If you learn about hyperinsulinemia and how to avoid/control it, you won't fear gaining weight any more, because you will know how to NOT DO IT. Then, understanding us, you may become more tolerant, and less bothered.
For basic information on hypoglycemia, check out www.hufa.org. For basic information on hyperinsulinemia, check out www.mayoclinic.com/health/hyperinsulinemia/HQ00896

You are bothered because you have got a problem with your own self esteem. What makes you think you are so perfect? Why look at fat people if they bother you so much? You are a biggot and have no idea what some of these people go through. Its not all down to just eating crap, some of them do have other medical conditions that make it harder to loose weight and easy to put it on. I suggest that you keep your comments to yourself, and get over yourself, who the hell are you to judge?

You are the one with the problem. Why don't you do something about your inner beauty (cause you are one ugly son of a so & so). FYI, I'm fat because (1) genetics, (2) I like to eat & hate to exercise, (3) massive amounts of prednisone (steroid) for cancer treatment; (4) I'm middle aged and finally (5) I JUST DON'T CARE ANYMORE - my limited amount of energy goes towards important things.

Have you ever heard of GENETICS? There are millions of people who inherit this trait. My family for example, 6 skinny, me heavy.
Then there are the couch potato types that don't care. Think about it before you make rude judgments or comments, you may run into a guy like Butterbean if your not careful.

Because sometimes it's hard to do something. It could be a medical problem that's happening or they could be taking precription drugs that are putting on some weight and they are not mentioning these things to their doctors, so they don't know that these could be problems in helping them to gain their weight so they get depressed and eat more and more. Don't you think that they would love to look more healthy and fit?

They almost always have a Medical Condition, so some just really can't help it. They might turn you off because, you may have been Mentally Programed,without knowing it when young, that this isn't excecpted,as a good way to be.!

Thats not a nice question. and I am not taking it personally, because I am not obese, but I also do not disrespect people who are.
YOU are the one who is bothering people, all people.
