Would You Rather Be Obese Or Anorexic?

Question

&& why?

&& Im just trying to dicuss issues that have been going on. Dont get offended about a question that isnt meant to offend anyone.

&& you dont know if im skinny or fat... so how would i be offending anyone?

Answer 1

i would go w/ obese only because people with eating disorders such as anorexia have a HARD time overcoming it, which makes it just worst for your health. Plus, u can always become skinny (well in my opinion), when u're fat. Just go on a diet, exercise and there u go. I rather be something that i can overcome easily than something that i cant overcome and be miserable w/. And look at all those ppl w/ eating dissorders, they're just miserable and sad. But not everyone that is obese are sad, some that i knoe of are completely content.

Then again, i rather be "ME"

Answer 2

You are comparing a apples and oranges. Anorexia is a mental illness, not how thin you are. Anorexics can be perfectly normal weights. Obesity is a physical state, so you should be asking if people would rather be Obese or extremely underweight.

Answer 3

What I know of medicine suggests that obesity is more easily controlled than anorexia. Anorexia is more a psychological disorder that is very difficult to treat.

That having been said, I'd rather be too skinny than too fat. But both extremes are life-threatening.

Answer 4

eggh...what a question! personally i'd rather be obese since i like to eat, but i myself am very skinny and have had people think i was anorexic, which i'm def not. even though i'm skinny i don't like how our society has this image of a 'perfect' size and i am glad to see people who seem to be trying to show that size doesn't matter, such as Queen Latifah. however if i could find a way to look of a more 'average' size, i would.

Answer 5

Both are bad. And both you are at risk of dying. I like to be average. My dad is obese and my sister is anorexic his has heart problems and she has had 3 panic attacks in the last 2 monthes from not eating. But anorexica can be cured

Answer 6

i thought this is OBVIOUS to everyone in the WORLD!!!
it is absolutely ultra-Skinny chicks (or anorexic)!!! this is why:

for a girl to be HOT: she need to have a BMI of 13 to 17. above that is not HOT! BUT FOR A MAN: you need to be not skinny or FAT and MUST have muscles!!! or else people would call you weak and not a manly man!

Answer 7

Definatley Anorexic.

Because Skinny is more accepted than Obesity.
So even if you have a eating disorder, people will still think you're hot bc you're skinny.
Fat people are not accepted.
Skinny is the world's beautiful.

Answer 8

I was anorexic...and I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Kudos to all those who answered this question with a big ol'
"Neither!" And to the person who asked thsi question- when you learn that there is more to life than size. You will never hear anyone say, "oh my god, look at those thighs" at a funeral.

Answer 9

obese cause i love food too much. when you're obese you can lose the weight when your anorexic weight is super hard to gain cause its a sickness. I can be fat lol

Answer 10

None. They're both unhealthy. But if you're saying just regular skinny and regular fat, then I'd chose skinny because I am.
