I have been heavy all my life n I have never let anyone get me down about my weight I let em know its none of their damn business. I have a thyroid problem. good luck n stay happy

Answer 2

People are very judemental and rude, that's why. Try not to let it get ya down--I know, it's very hard!! I've been dealing with the stereotypes all my life, too. Oh--and to all of the assholes on this site that just answered ignorantly?? U guys need to shut the **** up and seriously get yourselves educated before you make comments like that. Number one, you don't know us-WHO THE HELL ARE YOU to assume we are lazy and we overeat? And number two, do you know there are several reasons a person can be overweight? Health problems, heredity, having a baby, etc. And number three, if it were that easy like you guys are saying it is to stick to a diet and exercise plan and "not eat so much" don't you think every single person in this world would be skinny??!! Get a freakin' life, morons.

Answer 3

Because of society and the way they were raised.
I've always been a thin women with nice curves but have never judged a big person.
Many "big people" have thyroid problems which causes them to gain weight.
Some "big people" have eating disorders caused by a chemical imbalance to their brain that causes them to eat non-stop without realization of weight gain.
Some people have no comprehension of when they're full.
Some people use food as a source of relief to the depression in their life (just like cutting, anorexia, etc) which causes them to become obese.
Sadly, most people do not think about this and would rather instead poke fun at people with larger shapes. Those who do that are insecure with themselves and have nothing better to do anyway.

If you count the calories you eat each day and all you eat and keep track of it for one week. You will probably find that you consume more than you need for your height. Also keep track of the size of your servings too. Any snacks and any soda's too.

My Dr had me do that because I was under weight and what i consumed came to 1,000 calories a day. I am 5-6.

People who are over weight are that way because of the amount and type of food they consume in relationship to the exercise they do. I worked with a lot of overweight nurses and at meal time they usually consumed twice what I did plus their snacks and many of they would walk very little. They usually sent the Nurses aides to do a lot of their work. I have not found to many other reasons for people to be overweight. My daughter in law I love her but worry because she is 5-3 and weights 400 pounds. She eats a lot, loves to cook and cooks rich meals. She sets on the couch most of the time watching TV or talking on the phone. She does not get up and walk a lot not even in the house. I find candy hidden in a lot of places in her house and she eats a lot of sweets. I never tell her anything because its how she wants to be and she treats me good and is a good mother to our grandson.

Do you keep your calories down according to your height. Do you eat a lot of sweets. Do you walk at least a mile a day.

I use to do admission assesments and ask people what they ate before coming to the hospital. Just a little breakfast to me is a hard boiled egg and a glass of milk and maybe coffee. For some it was half a pound bacon, two eggs, toast, muffins and 4 dougnuts. Milk and coffe and then soda in thier drinking mug. They had usually gained 50 or more pounds in their pregnancy. So were so heavy that it was had to tell they were pregnant.

Answer 5

People can be shallow sometimes and they judge people by appearances. Television impacts the thinking of a lot of people and they see all of these shows on obese people and they gather the little bit of information that overweight people eat a lot. It isn't always true. My best friend at church was overweight but it had to do with her thyroid. She tried to keep it under control the best she could and she had to learn to ignore what people said about her.

Answer 6

I guess thats just like why do people assume that people that are skinny dont eat at all or anorexic? Eatting more equals more calories and 3,000 calories equal a pound. I guess people assume that because they are narrow minded and they dont understand what its like to not be the "prefect size". The average size of a woman in america is size 16. That is amazing. Most people dont know that and just call everyone fat.

Answer 7

Some people are stupid. Look at how easily girls fall in love on this site. There are many reasons for a person to be overweight, none of which have anything to do with overeating.

Answer 8

The only other way to become over weight is by not excersising enough.

The real issue is weather or not it's her fault. I personally know a girl who had a brain tumor in an area that controls appitite, and aften surgery to remove it, she couldn't stop eating. She eats all the time, but I wouldn't consider her a pig. In fact, I got to know her, and found out she's a very nice person. I care about her, and hope more people can be understanding, and not judge people who have a few more pounds than we do.

Answer 9

Because some people are just ignorant and do not want to take the time out and find out about these things.I knew this little boy when I was 8 or 9 and he was about the same age as I was,and he was really big,so I use to pick on him all the time.But when I was in 7th grade my mother told me that the same little boy I use to pick on died in his sleep because he could not breath.And she also told me he had some kind of disorder that made him gain weight very fast.I went to his funeral and apologized for being so mean when I was little.That changed my life.

Answer 10

Honestly, it's because the "other" fat people seem to not care about their weight....and sit with a chocolate bar, a coke and big mac. True, it's not fair to the ones that don't abuse their bodies....but unfortunately it's a stigma..... fat=food. Even though a great deal of it is just their making...their hereditary....some just give the overweight a bad name.
