everywhere i go or have worked at , i always notice that people that are overweight tend to be that way. WHY?
2006-09-21 04:08:38 · 16 answers · asked by Anonymous in Health ➔ Diet & Fitness
Low self esteem, fear of ridicule and being harrassed/made fun of,a little jealousy/envy,irritation from trying 3,000 different diets......
I am technically overweight, and I am not Bitchy to anyone, skinny or overweight, unless they are with me first...........
Of course, I have learned the valuble lesson that idiots will ALWAYS find something about you to make fun of no matter how perfect you think you/your body is because THEY are insecure. I have lost all of the weight I physically can and remain healthy. So now, after years of letting others comments bother me and bring me down, I just tell them to go to **** , cause who are they? Who CARES what they think? I don't anymore.
It's not right for them to behave that way to you, I know. Just try a smile and a little understanding with them. If that does not work, let them be miserable...there is nothing YOU can do if they won't do it themselves first.

I have been on both sides of this...and I never noticed anyone overweight treating me poorly b/c I was thin.
However, I am currently 5'2" 200 pounds and 7 months pregnant and the treatment I recieve from people smaller than me is appalling. This is my second pregnancy(my son was 9 months old when I got pregnant and I had not lost all the weight I gained from him) and people's attitudes towards me have made it so I don't like going in public. It is not fair to label overweight poeple as lazy or slobs...I am so far from lazy it is unbelieveable. Maybe while I have been big, I might look at thin people and get jealous b/c I miss being a size 8, but that is noone else's problem but mine, so I would never take it out on anyone, thin or not.
Perhaps it is your attitude not appearance that is causing people to react to you the way they do...

Could be jealousy. I think its more what you symbolize.
Just remember that you are a woman too. One day you will have children. You will sacrifice many things to raise those children (if you are a good mother that is) and in doing so, you often have no time for yourself. This is where women get depressed, feel overwhelmed and perhaps they have marital problems at this point too and will turn to food for comfort.
Here you walk in, all young and prissy with all the attitude and mind washing from the media of what a "desirable woman" should be....and that's what they resent.
Too much emphasis is on perfectionism....and reality isn't like that. Lots of women resent the fact they made sacrifices and get zero compensation for it...no benefits from being a stay at home mom and raising decent kids...no thanks for working a full time job, managing a house and raising a family....sometimes losing your mate to another woman because they're pricks who don't appreciate what you've done either....and for it all you get nothing...zero...zippo...you eat, you get depressed, you get fat.
Frankly, these women deserve to feel whatever they want to feel. You'll get your turn too honey, trust me! :~)

This is too much of a generalisation, because you have personally had a bad experience. Of course there are bitchy people, but they come in all shapes and sizes, including skinny! So don't make sweeping statements, because it doesn't get you good feedback. HTH : )

Because you eat 3 chesseburgers a day and a 6 pack of beer at night and still look like a stick. They starve themselves for years at a time and will always be big. It's a horrible position to be in and one thats likely to harbor animosity.

I know what you mean, I have experienced the same. That is clearly because they are not happy with themselves that they have to make the skinny miserable. it's low self esteem that makes them that way. Don't worry about it. There is nothing you can do cause it's their problem.

Skinny people have attitudes also. The "I'm skinnier than you" crap that I dealt with until I lost 70 lbs. Now that I'm skinny, fat ppl tell me I'm anorexic. Can't win fat or skinny!!!

Jealousy, I agree. Oveweight people just need to change their lifestyles and eating habits...not starve themselves...that just makes things worse. Patience is key...it worked for me.

They like to throw their weight around.
