Today's society has an obsession with thinness. Back a couple centuries ago, an artist by the name of Ruben painted pictures of women who were really fat by today's standards, but at that time were considered very beautiful -- the ideal woman! All the fashion models and movie actresses of today exemplify being thin as the ideal way to look.
The downside of being overweight, is that aside from the way a fat person looks, it is considered a health hazard. Obesity can lead to diseases like diabetes, heart trouble, and stroke. Some people just plain overeat, and consume more calories than they expend, and that causes them to gain weight. Also, heredity is a factor, as are endocrine disorders such as hyperthyroidism. But whatever the reason, being overweight has a negative effect on a person both socially and professionally. It is never right to tease anyone, however. If you are overweight, I would suggest that you try to lose weight for your health's sake, if for no other reason. And the benefits of having a slimmer silhouette will outweigh any food deprivations you may experience. There are some good diet plans available, such as weight watchers and Jenny Craig. Good luck!

Many people pick on you for being fat because they have not experienced this for themselves. They don't really understand how much it hurts someones feelings to be talked about like that. There are many people in the world who like fat or big people because there is more to love!!! Now personally I don't know how it feels to be fat , but i have many Friends and family members who are ,and I am a kind hearted person who doesn't judge a book by it's cover. Nothing is wrong with being fat.

Well, personally, this comes from all my heart to tell you that no matter how big the size is, they are jelous. Now, you might think 'oh, well how come!'. the reason they would probably be jelous is because how she looks. Some person may be so fit and so great, but doesn't look good, while the fat person looks gorgous. To me, I love people who are fat, im not fat but I think that fat people are the funniest people you could ever meet, they can make you laugh! Well my point is that why people tease fat people is probably because they LOOK better than them, regardless of thier size.

Hi sweetheart :)
First of all, there is nothing wrong with being heavy. The problem is, however, that a healthier diet with exercise would make you stronger and more toned. We all have different bodies and remember, the average size for a woman in the US is a 14, so don't be discouraged. There is nothing wrong with you.
Secondly, people who tease heavy people are or have one of the following problem(s):
a. They are unhappy with themselves and therefore it makes them feel better to pick on others -- the bully.
b. They laugh out of nervousness -- of not knowing how to deal with a heavy person.
c. They conform to society's stupidity -- shows that reinforce thinness to the point of death, stars who starve and have life-threatening surgery, just to be thin.
d. They are just plain shallow and have nothing better to do with their time than to hurt others -- for no other reason than they can and they know it hurts.
I say be happy with who you are and what you look like. If you want to be healthier, then I would suggest seeing your doctor, who can advise you of a weight and exercise plan. Also, Weight Watchers is amazing and inexpensive. A good support system would also help. The idea is not to worry about being 'fat' and focus on being healthy, happy, and yourself.
No matter what, we all are beautiful :)

I wouldn't worry too much about the people who tease others ... they're the ones with problems ... they act like that to make people like them or put others down to make them feel better about themselves ... I use to run home crying all the time when I was younger because kids use to tease me about how skinny I was & how short I was ... I was called midget for years ... mean people are mean people doesn't matter what size, age, sex, race ... they'll find any reason to make you feel bad .. for their own pleasure ... !
The best thing to do is ignore it, suck it all up & put all that fustration into something else ... like a sport, hobby, reading, writing ... whatever it is that will make you feel better about yourself ... don't ever let somebody make you feel less of a person ... if you know you're a good person then good things will come to you ... they'll get what's coming to them sooner or later in life ... treat others the way you want to be treated ... no wonder why they call it the Golden rule ... !

There is nothing wrong with being fat if you are comfortable with yourself. However there are a lot of increased health risks when you are overweight. I don't really know why people tease overweight people. It could be because they have low self esteem and they get kicks out of making others feel bad. Don't pay them any attention. As long as you are happy who cares.

There isn't a darn thing wrong with being big. I am 5'9" and 255 pounds and proud to be me no matter what. When we "fat people" are hungry we eat and there isn't anything wrong with that. What I do find wrong is the anorexics who go for days and weeks without eating or bulemics who vomit every morsel of food they have eaten. There is no need for that. I say if you're hungry, eat. Plain and simple. That is what food is for.
Trust me, I am not a nice person when I haven't eaten. I get crabby. As a matter of fact, my nephew asked one day when I was there did I eat first cuz I get crabby. lol
There's nothing wrong with us big girls. Just more to love that's all.

Being fat is not wrong its just unhealthy, there are some very beautiful women and handsome men out there that are thick! the reason why some people make fun is because they feel insecure bout themselves teasing some one makes them feel superior. If you learn to love yourself you will only feel pity for the people that tend to need to make fun because you know they are miserable inside.

Well, it is unhealthy and it's not pretty. I'm a "big" girl myself. Not huge but big enough. People tease them because they are bullies and look for someone who may already feel bad about themselves so they can insult them to make themselves feel better. It's childish and cruel. I haven't had anyone make fun of me though. I think it's about attitude. My sister was huge through high school and she was never teased because she was a happy person.

There is nothing wrong with being fat - and I'm not just saying that because I'm a fat guy myself. Stupid insecure shallow people judge others based on their looks. It's the same as those idiots who judge people based on their skin color, sex, sexual orientation or handicap - it's a dumb way to judge people, since we're all human beings and deep down we're all the same.
You have a nice attitude, XjojoX - I wish more people thought like you do.
