How Fat is Fat?

Question

I was wondering wondering How shallow some people are, saying people are fat when they are 180 lbs. Well ok would you consider someonefat if they were 350 lbs? If they were 5'9 in height, and their weight was distrubuted properly? I'm asking this question because my Cousin is going through some weight issues she is a heavy girl and well she is very depressed that people can be that cruel and shallow when it comes to weight.

What is this world coming to, everyone has to look like paris hilton all skin and bones. I personally think it's gross.

Basically she is on a Pill for a thyroid problem, she wont be able to lost weight fast due to this.

Answer 1

When ur BMI, (Body Mass Index) is too high compared to your height. Can she not lose weight?

Answer 2

I have thyroid problems and I put on weight fast. She is more emotional anyways because of the thyroid.

I am slowly starting to lose. A pound a month.
But I was miserable people were mean to me and several asked if I was pregnant.
Get your cousin out. This is one of the hardest things next to having someone die, that I ever had to deal with in my life.

I was miserable. I even thought I was pregnant and thought maybe that was why I was so emotional. Then I found out I was not pregnant - just fat and that upset me even more.

Take her for a long walk and talk. Go to the gym together. Do something fun and help her. It is hard.
She can fight the weight and it will take time. But being healthy and not depressed is what is important. Excersise will boost her happiness.
I am glad I have curves - I would not want to be stick thin either.

Hopefully she has gone to the dr and put on synthroid or something?

Answer 3

it all depends on what the height it and the mass of someones body. you see a lot of people that can weight over 200 pounds but small. like you see in sports, but that is all muscle. you can also see a lot of people just be huge and there isnt anything they can do about it. but the real way to see it is, what do you think of yourself? its not what other people think. and if you think are you "fat" meaning overweight and not just being stuipd then you should work with your body to reduce the weight and keep it off...hope that helps (by the way paris hilton looks gross)

Answer 4

Give your cousin the book "You on a Diet", it's great.

Also ppl are freaking cruel, thoughtless beasts. Most are anyway. I can't stand Paris H either, or any of the other skeletons walking around wearing skin. Hello! Ask any doctor in most cases those women are MORE unhealthy than your cousin.

Answer 5

Totally agree with you! My daughter is 14 years old and weighs 150 pounds. She is a beautiful young lady. She is bigger than most girls her age, but she also developed at a young age. Her weight is in the right places, society is so judgemental and it is sad! Tell your cousin to love herself and if she is happy with herself, screw everyone else!

Answer 6

Look around you, how many catwalk models do you see.
If you (or your cousin) are not happy with your weight then lose some, don't do it because someone has said you are fat.
There are many reasons for being fat and few are food related.

Answer 7

when a person's weight affects their health, they are too fat. I like curves, but not to the extent that the person is endangering him or herself.

Answer 8

only if you think your fat, but sometimes we don't see ourself as we should, i was super over weight but thought i looked ok , i avoided photos and mirrors , if you feel bad when people say something you know your fat and don't want to fix it, if you don't feel bad than stay as you are... sitcks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me.....

Answer 9

i think youre talking about yourself not your cousin. but "when you cant see your shoes/and you dont know what to do/ better hit the gym girl/stop eatin all the food.

Answer 10

For a dude, if he can't see his ding-dong while standing up, that's FAT.
