why do people judge fat people?

Question

i used to be really fat.but now thanks to god i lost weight.but how come people who have never been fat think that fat people are lazy and they think its so easy to lose weight.because its not easy to lose weight at all.it takes a lot of hard work to lose weight.

Answer 1

Its them same reason why people judge people with severe acne. In both cases, it is assumed that if the person with the condition works hard enough, they can rid themselves of the condition. It's a sad truth, but nonetheless, the general public tends to look down upon people who do not display ideal physical attributes; presumably because society considers it to be the fault of these people for not being ideal. The same concept can be applied to why many people do not aid those who are homeless, with the notion being that the fact that they are homeless is their own fault. So why do people judge fat people? Because people think that these fat people caused the obesity themselves.

Answer 2

I agree and I disagree. I was also very overweight and found the strength to lose 5 stone and am now a normal weight, so i see both sides of the story as you do. BUT most people become overweight through their own making and then I agree it's a slippery slope that is very, very difficult to pull yourself out of but the beginning of being overweight is preventable. People citing medical or genetic reasons are 9 times out of 10 talking crap. This may sound harsh and I apologise but you have to see the logic in what i'm anout to say. No-one came out of Belsen overweight, saying 'well, it's my underactive thyroid'.

You are right though. Insulting fat people is bad and it is difficult and they do need society's support but they are not blameless victims in their fate.

Answer 3

believe me i used to be fat as well. and it is true i was a lazy mf. all i liked to do was sit down and play videogames, now i am a memeber of the swim team, and i am uber strong and dam i am sexy. but yes most fat people are lazy with exersise( thats the reason why they are fat). and i do agree with you loosing weight is not easy, its all routine training and hard work. but these fat people need to find the time and the will to get off their asses and work hard like you and i did. considering it only takes 15 minutes minimung to get a good workout. so the finnal answer is are all fat people lazy? with exersise yes but they cant be lazy with other stuff cuz there is successfull fat ppl in the world

Answer 4

This sounds extra like a rant which you relatively want human beings to believe than an surely question. That being suggested, i do no longer disagree with you. i'm very in contact for my obese pals, relatively people who do no longer seem to make any attempt to alter their life. I form of want it became socially appropriate to without delay up point out to a fat guy or woman, "you certainly would desire to drop some pounds," no longer in a malicious way, yet in the comparable way you are able to tell somebody with an undesirable drug habit, "you certainly would desire to end messing with drugs." i think of the reason the "fat" project is so delicate is by using the fact it has an obtrusive influence on the guy's actual visual attraction, and the majority in our superficial society are very delicate appropriate to the way they look.

Answer 5

Its not just obese people that are judged. It is anyone and anything that the people "judging" is out of their so called realm of "norm". You ask why? There are several reasons based upon different people.....

1) They "judge" others in order to feel better about themselves.... i.e. being able to make themselves feel superior in their own mind

2) revert back to answer 1, because whatever excuse they use, it always refers to their own low self esteem, and talking aka "judging" others (especially over the internet) somehow gives them a feeling of power and control, that they do not have in their own personal lives.


Congrats on all your hard work!! You prolly are already reaping your rewards! Once again, congrats! You worked hard and I know you can acheive anything you set your mind to!

Answer 6

I suppose they judge overweight people the same way they judge drug addicts. Some people are overweight due to medical reasons or mobility problems but the stereotype is that all people who are overweight eat too much and therefore just a more sociably acceptable addict. You've done really well to shed the excess weight, it must've been hard work. Well done, you should be proud of yourself.

Answer 7

I don't. I think often times obesity is to be blamed on our society being overpaced. In big cities, too many people don't even have time to exercise and cook a decent meal. Our country needs to slow down.

Answer 8

Do not believe them because that is only their comment. In truth slim people are envying the fat ones and they really wanted to be like you

Answer 9

i understand where your coming from it is sad that people do judge, but they always have if they don't understand what they see and most of the time it's to make themselves feel better about there own faults that they have.they say beauty is only skin deep pet i think it's true for most people.
