Fatties? Why do fat people always insist on eating?

Question

I like food but no when to stop - I exercise regular and I am the perfect weight for my age.

Should fat people look to me for encouragement and advice?

Answer 1

Sorry we cant all be perfect

Answer 2

No over weight people should not look to you for encouragement or advice because if the kind of attitude you have you will just discourage.

I really struggle with my weight. I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week for 2 hours at a time. I also do other various sporting activities. But when it comes to eating a healthy diet, I admit I fail. I tend to snack and pick, which I know is not healthy for me. Don't get me wrong I enjoy healthy food...but I just cannot always be bothered to eat a decent meal.
A couple fo years ago I was classed has obese, but I was not happy with myself, so after visiting the doctor I started an exercise routine and started going to the gym. I still am not at my perfect weight, but I think I have done very well and my doctor is pleased with me and the trainers at the gym are pleased with me.

But if any one I had met was like you I would have been put off from going to the gym. But thankfully the people I met and the trainers were all supportive and would often say I was doing well.
All you are doing is looking down on people that are over weight and making yourself better then them....which of course you are not better than anyone.

Grow up and don't post "stuff" like this on here. #1 just because you know when to stop and exercise doesn't mean your the perfect person. #2 Why would people with weight problems look up to you for encouragement and advice when you talk the way you do. #3 all people that have weight problems do not eat non-stop and doesn't mean they don't exercise. If you really knew about the human body you would know what metabolism is and know that all people are not the same. There are many different reasons why people with weight problems have trouble losing weight. You see thin people eating everything imaginable and not gaining a pound yet you see an over weight person eating one thing and criticize them. Next tI'me get the facts straight before opening your mouth and take a look at yourself ... oh wait i forgot your just the most perfect person in the world. And no im not a "fattie" in your terms.

Answer 4

People comfort eat because it's just that, comfort. They overeat to compensate for something else they are missing, it's a physical thing as much as sex or the buzz you get from exercise. Unfortunately with overeating, you create a vicious circle so that you feel bad about the way you look, but end up eating more to comfort yourself ...

You have obviously developed and maintained good habits, and that's not a bad thing. However, as food is many people's comfort, and they know they have to be strong enough to change this reliance, you might need to live as a fat person for a while to understand why people turn to food in times of unhappiness, then see if you could be a source of encouragement and advice.

Answer 5

Not necessarily.

There are many addictive substances in packaged foods (all of the foods you can find at grocery stores except the raw fruits and vegetables). The food industry does this on purpose to get more 'food junkies'. Some people are more susceptible to this than others (for example, the ones who have not been breastfed are more susceptible to addictive substances in dairy).
Why someone is fat has to do with a lot of different factors. They might have never learned good habits from their parents. They might not know what healthy eating really is. They might have never experienced the difference. They might not know how good it feels to be fit and slim. There are many more reasons for why they are fat.
Admit it, the general public is getting a lot of mixed messages about food. The food industry is very powerful and many products are hyped up to be healthy when they are MOST DEFINATELY NOT. People are being tricked for money. It is the capitalistic way: make as much money on people without even considering their wellbeing. I look at the food industry like I do at cigarette companies. The food industry puts substances in their packaged foods with the sole purpose of making people addicted to them.

When you are wise enough to realise that this is a social-cultural problem of industrialised countries (and predominantly the USA), and when you finally see these 'fatties' as real people who need real help, that is when you can maybe think of reaching out and meaning something to these people. It takes a lot to be able to inspire people and have a positive effect on them. Ego you don't need for that. : )

If you want to be a rolemodel, try to be an example in a way that doesn't offend other people, it is much more powerful. Think of all other people in a good way and you will see that your life becomes awesome. You will attract the things you want like a magnet, and you will be able to really make a difference in other peoples' lives.

No, I am not obese, I am underweight ("skinny")
B.t.w., how old are you if I may ask?

Answer 6

if you have a really nice body , and if you are willing to help you could look like an encouragement to them. For instance like a personal trainer.
But the reason for being fat could be emotional or their social circumstance.
If their group is full of fat people then that means they fit eachother and they dont care. Some haveit as a habit , lets say a hobby. Some just eat the wrong things. Some people have to work day and night and got no time to excercise .. there are millions of reason. But when one offers to help, and encourages them , then they will be convinced, and they might need some pushing but after three months, they will start watching how they look and take care of their health.

So do a public service :) benefit yourself and others

Answer 7

I think your question is a bit rude, not all 'fat' people (as you so call them) can stop eating, some people are heavy because they can't find the right way to lose weight sensibly. People like you cause others to become anorexic, a$$hole... No one should ever look to you for anything let alone encouragement or advice, knob'ead. You may be the perfect weight for your age, but your mental age isn't. ****!

Answer 8

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.

I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.

It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

Answer 9

Well I would have to say since you seem to be very insensitive about the subject matter I do not see how you possibly could be encouraging or even a role model.......I too am very fit and eat well and for me it is something that I work on, for others it comes natural. I sometimes do get disgusted when I'm at the grocery store and the person in front of me is obese and they have nothing but ding-dongs and frozen pizzas in their cart, but mostly I just feel sad for them; that they did not have good role-models in their life or people to encourage them to break their habits. Sometimes I want to be that person that helps out...but I would never attack them or assume they are over weight because they over-eat there are medical conditions and other reasons out their and I would not call them fatties either...how juvenile

Answer 10

First of all I am slim but i really don't like the way you talk about them. Yes they have more weight than we do but that doesn't give you the right to talk to them like that. Don't you see the society we are living in right now? It's like everywhere you go they portray the perfect person like a barbie doll, not all of us can be like that. Our bone structure, our dna wasn't meant to be indentical. Some tend to eat more because they feel good, or they probably do it just because when tehy eat they don't think about the consequences. Some cannot even help it. For example a smoker (they know smoking is bad for their lungs but some do it anyway to releive stress, make them forget about their problems or something else)
I think you should give them encouragement and advice rather than criticize them, they do need that.
They are already feel low and unfit in this society please they don't need more than that.

Answer 11

Well I suppose they "insist" on eating because if they didn't eat they would die! In case you didn't know being overweight isn't always a result of over eating or lack of excercise, it's sometimes caused by thyroid or other medical problems. I watch what i eat and walk for an hour everyday but I'm by no means perfect like you. Perhaps "fatties" insist on eating for the same reason dummies insist on asking stupid questions.
