Do you feel differently toward people who are fat because they have a medical condition or a hereditary problem that causes them to be fat.........as opposed to those who are fat because they are pigs and just don't control how much they eat?
***And I don't know how I could have asked this any nicer, so please don't start in on me about being "insensitive" to anybody***

I have been skinny and I've been fat I think people need to be concerned with themselves and not worry or comment on other people. So ya don't like fat people well good be happy your not you don't have to be rude. I can't stand it when a fat person whines about being fat then 10 minutes later their pigging out ,but I can't stand it when a skinny person complains about being fat they just want someone to tell them their skinny. Who cares I like people for who they are not what they look like. Oh by the way I didn't think your question was rude. You can't compare smoking cigarettes to eating. You don't have to smoke but you have to eat, that's why there's so many over weight people. I mean who doesn't want cake, ice cream, pies and chips? It's hard.

people that are so obese that they are affecting other people need to significantly change their lifestyle. for example, my dad is over 350 lbs and my family worries on a daily basis whether or not hes gonna make it past 75, or if maybe he'll have a stroke or heart attack any day now. plus he uses being fat as an excuse to push people out of the way (WITH HIS STOMACH). but people who have health issues that prevent them from losing weight are a different story. they cant really help it. like my mom has diabetes and its nearly impossible for her to lose weight (though shes not dangerously overweight like my dad anyway.)

I was at one time probably 90 pounds overweight. Let me tell you that the overeating was just a symptom of the bullshit that was going on at my house. Codependency, physical abuse, all that crap. I'd still be a fat hog had I not gotten out of there, and managed to get some self esteem back. All of that, I got through a God of my understanding, and AA.
I also know that most overweight adult females were sexually abused as children. My daughter started gaining weight FAST when the judge ruled she had to start seeing her dad again; soon after she told what he had done to her. It's not as simple as people think, overeating is a symptom of some really nasty crap, it really is NOT as simple as just putting down the fork.

Sensitive subject. To be nicer you couldve said obese instead of fat...but ANYWAY I think big people have a hard time in todays world where everyone is supposed to be wafer thin. Lots of people might say big is beautiful and what not, but can they really believe something that is life threatning is beautiful?

I love all people.
The only problem I have with anyone is when their own self image is so bad that they drag everyone else down.
My sister is a bigger girl, but GORGEOUS. Big people can be pretty, too, and in fact I prefer heavier guys.
What gets to me is a fat person that is constantly complaining about "OH i'm so fat" or "Oh I'm so ugly" when they really AREN'T ugly and if being fat is an issue for them, they need to do something about it.

I feel more for the heredity problemed people, because it is not they're fault.. I am not that person, im the pig type eater, and i dont have any sympathy for people like myself that complain how big they are while eating a big mac at mcdonalds.

yes, because people who have it because they inherit it and who have a medical problems can't help it, but if you eat so much to the point that your fat its your own fault. But do I think fat people are any nicer than skinny people? No.

Its kinda like smoking. You know you are killing yourself, so why would you do it? Like eating. Your overweight, because you keep eating. So if you want to look like that, and you keep eating and eating, then thats on you. I do feel sorry for people with medical conditions that cant loose weight. And I dont feel sorry for people that can loose weight, but complain about how fat they are.

I dont judge people either way. I can certainly sympathize more with someone with a medical condition, but I dont reckon its my place to figure out why someone makes the choices they do. They are, after all, THEIR choices, and they are the ones that must suffer the consequences
