Look I see it like this,- Looks and weight change for everyone through out the years of thier life- why not let people live thier life in peace, god knows that it is hard enough.

Answer 1

For all of the people out there who said things like "stop eating cheeseburgers" you need to understand that often there are other factors at work. I'm overweight for the first time in my life. (I'm 51) I was a mail carrier in the post office for almost 20 years on street routes. I walked at least 6 miles/day. carrying the mail bag. When I broke my ankle & could no longer do this, I gained weight. I now have osteoarthritis in it. I don't eat a lot, but I'm not getting the exercise I did. I can swim & do low impact excersises, but anything involving my ankle is out. Some people are just mean & others have no compassion. As I say to the religous nuts....."judge not, lest ye be judged!"

Answer 2

People like me (call me fat, obese, overweight, enormous - all are OK becuase that is what I am) are stared and gawked at becuase there is more of us to see. I know that when I sit, walk, waddle, eat, swin, shop or travel, many watch and are surprised I get around at my size. That has never bothered me. I reached my size based on my own choice to gain weight and i have done so very successfully - over 300 pounds to reach over 550 poiunds. For those who are not comfortable with the stares, gawks, comments or jokes, you have some choices. Assuming you want to keep your size (which is my choice) then either ignore their efforts or in a polite but direct way return the effort. Something like "I am happy you noticed how fat I am; I noticed how skinny you are. I am happy - are you?"

Answer 3

I don't make fun of them. I do feel that many of them live in pain and misery of obesity, and they use the excuse that there is nothing they can do about it. I agree that we should not cause them emotional pain, but I also think that many, not all, could do more to relieve themselves of the physical burden of being fat. Also, I blame many parents for fat children. They should take an active role in helping regulate their diets and ensuring that they get the proper exercise. After all, adults frequently mock fat people, but we all know that children take the brunt of it from their peers, and children are affected more by mocking than adults. So love the fat people, but don't excuse them for their own failure to try. I'm not saying that all people can be skinny, but all people can become fit through diet and exercise. One more side opinion... One thing I hate is when fat people wear revealing clothes. If they want to avoid mocking, your wardrobe can seriously diminish the amount given.

Answer 4

Why do you use the word fat? Couldn't you be more polite and say overweight? Maybe they don't want to change their weight. Maybe they aren't in pain. Maybe they are happy with how they look. Personally, I think a woman that is a size 7, trying to be a size 5 is in more pain than a woman that is a size 20. I'm slender, in excellent shape, young, energetic, happy, and beautiful. I don't have any imperfections, because I'm me. I think that many men and women that are overweight have accepted themselves because they realize that it doesn't matter if society accepts you. The only thing that matters is if you accept yourself. However, I would never use the term fat. Fat is stored energy, it's in your food, it is stored in your body, but it is not a description. It's a derogatory word that is used by ignorant people.

Answer 5

Quite honestly, people tend to just be mean and like to laugh at others expense.

Apparently they were not taught as children to not point, not make fun of, and be accepting of others. Just imagine these kids grew up into adults who do this, who then have kids, and see what their parents do - which then equals problem children.

Now before you all get your panties in a bunch - this does not apply to everyone, just those who like to make fun of anyone, fat, skinny, color, hair, disability - - those are the ones who grew up from children into adulthood watching their parents do these types of things.

So parents - teach your children to be accepting!

Answer 6

im heavyset and i get compliments alot. Its how you carry yourself. Males like me, I have friends of all sizes, and I dress nice. People don't stare n laugh, and If they do who cares? Im me, and Im not gonna force myself to lose weight so that i can be smaller and people will find another way of trying to judge me. nope lol.

Answer 7

Everyone has their stereo types. You do I do. But I agree sometimes people should keep their thoughts to themselves. If people are uncomfortable with themselves they should also find ways to deal with it.

Answer 8

some people look better thick...not OBESE...not dangerously huge but not skinny...like star Jones...i think she looked better thick, now she just looks weird, but some people have no heart or compassion and hey would never think to say how would i feel if that were me...but what goes around comes around...

Answer 9

because those people who make fun of them are shallow people with imperfections of their own and they just don't want to admit that they have their own flaws

Answer 10

because they want to be lazy and don't take their time to perfect their image, rather spend their time eating ridiculous amounts of food an expect to be treated with respect? just opinion
