Fat People's View on Skinny

Why is it that fat people often think overweight people are normal sized? For instance, I used to be morbidly obese. I lost a lot of weight down to overweight status and stayed there for a while before losing the rest down to a normal size. At the point I was considered overweight and not obese, many of my friends, at the time were fat, would often tell me that I was normal sized, when in reality, I was not. They kept telling me to not lose anymore weight. After that, I continued to lose until I was a size 32, at which point they all told me I was too skinny while most other people thought that I was normal sized. I have seen this same instance happen to others also. My wife also did the same thing I did and lost weight the responsible way, yet she was told the same lines.

What terms? If you're fuckin fat, you're fuckin fat.

 

Jesus. That looks like four loaves of dough baking around twine; like four cans of Hungry Jack biscuits were busted open with a sledgehammer.

size 32 as in the waist of your pants?

 

I have fat friends, and oddly enough, know two of those women from the photo. They're both adult models.

I frankly get a little sick of fat bigotry. If they're taking care of themselves, WHO CARES?

Before I hear shit about, "oh, you're a fat bitch," : I'm a size two or four depending on the cut.

Yes, some people like fat partners.

Yes, it's just easier for some people to stay thin.

Yes, some people just prefer Twinkies over rock climbing.

Sure, I'll laugh at a fat joke, but I'm tired of just the seething hatred.

 

My mother is overweight, and has been to a degree for most of her adult life. But it has been a downward spiral for about the last twenty years.

Nearing the age of seventy, she had to have her gall bladder removed years ago. She has high blood pressure, type two diabetes, her knees ankles and feet are shot, and she is in more or less constant pain because of them. She is very nearly immobile, has to struggle to get from her house to her car, and has to use one of those electric carts at the grocery store. She cannot get a decent night's sleep because of sleep apnea. There isn't a single medical problem she has that wouldn't either be eliminated or greatly reduced in severity if she were 100 Lbs. lighter. She often has to be helped to get up out of chairs, and broke two chairs at my brother's house last time she visited.

But being overweight is no big deal, right?

 

Screw being the wingman for this one, Abort mission and return to base.

 

Nothing like a graphic reminder that there are worse things than being single.

But in response to the OP's concern about being overweight and the social pressure to convince the OP that he's healthy, I understand. For years everyone was brainwashed into clothing size, BMI, weight loss, etc... as markers of "health." People don't understand that size 32 waist doesn't mean you aren't fat. You can be size 32 waist at 25% body fat... that's unhealthy (for a male, anyway).

Toting around excess bodyfat isn't very healthy, regardless of bodily shape, weight, and general appearance.

As for those apologizing for obese people... why? They need to put the fork down. If a fat fuck eats 4,000 calories a day and sits on his ass all day, he needs to eat less and quit parking his car as close to the grocery store as possible. All that mental effect he or she expends to find the closest parking space doesn't burn any extra calories.

Now, I'm only talking about the majority of fat fucks and not those that are carrying extra fat due to medical conditions that were not the result of bad habits.

 

seems that for women there is always an excuse for being fat but men dont have that luxury.

Personally, I think this is one of those pics that according to forum rules are supposed to be linked to and accompanied by some sort of warning...

my grandma and mum are obese, have gall blader problems and sleep apnea too. its a pretty lame way to spend your life.

 

This is the corrupt American culture...were with each year consecutively fat percentage increases and climbs higher and higher. And fat has become part of the culture.

 

oh wow each year consecutively? i would have thought you'd pick the years at random. are you esl?

 

Here is another good example. I love to cycle (bicycle). I commute to work as much as I can without driving to keep myself in shape. With a few exceptions, the ones that usually make snide remarks and are rude are fat people.
