Is it normal i feel bad for people who are overweight.

It is really important to me to be healthy, to workout, eat right, and feel sexy in clothes. I feel bad for people that don't care how they look and don't take care of themselves. I feel I get a lot of attention and people treat me good cause I take care of myself. I can't understand why others don't do the same. Am I normal for thinking this way, or should I just let others make their own decisions?

    I feel bad for men who have small penises.

    It is really important to me to have a big penis, to keep it clean, use it regularly, and feel sexy out of clothes. I feel bad for men that don't have a big penis. I feel I get a lot of attention and people treat me good cause I have a big penis. I can't understand why others don't get penis extension surgery. Am I normal for thinking this way, or should I just let others be okay with having small penises?

    See how stupid, selfish and stuck up that sounds when it isn't about you and your qualities?

    This is the most obvious humblebrag I've ever seen.

    How about this:

    "It is really important for me to be an empathetic person, to think critically, help others and feel compassion. I feel bad for people who don't care how they sound and show their embarrassing social and intellectual deficits in public. I feel I get sufficient attention and people treat me well because I'm generally kind to them (until they prove they're not worth my efforts). I can't understand why others don't do the same. Am I normal for expecting others to value people for more than flat abs, or should I just let people continue to show their asses in the most embarrassing way without telling them they're shallow?"

    Overweight people can be healthy, feel sexy and lead fulfilling lives. The fact that you don't think this is possible shows your mental and emotional limitations. I'm sorry you're unable to cope with more than a small and limited set of experiences.

    Don't feel bad for me, love. I'm overweight, yes, but I see to it that I make myself look presentable.

    Instead Of calling someone fat call them portly or just heavy

    Obesity is a choice. Any Sociologists that studies cultures around the world will tell you that obesity is a disease of affluence, and most of the time it is not healthy. It is a leading cause of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and yes impotence.

    Eh, I've been on both sides of the fence, so maybe that's why I don't even notice weight that much, much less let it bother me. And you know, I'm actually turned off by skinny women. So too bad for them.

    But I was basically overweight about 50+ lbs for my entire life until I finished school. I manged to get a good 8-hr-day job that requires no time commitment once I leave the office, so for the first time in my life I actually had free time to work out and experiment with changing my habits.

    Right now I run 3+ miles at least four times a week, and eat a bit less than 2000 calories every day. That's the only way I can stay at 165 where I am now. Any more food than that or any less exercise than that and I start gaining weight - and it's visible flabby weight. Everyone's metabolism is a bit different. Some people can stay at 120lbs and eat whatever they want. Others have to work really hard.

    I think it's within everyone's grasp to get to a healthy, normal weight, but it's not sustainable for everyone. I know if I were to settle down into a relationship and had to raise kids and take care of a house or whatever, I wouldn't be able to keep up with this much exercise or such a strict diet. There are worse things in life than being overwight though (well maybe not like the 300+ lbs crippling, debilitating, morbid obesity, that's pretty bad.)

    This is what I mean. Weight is a choice not something you are born with. It is about being active with regular exercise. It is about reducing portion size, getting nutrition through fruits and veggies, eating foods that contain fewer calories, about avoiding dessert, drinking water rather than sugary drinks, and not drowning your salad in ranch dressing. It is a choice, something you can control. These changes will make you happier and feel better.

      Weight is NOT a choice, it is not always just as easy as "reducing portion size" and "avoiding dessert." There are real medical issues backed up by this mythical thing called ~SCIENCE that make it very hard for people to just change their diet and instantly become a size 2. Some people are naturally a size 10 and that's life. And that's fine, and IT'S HEALTHY.
