I know, it is a longtime thing probably coupled with various other problems, maybe from childhood. But I am saying it makes me angry that they destroy their own body without making even an effort to change it. If they do make the effort I respect them, if not, that's what I don't like.
How do you know who's making an effort and who isn't? Very nearly every fat person who I've ever talked to (or who's written an article or blog post I've read) has put effort into losing weight. It's not really escapable in a society that tells you that being fat is wrong. Some of them eventually give up, but there are sometimes legitimate reasons for that (this woman's struggle with bulimia led her to realise that dieting is part of her bulimic behaviour: http://www.xojane.com/healthy/im-saying-goodbye-diets-and-hello-pasta-bread-peanut-butter-avocado-and-full-fat-cheese and this woman stopped dieting after habitual dieting destroyed her gallbladder: http://www.xojane.com/it-happened-me/dieting-fat-two-whole-cakes-excerpt ). If and when somebody tries to lose weight is their own business, and choosing not to is not permission for you to disrespect them. When people do lose weight, they should do it for themselves, not because it's the only way for them to get your respect.
Hmmm... based on what you put I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. I don't think being fat is wrong. I think being unhealthy is wrong. And plenty of skinny people are unhealthy too, they just have high metabolisms. I just hate when people throw their health away. Last sentence I agree with completely. You should be happy with your body no matter shape it is, because I know if you are truly unhappy with yourself you will still be unhappy with it even after you lose the weight. I am saying they should lose the weight only for health purpose, it has nothing to do with appearance. And I'm saying this issue in particular because it gets less recognition than say, drug addiction or smoking, yet it could easily be the hardest one to get out of.
It doesn't get less recognition than drug addiction or smoking, though, at least in the US and the UK. Do you pay attention to the news? Every media outlet is flipping its shit about the obesity crisis all the time.
Is it normal that I hate when people are obese and unhealthy?
