To distrust obese young people

I can understand chubby, fat, skinny, out of shape. its not really about how they look, i just don't get how you can become obese in their early twenties..

what the hell people are doing when they are so young to become obese. because it seems like it would be even harder to become obese than it would be to work out everyday... you have to eat massive ammounts of calories to get to that point. and it looks like it would be a giant pain and hurt right away (not even later).

a lot of people blame it on some obscure health thing or medication and thats bull.

the thing is that actually all of the young obese people i've known have been assholes or creeps or crazy in some way or another. i think obesity can indicate a lot about personality. like they don't care, they're consumers, they're selfish, they lack self control...

i don't assume every obese person is an asshole. but i don't think its unfair to use someone's weight as another way to interpret who they are. and its not like a strong distrust, but this is just how i feel about it.

    frozentadpole, your insecurities are showing.

    It's a lot of work and effort to eat so much and to maintain and gain that much weight. It AIN'T genetic, unless your studies can prove that the psychiatric component is genetic.

    These people are disgusting and increasing healthcare costs for all of us. And instead of addressing their problems...lack of exercise, intake of too many calories...they have people aiding them and giving them a shoulder to cry on.

    The Scooter Store...don't walk and lose weight...get a tax-payer funded electric scooter.

    Sue the airlines if they want you to buy two seats because of your fat ass.

    Obesity is NOT a disability. But having to take care of these fat monsters while their lounging in ICU beds CREATES disability for the poor nurses who have to turn them and lift them.

    Don't cater to deviant behaviour. Acknowledge it and address it.

    I gained weight at 19-20 by having such a busy school schedule. My days started at 6 and ended at midnight. Yes, i was sitting on my ass, but I was sitting on it studying physics, Chem, and calculus.
    Working hard can cause weight gain too. I care more about my intelligence than my looks. More people should, really.

    People who are fat suffer tremendous amounts of shame and self-loathing...they feel very self-conscious and the hell they go through living in a world full of trim and fit people is probably more than you can imagine. So grant them your condolences if nothing else. Have some respect for their feelings; they are human just like you and cry when they feel bad. They are not all a bunch of jerks; in fact, quite a few of them are probably cooler than you are, with your one-dimensional mindframe.

    People like you are why they are so angry. They clearly have emotional issues and you are feeding into their self hatred. No, it's not your job to solve their problems and some people are sensitive. But if you want to live in a world where people hate for no reason, continue to do the same. However be prepared for how it comes back to you.

    kkkkkk....

    YES, health problems cause weight gain. In my oppinion and in my knowledge there's no direct link between obesity and genetics but there definately are heridatry diseases that cause weight gain.

    i have respect for fat people as much as skinny people and more than vain people. i mean obviously fat is just excess weight and that's not that big of a deal. But obesity is not usually related to genetics at all. its very rare for it to be the result of a pituitary issue. there are other serious health problems that can cause weight gain like diabetes and hypertension. but there's just laziness too. i think obesity is a pretty strong indication of a lack of self control and habituation. i don't empathize with that; its everyone's burden. in young people with no health problems its more likely that the cause is the result- lack of self control leads to excess. and people without self control usually suck in a lot of ways.

    Genetics won't make you lift a fork or put one down.

    frozenanpole, its NOT proven at all and its fucking stupid to blame obesity on genetics. Thats even weaker than blaming obesity on a drugs or illness.

    • actually it is proven, it doesn't mean you WILL be obese. But it means you have a HIGHER chance of becoming obese then people with thinner family members.
      And just because someone is fat doesn't mean they eat unhealthy and don't exercise a lot people in my family are bigger (that's how I know it doesn't mean you'll be obese, I was bigger when I was a little kid and got older and started going to the gym and worked HARD to get the weight off at 13 years old.) and they are eating healthy and exercising my mom has lost 100lbs my dad 150lbs (and he had HORRIBLE knee problems and has to walk with a cane but he suffered through it,and he's gotten knee surgery and is a lot better now) . So just cause your fat doesn't mean you don't try and work hard. And just because your skinny doesn't mean you work hard and are active, yuo can be lazy and skinny or fat and active.
      Don't judge so much.

    where the hell is your compassion they have a problem it's not like they woke up one morning and decided they wanted to be obese, there is something seriously wrong with you, and for your information genetics does affect you body weight it has been scientifically proven, if you passed ninth grade biology you'd know that

    What is the deal with people making judgements about other people? Humans need to be more tolerant of each other. Fat, skinny, asshole, sweet, it does not matter if you are tolerant and accepting of people. The world would be a much better place if we did not hate or judge people that have not done anything morally wrong (killed somebody, for example). If you do not like fat people, then don't talk to them; don't focus on writing about how they do not deserve your trust. That is not normal.

    First weight is affected by genetics and epigenetics it's been proven, if you don't believe me than look it up. Second you can't judge someone based on their weight you have absolutly no idea why they are the way they are, what your doing is stereotyping it would be the same as saying all skiny people are control freaks.and the most likly reason their rude is that they we're made fun.because if your diffrent your bullied and picked on and as a defense mechanism they became mean to avoid being hurt more than they already were. It may not be right but it happens all the time regardless of who you are.

    You do know that your genes contribute to your body weight right? If someones parents are over weight then their offspring will be prone to gaining excese amounts of fat and can have a harder time at lossing weight and The reason most of the obese people you've met are rude is probly because they've had to deal with being made fun of their entire life, how about you actualy get to know someone before you judge them and maybe you'll have a diffrent opinion about them.

      studies can allege anything. i don't think anyone has transcibed a genetic code that infers obesity.

      if you're arguement is, they were bullied so that means that they can be assholes dont even bother.

      obese people are people just like everyone else, and they can be complete douche bags because they suck just like anyone else. i just think wearing 200 lbs on your sleave can be open to interpretation, rather than a badge of victimization like other people seem to.

    Maybe they got to be ***holes because it's their defense mechanism. They could have been bullied. That's how young people cope. Adults probably also.

      everyone has to deal with some kind of bully and we all have to accept it and chose not to be a douche just because. i accepted them as friends and treated them well. They were assholes for completely selfish reasons.
