It's just that they don't understand!. I mean, once you think about it, we all live in a society where only stick-thin woman can get on the front cover of magazines!. Because of this, we all grow up thinking that being fat only happens when you're lazy and don't exercise and have kids!. Most people tend to not realize that a person's weight can often be determined by genetics or just their metabolism!. For example, I know people who exercise every day and eat healthy and are really active, but even so they're considered "fat" by some people!. Also, as the years go by the type of clothes people wear (particularly for woman) involves more skin, so as the years go by, women are expected to get thinnner and thinner to fit that "perfect weight!." In reality, weight shouldn't be an issue at all!. I honestly think that weight doesn't matter, what matters is the person!. I mean, I've met incredibly thin people who are horrible, but at the same time I've met incredibly overweight people who are horrible as well!. I've met incredibly sincere people who are really skinny, but at the same time I've met incredibly good-hearted people who are curvy!. I honestly think that we all need to stop looking at a person's size and instead look at who they really are!. I mean, I know that none of us can read hearts or anything, but we really should try!. And yes, I think that some people make fun of overweight people because they feel insecure and think to themselves, "Hey, at least I'm not like them," when in reality they are worse off than them!. Does that make sense!? It's just this big cycle of hate going around all because we don't know what's right anymore!. And yeah, there's just some people who are curvy, and that's cool too!. There's men out there who really do like curvy woman, and that's something to be proud of too!. Overall, the most important thing is for everyone to be healthy and work hard to have their own healthy weight instead of what is supposed to make them "the right size!." By the way, sorry if I'm going off topic, but I would like to recommend to you this one book that might help, it's called "The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things!." It's a very good book, I learned a whole lot of things from it!. Hope I helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think others hate fat people!. Most fat (it just feels weird calling them fat) people are unhappy with themselves, therefore aren't very pleasant to be around!. Some that are just slightly overweight, and have no problem with it, usually have no problems with others either!. Those who make fun of "curvy" girls with boobs and a butt are probably jealous!. Most guys are turned on by it!. Personally, I am turned off by anyone who is extremely overweight or extremely underweight, but I would never make fun of them!. The way they look and feel is their business!. Just be happy with who you are and how you feel!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't know! I am fat, but I'm not lazy and I don't over eat!. I follow a fairly strict diet of between 1500 and 1800 calories per day!. I eat lots of veggies and only eat meat (I mean from any animals) 3-4 times per week and I only eat beef a maximum of 2 times per month!. Everything organic whenever possible!. I don't drink soda-no white sugar-I have a very healthy diet!. Also, I take at least 3 15-minute walks with my dogs every day and and I jog/power walk at least 30 minutes every other day, alternating with at-home strength training!. I am stuck at a size 18 and I really feel like I live healthier than most people!. But still, I'm fat! I need to lose like 60 lbs! It makes me so mad when people make fun of me or laugh when I go to a store that only goes up to size 13/14, because I live a healthy lifestyle!. I don't know why people hate fat people so much, but it makes me mad/sad!.

Also, about a woman being curvier!.!.!.I totally agree! I was looking at an Old Navy swimsuit ad the other day and the models just looked like skeletons in bikinis! You could see their ribs and pelvis bone-it was gross!. If I were a guy, I would much rather touch someone who was a little softer rather than someone who was all pointy!.

WHoa!.!.!.sore spot for me, I guess!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm overweight, and I just wanted to point out to people that not everyone who is fat is that way because they eat all day long and are lazy!. In my case, I have hypothyroidism and an extreamly slow metabolism, so it's extreamly difficult for me to lose any weight at all!. Most people don't think about the fact that there could be other reasons why some people are overweight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

human nature; people fear what they do not know, or do not understand!. in today's society in america everything we see hear and do is depicted by thin people!. in turn this opens the thought processes to be open to the idea that thin people are healthier!. (it is a myth, an advertising ploy) fat does not neccessarilly mean your unhealthy!. we as human beings are constantly changing in the evolutionary processes!. in earlier years, fat was essential to your lifes existance!. it kept your body alive in lean times when food was scarce, it kept your butt warm when it was cold!. today it is not as essential to your survival but it is still in your genetic makeup!. as for picking on others!.!.!.when you !.!.!.and we all do and have!.!.!.made fun of or picked on someone else!.!.!.did it really make you feel better!.!.!.!.or do we do it merely to conceal our own insecurities!? eat right, excercise, and be healthy!.!.if you are a big person, enjoy it and use it to your own advantages!.!. stop worrying about what everyone else thinks or does, and consider what you think!.!.!.your own opinion matters more to yourself than any outside opinions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I try not to judge anybody, and I definitely don't hate someone because of their appearance but I do find myself gasping when I see an extremely overweight person eating unhealthy food!. I was at a sushi bar and there was an enormous woman eating a huge plate of nothing but fried tempura!. I couldn't help but think of her in a negative way!. Why choose that!? The most unhealthy thing when you have so many healthy choices!? Especially at a Japanese restaurant!Www@Answer-Health@Com

People who hate a group of people solely on the basis of their size are just *****!. However, I did see something on a bbc documentary saying that in the past humans may have been predisposed to dislike fat people/animals because in those days before there was much obesity it was a sign of infection!. Don't know how well that holds up!. Needless to say that guy was pretty skinny!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most people just don't know better!. Not all "fat" people are unhealthy!. Nor do they all live sedentary lives!. They don't all have bad eating habits and not all of them eat large amounts of food in one sitting!. Some of them have true medical problems and are fighting against their DNA which does play a role in it!. Lots of them lead active lives!.

I am a horse handler and I travel with a Jousting troupe!. I am far from sedentary!. I eat protein and veggies for most meals!. What people don't know is that my thighs are as big as they are because they are almost all muscle!. I run !.!. I have great cardio health!. I work out daily just by my part time profession!. People take my "thickness" to be weight!.!.!.!. not muscle!. I can do 400 crunches without even thinking about it!. My legs are my strongest asset!. But, again, because I don't show skin and people don't see that its all muscle they assume its fat, and I get lumped into the fat category!. But let me tell you, I can outdo and outlast most of the men I work with!. That old saying !.!. "Don't judge a book by its cover" really is true!. Your usually just seeing the tip of the ice burg!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Curvey women are one thing!.!.!.but fat people of either sex represent an inability to control the most basic of desires; to eat!. No matter the reason, disease, buffets, large boned!.!.!.fat people are less healthy than their thinner counterparts!. They represent much of what is wrong with our country; dependance on cars rather than walking, eating as a recreational past time, and a pre-occupation with reality shows that aren't reality!. Lose weight, get a date!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm fat - there, I said it!.

However, I am active and healthy and I eat right!. My cholesterol is low, as is my blood pressure!. My doctor says she has never seen a healthier fat person!. Being overweight doesn't always mean that you are unhealthy!.

Yes, people make fun of me but I've learned to shrug it off!. Only small-minded people find making fun of someone who is different amusing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I really don't know!? Some people think someone even just a size bigger then them are fat!. Some people just don't like people built diferently!. I'm built a bit bigger then my sister, so she thinks i'm fat!. I'm fine because I have a healthy weight and a lot more muscle then her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm 23 and a 'thicker' girl and I've learn to realize that it doesn't matter what people think of me!. I surround myself with people that like me for me and I have a man that loves me the way I am!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It used to be in centuries past-that a man took a wife of larger size to insure child bearing, good strenght, and it meant they were healthy! wouldn't it be nice if it were still that way!
As, with anything that is not "norm" or different the general population makes fun of, even the disabled, it is sad with someone with a birth defect to go out in public and be mocked and laughed at-I think that is worse and like the other girl said, so many believe that over weight people are that way simple because they eat too much or are lazy-NOT TRUE!
There are MANY medical conditions that cause people to gain or even be obese!.
But, since magazine's and the "wafes" were introduced, society believes if you don't have that flat perfect image your not beautiful---not true! most men make fun of skinny women or flat chested a whole heck of a lot more than over weight women, in fact most military men marry over weight women to insure that they will be faithful wives and bear children when they are off to war or gone over seas! I saw so many handsome men married to over weight women, so I started asking! They said they were domesticated-stay at home types where the skinny ones were out having affairs and wanting the Hollywood life, and skinny in Hollywood is the only place you'll find them a majority! The average-average size woman in America is a size 12, and the average woman in America will bounce up and down a 4 size range, as small as a 5/6 may go up to a 14 at sometime or another and bounce back down!. I have never been over a size 12 nor less than a size 3 in my adult life (now a 5/6) but I know what It feels like at both ends and more confidence at a smaller size!. Even medically (besides it being more of a health issue for most) even doctors will tell patients "you are too fat" loose weight ( for pain high, blood pressure, cholesterol, joints, etc!.!._ and weight contributes to all, they just don't have the manners to say it in a unthoughtful way! I hated that when I was working, have some compassion!
anything that does not fit a profile, will be made fun of, and I think it is upbringing, environment, and their peers that cause it!
sad-but true
I wish we lived in the old-times where big was in and skinny was out~all would be good then! LOL
I have always wondered why "when someone is big, why they don't dress appropriately!? Why wear a 2 pc bathing suit or that 1/2 shirt!? Then they are asking for the NEGATIVE attention, dress conservatively, I bet no one would notice!
Curvy is coming back "in" too, BTW!
Hope that helps some!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
