People don't prefer fat. People prefer curvy. People also confuse curvy with fat alot.


THAT'S curvy.

[Heavenly-Moose]

This is the stupidest thread ever.

[DrFrizzeh]

I think it is possible to be fat and attractive.
I also think people have the right to do and/or eat what they want, and the inclination to know what is and isn't bad for them.

Being obese is simply not acceptable, and every single fatty REGARDLESS of illness should loose the weight. Every food store has healthy food and there are gyms all over the place, not to mention all the help you can get from your local GP. There's no excuse :/

Simple as.

Wow.
What a load of bullshit.
Not everyone can afford to go to a gym.
Healthy food can be too expensive for some people you know.
Many overweight/obese people who eat incorrectly (McDonalds and such) eat there because it's affordable.
I know people that have dieted and whatnot for years, but can't lose a single lb. because of a genetic disorder.
Until YOU, personally, have experienced what it is like trying to lose weight on such a scale that you're speaking of, I personally think you'd best get your head out of your a** and figure out that you do not know what it's like and that every situation is different.

Maybe people are starting to look at what's really important. The personality.

You don't have to be thin to be fit.
You don't have to be thin to be beautiful.
You don't have to eat right to be loved.

And by the way, the acceptance of larger women was accepted and actually preferred long before this century.

I Completely agree!

My mother is obese and theres NOTHING she can do about it. She has a bad thyroid. She could lose the weight, if she didn't want to ******** walk anymore. She's had a knee replacement. She can barely walk as it is, she eats as healthy as she can and she's even on weight watchers but she barely loses any weight at all!
Not to mention my mother can barely afford to even keep her weight watchers membership, she's got to buy the food too.
Just because you're soo shallow you don't like seeing overweight people walking around doesn't mean every single last person with a bit of weight on them should lose it just to please your "fragile" eyes.
Whatever.
Get your ******** head out of your a**.

[[.Seether.]]

I don't think that fat people should be picked on but I agree with you to an extent. It can't be that hard to eat healthy and exercise enough to stay fit. I don't think that being fat is ugly or anything but it's more attractive and respectable to be at a healthy weight in my opinion.

I couldnt agree more with both your posts. I was obese for the longest time and it was because I couldnt afford to go workout and crappy/fattening food is CHEAP! Double cheeseburger @ McDonalds= $1, Fruit and a Bagel-$4 Chicken Bowl with veggies-$5+, 24 oz. Smoothie=$5+
Thank god I now make over $13/hour so I can afford my gym membership and good food, but a lot of people cant. I have lost 53 pounds in the last year and am still considered to be 13 pounds overweight according to my bmi. And I have tried! But I physically cant lose more weight @ this point. So people need to stfu and be tolerant of others! OKAY! blaugh

[Koko Talerico]

I dislike larger people.
With the way hallways are made in my school three people that each way 220lbs of just fat block up the hall. neutral
Just three, standing side by side. It's so annoying.
I've had three detentions this year because I can't get around them even if I shove them. |:

Also, I'm a good weight for my size.
I may weigh 105 & be 5'7", but I look more like 120 lbs. :]
It's an illusion.. oooooh.
Lol.

xD;;

Also, I don't want a boyfriend that weighs less than me & the guy I like right now is only 117 & he's 5'11". >_<;;
He's super athletic, so I'm getting back into shape, like running more. I'm really really flexible, but I can't run fast at all. Stupid flat feet. |:

I love profile comments & I love commenting back.

[hang on a sex]

I agree with you.

A lot of people don't have self control, and they are lazy.

because 1/3 of the population doesn't like to be told what to do
what i mean is that if we tell them to eat healthy
they might think we are patronizing them or looking down on them
which we are

Gratz on your weight loss!! biggrin
I'm currently trying to lose weight. I'm actually thinking of applying for "The Biggest Loser" I need the money.. plus it would be a great experience. I don't think I'd be featured though. lol

People like what they like.
I mean, I don't really know what else to say.

Not all fat people are unhealthy, though.
I'm porky but I'm not unhealthy.
I have a friend however who is thin and unhealthy.
Really, size isn't the best reflection of health.

But anyway...

There are men who live in other countries who prefer larger women.
There are places in this world where "fat" people are more beautiful/attractive/fit in their eyes than thin people.

Ever seen the movie "Phat Girlz" ?
It speaks truth.
