Do you find overweight people attractive?

[Lysander]

Stop implying that she's obese, she is far, far from it. BMI counts for diddly.

She is obese, you just have to look at her. 'Obese' means very overweight for your height, and that's exactly what she is. You don't need to look at any figures to know that.

Women Always put on weight when they are in a happy relationship. Best thing to do is Sack them every 6 months for a month or so & they soon get the weight off

Personally if i find a women sexy i find her sexy, A little extra weight doesn't effect this but a Lot does.

Can I just say, trying to do the dirty with a moderately thick-thighed girl was hard enough, god knows how obese people go on.

not all thick thighed girls are unflexible ;]
mine manages to put her legs where she wants including around my rather large torso!
*cough*

I think that too. The operation just makes them unable to eat as much so they should just use some self control and save the nhs money while they're at it. Surely if they can't control themselves then when the op is revered they'll just put on weight again?

they are permanent operations arent they, not temp?

I'm sure aren't, I can't remember what one I'm thinking of but I've seen women on tv have it. Sharon Osbourne did iirc. They are meant to be very risky as well.

Look at her, do you see her stuggling to move around? Do you see her not able to see her feet? Can she fit in a chair? She may not be toned, you can refer to her as fat (if you perfer the thinner woman), but she is not Obese. And you can't look at any figures, Obese is entirley down to the anatomy of the person.

Wrong tool mate.

You don't use a toothpick to lift cumberland sausage do you.

If you want some advice on this, call me.

only ones i have seen have been the ones where a section is cut off and the remaining is stitched up.

the problem with people like this are that its a mental block that stops them from not eating, so if it was a temp op, having the band removed would just mean they would eat like mad again, unless they had some mental coaching to deal with the problem.

Look at her, do you see her stuggling to move around? Do you see her not amble to see her feet? Can she fit in a chair? She may not be toned, you can refer to her as fat (if you perfer the tinner woman), but she is not Obese.

Obesity isn't a matter of opinion, it's fact. She looks heavy and short, therefore it is not unrealistic to assume that she is clinically obese.

Absolutely not. It's not shallow, its life. Although I am very much attracted to my girlfriends personality, I also love the way she looks as well. If she was size 18 or something then, whether right or wrong, it may change whether I find her attractive..

 

[snowdog]

Fat = ugly.

 

[~J~]

What about Dawn French though?

'cos I would!

 

[weringo]

She is butters

 

[OpenToSuggestions]

Fat people are not attractive. The severly overweight I saw whilst in texas (in mcdonalds obviously) deserved a good pointing out to by mate. The overweight americans are repulsive.
Makes me feel sorry for the ones who generally are medically fat rather than just liking chicken wings and pizza a little too much.

Got contradiction?

You cannot assume anything, it's down to her anatomy, for all you know she maybe healthier then you or me.

If she is a size 6/8 then a move to 18 would be a massive difference, however, if she is the national average (16) or not far below 12/14, then a size 18 isnt that different.
If you actually loved her and adored her for the beauty that she exudes (rather than the layer of skin on the outside) then you would still find her attractive... that is unless she felt like crap, then it would be hard for you to find her attractive, as tbh if a woman doesnt feel attractive and sexy then they wont look it regardless of size :]

You can see how much fat she is carrying, it's not like there is any doubt over whether it's fat or lean muscle... she's almost certainly in very overweight, if not obese.

you can be healthy and obese, the 2 are not directly linked.

You're getting confused between obese and clinically obese. Clinically obese is what you're referring to. She is obese.

What do you think she is - overweight? Overweight can mean just even slightly too much for your height. Obese means obviously fat, which is what she is.

I've always wondered about that - a gastric band is removable, right? Or is it?

But stapling the stomach actually reduces it in size and suddenly the patients can barely eat a side-dish full of food. So what happens when they reach their target weight? Move on to lots of fatty horrible stuff so that they don't waste away? Or eat every hour of the day?

Another thing affecting the obese - which is what has been my problem but in my case it was triggered by PCOS - is insulin-resistance. It's not quite type II diabetes (but it's on the way there), but basically the body starts to ignore the insulin, which is responsible for helping the body convert carbs and sugars etc into energy rather than fat.

It's ignoring it because the fat-laden body is going "Help! Metabolise away all this excess fat! Let's make tons of insulin to push it through!", while another system is going "Whoah horsey, too much insulin, I can't take it, talk to the hand, I ain't listening!" so instead of sugar and carbs turning into energy, it turns more readily to fat. Of course this leads to weight gain and a lack of energy so you can see how it can spiral out of control.

Obese people have been put on the medication I'm on (metformin), and unsurprisingly studies have shown some benefit, but that a strict diet/exercise reform is better - "Ooh a pill to help weight loss? Nice, don't need to exercise then! Another slice of cake? Yes please!" What's most dramatic is when the diet, exercise and metformin are combined, which is of course what I've done (though am lucky, I've found active hobbies I love doing and I work it into my daily commute), and that works very well.

Though I have to admit, I'm more likely to have some ice cream of a choc bar nowadays... Tsk...
