well you've changed your post there but yes there is a genetic condition which mean your body never tells your brain you are full so they feel like they haven't ate in days most of the time, i can't remember the name of it but there was a program on about it a few years ago. Under those conditions it would be near impossible without extreme discomfort to not be fat.

Everyone else though has a choice about what they eat so they are to blame for their weight no one else.
 
nobody is asking who is to blame tho

twin sisters sat at a bar, cant tell the diffrence who is who, both overweight one eats 2 much the other has a problem and cant feel full, u dont know this your just looking from the other side of the reoom, does the one with the problem automaticly become attractive? i think not

another edit.

well then as weight is determined by how much you eat then, they aren't really fighting to lose weight are they, as it would be impossible if they ate less than they required (energy wise) and exercised so their body burned fat yet still not lose the fat unless they somehow get food from the air.

Loosing weight does not happen overnight you need to stick to a medically formulated and approved diet and excersise plan for a long period of time, not just do every fad diet and then say it's not my fault I'm fat.

You got your self fat n the first place.
 
why isnt it acceptable to compare?

everyone has prefereances its a personal choice if people cant udnerstand that then there is not a lot i can do tbh


the best way to put it is
i find some overweight women attractive
i find some overweight women to be butt ugly
i find some skinny women attractive
i find some skinny women to be butt ugly


i find some black people attractive
i find some black people to be butt ugly
i find some white people attractive
i find some white people to be butt ugly

no right no wrong end of story
they can be compared i just did it and there was nothing unacceptable about it
 
As if it's just the people with genetic disorders which have a hard time with diet. Are you so naive to assume that everyone else that's overweight eat unhealthy food? My ex had no such disorder, worked at a gym, ate less than me, more healthily than me, and remained slightly overweight.

A decent 3 meal a day plan for person A, with a superior metabolism won't have the same outcome as person B, someone without such a metabolism. Should person B, deprive themselves of the same decent meal and binge on rabbit food to adhere to a standard that's acceptable by you? Is that fair? A diet you deem healthy may be detrimental to someone else.

It's not just about going to the gym and eating healthily per se, it's about what you do at the gym, exactly what you eat etc. Some people think it's enough just to do these things but if you want to lose weight or stay in shape you have to have a real understanding - especially as you get older - of diet and health.

For instance, I have to be very careful about what I eat and drink to have a stable weight. In order to stay in shape I have to watch what I ingest, and every meal I prepare or buy is thought about - it has to be. I'm 28 and though I'm not 'past it' in any sense, I can't eat anything I like as I used to be able to in my late teens and early 20s.

Basically what I'm saying is that people aren't "just fat" no matter what they do. If you want to lose weight you have to put work in and understand how your own body operates.

This is certainly true, it's all relative and in a sense this reaffirms my above comments. Person B certainly does not have to eat rabbit food but if they want to stay slim because they have an inferior metabolism they should just eat more healthily. It's not about how much you eat but what you eat. You can still have huge dinners that make you satisfied - it just depends what they are.

Not being a size 8 with massive bazookers, I'm far too lazy to do any such thing. An after all, this is just my opinion, feel free to dismiss it as the thick ramblings of a fat bird.

Thats a bit harsh, I got the impression he was going to check those posts to see if they broke the forum rules. It's not Zefans fault you don't like someones opinion.
 
^^ I agree.
I certainly didn't mean to upset any people that consider themselves over weight. My comments related to real fat people Not curvaceous people. I like my women with Curves :cool:

You can lick mine if you want, I took the dog for a walk this morning so they're a bit mudded up and need a clean :p

This is an internet forum where people are allowed to express their opinions, unfortunatley because it is not a face to face environment people express those opinions a little more bluntly than usual,

As for 'should not be acceptable', who the hell are you to say I am not acceptable? Substitute "fat person" for "homosexual", and its illegal, its discrimination, boohoo, poor queers whatever shall we do.

Homosexuals don't chose their sexual orientation, the vast mojority of overweight and obese people are that way due to over eating, a bad diet and no exercise. People in this thread have given reason as to why they don't find fat people attractive, not everyone has just said ZOMG FAT PPL R FAT LOLZ

People go out of their way to defend goths, hippies, muslims, jedis etc saying ' its their life, as long as it doesnt directly affect me, what does it matter? As soon as its an overweight person its 'i hate them all, they eat so much and have the audacity to breathe my air'

People are entitled to their opinon, just because you find them uncomforatble reading doesn't make them any less valid, if you see any posts that you do find offensive, use the RTM function. I know I have when reading some of drivel El Razur posted before he got banned.

Cost the taxpayer money? probably not as much as the idiots who beat each other senseless after the pub, or who smoke themselves to death or even the 6 hour queue of sports related injuries we have to sit in in A&E in order to be seen because we managed to hack our own thumb off/electrocute ourselves/get a saucepan stuck on our heads.

Idiots knocking each other about outside a pub are derided more that fat people will ever be on here. The fact that obese people are more suseptable to diseaes such as Type 2 diabetes means that they are more likely to need lifelong treatment paid for by the NHS/taxpayer.

To be honest, im used to taking crap from complete strangers for something that is none of their business and doesnt affect them at all. I'm used to dealing with constant casual insults. I'm used to constant prejudice and discrimination. It doesn't seem right or fair, but I'm used to it, and I'm fat, so what do you care?

For what it's worth I don't think fat people should be insulted at all, but by enlarge I've of the live and let live school of thought.(well apart from people who commit capital crimes)
 
Well I've read most of this thread and yes, I am fat. I am 5'9 and at the last time I checked I weighed 23 stone. I have been happily married for 14 years but would definitely consider myself to be both unhealthy and unhappy with my weight.

How did I get here? No one factor is to blame and I don't want you to think of this as a big sob story post. All of the following have contributed, Abuse from stepfather, bullying, lack of social skills, fear of general public, fear of confrontation, depression, comfort eating and shame.

However, I am now 37 and have dealt with a lot of it. I am now an IT trainer and present to large groups of people on a regular basis. I am no longer as afraid as I used to be. But I am still fat. The first thing a client sees is my size and I know what they are thinking, "Whoa, who ate all the pies?"

My point is that it is never, ever that simple. I don't believe that any fat person is particularly happy about being fat. We all have a 'different' (for want of a better word), relationship with food. a lot of us develop extremely complex defense mechanisms to protect ourselves in public, which are exhausting to maintain.

So does fat = ugly? No I think ugly = ugly and that has more to do with the person.
 
It could/should have been a really interesting debate or conversation. Now it's just turned into a "all people who are overweight should be nuked for being lazy mofos... blah blah blah... it's their fault... blah blah blah..." whereas the turns of phrases that could have been used could have been much more constructive. i.e. "overweight people aren't ugly, they just don't appeal to me - however that is less of an issue for me than....." etc...

Bah :/ Sometimes I just think people just like to wind people up.

I think this is what a lot of people don't realise. They think because they don't each much it must be low in calories.
Everyone who thinks they are overweight but don't eat a lot should weigh everything they put into their mouth over the course of a week and record the calories (plenty of resources on the web to do this)

I made a huge stir fry last night with loads of beansprouts, spring onions, mange tout and baby spinach in it and some chicken breast and noodles.
It was a huge plateful but came in at around 550 calories.
A similar amount to a single king size mars bar.

First decent post i've read on this topic...

People don't get fat just because of eating. You may be walking down the street with a women who is over-weight but would do anything for you, yet on the other side of the road would be a thin women who has no personality and thinks she is too good for everything *reminds me of the song by the streets - Fit but you know it*
These are the kinda women i cant stand. They may be hot as owt, but they have no personality.
People base there attractions on looks, NOT anything else.
So what if a women is over-weight. if you love them you ain't gonna care are you???

Hmm nice idea that, I might try that.

I generally eat so that I'm full every night. Recently I seem to have picked up a habit of stuffing myself with chili con carne with rice at dinnertime. Two plates of the stuff certainly make me full and comes to about 700-800 calories overall. Why do people eat starters and dessert when they stay in? It's totally unnecessary and nothing short of pigging out.
