They think we're lazy when it's mostly our metabolisms. Fatness is GENETIC in most cases. Why should we work out and eat only celery when the skinny people can pig out on McDonalds? I'm not condemning myself to a bland life just because I'm genetically overweight. I LIKE twinkies. I LIKE chocolate. I LIKE eating out. Why give these things up when they give me happiness and help me think? Dieting and exercise is torture. Most skinny people eat a ton of food and they never gain a pound. I was born fat! Don't hate me for it!

People hate fat people because to them, fat people represent the worst of human qualities and they fight really hard to be the opposite. They think fat people are lazy, greedy, selfish, and deluded, and they make themselves feel better by thinking that way. They might be just like that, but as long as there's fat people to laugh at and hate, they keep their own self-esteem. Whatever reason a fat person may be fat, that is no reason to hate them. Personality flaws are universal, and if you hate a fat person for them then you are hating just about everyone on this planet including yourself.



There's no mature reason to hate fat people, just like there's not mature reason to hate skinny people. If you hate fat people for being fat, without knowing who they are and why they are fat, then you're just a despicable, judgmental, ugly human being. It doesn't matter how fit and attractive you are, if you're that sick on the inside and so quick to judge others on something so superficial, then you're just a disgusting person.

Fat people are perceived as lacking self-control and giving in to their every urge. In the case of employment, employers do not want employees who lack self-discipline, nor do clients. No one said life would be pleasant where you only get to have the good stuff. Looking good is hard work, and you have to make a commitment to eating smart and exercising. Find something active that you enjoy, rather than just hitting the gym, if you don't like that. Maybe try dance classes, like salsa.

um, the fact is you don't get to be 250 plus pounds by being active. It most certainly has to do with laziness, and the fact that you don't care that your disgusting. Obese people living in social security that they have never even paid into. Genetics my ***. My aunt is my aunt and uncle both are over 300 pounds and their kids are both is great shape! My mother was a good 250 and I am not obese.

I realize that it happens before you realize it, but you could get off your asses and choose to change it, but you don't.

So yes, it is laziness, lack of self esteem, and and lack of caring about yourself in general.

I don't hate fat people. I hate what they stand for.

For some it's unavoidably genetic. Many overweight people though substitute food for bad feelings or simply don't want to put in the effort to be as fit as they could potentially be. Regardless it's no reason to hate on anyone.

okay, if skinny people pigged out on mcdonalds they wouldnt be skinny. if they only ATE mcdonalds thats a different story. if youre genetically fat than why are you eating celery? its not going to change a thing.

Most of us do not. Most Americans now are overweight. So if you hated fat people you would hate most Americans.



I just think many of them make bad choices with diet and lack of exercise.

I have a high metabolism and eat a lot but don't gain weight. If you like eating why stop for anyone? It's true fat people aren't that popular (unless they're celebrities) but just ignore them enjoy your lifestyle.

I don't hate fat people. I find most of the jolly, but yeah I can pig out whenever I want due to my high metabolism.

People have this image in which they want to see other people. n being fat is not following the stereotype. People dont get that you CAN be fat and beautiful and happy! and people need to stop judging.
