    How about because being overweight can be caused by binging and often poor diet? Because someone who can't control themselves isn't attractive. Or because someone who can't look after themselves very well is unattractive either?

    I dont have anything against overweight people though.

    or how about people with medical conditions who's body does not process things correctly thus making them overweight.

    There is more than one side to everything.

    I wear ugly clothes, they seem to fit me and my personality wonderfully...

    I don't know if people think I am fat, chunky, skinny, thick, obese, well toned, normal, morbidly obese or anorexic...I like my body though and all the cushion that comes with it...I've actually lost some weight by not doing a damn thing...and now I am just obese, not morbid anymore...

    I'm not saying that people don't get medical conditions etc. I'm sure some people do. But what I'm saying is for the mainstream the majority of people don't, and its not just that people are programmed to like skinny and dislike obesity because they've been brainwashed to do so.

    have you lived in a world without magazines, tv, billboards yet?

    when these things are constantly put in your face, the idea infiltrates in your mind. Making it so that a woman feels they can only be one way to be sexy.

    Now my arguement about medical conditions is not something I have. And I am not grossly overweight...just not as thin as society would have me be for "ideal' weight.

    who decides what is 'ideal' anyway? things like that are a part of a culture deciding what is acceptable and what is not.

    Defining fat is difficult to put into words, but I know it when I see it :mad:

    When I see someone really fat (the girthly challenged) I think ‘depravity” someone whose simply unable to control the impulse to shove food down their gullet.

    There’s almost a wantonness about it that bespeaks of foul things like bestiality, immorality, decadence, and degeneracy :eek:

    I was on Lupron made me gain 55 pounds, and me being barely 5 foot was a lot of weight, I didn't even eat anything, couldn't I was throwing up half the time... As soon as I stopped that horrendous shot, the weight came off...

    I don't really care what people look like, how much they weigh, unless they are someone who I care about and they are extremely over or under weight, I would worry about their health.. But everyone else can do whatever...

    i refuse to be completely obsessed with exercise and diet. i'm not gross, i'm not perfect, i'm healthy enough AND have hobbies and interests that aren't completely subsumed by worries over dietary intact and how many calories i burned at the gym. sorry, some people like riding bikes. i prefer to still have some nerve endings in my cootchie.

    lol.....well again....there is a scale that says when a woman is fat. It doesn't take in acount bone size. So weight could say fat but the person still looks good.


    That being said......I do make comments when I see a beached whale at the beach;)

    i must admit, i'm not beyond going for the first and most obvious insult available to me in the first rush of anger. i just make sure they're fatter than me.
