re: Do You Respect Fat People?

1. Obvious troll is obvious.
2. Visit a Walmart in the general Pittsburgh area and get back to me about the fat people in Louisiana

I respect anyone that earns it.
One of the best managers I had was fat. I mean dude went 300 and 5'10. Wasn't lazy and he is a big time hunter.

I can respect fat people, of course. You are an arrogant, short-sighted douche if you can't.

I don't respect the fat aspect though. And i don't think being fat should be socially acceptable.

but it isn't all about laziness. especially not physical laziness. I'm not even sure what laziness is. There are plenty of people with depression and anxiety issues that may appear lazy to you. I have sympathy for their illness, and that doesn't stop me from "respecting" them.

also, our systems--society, gov, culture, medicine, insurance, other health-related systems, FDA, work, school, entertainment, etc etc are stuck in a non-science diet realm that keeps rendering (pardon the expression) people fat and unhealthy.

Do i think people have the tools and responsibility to go research this and break the cycle? yes. but that doesn't cause me to disrespect everyone who isn't there yet.

you are part of the problem if your OP is truly your attitude.

Usually no, but there are exceptions.

This.
I can respect a fat person that got fat by being lazy, like they eat a moderate amount of food but just don't exercise and thus became fat. I can't respect someone 300 plus pounds that goes to the grocery store and loads up the buggy with coke, chips, and oreos. I mean at least attempt to eat healthy

Shmmedium shirts, truck nuts, oilfield (add phrase here), eat clean train dirty, and proud fat people all fit in the same group.

Other groups bother them, if it's not what I do it's Wrong.

Still carrying that baby weight from the pregnancy?

It just became hard to stay physically active and eat well when they were little. I admit I could have done it, it's my fault completely.

I'm trying to lose some weight. It's tough to completely change your lifestyle but I'd like to see my kids grow up and get married and have their own so it has to happen.

he keeps saying hes going to lose the 100 lbs by the wedding next january but we went to dinner with them last week at a tex mex place and he got a whole appetizer platter(4 people could have eaten it) plus a full entree with 3 HUGE sugary margaritas. i had my usual dry chicken fajitas with corn tortillas. shite like that i dont feel 1 bit sorry for.

I drank 3 Dos Equis, 1 Heineken, and 1 double shot top shelf margarita to go along with my steak nachos appetizer this weekend. Just thought I'd share my Mexican food experience too. I feel like after I bust my arse in the gym and eat relatively clean during the week, the weekends are meant to splurge. The problem we have is that they feel like splurging should be an everyday thing.

Everyone is worthy of a basic level of human respect. Everyone has personal issues that they struggle with. The people who are so huge that they become immobile and refuse to recognize their problem are pretty pitiful though.
