Whats wrong with being fat?

This is something that I can't understand either, eykah. I hope people will stop making it an issue. Fat people are still normal humans who deserved our respect. I actually pity those fat people who are constantly subjected to criticism. My own best friend is a little fat but she carried herself well and with lots of confidence. She didn't consider her weight problem a nuisance to enjoy her life.

Being fat becomes a big issue become there are lots of complications being brought about being overweight. I am fat and I have experirenced hypertension, heart palpatations & some infections among other things. People who are fat and are still single are those who doesn't have enough confidence in themselves and don't really believe that somebody could love them even if they are overweight. Believe me my friend, I know a lot of fat people in my circle of friends who are very happy, married or into a relationship and they are people or women who believes in themselves and whose self-condfidence isn't tied to their body weight. You are beautiful IF YOU YOURSELF BELIEVES YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. What people sees in you is just a reflection of what you see of yourself. Being slim is okey but being sickly THIN is also an issue and more and more people are coming out and are admiting that they are having eating disorders. I think being fat is m ore and issue than being thin because there are more fat people that those who are sickly thin.

The worst thing about being fat has probably something to do with health reasons. I mean, people who are fat are likely to end up with heart problems and diabetes. The heart was after all only meant to work so hard and being fat overworks the heart. However, when it comes to looks, I think it depends on the culture you come from. I know a Nepaleese guy who gets very happy every time he sees a fat girl. And it also has alot to do with personality. One of my favourite Fat Girls has made a career about being very jolly and laughing alot.

we live in a world that values skinny over fat. Fat is not considered sexy. Unfortunately. It is sad that most fat people are single unless they find another fat person to partner with.

Having extra weight is hard on the human body. Each pound of fat has an extra mile of blood vessels so it is hard on the heart. Also the joints of the knee and ankle and then the little bones in the foot are not designed for the stresses of extra weight. We are built to move and be trim and live longer and more active lives. Balance once again in all things.

not to offend.. but size is really a problem.. few years back.. i'm fat too .. but then i keep on exercising..and reduce alot of weight and fats.. i think it's worthy.. because.. i get to do many things when i'm not fat.. there are pros and cons being fat and not being fat.. it depends on how you see it? do you mind what others say about you? if you do.. then why do you want to be fat? right? i do mind.. that's why i exercise alot.. now i'm much fitter.. really happy with my body.. i think i can be better few years later.. working hard though.. thin is not good for health.. you have to be just nice =)
