Do you pre judge anyone who is overweight?

It's like a dog chasing it's tail I think...many overweight people have issues with personality disorders and low or no self esteem. This latter because they have been horribly abused mentally, physically, spiritually. If this is not the case then there is a health issue that causes the obesity. I don't care who you are, everyone deserves respect and kindness, While I think it's hard to give some people respect, like criminals(murderers, terrorists and paedophiles). It's my belief that if everyone treated everyone right we would have no criminals or fat people. It's all about how you are raised.

nope.i don't prejudge anybody. if i like somebody,i like them.has nothing to do with anything else. i have one friend who is BBW and she is gorgeous(and doesn't believe me when i tell her that).it breaks my heart when she calls herself bad things i don't know why she lets media ideals upset her like that.

I think that everyone is a person and before lifestyle and mental reasons for their weight are personal to them. My partner was brought up that food = love and hates that he struggles to not eat treats when he feels down, we all have reasons and I don't mind being called a fatty one little bit, I am just me being who I am. I don't judge others and think the health reasons are more worrying than what number a clothes size is. e.g. I have been heavier than I should be since I had my kids. Before Christmas I was over 15 1/2 stones (217lbs) and am now 181lbs (13 stone 1lb). I lost the weight by choice but now feel more conscious of the fact that I am overweight than I did when I was bigger. I am able to do my everyday task and exercise and garden but I did when I was bigger too; in fact I have more aches and pains now. As long as you are comfortable being you who cares about everyone else, lol?

I do not judge anyone by their outward appearance. I not only think it is cruel but also extremely ignorant.

I don't think it's right to judge someone just because of their physical appearance. Although I am not fat, most of my family members are, including my mom and yet I have never judged them. I love them to bits actually. My fiance sometimes has a habit of commenting when he sees someone who is big and I would often remind him that it's not right... I'd later ask him if I'd turn out to be that big in the future, would he do the same. Well, he got the point after. Lol. But there, as you put it, people should be treated with respect regardless of how they look.

I don't judge people by their weight, that's stupid. How people behave, what they do and what they say, everything together, their character, that's what defines a person. One of my best friends is of high weight (while I am rather skinny). He's become one of my best friends because of his character. On the other hand, I've seen bigger people who I couldn't stand, but that's not because of their weight. If you don't blame your weight on all your problems (what I don't assume you do) and if you happy the way you are, that's fine.

Hi. I myself have this tendency of taking 'big people' as not 'my type'. I am quite athletic and agile, quick on my feet and like people to be that way. Tough I am trying to quit this habit of mine, of thinking not so good of big people, as I have seen some really fit people of that kind as well, but I guess it will take some time. Having said that I never considered a fat person to be filthy.

i agree everyone no matter what physical condition they are in deserves respect. Its only a health concern, i use to be obese but took steps to lose alot of the weight and before i had trouble breathing and had pains all the time.

Off course they should they are just the same as anybody else.Everybody deserves respect it is a basic human right.

Yes, i agree with you. But no matter how many we bring this upfront there are still lots of people make fun of overweight people. They just can't shut their mouth.

Weight is not an issue for me. Especially if one is heavier due to his or her height, makes sense, right? Seriously, as long as your weight does not get in the way of your functions, then it shouldn't affect you that much. Some people judge other person according to how they look including their weight... and I don't want to sound hypocrite by saying that I have never judged someone according to their looks. However, when it comes to weight../ I seldom put an issue to it. My mom is big... my sister is way bigger, and I have cousins who are as heavy, and we're all fine with it. They even tease me being the only one that has a slimmer figure.

i don't condemn people because of their weight. most big people don't like their situation and are frustrated of getting slimmer.. there are also times that people are fat because it's just in their genes.. i think it's really wrong to make them feel unwanted. they are still people like us. no body is perfect and it just happens that their weight is the one that causes their imperfection.

i don't not judge them. i actually advocate not judging them. i know that it will do us (me and the overweight person) no good if i judge or discriminate them. they are the ones who usually have low self-esteem because of the stereotypes nowadays so it would really help if their friends are there to boost their confidence, and not to judge them.

just because people don't like your appearance,doesnt mean you have to feel bad about yourself.I know it sounds cheesy,but in the end you can either change yourself,change the people or simply dont give a f...k :)

Pre-judge in a sense that people automatically think that if someone is big, this person is either lazy or dirty? I guess many people tend to be judgmental but there is nothing we can do about this. All we can do about is what are we going to do about our sitch. If one is considered big or if people are judging this person for his/her size, then, I think he/she has to do something for him/herself. Not to please people, though. Do this so he/she won't feel bad about him/herself. We should help ourselves to get out of something. If one is not comfortable with how people are treating him/her, he/she should stop sulking about how people are so mean and judgmental. He/she should learn how to help him/herself not to be judged. Whenever I see someone obese or big for his/her weight...esp if the person's a she...the first thing that gets into my head is, why won't she take care of herself. Nowadays, most culture would set standards as to what is attractive. Everyone's going skinny. Not that I am saying everyone should follow what the crowd dictates but if it doesn't make you feel good about yourself, then, why would you rather endure the mockery when you can do something about your situation? Now, if you're happy with how you look, who cares that you're big? You don't have to explain to everyone that 150 is just fine for your height. It's not what others think of you that should matter. It's how you think of yourself...this is all that matters.

I try to never judge anyone who is overweight. Alot of people can help themselves. I have judged a few times though because I have seen overweight people and they do not do anything to help themselves at all.

I don't judge people on their physical appearance.I know some overweight people who are quite cool and funny.a person's physical appearance and weight doesn't really dictate on who he or she is.I know some people who are skinny but treat people like crap.skinny doesn't necessarily mean being nice.

I do not judge anyone based on weight.

I strongly believe that it is inhuman to judge people based on their looks, whether she be overweight or not, small or big. Personality is not solely based on the physical appearance. What you are as a person counts more. The bottom line here is do not judge a person if you do not want to be judged yourself.

nope
