there is chemical imbalances in some ppl that makes them want to eat all the time and their badies stores everything as energy in the form of fat. Is more of a medical condition IMO

haha I like how they've got a picture of a fat woman sat in the street and actually labelled her as overweights..she'll be gutted if she ever uses some calories to look on the internet and sees it

Dude, relax.

Many people sink into very sad depression and get this way. Many people also have severe chemical imbalances.

It's sad and they don't really deserve our scorning.

It is disgusting how people make fun of people that have weight issues. Did you ever stop to think that perhaps there is a medical issue and that there is not much that can be done. It makes me sick when others ridicule people that are different, whether it be mentally or psychically. People don't deserve to be made fun of because there are mentally challenged or overweight. In the end, the people that make fun of others are the ones who have the real issues.

Some of my best friends have weight issues, so I am very sensitive to this issue. So my advice is shut the **** up and take a look in the mirror.

I tell my friends all the time to be healthy and try to get them on the right track of eating right and excercising and believing in theirselves. With that aside, you missed the point of my post.

People who make fun others for their own pleasures are nothing more then scum. If people have a medical condition, sometimes there is not much that can be done. If one is born mentally challenged, they will always be that way. Some people have medical issues that sadly leave them overweight and no matter how much they exercise they will always be fat. These are the people that I am refering to, that people tend to make fun of. I can't believe my own eyes and ears when I am in the gym and a guy who ears 300+ is busting his ass working out and there are some snot nose punks making fun of him. All I can say is that won't ever happen to my friends when they are with me. I always put the people on the spot that are making fun of people and they usually get embarrased, that they leave. As I was I saying I am partically sensitive to this issues because my mom has weight issues and I use to have weight issues and my dad always made fun of us. Until I beat his one day, he never said another word. He learned his lesson. Enough said.

How old are you? 14? 15? You do realize that obesity is a disease, correct? Would you approach a person with sirrocis and tell him to "shape up"? How about someone with cancer? Should they just "shape up"?

Hell, what about people with mental retardation? Should they just "shape up" and make their brain start functioning on a normal level?

It's obvious you know nothing about obesity, or any related disorder/disease associated with it......but until you actually DO learn a thing or two I'd suggest stop making ignorant foolish remarks and making yourself look stupid.

Really.

thats good man.. im glad u tell them that.. and about missing ur points.. i dont think so, because i dont make fun of them man.. and these people arent making fun of them either.. u can look at the serious post in the serious section and how they said that they only look down at those who don't bother to help themselves. Plus even if they are, i just thought its like yellin at a wall, cause this is only the internet.

point out some ignorant remarks in my last post please, i do want to know. I'm sorry but i dont see how shaping up relating to cancer or mental retardation. If you see a lung cancer patient, wouldn't you tell them to stop smoking? so if you see an obese person, why not tell them to stop eating mcdonal and start working out? thats what i was saying, jack ass.
heck obesity is a disease but people misdianose it and use it as an excuse for far too many. just like ADD is a disorder, so kids are diagnosed with it go on focusing pills.. sure some of htem do have ADD, except a majority of htem probably dont.. they're just kids.. same with obese people.. some of them might have problems.. some jus pure unhealthy.. either way telling them to lose the weight, its the best thing for them to do.. YOU DIDN"T MISS THE PART WHERE I SAID "ACCEPT THEM" RIGHT?
You jumped into a convo without a clue. I think you should just get out of it.
*edit* man u gotta b kidding me.. i'll quote "i see my friend spiraling down a dangerous path" .. that's about ur friend doing roids with drinking problem right? thats why u told him to stop.. how is that any different from my last post "going down the destructive path" and tell them to lose the weight? lol.. ur clueless

Last I check cancered and sclerosis weren't self inflicted. A lot of diseases will make a person overweight or obese but I know of NO disease that causes large numbers of people to weight 300 or 400lbs, or the occasional 800lbs. There was a case recently of a man weighing over 1,000lbs, so you think he suddenly woke up that morning and gained 600lbs? It was a slowly occuring thing and anyone who knew him could have helped him, or maybe he could have helped himself. Genetics or diseases may have loaded the gun for them in this case, but they pulled the trigger and reloaded twice.

These people aren't helpless! But rather then try to help themselves people are chaging to suit them, which shouldn't be the case.

Besides, not all of these people are mentally challenged or suffer from serious diseases like your post would lead you to believe. Take a trip south if you don't believe me, I doubt you would be OK justifying they can't be saved when you see that a good majority of the southern states are filled with overweight and obese people.

Or, even better yet, lets do what docters say everyone in this country should be doing, and go get some exercise. Obese people can, and do lose weight, simply by cleaning up their diet. Then, coupled with low to moderate intensity workouts (Walking!), they can not only drop weight but ease the strain they put on their heart with an at least partially self inflicted condition. I HIGHLY doubt that every obese person that needs a special MRI tube has tried the staple of the industry, the clean diet and moderate exercise route, and is completely helpless to change their body condition.

Yea, there are going to be special cases where they are needed, and thats fine. But what that article is stating is that because of the increasingly large amounts of obese people (Which can't ALL be accounted for by diseases or mental retardation, and whose numbers are increasing at an alarming rate) they can't fit 'em in the damn MRI tube. So you are saying let em go and let our country continue to slump and be known as the most un-health concious country in the world simply because they have a 'condition'. I say get em working, and teach them to help themselves.

BTW, if you feel like taking this further, there is a thread in the serous topic forum called "Prejudice against obese people". That might be a good place to continue this if you feel like pursuing this further.

EDIT: By the way alcoholism is a disease... maybe we should take away AA, since by your reasoning they can stay the way they are, and they have in no way helped to cause their own condition.

Thats ignorant, there are some chemical inbalances that will cause you to gain weight. To think otherwise is foolish.

Some people gain weight easily due to genetics... this is true.

But WTF man you think obese people get the way they are because of eating whole wheat, vegetables and fruit everyday?

Theres a difference between thick people, and FAT LARDO people.

Come on now... theyre addicted to junk food, go into any over-weight persons house and you will see that all they eat is garbage. Countless bags of potato chips, pop, etc...


I have a friend that used to be 200+ at 16 and because he was over-weight. Everybody simply saw him as oh just big boned, genetics blah blah, but since he started breakdancing everyday, and eating healthier, he is A TWIG!!!!!!!!!!

My sister has recently began dieting and excersiing... shes losing over 1lb a week!!

Obese people = gross, unatural and a disgrace to the human race. STOP EATING SH!T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
