Why do Skinny People hate Fat People?

Not all skinny people hate 'fat' people.
Anyone who is classified as 'fat' the people who say that are just SAD cos all people are unique and everyone is different. Unless you have an identical twin of course...

for some people making friends is hard because their not the same as them or arent skinny enough or pretty enough..some people try to loose weight but its hard for them....try putting yourself in a fat persons shoes..every one is diffrent that makes you, you! it shouldnt matter what other people say their just people..just find people who are you like you..it shouldnt matter if skinny people like you or not..maybe one day they will be fat and yu will be skinny and people will look at you diffrently but just be yourself no matter what yeah yu need too be healthy but shouldnt do it because other people call you names do it because you want too!(:

I've been very overweight my whole life. It sucks, to say the least.

I won't absolve myself of any of the responsiblility for my weight-related distemper, but way too many people think that it's okay to be an absolute jerk to someone because they're fat. Not as if they would ever dream of being that rude to anyone else because of any reason, but weight gives them permission to make someone miserable.

I'm 15, 5'7" tall, and I weigh 223.5 pounds. That's grossly overweight, and God knows, I get that. I've been dieting like mad and exercising like madder and I've shed nearly fifteen pounds over the past 3 1/2 weeks. I can't take it anymore. I'm just going to have to do the best I can.

When people look at me, they see 1st.) a fat guy 2nd.) an awkward social outsider 3rd.) a human being. I hate that more than anything else in the world.

The next time you think about making fun of an overweight person, think about the amount of crap that person has been put through in their lifetime and try treating them like they are entitled to the slightest bit of compasssion. You'd do the same for just about any thin person.

All I want to say is, cases where genetic reasons truly enable a person to be unable to lose weight are one in a million. Most of of the time they are just endomorphic, meaning they have slow metabolisms. True, not all obese people stuff themselves with food, most obese people I know actually eat a normal amount of food. However, they are not losing weight because they're eating the amount needed to mantain their current weights! Losing weight is about calories in vs. calories out, and although they might seem like they're not eating much, they're not eating less than their daily maintenance values, which is why they don't lose weight and stay fat. Suffice to say, most excuses are completely nonsense; one has to take a hard introspective approach and find the motivation from within to truly change one's lifestyle around.

Idk, im not skinny but not fat, im 5 10, weigh 160 workout everyday for an hour and a half and i absolutly dipise fat people, they disgust me, i hate to see them in my high school, absolutly hate it when i see them at the fast food stores, umm shock i never see them at healthkick, or GMC, so umm its on them, I HATE FAT PEOPLE!! sorry, its kinda F'd up but i dont really care, people should take care of themselves, and not ask for new laws or ask for equal rights on AIRPLANESSSSSSS!!!! They make me mad and disgusted and i just cant ever change that fact, im friends with big people, they can be cool, but its the fat walmart people im talking about, or the nasty fat chicks with the tight clothes... just ewww

i think that everyone is very beautiful in their own ways i think that skinny people that are stuck up are well just ugly.i tink a nice kind person is a very beautiful peson.the nicer you are the beautiful you become but dont be like to nice you would do anything..well you no wat i mean XD.EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL THAT IS ALL. THEIR SHOULD NOT BE AN FREAKIN DEBATE JUST SAY THAT EVEYONE IS BEAUTIFUL

I have always been the small one in the family, My sister thinks she is Fat, We have problems because for the last 40 years that is all she talks about. I love her very much and I do not look at weight when it comes to a person, I have a lot of friends that are overweight but it is all in your attitude. Believe me I get a lot of rude comments about being thin and it really hurts. I think its awful that people look at each other by there size and not what is in there soul. I have noticed that you have to be very careful of what you say because everything is taken wrong, large people think there is a hidden meaning in what you say. I could care less what someone looks like as long as they are nice to me.

I actually wrote an article about this very topic. I find such behavior to be appalling.

www.associatedcontent.com/article/5536128/why_do_we_love_to_hate_fat_people_so.html?cat=51

They hate you because you're fat. It's that cerebral thing in the back of everyones mind that all fat people are bitter and useless.

Go for a walk fatty.

I work very hard to stay skinny and to maintain my figure. I don't do it for looks, I do it for my personal best because I grew up an athlete. So, I can't do what I need to do in my 40's without that level of fitness or I can injure myself. When I talk to my obese friends, I don't talk about their weight nor do I talk about my weight. If it comes down to that subject, I can't speak for them and I can only speak for myself. If someone wants to be my friend, I certainly hope its because they like me in my heart and mind and not because of my looks.

I agree, girl ! People are rude & crudde. I'm fat & people judge me. Without people like us, the world wouldn't be the same !!!!

It is obvious by reading some of the comments that some of you just do not understand. Being fat and addicted to food is not like ANY other addiction. The problem is, we need food to live. In fact if we don't eat enough we will actually gain weight in some cases. What other addiction can you compare that too? This is why it is so hard to change. You can't tell an alcholic just take one drink instead of drinking the whole bottle. Just smoke a little crack, just shoot a little herion. So you can't just say stop eating. and start excercising. You need to be motivated, you need support, you have to want to stop(most if not all overweight people want to lose weight). this is especially true of those who have tried to lose weight and even succeded only to hit a road block and fail again.

I have lost weight many times in my life...It was MUCH easier when I was younger. The most weight I lost was 90lbs when I was in my 20's. Proper motivation can do wonders and I was motivated by a breakup with a girlfriend. I wanted another relationship. -Enter your motivation here.

I hope you get this comment because it speaks a lot of truth. Skinny people don't understand people who suffer from obesity or being overweight, they are just really foreign to the skinny people. Some mock it just because the suffering of others entertains them, some are uneasy about socializing with an obese or overweight individual (never want to find themselves crossing the line), or they can't grasp how an obese individual might not be fighting their illness, sometimes all three. I myself regret going through all three views of this condition. When I was young it seemed funny, children can be cruel, then later I grew some empathy, some, but avoided as to not regret any thing I would say or do. Lately I just can't see how anyone could accept that condition, anyone with that problem doesn't have to live with it (although that isn't always the case) which gets me to thinking what could possibly be holding them back. I've lived for 19 years being deprived of sufficient food intake, weigh a mere 135 pounds, live day by day starved and suffer from being underweight. So trying to comprehend the life of an obese individual is not easy for me, I'd like to think that a majority are taking care of their problem but the media darkens that hope with reports of increasing obesity. I see it as unhealthy and a poor lifestyle, every individual must at least fight to live. Sure there are things in this world that make you want to leave and so you might purposefully or accidentally depart by playing a bad game but there are plenty of more things to live for, enough that everybody should fight to stay alive. For me, my thing to live for is woodwork, math, kayaking, the sun, the beach, learning, teaching, having a coffee in the morning, and enjoying the little things and you can bet that I'll fight to enjoy those things as long as I can. I'm also sorry I had to admit that I'm a smoker, only being honest, but somethings can be quite a fight when you find joy in these things you can't draw yourself away from that don't help you with your goal to enjoy life because they change your priority. Smoke yourself to death or live to enjoy a gazillions of the little but large things, the leash will help you decide or you can fight it. Hope this helps bub and understand that there are people that still care for you greatly no matter what and about those people who don't, don't let them rain on your parade.

It's ok to be skinny if you are a girl but if you are a guy, you are treated like crap! I was the worst sort of skinny as a kid in school and it is every bit as demeaning as being fat. If you aren't 'normal' you are treated different, period! I used to eat EVERYTHING but to no avail. Finally at the age of 25 I became of a normal size. It's astonising how differently I was treated by just gaining 50 pounds. From 6'0" and 135 to 6'0" 185. I still haven't kicked the inferiority complex even though I'm treated like a human now. It's all image.

I'm overweight. I have friends are skinny. Yea I do agree with some people up who are trying to put in a gentler way. Don't start playing the victim card saying I can't help being big or whatever. I may be heavy but at

If becoming obese is a genetic thing then how is it that in 1990 no state had an obesity rate equal to or above 15% and now all of them do. Not to mention 8 states have an obesity rate equal to or 30% or greater. Come on now genetics is probably only a mere 1% of the population.

If that. There are genetic disorders that screw with the metabolic rate and then there are thyroid issues that can really throw it off. However, the majority of people that are obese either don't care or they don't want to work for it. People today have a huge sense of entitlement, where they feel that just because they're alive they deserve these things. If you don't have it, you have to fight for it, plain and simple.

Of course, there are the genetic freaks that can eat about anything, hardly work out, and are still cut monsters. Those are the people I hate. Well, I don't hate them, I'm just envious, haha.

Fat is not natural. Fat is so abnormal to nature that overweight people usually suffer from infurtility. Loose the weight, magically they get pregnant. It's nature. As humans we shy away from these people because they're not healthy, and our pack mentality makes us want to associate ourselves with healthy active individuals like ourselves that can contribute to the next generation and community. Obese people are not healthy - they're sick, dying people, and like gazelles, we leave those sick and dying ones behind. =/ We think a lot more like animals than we give ourselves credit for... Personally, that's what I think. When I see a overweight person, its like seeing someone dying from cancer, or organ failure etc. It's human of us to not want to be around it.

I think people asume all fat people want to be thin and maybe some do . But not all . I was thin and now fat . I feel more confident heavy . Yet people never stop hounding me to be thin . I have tried diets they do not work well . I have an over active thyroid and I have had more people tell me to loose weight so I will look better and feel better . Sometimes its not that easy . I wish it were . My body seems to live this weight and when I loose I get ill . I would love to be able to wear cute clothes . I am way more confident heavy vs thin . When I was thin and cute and single no one looked at me . I had few friends . I do feel its obtrusive to always tell heavy people to get thin. I know its out of care and concern and drs have told us heavy people to loose weight . But its as if its the last prejudice. We know we are heavy . Its not news to us . If we could loose weight and be healthy we would . Its not an easy solve . I do not eat more calories then other adults . Yet my weight does not come off . In order to loose I would have to eat 1,000 or 500 calories only . Not easy to live on that . But that is what heavy people have to do to live off the fat they have and loose weight . Life is also about acceptance . The more we accept the more we love the better off we can be . None of us is exempt from health issues and some of us are better at keeping them at bay . But we all cant be the same weight . That is impossible . We thank you all for caring and we appreciate the info on how to be healthy . Now let us fat people enjoy our lives too .. even if its shorter then thin peoples . I know many who were the picture of health and they passed away . I am still standing . Maybe its not all weight but a mix of other great things that keep us going . Let us all be healthy and happy and remain individualistic .

I definitely agree with one of the posts that you should invite people over to your house. Also, why don't you hang out with fat people. Do you ostracize people like yourself? I would think that in a country where over half of the people are overweight or obese, you would be very popular. Also, being nice and being a wuss is often the same thing. No one likes a person who needs friends. I am sorry about your personal issues, but you sound like you need a counselor. I am sure that there are many people who care about you. In addition, stop blaming your weight. I know people who are overweight and really cool. However, people who are not cool (regardless of their weight) are people who don't have lives and just hang around their house. Get hobbies and exercise for fun. Hiking, walking, and dance classes are a great way to meet people. I have friends in my salsa class who are overweight, but no one cares because they are fun and dance well.
Hope this helps.
Much love:)

Here is your problem...You are over training and under eating. 1500 calories a day is not enough for any human being to survive.

When you do this to yourself your body goes into what is called starvation mode. You are not eating enough calories to meet your daily energy needs (especially with how much you are working out). When this happens the first thing your body does is lower your metabolism in order to compensate for the lack of energy. Your body is conserving.

Here's the problem. Have you eaten only 1500 calories everyday of the three years that you have been dieting? I can already tell you the answer and it's NO. I know you haven't because nobody can. The lack of calories causes levels of an important regulatory hormone called Leptin. Lowering levels of Leptin created sever food cravings as your body is attempting to get more energy.

when you start eating normally again, because your body is in starvation mode it is primed for fat storage. Your body manufactures increased levels of a powerful fat storing enzyme called Lipoprotein Lipase. The end result is that the larger amount of calories consumed (more than 1500) is turned directly into fat and deposited on your arms, waist, hips, thighs and butt.

What you need to do is more research on how to properly lose weight. 70-80% of your success is going to be dependent on your diet. here are the 3 most important factors of weight loss

1.) What you eat
2.) How much you eat
3.) How often you eat

Your already doing one terribly wrong. I'm probably not going out on a limb here if I say that WHAT your eating is probably crap too.

Since you are overweight and exercising as much as you do you should not be eating less than 2300 calories. That's low-balling it!

Start doing some research and you should be fine. You have been at this for three years now which shows that you have the drive and determination to get it done you just need the correct method.

I was fat. Then I put the Twinkie down and started sprinting and lifting weights. Now I have every right to poke fun at fat people, because I was one.

You should try not being fat.

Hi all! Thanks for all the comments and encouragement you are giving to those who need help.

For awhile, I used to stay away from restaurants because there were people who would stare at me (and continued to stare all through the meal) and it felt like I didn't have the right to be there or eating any food. It was usually at breakfast. I have food allergies so I only eat cottage cheese with fruit and toast most of the time. Oatmeal when it's cooked fresh (not watered down instant oats). It didn't seem to matter what I ate. I still got the stares. Now, I don't worry about it because I know I'm trying to eat right and actually eat more nutritional food than most of what I see them eat. I like veggies, fruit, soups, and grains (like quinoa) very much. I don't like much meat. Chicken and turkey are my main proteins along with goat milk yogurt and the quinoa. My mother was pretty much like that and she lived to the age of 89 (her mother was 95, aunts were 94 and 98; father was 88). If I could just lose this stupid weight, I think I could be very healthy again. I KNOW I could be healthy again. Just difficult to do.

When I was married for the first time, it was to a control freak who was the "critical parent" in our relationship. Whenever I tried to start an exercise program or rejected sweets he brought home, he would pout or have an excuse not to stay with the kids while I jogged or walked. (The control issue carried over to my college classes, too.)

After our divorce (his idea), I lost the weight I needed to lose and got back to my old optimistic self. It was good to be there. Lots of walking, dancing, and eating less. It was great!

When I re-married, it was to a man who can be supportive but likes to be controlling about some things. It has caused problems for us (and a weight gain for me), but I at least tried to get some control back for me. It was ok after his sons left, and we were both losing weight before two accidents I had. Both resulted in permanent injuries that severely restrict activity and are very painful. I'm not going to give up, though. I have to lose weight! If I don't, I'm afraid I'll end up being handicapped. I was always very active so I don't want to end up not being able to do anything and dying young.

I'm afraid some of what kept me down were emotional leftovers from my first marriage, and my family dynamics while I was growing up (not good).

Sometimes when someone we love puts us down and tries to destroy how we think about ourselves, we start to believe we are not worthy of love from anyone. It is necessary to treat the whole person when there are issues like low self-esteem. I want to see a counselor, but I retired early and can't afford it. I'm hoping sites like these and any others I can find will help me to get started again.

Total bullshit copout. I know several fat people and they all claim they don't eat any more than the rest of us, but I see them with their chips and ho hos. You probably don't realize that you eat to much because you always have and your parents didn't teach you what a healthy amount of eating is. FYI we don't all eat eleventy times per day. 3-6 well portioned meals and that's it. You eat 6 meals if you're working out with the intent to gain weight and 3 if you're not. All of the snacking is what gains the weight, well that and the giant cheesecake dinner.

I was reading this and it is so sad. There is so much sad things in the world. People really need to love each other and be kind to one another. Just so ya'll know: I was really, really anorexic to the point where I almost died, not trying to depress anybody but, yeah. So, I know that I did not hate anyone at all, I guess even then I just did not like my self and I was afraid of things. I had abuse in my past so that was hard. I feel like I was neglected by society for like my whole life. People just laugh or turn the other way. Plus, people just may be to involved in their self to realize they hurt someone's feelings or they are just confused or whatever. Its hard too because, I am trying to find a job close to my town where I grew up so I can visit my family in my free time. Now, I am sorta I guess, fat or whatever. So that also is a little upsetting and hurtful but I like myself and thats what matters the most.Not to be vain, but it is difficult because when I put on all the weight it felt like my beauty was being taken away. When I was thin, I felt like maybe I would be accepted by society more, or people would not judge me. I also did not want people to pay attention to me; so you can see how it is still kinda the same. I know it sounds lame but you just have to love yourself no matter what any one else may think. Its awful when people are cruel to others for no reason at all, even regardless of looks. Well, I did not mean to babble... much much love! Peace Ms. Fairy

One more thing. Especially to the first blog, please never ever try to hurt yourself, look, life is way to precious.

Nevermind all those other ignorant comments from these people who are being rude.

I am not trying to offend anyone since I am an extremely peaceful person.
But alot of these remarks are not uplifting or kind at all. Judging and making fun of those that are overweight or fat is not okay. We are all human beings, understand that.
Take care, much much love and peace with hope. Ms. Fairy.
