Do you ever feel uncomfortable around fat people?

I work with a bunch of fat people and I'm always getting questions about dieting and training. I feel uncomfortable sometimes discussing these issues. I'm generally a nice person and wouldn't do anything to hurt someone else's feelings. I hear the same thing all the time, look at you, all fit and in shape, I'm so fat and your in such good shape. I even hate to eat in front of fat people.

Am I weird? Do you'll have this thing with fat people making you feel uncomfortable?
 
Not me.....I used to be very fat as a younger teen and it ain't fun...TRUST ME!! I would do anything I could to help someone lose weight as it makes all the diffrence in the world. They are just like any other person they are just fat so I see no reason why I should feel uncomfortable around them

I know exactly what your talking about. So I tell them what they should be eating. The next day I see them eating a bacon double cheese burger. No discipline. They'll be that way until they get the heart attack.

U got bro!!!
 
I hear alot of "It's my metaaaaaaabolism" but like Martin Lawrence said, NO it's not, it's them twizzlers in your back goddam pocket.
 
One of my secretaries is very obese and has seen a big change in my physique. She keeps sayin how she is gonna lose the weight and how she does step aerobics in the morning before work. But everyday she comes in from the roach coach at lunchtime with a pile of nachos, mr pibb, and some kind of hamburger. I think she knows she's just fooling herself. It kinda makes me uncomforatable when I see that but not when I see someone who is really trying hard to lose the weight for real.

Actually not it's not...Some are born with the genetics and are also born with a slow metabolism. Eating shit food does not help but I knew a shit load of kids who ate a hell of a lot more then I did when I was fat and did not gain a pound.

It's true that some people can get lean easier than others but bottom line is, everyone can get lean if they're willing to work for it. I don't wanna hear any if's and' or but's about it. Also, many fat people aren't willing to accept that they can change it and do indeed claim that they couldn't lose weight if they wanted to due to their metabolism. Honestly, I really like fat peeps who know they're fat and know they could change it if they applied themselves but just don't care either way. At least they're being honest and have decided what makes them happiest. As for the others, I tend to poke them with spoons a lot. I like to push them down stairs as well and rub vasoline in their hair.
 
i agree with you guys. i often look at fat people and say to myself "how the hell could you let yourself get that big?" not only is it not attractive, but it will be unhealthy at some point in your life. just diet a little, it doesnt take much
 
It used to upset me quite a bit after they would ask, take up a ton of my time, and then do diddly with the info. :mad:

Now, if someone asks me anything like that, I make sure they have actually done some work on their own before I even open my mouth.

All in all, I try to avoid fat people. In my quest, just being around them gives me the willies. Not trying to say that fat people aren't good people, I think they just show how easy it is to get to that point. And that's not a place I want to be.

But if they ever legalize dnp, I'm gonna be Johnny Appleseednp. :) I will put that stuff everywhere, and the all-u-can-eat buffets will be first on the list. :)
 
I agree with both of M18's comments.

Just because they are fat you shouldnt treat them any different. When I give advice to fat people I hat saying the word "fat" I feel like I am hurting their feelings when i say it.

And anyway you dont feel uncomfortable with the fat girl at the end of the night do you? :D Ooops, 10 to 2, you'll do!

I'm in college, and my fat ass freind from last year comes up to me on the first day of class and tells me he wants to loose weight and that he is VERY serious about it, so I agreed to help him out. so we drive to the store and get him a multi-vit,C&E,flax oil,xenadrine,and buy some chicken breasts and oatmeal,BTW he is poor.so he starts workingout w/ me for about a week (doing light weight & cardio) and like most fat peeps do he stoped doing every, and he had already lost 11lbs on my diet plan! now everytime i ask him to go to the gym he gives my some BS excuse like im tired,or duuuuude com'on, but my favorite one is "dude cartoons are on from 5:00-7:00! fuck that fat ass he really pissed me off, now I dont even like to talk to him cause me makes me feel like im the lazy one. he spent all that $$$ on those supps and actually lost 11lbs doing it and then quits a week later. I give up on fat people I now im generalizing but they just waste to much of my time plus when they fail I fell like I failed and I dont need that on my shoulders when im in school.

another thing is I gained about 50lbs of fat when I turned 21, (I wasn't workingout at the time either) and I losted it all with a strick diet and workout plan actually that is what got me into BB, so I know the weight can be losted but it takes time and for some reason most people dont have that much free time to workout or eat RIGHT they are to busy eatting pizzas and tripple bacon cheese burgers (thats what my freind eats and wonders why he is 240lbs at 5'4")

sorry for the long post and i am sorry if I offended anybody that is a lazy fat ass!

yours truly,
STIFFLER:)

For someone with the name 'uglyass', you sure are sympathetic. ;)
 
people are fat for the same reasons that people feel that they need to be jerks to people... because everyone is different... some lack discipline, some have the genetic predisposition for it, etc and so on. Why would you feel uncomfortable talking to anyone unless maybe they were holding an axe and looking at you funny... but seriously never make fun of fat people just because they are not in the shape you are. i'm pretty fat right now myself but I am changing that and one of my friends who happens to be a martial artist could still kick over his head when he was 370 so eventually you'll be put in your place if you act like a jerk becuse you just never know what that person you are making fun of is capable of... yeah i took a little offense to this and i know i have more issues than time magazine but still... how hard is it to just be nice to people.

My thought exactly bro...i think it kinda has a little to do with metabolism cus i remember that as a young teen i used to see alot of my friends eat a shitload of everything, especially junk food and not gain a pound, but if i ate a bag of doeritos or something, I would gain weight. So there u go...

nobody said anything about making fun of them just feeling uncomfortable around somebody that is fat.
 
I don't have a problem with fatties UNTIL I have to sit next to one on an airplane or in a theatre. You know the way they sort of overflow their seat, like the Mississippi flooding its banks?

And why is that a lot of fat people seem to smell? I've never understood that. Is it because they're always sweating?

i get that to, my sister is a bit overweight prob 35lbs or so and she asked me to outline a diet and a exercise program for it,this was a week ago,she hasnt started and at this moment she is filling her face with doritos,i give up
 
i am MORBIDLY OBESE and i resent this post. so ya'll don't like me because i'm fat? i'm not a good bro?
:chainsaw:
:mad: :kaioken:
 
I do not know why I have just read so many diss's on fat peep's. M-18 hit the nail. Yes severally obese people disgust me. I think it could be a phobia to be honest. I have a friend that is over 40 and played football. A white football player at an all black school in the late 70's. He was huge, juiced alot. Then eventually gave up. He is over 400 now and simply obese. He quit lifting seriously and kept the diet. Sometimes I feel sympathy, sometimes disgust, but it is their lives so let them live it.
 
I spent almost all my teen years being fat. Shortly before my 20th birthday I decided to turn my life around and began to diet. I lost almost 80 pounds and then started working out. Here I am 4 years later still training and eating well. All it takes is discipline and the drive to better yourself.

The one thing that bothers me the most though, are the ones that join that fat acceptance way of thinking. What kind of nonsense is that? Go read one of the soc.fat-acceptance newsgroups for a good laugh once in a while.
 
why do you guys insist on making fun of us fat people. i try really hard. i'm cursed!!!! does it make ya'll feel bigger and tougher and better about your perfect bodies??? does it?? i'm going to kill myself. i thought u guys were my bros and were here to help me, not make fun of me.

Dude I hope your not serious about killin youeself shit...That ain't nuthin to joke around with. E-mail me if you need any help and I will help you lose the fat and boost that confidance up

m18, i'm not really fat, but everyone should think. i bet there r people who r, or were, that post here and read this. some of my good friends aren't the slimmest of people. and they need help, not ridicule. yeah it's funny to make fun of them, their easy targets, hahahaha, what next, retarded kids? it's just one of my pet peaves, people making fun of other people. people make fun of us too, and we don't like it do we? so DON'T MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE. sorry if i offended anybody, but thats my 2 cents. we r all here to accomplish the same thing, gettin' swole, not making fun of people. and m18, your a good guy. peace.
 
I don't see anybody making fun of fat people here... even if they were what's wrong with it? It's not like making fun of retarded people who have no choice in the matter. Obese people bring it upon themselves; they deserve to be ridiculed because they make themselves ridiculous.

50% metabalism and 50% life style....i think it is split. In the US we love our fucking Buffets and Big macs......we(the US) love quantity over quality....Europeans look at it much differently and have much less fat people.

Americans feel ripped off if they go out and eat and don't pack a shit load of food down there throats!
 
the thing that bothers me the most about fat people is when you work your fucking ass off and eat right for weeks at a time and these people walk on a treadmill for 10 minutes just to eat an extra slice of cheescake.
 
yeah i know what its like, just back in january i topped out at a good 240 at only 5'7. with a nice 40 inch wasted. Hit up some dieting lifting and running and dropped to 200 in about 2 months. Then the next month or so dropped to 185. Then did a cycle got up to 200. Now i cut back down to about 185. Some people who havent seen me in awhile cant even recongize its me i look so diffrent. By the way i wasnt always that fat before i started college i was like 215 and a hardcore lifter. To much parting and drugs in college for a year and a half did that to me hahah But with a lil hardwork and disipline anything is possible trust me on that bros!
 
I didn't think that there were so many people out there that felt the same way I do. Let me make one thing clear, I DO NOT HATE FAT PEOPLE. I never said that. I said I feel uncomfortable around them.

The only good fat person...

The only good fat person has to be the ex that dumped me about 4 months ago. She isn't exposed to my workout regimen anymore, and I doubt the fat ass she is dating now is giving it to her very often. Just saw her a few days ago, and she must have put on 15 to 20 pounds! That seems like a lot in just a few months, but damn, it just reinforced how awesome I am and what a sloppy hose bag she is. Like I said, the only good fatty.
 
Guys been obese is not fun until I decided one night that it was enought and I went on a diet
I was a big fat bastard 355lbs at 14yo!!!!

I lost 160+-lbs.....


Believe me this aint fun to be obse, oh no
starts with the kids jokes
attitudes like some of you have
ppls looking at you like your a freak etc....

Now when someone ask my help I will give him all the help he want of course if
he want to do it!!!

I do hate the fat ppl comments WOW nice attitude guys well I wish youll be fat too
and then I would like your comments.

I had that attitude after I lost all my fat!!! I remember saying to myself
hmmm look at that fucking fatso! and then I realized I was like hell years ago and how much did it hurt!

so please stop comments like this, is not worth it.....

M18 I agree with you on lots of things, ,

NOt this though... this is bullshit.

IT's 100% lifestyle. It has nothing to do with metabolism.

Let's just say that their metabolism is really fucked up.
BIG FUCKING DEAL...... deal with it. Your dealt a deck of cards, and you gotta play them.

With proper diet and excersise anything is possible. So fuck that excuse about 'it's my metabolism".

It's not your metabolism, it's your got damn lack of will.

Every other excuse you throw at me is bullshit.
Just admit tha fact that you are a lazy son of a bitch, and i'll respect your honesty.

These fat people need proper education. That is number 1.

Peace.
 
One of my best friends was a center at Marshall. Now he is really obese. He is always showing me pictures of himself back in the day. It is kind of sad because his Dad died very young due to obesity, yet he never exercises and eats terrible.

But I digress. I don't get uncomfortable around fat people except for one fat person who I used to work with. She used to give me shit all the time about how much and how often I ate. Of course the contrast between my body and hers was clear, since her diet featured Cokes, M&Ms, and oreos. She was a real bitch but I never said anything nasty to her, since it was painfully obvious that she was trying, and failing, to make herself feel better.

I really hope you are not calling me lazy son of a bitch :mad: cause if you are then you better THINK AGAIN!! Yes it is true that diet and cardio WILL help you lose fat metabolism or not, I am not debaiting the fact BUT the truth is some people are born with a slow metabolism and there is NO arguing that FACT and they can't go around eating some things and not gaining weight like others can. That is all I am saying!

M18
 
I certainly don’t have a problem with fat people in general or as a group.

But when asked specific questions, like how do you stay in shape and eat so much etc...

or what should I do to lose weight,

or why do I have such a gut,

I normally response with a question like:


What are your workouts like?


Which of course solicits a blank stare and stimulates a conversation than lets me simply state it is not just dieting or riding the bike twice a week, but a way of life.

LOL - naw bro, i love you.

It was directed at fat people not you. lol.

i'm laughing cause after I re-read what i had wrote , at the last part of it , it was funny the way i kept saying "YOU"... lol i can see why you got mad.

But man, my point is....FAT people don't have to be fat. Being fat is a Choice. It might be harder for some of them to get in shape, but the FACT IS... is that they CAN get into shape.

It's a matter of will.

Peace
 
being fat is the same as doing coke, it is a addiction, and like cocaine or alcohol it can be treated, i feel that someones addiction , be it food or drugs is none of my business, but i would not act as a enabler for their actions
 
I WAS 22 1/2 STONES OF LARD AT 16 (315 POUNDS) NOT FUNNY BELIVE ME FUCKS YOU SELF CONFIDENCE BIG TIME AND EVEN THOW NOW IM A MUSCULAR 240 POUNDS 17 STONES I STILL LACK CONFIDENCE AND IM QUITE LEAN AND IN SHAPE YOU SHOULD TRY HELP THEM

BUT ONLY A FEW FATTIES WILL MAKE THE CHANGE 95 % OF THEM ARE HOPELESS IM LUCKY I HAVE DRIVE AND DETERMINATION, AND LOST IT BUT SOME PPL ARE HOPELESS.

THATS WHY THEY PISS YOU OFF THEY WANNA DO IT BUT NEVER CAN AND YOU FEEL YOUR WASTING YOUR BREATH.
 
funny thing is that as BB (or fitness in general) we eat more then a fat person. I have ploped my lunch box (six pack size) on the table and consumed mre then any of them. And that does not count the 10am & 3pm chx breasts or tuna.

Their problem is wrong food, and NEVER knowing what feeling lean is about. I was the fat kid, always picked last. But I changed.

!0 & 20 class reunion was the best time. Some of the guys that made my life a bitch, the look on their faces when they found out who the muscle guy really was. :)
 
Yes. It sucks. Go to the breakroom to fix me a protein shake while they are eating birthday cakes, ectt... They look at me like I am the weird one. Comments like isn't that gross. I would just love to say. Have you looked in the mirror isn't THAT gross.

Holy shit nautica.... I can't even tell you how many times this has happened.

That's one of tha truest things i've seen on this board.
 
It's wrong to make fun of people for something they can't help -- like being extremely short, say, or ugly, or balding like me. :-} But morbidly obese people have tons (no pun intended) of options these days for losing weight. If they don't do anything, they're like the alcoholic who throws up and passes out repeatedly on your carpet but refuses to admit he has a problem.

"Fat acceptance?" What's next? Crack smoking acceptance? Domestic violence acceptance?

I have nothing against fat people who are happy to stay that way -- except, like I said, when I'm sitting next to them on a plane or in a theatre. Then they are invading my personal space and I resent it.

Anyone who's morbidly obese and does nothing about it (but swill Coke and junk food) should have the courage to put up with a few jokes. Just like the guy with the awful toupee or combover ... if he's in denial about how awful he looks, he has no right to demand the rest of us be in denial about it, too.

Obesity is nearly always a failure of character or self-discipline, or just not giving a shit. I don't see why people who don't give a shit should be tenderly protected from criticism.

And you don't see this shit in Europe. Europeans have too much pride to let themselves become whales. This is an American problem -- Americans with too much access to junkfood and too little self-discipline. My two cents!:fro:
 
Hey, some of my best friends are fat!

I tend to think that the presence of fit people like most of us in the lives of fat friends has its own effect. I don't believe in telling anyone what to do, because they need to make some big decisions to change themselves and big decisions must come on their schedule. A whole lifestyle change is not easy.

Most girls I've been with (incl my wife) have eventually made their "own" decision to become more fitness oriented. Lead by example I guess.

There are a couple of women I've seen at my gym (both now pretty hot). They started out pretty overweight, and got a lot better over the course of a year... but in only one year the job was far from over especially for one of these ladies who seemed to be on the stair climber all the time but still had a lot of poundage below the equator. I wanted to tell her YOU NEED TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO DIET, all this exercise alone can't help you. Well lo and behold she finally figured it out and kept working out too and after like 3-4 years she is totally hot (as is the other one, who is even hotter now and got breast implants too).

Moral of the story is, don't count out a fat chick lest she become incredibly hot later on!!!

These things take time. Someone needs to find an activity they like and get motivated over time to make it more and more a part of their lives. I won't even disagree with the "Richard Simmons" approach or the Susan Powter approach. Getting those sedentary bodies in motion is the first step. The next steps of course - especially diet - are ultimately up to the individual.

By the way diet is the last thing a lot of people learn about, fit or not. A lot of people think they eat ok... there are so many myths about it... even pro athletes have only just begun to pay serious attention to diet. Just look at all the little things you've learned as a BB - I used to think as long as it was protein it was OK (so I would eat little packs of smoked turkey).... it wasn't terrible and I still eat it from time to time, but over time I learned how much sodium was in that stuff... as I learn more about diet the easier I find it is to look leaner without depriving myself... it is truly not easy for a lot of us who have middling genetics to figure out dietary issues... and yes there are people with flat-out bad genetics... congratulations to anyone who takes the first steps.

That being said, I've never been very fat and I fully plan to end this year at 9% BF and 195 lbs at 5'8" so I can relate less and less to fat people.

I guess to sum up we should lead by example and try to be helpful but only if asked.
 
I usually don't feel uncomfortable, you just have to realize they look to you as their savior who can maybe help them feel better about themselves.
 
you feel uncomfortable eating around fat people, whats the deal. you gotta eat go and fuckin eat. as for them asking you questions just tell them its all about diet and some type of phsyical activity
 
Fact: Fat people are harder to kidnap

But I do feel sorta uncomfortable around fat people. Mostly because I hate lazy people.
