People who are obese by their own neglegence should not say how much they despise thin people.

Of course any individual fat or skinny have every right to express their own opinions. No matter how childish their so called opinion might be. However if one who is obese were to say, "I hate any form of people who is skinner than me...as far as I'm concerned they can all go to hell." Which actually was an occurence that happened on Dr. Phil. An overweight man said that on the television. Let us take this young man. I do not believe that what he said was any form of intelligent opinion. It was an opinion yes, however it was not expressed in a way that could benefit his current situation. Let me be clear, this man was expressing the pent up anger he had within himself because he was envious. Perhaps he really did not hate the people that he envied, perhaps he only hated himself for getting himself in that position. Whatever this unfortunate man was feeling I do not know. But it is all a matter of what this one put out. He gave the image of weakness and sloth and when he did that it made me pity him less. Instead of letting out his anger that way mind you this man was at least in his thirties. He should have known better but unfortuately it isn't always so. Please do not misunderstand, I understand that one cannot change the opinions of others. And you are quite correct when you say that even fit people can make fun. Of course and it is unfortunate. No one has the right to do such things. When I stated "normal" sized I meant it in the manner of just your average person. Say ....a person like yourself. You seem pretty fit yourself. Say you were a girl...about 5'8 and you weighed 130lbs. That would not be a bad weight at all for you if you. Being of that height it could help you hold your weight rather well. Now beign 130lbs isn't fat and it isn't really skinny it is simply just right. I spoke nothing of eating disorders. I only stated skinny or fit. Now when you look at a person who is of an average weight and you take an obese person...depending on just how big that person is they could look at a person with a little puppy fat and say..."oh you're just so skinny." I remember learning about in the earlier times larger women being more desired, that may be true but you must know that times have changed. It all depends on what you like. In relationships some people like it some don't. In matters of meaness I do not think a person skinny or fat should have any right to discriminate anyone against their image fat or skinny. But just because I say that it doesn't mean that I can change it. However I certainly do not like it and I will not like it for that matter. But I will not complain about it because whenever someone larger than I says something like that I simply ignore it. I refuse to condone such behavior. If I were to give advice to an overweight girl or boy I would not judge them. I mean it's obvious their situation isn't good but their in it and it is easier to get out of it when your young because you lose the weight easier. So I would encourage them give them the best advice possible and tell them that even though it's hard you must go with a little hunger when you lose weight. You must just do it the old fashioned way. Eat but eat with self discipline and be smart about excersise and get as much encouragement as you can. I shall await your response.
