Fat white women usually earn less than thin white women 24 percent less, according to one study. People often justify their judgements about fat people by saying they choose to be fat. There are many myths about fat people. That all fat people have eating disorders or unresolved emotional or mental issues. This is completely illogical since body weight is determined by many factors such as genetics, metabolism and dieting history.
Some people are naturally fat.
My belly is front and center, like I am pregnant. I look like my mother, my sister and both my grandmothers. Genetics are simply science, not character flaws. The Center for Disease Control reports that 78 percent of American women are actively trying to lose weight, and at an amazing failure rate 95 percent of dieters regain what they lost within two to five years. After dieting, the body often gains back the lost weight and more.
