I think they need to be helped and pushed in the direction of a healthy lifestyle.
The most annoying thing is when they come to me for that help, but then decide to go against what I say and still choose unhealthy foods and drinks.
If their weight is causing health concerns and issues, then yes. If because simply people are allergic and have a shallow image of how people's body should be then it is no one's concern.
I don't care as long as no one is trying to force me to think of overweight people as desirable. To some people they are, but it's just not my cup of tea and I hate having other peoples views shoved down my throat.
If people are slightly overweight then it's not a big deal but when people are morbidly obese and don't try do anything about it then it's pretty disgusting. I'm all for helping them but them but then need to help themselves too.
idk, as an overweight person (though not obese, which I assume is what a lot of people are thinking of), pushing someone into a lifestyle they don't want seems kind of
That said, I don't know why people wouldn't want to live a healthier lifestyle. I exercise for a hour every day and I've never been healthier (in a general sense, not even talking about weight)
A healthy lifestyle should be encouraged, of course.
And fat people shouldn't be generalised, or looked down upon. It's so so shallow, and bigoted, and underweight people, alcoholics, and drug addicts are just as unhealthy. Every person is an individual!
Let me spill a little. I know some people in the world believe all fat people are like that because of fast food everyday or just because of being lazy but I know a good few people, myself included, who are overweight because of depression. I know you could work through it and remain fit but at points in our life we didn't have someone to stop us from emotional eating, we didn't have someone to tell us to get up and exercise, our parents barely gave a **** until recently. I've been depressed for YEARS and I can tell you its not from being fat, I think it's just a product of my depression. If it wasn't how come now that i'm better i'm eating less, exercising more and losing weight?

I agree with all of this.

"Eating your emotions" is definitely a real thing. That's why I get upset when people generalize overweight people because I know everyone doesn't have the same situation. Some people might eat a lot because they simply love food but others might eat a lot because it provides them a temporary happiness from things going on in their life. That's great that you're losing weight, keep up the good work!

Thanks sis At our young age alot of us don't turn to things like alcohol and smoking so this is something we could find comfort in. Something horrible has been happening recently with some students taking these horrible weight loss drugs that has led to them having to go to the hospital due to heart problems They tried to make me take but I dissociated myself from them. They are now huge egotistical gym monsters.
