Do you feel bad for overweight people?

I see them, and i feel bad for them because all they want to do is lose the pounds and run around like normal person. It really is a sad existance, stuck in bed all day, wasting precious years of life. Childhood obesity is also pretty sad, when i see an overweight child, all i can think about is the sad ridicule he will go through in school and life.

How do you feel?

I feel that you don't know the difference between overweight and morbidly obesity.

I do. Being overweight obviously isn't healthy, but overweight people receive far more scorn than they deserve. And none of that scorn helps them in healthy ways.ghoklebutter

No unless they have a valid reason being overweight.

I don't feel bad for any fat people that have gotten that way due to their own laziness.  If someone truly has a genetic condition or physical disability that has been the primary contributor to their obesity, yes.. I feel bad for them.  Most fatties are that way because they lack the self-discipline and motivation to become fit.  Those people deserve no sympathy IMO.  

Yeah, for the most part they seem pretty miserable. They don't get too much sympathy from me though because they have the power to change.

Only people i feel bad about is  kids that's young... I really feel like stomping most of those "parents" in the face

I don't feel bad for people who are responsible for what they become. Medical reasons, yeah, I feel bad for them.

I definitely feel bad, after making fun of them.Allicrombie

what if they don't want to do any of those things? and they're happy being fat

Why would I feel bad for them.    Most of them are in that situation because of their own behavior.

I'd only feel bad for someone who had a disorder or something where it made it extremely difficult to control weight.

Why would I feel bad?

Oh look! It's a "we hate fat people" thread.

Nope.

no

Overweight people? No.

Morbidly obese people? Sometimes. I'd imagine in a large amount of cases being morbidly obese could potentially be life-threatening. And such people I would imagine could receive more scorn than someone who is simply just overweight.

Kids who are fat due to lack of control by parents.. I definitely feel bad. I've always had a high metabolism so I pretty much eat whatever I want and don't care. Sucks for people who gain a pound just by looking at cheeseburger.

Some. Like I've got a friend that's pretty overweight, but both his parents are like 300+ pounds. So he's obviously gotta struggle more than most people to lose weight.

lmfao thats a bit condescending

We should stop making fun of them. They have too much on their plate already.ShadowsDemon

:lol:

Yes and no. It is somewhat their responsebility for talking care of themselves. Otherwise I do feel bad if they are put in a situation where they have to run to or from something.

There are very few that are bed ridden because of weight. About 1/3 of the US is obese and that makes me sad. It's really not super hard nowadays to reduce your caloric intake even just a couple of hundred calories and lose a pound or so each month. My biggest complaint is when the overweight people, especially women, get defensive about something that they could change if they wanted to. It doesnt help their case when they park in handicap spots and then go into the store and get onto a motorized cart.Kurushio

If they dont feel bad for themselves why should we?

I feel bad for skinny people. All that dieting and excercise, and still appear unattractive :?
