Do overly obese peope disgust you?

This might be funny coming from a 8 months pregnant lady, who've taken on 20 pounds, but .. I'm saying it anyway.

I'm sorry if you are one of these extremely big people I'm talking about, no offense. But you should read this anyway.

Before I say anything, I want to ensure you that I am NOT talking about people who .. are 10 pounds too big, or have put on a little ''holiday weight'' as some refer to it. I am talking about these massive 300+ pound people.

I mean seriously WHAT THE FUCK? How can you get that big, HOW in the WORLD did they manage to become the size of two cows?

 

I just don't get it. Whenever I see these people, I can't help it but feel a little disgusted. They're faces are drowning in fat, they can barely smile.

 

I try not to judge people of their looks - but in my mind obesity is not a ''look''. It is a very sad cry for serious help. It is not natural to eat till you can't move.

 

So are you .. disgusted .. maybe that's a too harsh word to use, but often that is how I feel, so I'm just going to stick with that one. Are you digusted by overly obese people?

 

I realize this debate might get me very unpopular here on CD - but I need to get it out somehow, and I'd rather become a bitch on a website than in real life.

Yeah, it's pretty gross. There should have been a certain point where they thought to themselves "I need to get off my ass and lose some of this weight"... but it appears that a lot of them are just too lazy. The increase in global obesity also shows that there is an increase in global laziness. Society has made it too easy for us to stay entertained while sitting down and too easy for us to acquire unhealthy food... also while sitting down.

I was lmao by the 5th sentence. xD I feel you tho.

Not only are they big, but they have all of those extra fat rolls carrying all that extra funky musk. I can't really look at them without matching the figure with the smell. I guess it has traumatized me.

I really hate it when people say stuff like this.

The only thing on my mind when I see obese people is sympathy. Even though I'm still young and have never experienced being overweight, I certainly have a little empathy towards those that are.

I've always had an extremely fast metabolism. If I didn't, I would probably be overweight, as my diet isn't entirely healthy.

The thing is, people gradually gain weight. It's not like someone can go from 150 to 300 overnight. American society really glorifies eating, and it's only logical that a large majority of people become overweight through the over-consumption of food. What seem like normal portions are really both way too much food, and way too unhealthy food. By the time individuals realize that they really are significantly overweight, it's HARD to change. You want to, but it's HARD.

You can sit here and say that if people took better care of themselves, obesity wouldn't be a problem. I would agree with you. But the reason it disgusts you and doesn't disgust me is because I'm disgusted at the root of the problem.

I see disturbingly fat children, I don't think this is true.

Well then there's probably genetics involved. And that should make you feel even worse for thinking they're disgusting if they have less control over their condition.

I understand what you are saying. Personally, bigger women are unattractive to me. However, I have friends that love women with more weight. It all depends on personal preference. I don't see it as "disgusting", but as unattractive.

1 point

I agree. However, I think there's a difference between "bigger" and so fat that they can't get out of bed.

1 point

Indeed. I should have posted with more clarity. If you can barely get out of bed then I can see how some people would be disgusted.

I wouldn't even classify as "overly" to say obese people disgust me. I know we'd have to define these classifications.

Being overweight isn't attractive to me, but isn't disgusting. According group the 'body/mass index' thing (which says how much you should weigh based on you height) used in America I am, if not "obese" at least overweight. And, not to say that I couldn't afford to lose a few lbs, I have a muscular structure that would make it ridiculous for me to be the 'proper' weight for my height. (That's right I'm short and muscular; big whoop, wanna fight about it?)

So, yeah someone who is, by any definition, obese is offensive, if not out-right disgusting, I me.

And it doesn't matter the reason (excepting glandular, which is about 10,000% less common than claimed). Yeah weight gain does/ can sneak up on you (something most fat people can't do) but there is point before you hit 3 bills where you realize "oh shit, I'm a fat ass".

So everyone, not pregnant (love you shout'), take note of the jean size you currently wear and whenever you by another pair of jeans, if the size is different, ask yourself why their is a discrepancy.

I can't help but feel disgusted when I see it, but when I try understand where they are coming from, I realize that it's actually much more sad than disgusting. When I sincerely see how sad it is, the disgust naturally fades away.

1 point

sad would be a better way to describe my feelings for them. :/ nobody wants to be fat. they probably can't help themselves and end up that way.

1 point

Is this about me? Because somehow I think it's about me? :(

You're a zombie, being a fat zombie is just awesome, not disgusting ;)

A big fat zombie would be cool.... but I was just JKing... I'm only 140 (pounds, I don't know anything about that metric crap that you guys use).

I started gaining the weigh after I was raped. I was angry as Hell and I just did not care anymore. I then changed my meds which made the situation worse, but I have lost 25 pounds and plan on trying to lose maybe 100 more. And you really do not count in the weight category because you have to gain weight for a healthy baby. I bet you are perfect, chica.

It's disgusting. It's unhealthy and unapealling to others and is quite disturbing.

Its just putting it on little at a time. Before you know it, BOOM! You weigh as much as a house.
