46 Examples Of Double Standards In Our Society That You’re Probably Guilty Of

Regardless of genetics or your diet, you might suffer from something else. In my case is hypothyroidism, and unless I starve myself and workout daily, I'll never be able to even reach my "healthy" weight. I do have a healthy lifestyle, ride my bike to work and go to the gym three days a week. I just have came up to terms I'll always be overweight and embrace the flabby parts.

I dunno, I eat a s**t ton of incredibly unhealthy greasy, calory rich junk food, and I am far from fat. I knew a friend who (admittedly had some digestion problem) who looked like she was anorexic, no matter what and how much she ate.

Some research has shown that genetics plays a significant role on obesity. Everyone has the ability to maintain a healthy weight, but it is harder for some due to genetics, income, learned behavior or mental stability.

And I heard about researches saying the opposite : for a genetical obese person, eating the equivalent of an extra apple each day will have a major impact on their weight, which is not the case for genetically thin people. So who's right ? We don't know, and that's why we shouldn't judge, just because : we.don't.know.

P.Brux FHell, me too. I'm on treatment, but people always judges us. No matter how healthy is our food, or how we exersise... Hypothyroidism sucks.

Genetics is everything. Genetics determine whether you have a slow or high metabolism. There is a guy I used to work with that was super skinny. (His mother is the same way) His girlfriend and him have been trying to get him to gain weight in a healthy manner, but because of his extreme high metabolism, no matter what or how much he ate, which could be a lot, he was still super skinny. I, on the other hand, am a rather large person with a slow metabolism, but I only half as much as the guy I knew, and struggle with lowering my weight.

Then why do obese people feel hunger more than skinny people? Obese were skinny once too and at some point they started feeling hungry more often than skinny people for them to eat more than needed.

Exactly what I thought. But it got downvoted by people who can't distinguish reality from propaganda.

Chris, AMEN. I would rather see weighted people excersice, not because of fat shame reasons, but for their own good. Excessive fat can kill you! I just want everyone to live longer lives. To all of the people thinking this is offensive, sorry for trying to expand your lifespan.

I totally get you. I have hypothyroidism. And even when I've been on a diet (by a professional, not fad one) and exercising... I BARELY lose a couple of pounds, even thou I work my a*s off. It is frustrating. And yeah, whenever I go to a restaurant, or ask for my "low-fat" coffee at my favorite cafe, I can't help it but to feel that I've been judged and that people might be thinking "HA! a fatty ordering a 'low fat' meal/drink... shut your mouth and start excising, lardball!". I try not to five a s**t,, but it is not that easy! And I HATE it too when my friends recommend me a diet or talk about "how horrible it is that they gained a single pound for breaking their diet" or whatever.. when I gain twice the weight for just smelling food! Ugh.

Sunny, what's worse is when I'm overweight (240 lbs) and barely eating, " Aw, she's on a diet," and people telling me what diet to go on.

And how annoying it must be to HAVE to eat a lot, while the rest of the world is telling you that eating too much is wrong, and that you "MUST eat a little, because, well... you are a woman and women shouldn't eat a lot", right? I must be exhausting. =(

Yep, the only time it is your business what someone else eats is if they ask for your opinion or advice. Which most likely will be a family member or health care provider.

George, it's not about "not caring", it's about education - not just parents to children, but also society to parents. Additionally, it's also too often a matter of means: when junk food cost a lot less than fruits and veggies and you work 3 jobs to make ends meet on a minimum wage that is not a liveable wage, you have to organize your priorities accordingly.

And people never caring what other people is how 10 year olds become obese

lunanoir69 that's exactly my point that it doesn't matter how it LOOKS. I'm not demanding admiration, I also dislike many things but I'm not trying to mould other people to fit my tastes and ideals. There's a huge difference between 'that's not my thing, I wouldn't do it' and 'you're gross, you have to change'.

Wait til you're 60, honey, and we'll see what your body looks like!

And yet they will also end up with clogged arteries and other diet-related diseases because fat is not the only thing that comes with junk food.

I used to be a checker and saw lots of skinny families with buggies full of junk food. Weight does not always reflect diet one even activity

Of course skin people often don't eat healthy, but that doesn't make being fat less unhealthy and dangerous for life. And yes, skinny parents have obese kids, but it's not as often, as fat parents. I was fat as a kid and I just wish that parent learn their kids to it healthy. That's all.

Im not disagreeing with you guys George. Im just saying not all heavy people are heavy for that reason.

That wasn't exactly directed towards you at all either, I was just saying that bc its a double edged sword. There are plently of perfectly healthy people who end up with cancer and all kinds of crazy stuff. But if someone is happy being heavy people should respect it. Its not healthy to be over weight, especially if its something you can control and fix on your own. I meant that some people cant help being heavy, for some people its not a choice. Just like some very thin people cant gain weight and are always too small. If that girl in the bottom picture was eating some vegetables or a salad she would still be getting the same responses, just as she's eating a cheeseburger or some fries.

Yes I know that but usually it is because of the way they eat. And I know that some people are too skinny which isn't healthy either but im just saying its not good to be overweight because I know some people that have bad eating habits and they have a lot of health issues because of it. My grandma is a very good cook and loves to fry her food and eat a lot of sweets and now she has type 2 diabetes. I just put that out there because I know what it can do to you to be overweight.

Yes, but the MAJORITY of fat people are fat due to poor diet and lack of exercise
