You can diet your butt off, and lose 150 fricking lbs and still be treated like dirt if you are not "thin" enough. Ive lost 70 in 2 years, but I am still treated like dirt, because I havent hit the magic number!

I feel sorry for your sister. Why do you call her UGLY? Just because she is fat?

You know what is scary about this society to me, everyone is becoming CLONES. I can barely tell the difference between actresses on TV anymore, they look so much alike.

and who decided sinewy necks, and seeing every bone, was beautiful anyway?
ahahahaha I agree, ever since I had my son, I got heavier and depression can do it to you too. I lost my dad to a heartattack, got pregnant with a man that changed his personality when it was time for responsibility. There could be factors into being heavy.

That they either feel more hunger then a normal thin person. [There are legitimate eating disorders, but Ive had thin friends tell me they can go all day without eating and think nothing of it]

or they dont burn the food off as well?

I know thin people that eat tons of junk and still dont get fat. I have a person at church, lady, who eats three plates of food {Maybe she doesnt eat for the next two days I dont know...} and is very very thin.
Its called high metabolisim

I notice that when I am with her some of the negative vibes that are directed at her because of her weight and general appearance is also directed at me. It is almost like people are saying, "what are you doing with her"

So, are you embarrassed to be seen with people who are fat, frumpy and ugly?

NO I am not embarrassed to be seen with fat, frumpy or ugly people if I care about them, consider them my friend or choose to have them in my life who cares what POMPOUS, IGNORANT, MEAN, SELFISH, EVIL PEOPLE have to say about them

Some people in this world better look at themselves FIRST before daring to make fun of anyone else . Those are people who are SELF CONSCIOUS about themselves and need to comment on other's....

[quote=macjr82;9165045]Fat people can be healthy, fat people can be happy, fat people can even be sexy. I understand people gaining weight, but I don't understand unhappy fat people. Nobody woke up fat, before u were 300, u were 275, before 275, you were 250.

Most people I know who got fat at some point checked out on life, stopped caring about theirselves, stopped caring about the people around them. There's nothing wrong with being fat, some people love that body type, some "hot people" love that body type, but I don't get self loathing fat people. Are fat people that wish they were skinny.

I used to be fat, over 200lbs and I'm a short dude between 66 and 67 inches (the older I get it closer to the 66). I was happy and confident w/ myself even then. The only reason i lost the weight was b/c I wanted to join the Marines. I know someone who was over 300lbs prior to joining.

Blame my mother, blame the Marine Corps,blame me being a virgo, blame Nike but I was raised with the philosophy to just do it. I believe anybody can do anything, it's just a matter of if they have the WILL to do it. If you don't like being fat cut calories (not too much, or your metabolism will slow) or do 30 min of STRENOUS exercise today. If u don't have "time" save up some money for an operation. If you can do that, then just get over it, but please please please don't use it as a crutch or a reason for self pity.

speaking of self pity, just b/c you're overweight, that doesn't mean you don't have to take care of yourself. that doesn't negate you from putting on makeup and fashionable clothes. sweats aren't the only thing that come in XXXXXL. Go to a Lane Bryant or Ashley Stewart or something.[/q

Your last comment had me laughing my ass off. Sweats aren't the only clothes you can wear....lol....yeah buy plus they have some nice clothes.

I should magically give her social skills because she is my sister

Everyone here would never judge someone by their weight and appearance even if it were extreme

I am a judgmental, shallow fool even though it is someone else who is laughing at my sister.



People magically know how I treat my sister behind closed doors.

Amazing!
Are you surprised?! Are you shocked of the outcome?!
