    For instance: one guy on here, who is really fit, 6 pack and all, is asking if he should run shirtless or not.

    I'm fat I would never think of running shirtless.

    So, why make fat people feel bad when you question your six pack body to go on a shirtless run?

    Something to consider. Peoples insecurities are their own.
    I'm sure Mr. Six pack meant no disrespect.

    Just because you think Mr. six pack is in great shape and could get away with running shirtless, doesn't mean Mr. six pack sees it that way.

    Being skinny does not equal being confident.
    Besides, not everything is meant to be punching down fat people's confidence and self- esteem! Just because you think you would -of course- run shirtless with such a body, it doesn't mean the person will find it naturally okay.
    I wouldn't consider this as fat- shaming or trying to make fat people bad.

    Why would you think that a person asking a question that had nothing to do with you was trying to make you feel bad? There is enough actual jerkitude in the world, no need to invent more!

    Why does it bother the guy with a six pack to run?
    It just does.

    I think the title should read people having self-esteem/self-confidence problems

    I used to be fat...sometimes it takes awhile for perceptions of yourself to change. Some days I feel fit and awesome...other days I feel like my old fat self and that's what I see in the mirror...so some fit and "skinny" people still do have fat people problems.

    I love skinny girls who complain about wearing the next size up. "Ugh! I'm so fat, I have to get a size six jeans instead of a size four." If I could squeeze into a size six, I'd celebrate with half a cake, because I have actual fat person problems- like celebrating a loss with food.

    Have you considered that the "problems" these people are experiencing aren't actually tied to their weight, so much as their self perception or perception of the world around them? Fat people and thin people can, shockingly enough, have the same "problems".

    Says the man who calls himself "The Fat Fox".

    Worry about yourself. It's a good motto for life.

    oh, here we go. skinny shaming alert!!! :grumble:

    ugh. dude, the guy who posted about running w/o a shirt has busted his freaking *kitten*, and yes - now has a bit of lag where he's still having some self-confidence issues. everyone needs support. if you need some, just ask for it instead of being a pissant.

    I have a feeling that post may have been more about other people than himself...but I didn't read the whole thread.

    Never mind, apparently it was about his own insecurities...

    My brain still hasn't caught up and it's been 5 years.....

    Lack of Self-esteem is NOT a fat person problem.

    Skinny/fit people problems: people with your attitude that believe they don't have insecurities or problems and therefore don't have feelings and aren't allowed to complain....ummmm ok

    Trust me if I had a choice.......I'd love to feel like I was all that and a bag of chips! But I don't I am insecure, scared and unsure of my body and my confidence. You lose a 150 lbs, it really throws your world off balance....physically and emotionally!!!

    When ever I purchase a new dress or clothing I am not sure of, or if I should be wearing, I send a pic of me wearing it to my female friends for approval.....not that I need the boost of confidence, but because of being insecure, and feeling less than adequate for several years of my adult life.

    This is a place for support, and understanding....since we all should have the same common goal!

    Hi. I'm Mr. Six pack from the other thread you are talking about. Until the last couple of years I have always been in the extremely overweight/obese category. I apologize for making you feel bad or what you would consider fat shaming. This was nowhere close to the purpose of the thread. My body is relatively new to me and I'm still trying to find my bearings with it after all the hard work I put in. Until recently I was shy to even take my shirt off at the beach or a pool. This is all new to me and I thought my question was valid as to what is acceptable and not douchy to do. You will have to excuse me while I learn.

    It's not meant to be personal, people are allowed to have "fat people problems" whether you think they should or not.

    The real enemy is society that equates having any amount of fat to being disgusting, gross and ugly.

    Don't apologize you busted your *kitten* and have no reason to apologize, misery loves company and clearly the op is miserable and wants others to be as miserable as him

    NO need to apologize. Even after we lose we don't always see things the way they are. Sometimes I still see myself as at my highest weight.

    But you have busted your butt. So enjoy. You look great.
