fat hating... what do you think of these two?

I hate everyone equally.

This^^^ We all have a reason to hate everyone if we just look deep enough:)

I'd like to add that it's somewhat true that some overweight people don't really try to improve their weight situation. At least not the hard way. I had a cousin who wanted to get surgery and the doctor told her she wasn't big enough to get it so she went home and ate like a pig for the next 6 months so she could be big enough to get it! Who the hell does that? This was quite a few years ago, before they started making people try to lose some weight first.

My mom did the same thing. The reason I'm on here trying to do it the right way is because I swore that WOULD NOT be me!

There will always be haters out there. I used to let them bother me that's why i have failed this journey many times because as soon as i got knocked i picked up a bag of dorito's of a bar of chocolate. I didn't want to be the fat girls running that people laughed at so i locked myself away and got even bigger. I made the "i am on a diet" error as opposed to a lifestyle change, In turn i needed to realise i had to change the way i thought about myself and life also to make it work. So now... If people want to hate on me WHATEVER my size or colour then more fool them for taking time out of their own empty lives to think about or hate on me. Life is too short. Embrace it and go get what u want. Frig the haters I didn't even waste my time reading the article. They r not worth my time. Good luck to all reading on your journeys xx

Gotcha!

Well...I don't know that I wholeheartedly agree with the article. However, some of it does ring true. Every action has a reaction. Eating a bunch of junk and gluing your butt to the couch will sometimes make you alot more...giggly.

On the other hand, and I'm not sure about AU...but in US...it's a big problem that no one seems to want to get to the root of.

Instead of educating, lets propose a tax on soda and junk food. Let's regulate what's in our McDonalds happy meals. Let's criticize the fat people but not give them tools. Let's take away recess and study for state proficiency exams. The younger generation is so dumb when it comes to nutrition. I've even come across people my own age (and I'm 26) that don't know how to read a label. I have been with people that complain they are so fat...but have no idea how that entire loaf of italian bread they eat every day is contributing to their weight. It's bread right? It should be healthy...it's a grain. Oh...I ate a salad, that's healthy. Nevermind the triple packs of ranch you just poured on there. There is such a lack of education with nutrition that I've just become quiet about the subject. In a nutshell...I can't criticize fat people when our own system failed to properly educate on the importance of exercise and nutrition.

I get angry too when skinny's get slandered, but for some odd reason that's more acceptable then if a slender person was to shame a fat person.

It is more acceptable, I get rude comments all the time in public about how I look gross. Okay, there is no need to put me down to make yourself feel better. Sick of it.

I hate everyone equally.

Anyone who whines and *****es and complains and does nothing to help themselves and yet expects someone else to give them all the answers / support because they feel entitled to it are all in the same category to me.

I hate everyone equally.

Good for you! It's hard but so worth the self respect you gain!

To me it is just another form of bullying by adults. You shouldn't talk down on anyone - fat, skinny, poor, rich etc.. I am taking my journey as a lifestyle change and with that I have realized everyone struggles in some way so I am choosing to be more patient and just worry about me. What if someone can't work out because of a disease (my mom had cancer and gained due to chemo.) or maybe they are really thin because they are hungry but can't afford food. You have to think of all the angles and when people write things like this it just exposes their ignorance.

I get angry too when skinny's get slandered, but for some odd reason that's more acceptable then if a slender person was to shame a fat person. You see all the time on this site... Threads supporting the heavy, and making the thin seem like they are oddball sticks who will break if the wind blows the wrong way.

Actually this happens all the time on here. I see both sides getting crapped on equally when I'm out in the real world. No one should be shamed either way. That's not helpful. Fat does not necessarily equal lazy and entitled. There are plenty of lazy and entitled people in this world regardless of their weight, color, shape, height, whatever.

As far as the couple in the article...I think they're silly and this is just to get their faces out there and get noticed. Seems silly..surely their CEO clients can keep their pockets full, no?

I hate everyone equally.

Yep, Equal Opportunity Hater here!

Is this news to anyone?

Have you not seen the skinny bashing on MFP?

If there can be skinny bashing on a fitness site... I'm sure you wouldn't be surprised by fat bashing in the world...
