I hate poor people. There, I said it. Carrying around excess debt for any other reason than investing represents a disgusting lack of self respect. The amount of time and effort required to make more than 100k a year is so minimal, that I can´t even comprehend the mindset of someone who refuses to put in that time.

I disagree. The OP asked for our opinions and our stances on a type of person and we’re giving it. I gave my opinion. Am I minding my own business? Yes. But I am also answering the OP’s question. I’m not whining about fat people, I’m expressing my view. There’s a difference, a huge difference. And I certainly don’t HATE people for being overweight. I gave my reasons in my posts.

You can get an illness and end up in debt, however, to my knowledge, very few people get sick and gain 80 lbs. Stop smoking the fail-weed orion.

Being a FFB (220lbs to 143lbs, now 169lbs), I don’t hate fat people. If you want to be fat, go ahead, not my problem, just don’t try and push it on me, or make derogatory comments about the way I live.

That’s kind of a general rule with me. You can believe in/do whatever you want, it’s up to you, but as soon as you start pushing your beliefs on me, I’m probably going to tell you to fuck off. And I don’t mean having a good debate or conversation about a subject, that’s great, I love to hear others points of view, but once you start pushing your views on me or blatantly saying my views are wrong, it’s go fuck yourself time.

I share this view

I HATE fat people. But that’s because the only ‘fat’ people I’ve known have been the ones who insist that you can be fat and healthy while being sedentary. Those are the people I used to hang around with. Those people are (partially) the reason I was at 25% BF until about a year ago.

I’m not saying it’s just them, I have to shoulder a lot of the blame.

But people like that are toxic.

I hate FAT. I hate the way it makes you look. I hate the way it makes you feel about yourself. I hate the way it robs you from so many wonderful things life has to offer.

If obese people and people in general would stop defining themselves & their self worth by the amount of fat hanging from their body society may be healthier.

Weight is temporary & can be lost and gained quickly due to various reasons and methods.

The obese community needs to be honest with themselves on why & how they reached their current unhealthy weight & why they maintain it. Facing ones fears and issues can be hard to do. Fat is a symptom of an underlying issue. Its when you find the strength & courage to face those fears/issues that’s when you can find the strength & courage to become healthy.

Its almost like having cancer. You know you have it but if you don’t correctly identify the type of cancer your fighting you’ll never become well. You wouldn’t treat a breast cancer pt the same way you would a testicular cancer pt. Identify the real enemy and you can win the war.

Can fat people truly be happy? Is a fit person truly happy? Humans have problems…period. Humans have self esteem issues and self respect issues.

I’m smart enough to know that being fit and looking damn fine nekkid is not going to solve all of lifes problems.

I am also smart enough to know I’m going to enjoy theeee hell outta lookin’ good and all the lil perks that go along with it!!! ;->

How many fat people have tried to “push it on you”. I don’t think I have ever met anyone who views being overweight as a good thing.

Most fat people I have come across seem to realize that their lifestyle is disgusting and unhealthy but simply don’t have the willpower to actually do anything about it.

Why does one not have willpower…because they lack desire.

This is why you have to realize obesity is a symptom of an emotional problem. Cure the emotional problem and the willpower will follow.

Many people use food to medicate themselves. Its used and abused the same as drugs, alcohol, and sex. Ever met a crack addict? I used to counsel them. Those with successful recoveries went to the root of the problem and delt with it from the ground up. They also realized why life was worth living or created a reason for themselves.

I’m hard on my overweight friends. If we go to dinner and they wrestle with the idea of having a dessert afterwards I tell them to eat it, shut the hell up about it, and be happy about the decision they made. If they decide against it, kudos.

If I hear them say “I don’t understand why I can’t lose weight?” my response is always the same, “Because you don’t want to. You enjoy being fat. Stop being comfortable with it, get to the root of it, and you’ll change. Next subject please.”

tell Dave Tate you hate fat people…to his face. See what happens lol. I know hes not fat anymore…but hes fat at heart.

Fat doesnt mean lazy. and certainly not unathletic. look at dave b4 he transformed or Thibs pre transformation.

I have 3 people in my high school (out of 250), who are morbidly obese already (350+lbs). You’re 18 or younger! You still have a fast metabolism and few responsibilities!

With so much free time you can’t do ANYTHING to work on resolving your problem? I got a ride to school from one of them once, and she pulls up eating a pastry the size of a dinner plate, and she complains that she’s fat! As if it doesn’t have anything to do with the 800 calorie “snack” she’s eating.

Now she’s pregnant, and the funny thing is, you can’t even tell! She herself wasn’t even sure until 5 months in!

I view any addiction as a matter of willpower. I was addicted to caffeine, I would get hardcore headaches if i didn’t have at least a coffee and a couple cans of soda. In three months i cut down my soda usage, stopped drinking energy drinks, and now only have a coffee in the morning, and don’t drink soda or energy drinks at all.

Fat people who complain about their weight piss me off if they’re not really trying to change themselves. You expect me to feel sorry for you because you lack the mental resolve to say “Today, I won’t eat lunch”, or even just not snacking at all, and only eating your 3 Huge meals a day? Trust me large people, if you snack 1000+ calories a day, It’ll make a difference if you don’t eat that food.

They seem to always resign themselves to being fat. “Oh, I just can’t lose weight! I lose a few pounds and then gain it all back!” Well, maybe it has something to do with the fact that you only tried dieting for a week? You hear these amazing stories of people losing 200+lbs. You think they’re genetic freaks? No, THEY just have the correct mindset, they decide they want change, and THEY fight for it.

It’s really not THAT hard to make healthy choices, even something as small as drinking propel (0 calories) instead of that bottle of soda (275 calories) at lunch every day would make a difference. You make four choices like that a day and the change will start.

Rant Over..

That’s a fair assessment. People just need to have some self respect and help themselves. That’s all I ask for. They don’t have to be bodybuilders by any means, just have some self respect and dignity.

This site is pro-whining. Here we have an entire thread of people talking about how they HATE other people for being overweight. This site is anti shut the hell up and mind your own business.[/quote]

Unfortunately I think you are correct.

Seems pretty simple and straight forward to me. Maybe you should learn to read and then comprehend what you’ve read.

Bealedozer as i said in my post, I have NO problem with anyone who’s fat but ACTUALLY TRIES to make a difference. I respect anyone who lifts and tries to better themselves, I know i don’t see the full picture, I’m just calling it how i see it.
You’re trying to make a difference, and more power to you because of it. It’s those who complain but don’t try to better themselves that I’m ranting against. I have nothing against Size Kings, who don’t want to lose any mass, just to be huge (muscle AND fat, mostly muscle).

Ultimately, my opinion probably won’t make a difference, but if it makes even one person lose one pound, I’ll view it as worth it. As for working as hard as I do, I’ll admit that it’s probable that YOU do. It’s those that don’t work at all that my rant is targeting. Of course…anyone that I’m targeting probably won’t be on T-Nation. Nevertheless, that’s my stance

I work with a woman who is not only obese, but also smokes. She walks around the corner to smoke during her lunch break and claims that she is unable to walk across the street to our other offices without stoping to rest, so she expects everyone else to deliver her mail between the offices.

I resent that people like her increase the rates that we pay for our health insurance.

I think hate is a strong word, but if you can’t walk across a street without hugging and puffing, I sure as hell don’t want to hang out with you.
