Do you think they don't know?  C'mon, do you really believe overweight people don't know their thighs are enormous?  What do you expect when telling an overweight person they are fat?  Sincere shock and the words "OhmyGod, you're right, I didn't even know!", then a warm handshake of thanks?  Why don't you fat-haters just leave them alone?

Really, who does that?  If you're fat, you know it, I know it, and chair you're sitting in really knows it.

Oh my God!  No, they were being f**ktards who should probably enjoy a good evening of electro-shock to get them back on track as people.\n\nIf you're a 5'7" female, you should weigh anywhere between 127 and 159 pounds.  That would be considered ideal, so the other user (and if you can contact her through her question, please do so) was thin, and you're actually a bit underweight.\n\nI don't care what anyone else says, you're NOT supposed to be able to see the outline of your skeleton, and women are SUPPOSED to be hippy.\n\nGuys really need to spend a bit more time perusing their Boticelli and learning to appreciate the beauty the female form was supposed to possess.\n\nYou're fine, girl.  Anyone who tells you you're fat either doesn't know what they're talking about, or they're just being malicious.  In either case, you shouldn't bother listening to them.  =)

Let me tell you what I did when I was rejected by a female for basically being fat. I asked her out on a date of sort. She laughed and pretty much called me fat in front of a few people. I stood there kinda heartbroke. But then looked back at her and said ' I might be fat, But your ugly and I can diet". Needless to say, I saved my pride. \nThe moral of the story is that no one is perfect. And don't worry about what others think. Or put yourself down like I did.

Being a BBW I never realized how much I actually do that. I think part of it comes from being overweight and being made fun of by thinner women. I also think it comes from fear and jealousy. I don’t want my man going to someone else, especially a thin person. It’s a feeling of not being good enough. It’s a fear of loosing to someone who doesn’t make you feel good. And yes in my case there is jealousy that you can be thin and I can’t. Well not as easily as it seems for you. I for one apologize on behalf of BBW's that have made remarks or made you feel bad for who you are. I agree that it's not acceptable.

i wonder that myself. people would look so much better if they wore clothing that fit them and was flattering. size 2 or size 16, its all about how you dress to flatter your figure. \n\nhere are some ideas\n1. they can't afford new clothes\n2. they are in denial that they have gained weight since buying those clothes\n3. they use it as motivation to lose weight\n4. they are oblivious that their spare tire is hanging over their pants\n5. they don't care\n6. they wish they still had the body to pull off some of their favorite pieces of clothing

Not even near 300, I went to a restaurant one day and sat near a mother and daughter.  She was the cutest 5 year old you could imagine.\n\nNow, true to form, she said to her mom, pointing at me, 'Mom, he's really fat!'.  And I kept my composure as her mom told her that wasn't nice and to stop.  After a couple of times, she had to take her stand for what she believed in, stood up, pointed at me, and said, 'MOM!!! YOUR DON'T UNDERSTAND!! HE IS REAAAAALLLYYY FAATTTT!!!'.  She announced her convictions to the world in such a way that no one could doubt who said it, and who she was pointing at.\n\nI put my utensils down...put money on the table, and just walked out and went somewhere else to eat...ALONE.\n\nIt's not your business how other people run their lives, and that goes for fat, smoking, or any other idiosyncrasies they have.\n\nPolitically corect is minding your own business to the general public, you don't know and it's not their responsibility to explain their life to anyone that thinks differently.

I think that the reason people ask other people if they are annorexic is because they are jealous.  Another reason is that people don't think that it would hurt the person's feelings if they asked, even though it would.  People know that people that are overweight are normally not happy with their body, but people naturally guess that when people are really skinny, they are happy with their body and wouldn't care if other people asked.  I know a friend who is in the exact same position as you, and it makes me feel bad when people ask her that.\n\ngood luck :)

Heck YES, they can die! They need HeLp fast!!\n\nTo me, nothing but NOTHING is worth trying to "pretend" I'm (or my body) is _any_ way it's "truly" not!!\n\nIf I'm 15 lbs overweight, or my hair falls out sooner than I'd rather it would, or it turns from blond to grey sooner than I'd like -- SO WHAT?!! I'm still ME, Chuck.\n\nAnd if that's not good enough for you, I'll just pick up my tinker toys and go home where at least *I* love me. I don't need this competition crud, since it proves nothing. All competition does is feed the ego!! And if yours is hungry, a therapist is needed.  Besides.... I'm already smelling an "Inferiority Complex" or teenager or a woman under 35 yo.\n\nI just wish people would stop referring to bulimia as a "disease" unless a person wants to consider a self invoked line of 'thinking' as a "mental disease".

unfortunately, even in our society where obese people are becoming the norm and are no longer the minority, there are still people who gawk and stare and make stupid comments like Andrew.  As an overweight female, I know exactly what you are going through, and it took me a long time to get to the point where I eat what I want in front of whoever happens to be in the vicinity.  but I still get the looks and even if I DON'T get the looks I am still self-conscious that I am being watched by someone I can't see and therefore am being judged. so I make a conscious effort to watch the way I am eating in public and spend the rest of my meal worrying about what complete strangers think about my dinner etiquette.  But think about it this way, no matter what, people are going to stare.  \nif you are thin, they stare wondering how you stay so thin. (i do it too)\nif you are overweight, they stare wondering about that person's health, physical and mental. (Unless you are like me and they stare because they wonder how it is that I am sooo freakin' gorgeous.  As i am sure the case is with you.)\nif you are black, you get stared at.\ndepending on the area, if you are white, you get stared.\n\nbasically no matter what, you will be stared at.  what you have to decide is are you going to be what you think THEY want you to be?  or are you going to eat your cheeseburger and say "F*** you"?

I think sometimes it can be difficult for people who carry some more weight than you to understand why you are thinner. There seems to be a lot of tasty food around now so mabye some just don't understand this. I suppose it comes down to a kind of jealousy thing.

i don't think anyone is 100% happy with themselves. I think i'm fat, even though i'm really not. don't worry, i'm sure everyone thinks they have at least 1 imperfection.

You are too crude!   you make me laugh...\n\n50lbs on an anorexic really can't be 'fat' as you call it...\nbut yeah, dump her..........

It depends on whether that photo is really you or not. Since I've seen it all over the internet I think it's more likely that you're just being an asshole toward overweight people, and you need to get over yourself.

Perhaps, people cant think of a more healthy way to lose weight . . . are these people your "friends". You should help them find better healthier ways, than talking of them in this q&a on yahoo.
