Why obesity is regarded as something to be proud of and slimness is regarded as an eating disorder? |
I've seen one too many programs in which obese people talk about how proud they are of their condition and they get the audience's applause, and very thin people get critisized. I don't get it, both conditions are unhealthy. I believe that what people are applauding is not the obesity itself, but the feelings of "I'm not going to be ashamed of this" or "I'm going to love myself the way I am" or "I'm not going to let other people's prejuidice negatively affect me," that kind of thing. However, it can be confusing, because obesity is unhealthy, and carries significant health risks. It's sad when people confuse contempt for them personally with genuine concern about the health risks associated with their condition. Yes, you are definitely right. I guess its their way of sour graping. yes, both conditions are unhealthy you are correct. They may have just been doing that so that people don't "try to become skinny"... because when you're anorexic you could die within a year when your fat it will take more than that before you die. Yep I agree! I feel obesity is to be pitied...whether it be medical or emotional, it's not to be applauded!!! Same for size zero....people seem to work hard at being ultra thin....why???? Nothing attractive in either! Nothing wrong with being a size 12-14 (UK) with me..... Being a big, fat size zero is hardly an achievement.. (damn....why oh why did I have Chinese take-away?.....I should have had carrot juice instead)!lol X Neither extreme are any good... You know what its a obsession they think its ok , big or slim who cares ,but me I eat healthy and enjoy what i eat .x Am overweight at the moment but to me is because slimness is hard to reach for most and being overweight is very easy you even gain weight as you get older without trying but its a very small amount of people who are slim without trying trust me if it was the other way around we would have shows showing slimness and being proud of it. And the real reason is because overweight people are looked down on and you have to admit it even tv shows the fat one has to be the funny one something has to be about her weight no such movie will have her as a normal person and even in real life the over weight ones are mostly the funny friends or too nice so now sense its hard to reach a thin body people are trying to love themselves no matter the weight showing bigger sizes. |
