Do you think there’s any excuse for an average obese person not otherwise putting effort into their appearance?

[Anonymous]

I think it’s the bare minimum you can do for yourself if you’re obese (trying to lose weight or not) to put effort into not being sloppy— wearing clothes that fit, good grooming regimens, etc. even if uncomfortable or more work because of size. It might be comfortable to wear sweats but that’ll just enable you and make things worse.

[kyleelyn199723]

What people choose to wear is not up for you to decide. Some people do not have enough money for that and it’s unfortunate that people like you will judge your life away without being sympathetic/optimistic as to why someone might not put effort into their appearance. I am in the field of dietetics and being obese itself is a psychological issue with majority of people of the world on top of not being able to secure nutritious food. Stop being judgmental and honestly just mind your own business. Learn ways to better yourself and not humiliate others that don’t fit your “look” standards. You don’t know these people

[ShaTTeredMasterpeace]

Lol do you ask this same question about people that aren't obese? Because being sloppy is not weight thing. Wear ill fitting clothes is also not just a weight thing. Wearing sweats is not just a weight thing. So unless you have an issue with ANYBODY that is unkempt and doesn't carry themselves well, then it's not those things that bother you. It's simply them being overweight. And at the end of the day, they don't owe you anything.

[dreamsofcum]

I don't care how unkempt or overweight you are as long as you don't start to demand from to love and adore the way you look

[Anonymous]

Yeah. I've been skinny and I've been fat. And let me tell you what I've learned. Women like neither version of me lol. I have no reason to stay in shape and I would just take the easy way out and be a fat bastard. Unfortunately that shortens your life span. Which is the ONLY reason I'm not Jabba the hut. Lol

Try working 50 or 60 hours a week or more and then find time to work out when your motivated to do so.

There is also genetic factors, the fat gene makes it extremely hard for people to lose weight.

I would not worry about others, focus on your own health.

[kyleelyn199723]

Being fat/obese is not genetic. There is no genetic out there that remotes to people being obese.

@kyleelyn199723 As always I appreciate your insight, are you a scientist? I am not I just follow the news on it. There is loads of evidence, that it affects it and can work both ways, both to prevent weight gain and cause it. It can still be worked around though, but someone with the FTO gene or others that cause problems may have to work twice as hard as someone without it to not gain weight or to lose it. Research shows they need to eat 60% of the calories as those without it to not gain weight.

Since I believe in science, I would say this shows that there is a major genetic factor that can cause it.

[kyleelyn199723]

@dragonpurple I am not a scientist but I am a dietitian and one of the first things we were taught is there is no such thing as genetics linked to obesity. Obesity has to do with how much food you consume. Now if you said something like “depression is a genetic illness that can make a family obese” I can agree with that, but there’s no such thing as a gene that automatically makes people obese.

[kyleelyn199723]

@dragonpurple having to work twice as hard does not mean that there is a gene that links to obesity, it just means you need to work harder.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Why are you worrying about their appearance? Worry about your own

[Ninani]

I tend to gain weight when my mental health is at its worst. No fucking way would I have the energy to do anything but the bare minimum to survive, much less use that energy to "look good" when I feel like shit. Even getting out of bed is a battle.

[NamerOfStars]

Of course- because they don't WANT to. What makes you think that people owe you a pleasant countenance to look at? What have YOU done for THEM that you're in a position to make demands?

[Daniela1982]

I think that when someone gets that obese they stop caring because they know their chances of finding a good man is practically nil, so they figure why bother.

[jshm2]

Not everyone obese is concerned, deary.

Some are suffering mental conditions.

[Anonymous]

Maybe they don't have the material and spiritual means. Maybe they have no motivations. You have to leave people alone now. :)

[yeahthatsskindacool]

I think people should just mind their business and just let people live their lives

[Anonymous]

I mean the main excuse is that they just don't give a fuck. That's a pretty legit excuse if you think about it.

[anylolone]

Yes, they don't want to. As long as they are ok with the consequences, who cares?

[Hotboy_booblover]

Some obese people are healthier than slim guys.. to each his own.

[Hangry06]

If it bothers you so much, go blind or something

Can't get past my hips usually

No point in putting lipstick on a pig
