Because the people we see in the media are photoshopped, and it's impossible for a human to actually look like that, but we try to look like that anyway.
Some people want to lose weight for themselves - they weighed 120 in college, now they're 40 and want to go back to that weight.
Some people need to lose weight for their health - if they have diabetes, or their body fat percentage is too high. So don't judge them for needing to take care of their health.
At the same time, don't let anyone judge you for NOT losing weight. People have this weird idea that if you have fat on your body, it means you are overweight and unhealthy. This is NOT TRUE! It is totally healthy and normal to have some fat on you! That is why it is better to look at body fat percentage rather than looking at how much you weigh - that will tell you whether you are healthy or not. Sadly, not everyone realizes that, and some people lose a lot of weight and actually become UNhealthy because of the weight lose, when they were perfectly fine before.
I call it crack people because weight to most people is like crack "oh dear me, I ate a 300 calorie cake, I have to work that out 3 hours in the gym" plus the magazines and diet stories do not help. I know the fashion industry is run by gay men and nothing but gay men therefore gay men who look like little boys so designers decipit the fashion industry in the sense of gay men do what do self crazed obsessed women do kill themselves to look like little boys.
There really isn't anything you can do except try to help these people unfortunately, their psychological state is already ruined.
When a person looks good, they also feel good. As long as they're not losing weight in a matter that sacrifices their health, I say they should go for it. A huge reason I'm single is because most girls out there are overweight and won't do anything about it. Yet these same girls claim "looks don't matter" yet chase guys who are an 8+ in looks then go back claiming the person's superficial for not finding them attractive when it is what motivated them to talk to the guy in the first place.
If more women would get in shape and stop relying on makeup and clothing to hide their imperfections we'd have better couples out there.
If you've been overweight for your whole life you don't understand how good it feels to be thin and in shape. It's easier to move, you feel more comfortable in public, and you have a lot more confidence. And although it disgusts you to see thin people, most people find it attractive.

Personally, I'd never weigh 220. I'd be severely unhappy and probably suicidal. I lost weight, because it did not feel good. It really sucked being larger and I know I wasn't healthy. I went from 148lbs to 116 lbs, I'm very happy and I feel great. You can say they looked better before they lost weight but the reality of he situation is that people don't feel well when they are over weight. So how are you going to argue with that with the reason that they looked better, over their health? If you feel good great, not everyone is like that.
For some reason meat on your bones is a bad thing. Some men encourage women to be rail thin, rewarded for eating boring food and having no stomach. Nevermind the entire person attached. Smh... if 5'5 148 doesn't make him happy fuck em. Others can calorie restrict, skip meals, purge, obsess over their weight. I fucking refuse. I am a person and not a number! I'll probably end up alone, but who really wanta the company of shallow people?
Society, media and it being January. Also because of the numerous studies about how obesity causes many health problems and how it's costing the NHS billions each year. It's just not a healthy, desirable lifestyle being obese. I think everyone should try to get fitter!
Because thin is in. I would like to lose weight. 69 years ago some girl was trying to gain weight. This is the cycle and right now thin is in
Most people are overweight and a full 1/3 of americans are obese.
This has been true for so long that many people think overweight is normal and actual healthy weights look underweight to them.
I wanted to lose weight because I was fat when I was a child. Well, I lost it and now I just wanna keep it. Some people are just never satisfied with themselves, so...
Instead of using the word POUNDS , how about showing us some PICTURES?
Cos the same amount of weight can look VERY different on different body frames
It's their bodies. 116 pounds isn't that big of a deal unless they're tall. Why does it disgust you? I think "disgust" is a very strong word.
Because obesity is a huge problem right now, at least in North america. People desire to be fit and healthy.
Most people in weight loss commercials are overweight in my experience
I would think they'd want to be more healthy than just lose weight?
1.55m and 100kg is definitely too much... you should start dieting too.
Because they want to actually look right, you're probably just fat and live around fat people and don't even know what's normal weight.
Because its healthier to ne slimmer
Because they usually look better.
thank God, the world is obese
Lots of people are overweight nowadays
