Why don't some overweight people Seem to care about their body at all?

[Anonymous]

I know people who are overweight and just don't care and I just can't understand why. To me it seems like a self defense mechanism. Like for instance I saw a Facebook meme going "yeah I'm into fitness. Fitness this burger in my house." In a way it's a funny meme. But in other ways it kind of disgusts me. I'm not judging anyone. I'm just not understanding why they think that way. I'm not talking about people who are like 300 pounds but people who are clearly overweight with a gut and out of shape. I know a friend who when i mentioned that eating healthy and dieting can be difficult, he said "i know. That's why I don't do it." I just don't understand. Do people really lack that much discipline? To me it seems like a defense mechanism. "If I tell people i don't care then they can't give me crap for it."

Fit and healthy people do things that are bad for them. Lots and lots of people do things that are bad for them it's just you're choosing to focus on food and obesity. It makes me wonder why you choose to let in annoy and perplex you. Why aren't you asking about people driving or smoking? We know both of these things are extremely bad for us.

Cause life is too short. Why care about what others think about you. If they judge you for some superficial thing like weight fuck them. If they don't want to be healthy it's their choice and nobody should be judged for it. Let them die young, it's not your problem.

Why do you care so much? It doesn't affect your life. Let them eat cake and you can work out

It doesn't affect my life, I know. I just don't undersrand why when they know they're overweight and shove that burger in their mouth, they think yeah this is great.

Don't spend your energy on trying to understand other people and their motives. We are all different and like different things. They do what they want and you can't change that.

It's just a sad fact, and becoming more common. The average adult is within about 10 lbs of being obese.

The World Health Organization claims the a waist/hip ratio above 80% for women and 90% for men qualifies as abdominally obese. To ignore it will increase health risks.

[Tractorbeam]

Obesity seem to be more of a problem for Christian people who regularly attend church. They are somewhere between 50% and 100% more likely to become obese.
Do a google search ; religion obesity.

Honestly, I'd be concerned if I was over 180 lbs. Mostly due to the increased health risks involving your cardiovascular system. It's messy.

Do you some how think that "them not caring about their bodies" is worse then you being rude, intrusive and judgmental? In that case I think you don't care about your personality.

[HyperOrphic]

Because it's their body and none of your concern if they love themselves or not?

[AleDeEurope]

Because they've realized eating is more fun than working out.

its usually a psychological cause/reason. Sometimes trauma.

At the end of the day, they still have the capability to stop, if not then, that's their business.

I'm slightly overweigt, but it doesn't get in the way of my every day life, so I don't see why I need to be bothered about it.

[Anonymous]

Yeah I see it as self defence too. I don't see how they don't realise how unhealthy that is :/
