IS it really bad to be fat?

[fatboy42]

I've been fat since i could remember. All i want to do is eat. Is there really a point in dieting and exercising if i have accepted the fact that i will always be fat? Even if i stay like this, will girls still find me attractive? Be Honest!

Well, it's not good to be fat. Having excess adipose tissue alone means that you have a higher risk of developing debilitating disease and while you may be "healthy" now, there's no saying whether you might fall victim to disease in the future. In order to ensure that you live a long and healthy life, you have to be at a healthy weight for your height, you have to eat healthy foods, and you have to be fit. There's no reason to accept your obesity as fact, but you can look at it as a transient state of being. You can accept and love yourself, but being overweight doesn't have to be an unchanging part of who you are. I tend to look at self-love as more of a verb rather than a feeling. Love yourself enough to feed yourself food that will fight disease instead of feed it. Love yourself enough to give it the exercise it needs in order to thrive.
Weight loss doesn't have to be hard. It can be extremely simple, and for me, a whole foods, plant based diet is what got me there. You don't have to limit your portions or your calories, you can eat until you're satisfied, and seriously, nothing is easier. Just add more and more servings of fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, oats, and grains into your diet gradually. Pay attention to which meals make you feel good about yourself, which meals keep you energized and in a good mood. Pay attention to the meals that fuel self-hatred, drain your energy, and add to your unhappiness. Once you start really paying attention to how these foods make you feel, it becomes easier and easier to make the right decision.

Depends how fat you are. Like obese people are sorta out of the question for me, but if you got just a belly to worry about i dont mind at all. Its different for everyone though ofc. The only reason you'll always be fat is because you keep telling yourself that, and you dont try to lose weight. If you can help working out and actually losing the weight then do that! For some people its almost impossible to lose weight no matter what they do. Regardless of that, not many girls will go for overweight people. It makes you look unhealthy, and that's' what makes it unattractive. Also dont settle for a girl who only wants you because she thinks you'd be lucky to have her.

I remember my teacher used to be fat, but kinda like healthy fat, you know without double chins or so. He looked like one of the teletubbies, and guess what, his wife wasn't fat. He had just married and she was skinny. But in Norway teachers make good, and he made above average. So yeah, how fat exactly?

I think it is. I was fat for years and after I lost weight things got really better. I feel better, I don't get tired easily, I started having a higher self image and even my interactions with girls got better. I only got benefits after I lost weight and today I'm even more sure that being fat sucks.

Usually fat people are unhealthy, if you can help it you should be as healthy as possible. And to be frank, most girls don't find fat men attractive just as most men don't find fat women attractive. It's just not endearing or sexy. I'd say talk to a doctor and or a dietitian about your health and weight, they could help you find a good diet and exercise plan to help you get healthy. Chicks dig that by the way, showing that you are motivated and are actively trying to get into shape.

Don't accept something that makes you objectively less healthy and less attractive. You have the power to change. I used to be chubby between 12 and 17. Now I am a size 2.

Fat is not a permanent condition, in most cases, at least. It comes down to choices. So if you wanna die a 50 year old virgin, then choose to stay fat. But if you want to take control, self actualize and be happier, healthier, and more fulfilled.. quit making excuses and step up.

Yes it's bad to be fat. It's not only just that it's unattractive... But it's unhealthy for you.

I eat all the time and think about it all the time too. It's about balance. Just because you are fit doesn't mean you don't eat, it means you just know the right foods to eat. Talk to a dietician

Say you've had a standard definition TV your whole life.
I mean it's perfectly fine, you get most channels, the color is there, the image is easy to spot

But

There is also HD TV, with extra channels, where each image is crisp and the color radiate out of the TV, you have access to exclusive channels

That's about as good of an analogy I can come up with

[AdamThomas]

Most girls don't find fat guys attractive.

Of course there's a point to improving your diet and exercising. You'll look better, feel better, and you'll be a lot healthier. Wanting to eat and not exercise is just laziness. Don't accept being fat.

[RJGraveyTrain]

It isn't necessarily good for your health, but if you are content with yourself then honestly it's fine. It's your life.

[BellePepper]

It sounds like something you should be talking about with your doctor if you're always wanting to eat.

[Azgeda]

"All I want to do is eat".
You know... the first step to fixing a problem is recognizing there is one.

[Decentguy]

yes its bad to be fat sometimes, specially if all you do is wanna eat. and i dont think girls will find you attractive

[ConsultantIsBack]

Of course. It's really bad, pull yourself together man and take control of your life.

[Anonymous]

No they won't. If you want to be considered attractive you'd have to lose weight

[fatboy42]

[Opinion Owner]

Yes really. People will be nice to you about it but no girl wants a fat guy.

[fatboy42]

[Opinion Owner]

[NerdInDenial]

It depends on what type of girl you like

[Twolips]
