Skinny people, I don't understand you?

[Anonymous]

Don't worry this is no hate, because I am a skinny person too. A while back I saw this couple (they were very fit.) tell this lady who was obese to her face that she needed to work out and lose weight. So she nodded her head and said okay, so I offered my help to this lady for a new diet plan and fitness routine. So fast forward and its been about 5 months and the lady has all together lost 67 lbs. And the couple return to laugh at her and tease her on her weight loss and put her down. Now I resolved this situation, but I do not understand how some fit people can tell someone to lose weight and then mock them for doing it?

I'm not sure how much of this story I believe. I know that skinny people do make fun of obese people and tell them to lose weight. I just find this particular story strange. So some couple told some lady to lose weight, and she just nods and says: "Okay" and that's it. She just accepts this from some random couple? She decides that she needs to change her lifestyle and her body because some random couple told her to? Then she decides to accept help from another person to lose that weight.

Usually a lot of the time obese people do get made fun of for their weight. So what was it about this couple that made her decide she should just lose weight?

I just don't believe the story in this post. It's too random.

I wad helping the lady prior to three weeks before this situation happened to lose the weight the people made fun of her then. I'm her best friend I just didn't want to put her name in there.

I never mocked anyone about their weight because I experienced it first hand and I watched as it ruined my self confidence so why should I do the same?

"Skinny people, I don't understand you?"
This is a very misleading question.
Actually, it's not ever a question, it's just a statement with a question mark at the end.

"I do not understand how some fit people can tell someone to lose weight and then mock them for doing it?" - It happens when two fitness zealots are also mean people.

The situation sucks, the two people suck but also "Skinny people, I don't understand you?" suck as the "title" for this question.

I want to kill those people. Tell a man their names and a man will do the rest.

I don't understand how it was your place or theirs to tell anyone anything about their body

[Sadie_G]

Because they probably have deeper insecurities that are shown/expressed when making fun of someone who is overweight

I this you are amazing for helping that women and I think the reason they where picking on her was because they where clearly jealous of her because they weren't make as much progress as here and they where upset.

I've never told anyone to lose weight or mocked them for doing so. The people who do have issues.

Because some people are self absorbed and just mean

Mean people come in all sizes.

This. Its not exclusive to skinny people, but they were simply assholes who did it in order to think they are above. And they kept bullying because her having the willpower to lose weight makes them scared they might not be above anytime soon anymore - so they put her down.

@FakeName123 Her accomplishment threatened their self-proclaimed supremacy and being mean is their defense mechanism. That is a plausible analysis of their behavior man; I like it. +1
