Another one?! Wow...
I don't think it's right to bash anyone. It's not right to bash fit people OR fat people. It's unnecessary, uncalled for, and frankly - NONE OF PEOPLE'S BUSINESS. People should stop preaching and let people live their own lives. "That person isn't what *I* think (s)he should be, so they're worthy of hatred!" Blah blah, it's such drivel.
I've never made fun of anyone for their weight, never bashed people for the way they looked, etc. I was always the one being bashed. This "fat acceptance" that people mention on GAG is a fantasy, and quite laughable actually. Ask fat people if they feel accepted by society, I bet you'll get no more than one yes out of 100 people. Look how they're portrayed in the media, or on TV and in movies. Fat people are almost always the butt of every joke. And "Haha, that's hilarious to think s(he) could actually get that guy/girl!" Stuff like that, constantly. Constantly. And some people say, "Well, if you don't want to hear it, just lose the weight!" People should have to change the way they look to be treated respectfully? That's just stupid.
I used to be very fat. Daily, I'd hear things like, "You fat disgusting pig" or "You're a lazy slob" or "Go have a heart attack" or "Who would ever love a fat whale like you?" I wasn't even regarded as a human being. Not to mention men always thinking we c*ck-block them, so sometimes they try setting us up with someone "drunk enough to bang a fatty". Yes, it happens all the time. Humiliations galore. After living that, your heart really hardens. You develop a chip on your shoulder and you become emotional and irrational regarding weight issues/topics.
Skinny/fit people may get bashed by fat women, but fat people get bashed by EVERYONE. What your friends were saying wasn't even bad. Saying they needed to work out, what's wrong with saying that? Getting mad at your FRIENDS for them saying they need to work out seems harsh, and weird.
Some fat people feel uncomfortable around fit people because it points out their inadequacies, and they're jealous, I'm sure. And it's not right. Bashing isn't good, I agree. Completely. It's all hateful and stupid and should never happen. But... I don't think there was anything wrong with what your friends were saying. Try REALLY getting bashed (like most fat people get bashed), there's a big difference. So while you don't feel sorry for them, I don't feel sorry for you. You're beautiful and fit and you work to be that. Be proud and don't let fat people bother you so much :-)

I understand were you are coming from. I eat healthy and my friends look at me like I'm crazy for wanting to eat a salad. But they are happy and surprised when I eat a greasy pizza. I remember when I was overweight at one point. Instead of looking at fit and healthy women, I wouldn't get jealous, I looked at them as role models and now I'm healthy and exercise as much as I can. I used to eat fast food a lot but now I almost vomit eating anything from Burger King.
The reason they are mean to you is because they are jealous of your effort to stay fit and healthy. They know they are unhealthy but they don't have the willpower to do so or they think they don't have the willpower. It's really not as hard as they think it is. There is plenty of healthy foods that is just as delicious as that Big Mac.
If these "in shape women" have an elitist attitude due to being in shape, then these guys are simply responding to the vibes these "in shape women" give off to the masses.
Or it could be that the negative interactions are more memorable than the neutral or positive interactions.
I have met very nice and friendly women in good shape and I have met judgmental bitchy in shape women...I don't stereotype that way.
People are depressed and tied to jobs and family that don't allow them time to take care of themselves as they should. We should't blame them for being jealous of people who have that extra leisure time.l
But they really should try not to pass remarks to women who have made the effort to govern their diets and workout routines. . That doesn't help them any, and will make the in-shape women feel bad. Sometimes!

Girls get jealous. They complain because they want it but not bad enough. I work out but I can't be on a diet due to constant running and I need as many carbs as I can.
My friends do the same when they see me with muscle milk or they ask why I haven't drank soda is 8 years. I say "you only get one body, and I refuse to mess mine up"I think that I get were you are coming from, I had a friend that was overweight and she would give me mean looks if I looked really skinny in some clothes or if people commented on that. I spent many hours listening to her whine and then eat a big bag of fries on her own. I would have felt bad if she was actually doing something to lose weight but she ate everything she wanted in big portions.
I think the main reasons are jealousy and/or insecurity. There is no need to put anyone down but girls do it ALL the time to each other.
If girls get this way around me for whatever reason I just walk away (don't have time for that) or ignore them. Much better things to do than deal with petty comments and rude behavior.Why are some in shape women mean to us? Why do they tease and bully bigger girls in high school and then continue the snotty attitudes out of high school? You really don't want anyone to go there. At least not me.
You seem to have issues though. I couldn't care less what you eat or where you shop. But your attitude and character will speak volumes to me and inform my decision on the way I treat you. That goes for anyone.They feel insecure around girls with nice bodies. It's hard to keep in shape and even harder to lose it so they get angry and resentful. Everyone wants to look hot but not everyone wants to do the work it takes to look that way
Why do you think you deserve respect just because you're in shape? Your little rant here isn't exactly heart warming and inviting. Maybe they just don't like you...
It's because they got all big fat and unhappy. Thus, they take it out on you, jealousy.
jealousy and idiocy, unless they are working out and their bodies don't cooperate.
It's easier to hate someone else then yourself
Jealousy. They're jealous
