Have ladies stopped caring, or has society made obesity acceptable? What is going on?

[GlowUpGirly5]

Both

Women have just let themselves go, especially western women

Society coddles

Option not listed

It's a societal issue you see it all over the world more in some places and less in others.

What needs to happen is bring back health and beauty standards and get rid of the lazy entitled victim blaming attitude a lot of these women have. And for people in general to educate themselves about what does and does not cause obesity because what I hear a lot is I'm big boned or I have a health condition. And society just coddles them.

I was a PT so I have the knowledge and know better then to fall for these girls lies.

I mean when I was a PT I was genuinely honest with my potential clients if I had a person come in and they were obese I'd be like I'm gonna break it down for you, a change needs to be made if you don't make an effort to get your weight under control and get healthy your either gonna die it might not be today or tomorrow might be 12 years from now but your weight will kill you or you'll live a life riddled with health and medical issues.

I wouldn't always lay it on that thick but I'd always tell them that basically they needed to make a change or life was going to get a lot harder then it needed to be.

[Phoenix98]

Thanks.

I'd say it's the result of many factors?

Societal and psychological level:

• Era of Consumerism
• Food-processing industry advertises all the time
• Unhealthy food is cheaper
• Social tolerance for obesity has increased (and decreased, as a backfire)
• Sweet/Salty/Fat Food is pleasurable, pleasure counters (temporarily) anxiety
• Lack of interest from gov to regulate food industry (free market policies)
• Lack of interest from gov for public health (since medical care is private sector)
• Rise of Office jobs
• Reliance on cars
• Sedentary lifestyle

[midnightmoon05]

Lack of self control?

[GlowUpGirly5]

@midnightmoon05!!!

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Well, lack of self-control relates to anxiety countering. Pleasure felt with food kills the self-control if anxiety is stinging.

I could even think that lack of self-control is of psychosocial origin, as it relates to consumerism, which relates to abundance and releasing control to... Consume more since it is the modern mantra

[midnightmoon05]

Awesome analyzing…
the deep cause?

[midnightmoon05]

And solution or treatments?
Aside from drugs….

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Deep causes? Well, as with anything, to me it's multifaceted, back to my initial item list of answers lol. It looks like there are too many roots to consider, interacting with each other. That also means that "treatment" cannot be simple, it implies societal changes, political changes, psychological changes, altogether?

[Apple1996]

There's nothing wrong with being heavy. I was recently on a online group with women discussing how we could be more disgusting/anti male gaze so men no longer look at us. Being heavy wasn't one of those ways because so many dudes love bigger women. a lot will even date skinny women then cheat with bigger women so it is seen as attractive by men even if they're saying otherwise

[GlowUpGirly5]

There is something wrong with being a fat woman. That's not even healthy, hygienic nor attractive. The only men okay with obese women are usually low value/low quality men aka men who are low income to no income and uneducated. I've never seen a man of high class , status or value with an obese woman. @Apple1996 look at who these millionaire and billionaires of the world are with its definetly not these whales.

[Apple1996]

Lol not hygienic? Fat girls can still shower. And those rich men go pay to be with fat prostitutes 😆

[GlowUpGirly5]

@Apple1996 rich men do not pay for fat prostitutes. Stormy Daniel's isn't fat, Heidi fleiss is not fat, and Ashley Dupre is not fat. A man can find a fat woman for free fat. Women are just that easy and desperate.

[GlowUpGirly5]

@Apple1996 yes a lot of fat women smell bad.

[Apple1996]

They really do pay for fat prostitutes. Men don't like fucking a bag of bones. They date and marry skinny women so no one makes fun of them

[GlowUpGirly5]

They don't pay for fat prostitutes lol 😆 @Apple1996 . Any of the paid prostitutes that have come forward have always been skinny. Even IF they were bought which they aren't this just goes to show fat women aren't acceptable, seen as beautiful nor respected especially if a man refuses to be seen with them. But the reality is men aren't paying for whales. Sorry ro burst your bubble @Apple1996

[GlowUpGirly5]

So that's nothing to be glorified. Fat woman are not a valuable asset to society

[Apple1996]

You can think whatever you want but I know this to be true lol. Guys will buy prostitutes. Strippers. Cheat with whatever women that are the complete opposite of who they date. It's common knowledge at this point.

[GlowUpGirly5]

@Apple1996 I don't think.. I know lol. And why would you want to be a fat prostitute? 🤣 that further proves my point of fat women being seen as low and undesirable by society. Low value. But we all know no rich men are marrying nor purchasing fat women. Only men that deal with fat women are unemployed low income men because they use fat woman for a place to live. Rich men and high value men are marrying skinny women. And if they do purchasing a woman they're skinny not that prostitution is even admirable

[Apple1996]

They will also cheat with fat women. It's not necessarily about prostitutes that's just a example. It's definitely a thing that men search for a variety of women. If they have a certain type at home they'll search out the opposite. Rich men just tend to be with skinny women cuz it's looked down upon if they're not

[GlowUpGirly5]

@Apple1996 girl give it up lol no one likes fat women.

[Apple1996]

Haha sure 😆

[midnightmoon05]

I was x-small. Small. Now a medium… from 18-30 … maintaining a medium over 20 years. 3 sizes over 20 yrs… and 2 kids (kids have nothing to do with weigh gain.

It’s beyond me to see humans turned so disgusting! I don’t get it. How?

[GlowUpGirly5]

Yeah I over ate once and felt like shit. I'll never do that again

[midnightmoon05]

I like being a size small… so I stoped eating carbs around age 40… I don’t eat junk food../ if anything just one cookie…
Seriously… how?
Mental issue?
What?

[GlowUpGirly5]

Carbs aren't bad

[midnightmoon05]

Yes! I “cheat” from time to time.
I like some really good bread, desserts sometimes.

[Shiprex]

I think women are afraid to give and accept criticism about their bodies and health habits from each other. Men wouldn't dare to say anything mostly unless they were either blood related or are very careful with the language they used.
A you go girl attitude and be who you want to be doesn't help and tends to let people avoid accountability.

[SleepingHazard]

If your options are healthy and expensive or unhealthy and cheap, and you live in poor economy with little options, the decision isn't that difficult. Yes, we have started caring less, but also, it's been made much more difficult over the past decades.

[GlowUpGirly5]

But how do you eat yourself to this? This is insane? Being fat is more expensive because you have to keep buying food, have clothes custom made to fit a big body, then the big sizes cost more at stores. Then you have more health problems so medical bills are high. It's expensive to be fat

[SleepingHazard]

Agree on your points. I think people (both men and women) lose control at some point and consider unhealthy foods as their only resource. Like smoking, drugs & alcohol, they cost a lot of money, and still even homeless people are able to provide themselves with that, as they make sure to invest the little they have in what they're addicted to. Unhealthy food contains a lot of sugar, and is just as/ if not more addictive. You can drink yourself into obesity with cans of soda and those are a couple cents. People seem to forget that. Although it obviously isn't only about food, but lack of exercise just as well.
As for clothes and health care, I fear they even neglect that, as any form of self-care is too much for them.

[GlowUpGirly5]

I over ate one time it made my stomach hurt so bad. I'll never do that again lol. So I don't know how they can consume all that food.

[SleepingHazard]

Same, but as with any addiction, I never understand how people could do it.
Drinking is gross in my opinion. Smoking is disgusting. Drugs are another level of unimaginable.
In a sense, I think something like sugar (as that is what it most often is) is often dismissed and neglected as an addictive substance.
It's also more difficult for others to comment on someone's eating habits as it is on any other addiction.

[GlowUpGirly5]

Yeah I'm not a drinker either tried it once it's disgusting and burned my throat

[joehypo1]

Its the men as well the just dont give a fuck I don't bye that is a disease our food over here in the us is either posion with chems or plain out right bad for you I use to love apple and they are toxic as hell unless you grow them yourself people are not active getting up to go to the fridge is not excersise and people literaly think it is

[SixFootSexy]

No one can buy a house anymore, no one can afford rent anymore. We just spent two decades fighting wars that did nothing but scar our men and line war profiteer pockets, and everyone is eating poisonous food that keeps getting more expensive. And when it inevitably makes them sick and obese, then they can’t afford to be made well again.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Big is beautiful & nowadays some chicks are choosing fries before guys.

[hello4433]

Most women these days don't care about their health. As per the new research scientist have now names obesity as a disease. So it's something that should be taken seriously no matter what the gender is

[hello4433]

named*

[exitseven]

I hardely ever see girls or guys either for that matter at the beach that are not obese or out of shape.

[LiamJHayden]

Some care, some care way too much, some don't care at all, some glorify it.

[GlowUpGirly5]

🤣🤣 glorify it they do but I blame men

[Jay-_-]

@GlowUpGirly5 how can you blame men when it's women gassing everything up. 😂

[LiamS95]

Funny thing is they seem to just call this "thick" today.

[GlowUpGirly5]

And we all know who calls this "thick". I feel like thick is a mask for. fat

[AviatorTom]

Body positive has destroyed society.
