Do ppl really think that overweight ppl eat all day and sit on the couch?!
Question: Do ppl really think that overweight ppl eat all day and sit on the couch.?
If so, I wanted to dispell that myth.
I have 3 jobs, (one of which is teaching dance), i go to the gym, eat well most of the time and never really get to sit and do nothing.
I am overweight and I know some ppl who are big eat too much and do nothing but it pisses me off that ppl assume that all big ppl do that.Health Question & Answer

Stereotypes are fun, aren't they.? Studies have actually shown, time and again, that fat people and thin people eat about the same and exercise about the same amount. Those people who do eat constantly all day.? Have other issues, and deserve our sympathy and appropriate mental care. Or are possibly my brother, who is skinny and has a black hole for a stomach, because some people just have that kind of metabolism.Health Question & Answer
NO! I know that, b/c you're over weight, you may feel targeted, and that everyone thinks that way. But not many people think that way at all (not the people I know! But I guess I hang out with smart people! Lol jk). Anyway, when I see someone who is overweight (or maybe even obese) nothing at all really pops into mind, they are just another person on the street (or in the store) to me. No big deal, whatever. Unless it's ridiculously excessive, then I begin to wonder if maybe they have a problem (not an "eating" problem, a thyroid condition maybe.?) but that's it. No big deal, and I'm not saying I NEVER judge. B/c it's human nature to do so. But my aunt happens to be very overweigt and she is NOT lazy by any means. Maybe that's just your freakin body type! Who ever is ignorant enough to think that ALL overweight people choose to be in that situation... well they can f*ck off! :)Health Question & Answer
Just because someone is overweight doesn't mean they are a lazy slob who just sits on the couch eating all of the time. Some people will always be big no matter what they do. It just might be your metabolism or a glandular problem. See a doctor, there may or may not be something you can do about it.Health Question & Answer
u know u should dispell it for sure, my mom is overweight and she go to work everyday for 10 hours and she barely eats like i eat more than her and i am normal weight and i use to be really mean to hear i used to tell her the exact same thing like u only sit on that stupid couch and watch tv and get fat why u should tell me what to do!!!!!!! but i realize that is not her fault and is nether my problem. i think people that are overweight suffer from a slow metabolism or thyroids but is not cause they eat all day. well you can find some fat people that eat all day cause they have lost all they ego and don,t care about it any more. i understand it like this skinny people eat more that fat people cause their not fat and they got the will and self esteem to go out walk happy work out and show off but fat people eat less cause they are fat and wan,t to loose weight and are paranoid of gaining more. so is harder for fat people to go take walk or go to the gym cause they feel ashamed of their body they got low self esteem. i got 16 years living with a overweight person and sometimes fat people in our family don,t know how their overweight make us feel bad 2.Health Question & Answer
You're right, not all big people eat too much food, but I think most do. Most I have met cant control themselves. I've worked with people who complain all day about how they want to lose weight cuz girls dont like them, but the other half of the time they eat and eat and eat. Im skinny so I know how you feel because people assume that I DONT eat, when I eat more food than most people around me. People have different metabolismsHealth Question & Answer
i know exactly how you feel. i'm a bit overweight too and every time that i go out i feel like everyone's looking at me thinking omg she's so fat! it's an awful feeling. i don't feel beautiful, and i know it's wrong because of what people have made the world today...it does suck that some people think that way, but what it is really is just sad. there will always be people like that but that's ok because you know you, they don't :)Health Question & Answer
a lot of people think that and it simply isn't true. check out www.usedtobe803.com .. sometimes obesity is from disease, too. people are ignorant and always will be. plus, they like to throw a "twinkie" joke in when they can, because guess what.? fat people are easy targets, and somehow, it makes them feel better about themselves. pathetic really. good luck at being Healthy, because that is all that really matters :)Health Question & Answer
