Ok here goes some empathy.

drat, Im really fat, so this is what this is like. Im gonna exercise and have a proper diet that's not a fiscally irresponsible overconsumption of easy-to-make processed foods. Im glad I did this instead of saying people on the internet are wrong.

Did I do empathy right. I think I put their shoe on my foot.

Wrong. It's a health problem and should be taken seriously. Although not a moral failing, it's the result of neglect, denial, and deep seeded emotional issues. It also drastically affects a person's appearance and ability to interact with the world around them. Fat acceptance is nonsense and enables their denial. But shaming and verbal abuse isn't the way either. They are addicts addicted to food and need intervention, understanding, and patience. Only a doctor is truly qualified to accurately determine someone's health. But someone who is too huge to run a mile without stopping is an alarming indicator as well.

Go to the gym and lift. You don't need to restrict what you eat, just stay away from sweets and stick with wholesome nutritious food.

IMO Exercise should be a daily routine like taking a shower or brushing your teeth.

Thing is , you can understand that what somebody is doing to themselves is harmful and still empathize with their struggle. Whether they are eating garbage food and gaining weight, chain smoking, heroin addiction, terrible money habits and so on they are doing something bad and need to change.

My brother used to smoke, and everybody gave him poo poo about it, except me. Now I wanted him to quit just as bad as everyone else but I wasn't about to be condescending about it. I never got addicted to tobacco and didn't know what it was like, so I'm not going to be all "Just put the cigarette down" and be all :smug:

that I'm not so weak willed that I have to suck on tobacco smoke just to get through the day. It turned out having someone that supported and empathized with him had a much bigger impact than all the finger wagging ever could. He's been cigarette free for over a year. He might go back to smoking again someday, but i wouldn't want him to beat himself up over it. Nobody can force him to change, he needs to choose to. It turns out treating him like an actual human being instead of a retarded failure had a much bigger impact.

A person that is fat for a long time has given up on the idea of changing. Getting mocked and belittled just reinforces the idea that they feel helpless to do anything about it. Poverty, lovely health care and mental health services compound the problem further.

If you really want people to stop being fat, start treating them as actual human beings and not easy targets of scorn.

Considering 70% of Americans are overweight, I highly doubt that it's the 30%'s treatment of them that they're unhealthy.

A profound need to rationalize your own poor financial economic and educational decisions by finding a convenient scapegoat probably. But it's ok, I can empathize with people insecure to the point of being poo poo posters.

Of course not; a considerable portion of overweight people are going to rationalize their actions by mocking people fatter than them. Like a lot of people in this thread.

It follows a funny pattern- gay bashers are often secretly gay themselves for example. It makes perfect sense many fat bashers in this thread have a generous helping of self loathing.

Well I used to be a fat, then I decided to stop eating so much, no I am not a fat. I now use a hatred of fats as motivation to keep me from returning to being a fat.

I think like farts, someone being big and fat is inherently funny. gently caress people that won't allow you to laugh at fat people or fat jokes. I draw the line when it becomes directed at someone and becomes verbal abuse.
