Why do people care that I'm obese?

Question

I don't care if I'm fat and i don't care about my health, infact I hope I get a heart attack. Why does society cares if a fat girl? It's not my fault my mother doesn't cook, and we have fast food 3-5 times a week. It's my big beautful body not society. I really hope that I have heart attack to this god afull place. Sometime I think society is nothing but a hypocritical little b*tch. And I really hate people. I'm big, so what. I'm 16 and weight 266 lbs. Why humbug me for that simple little fact?

Answer 1

Ew.. How could you even let yourself get to that size? I'm 160lb and I'm pregnant and I feel fat and horrible..

Answer 2

idon;t care about how much you weigh but i do think that you should try to eat a little more healthy not to try to lose wheight but for health reasons

Answer 3

Because the whole world follows eachothers example and obesity is becoming more of a problem.

Answer 4

probably because today people are all about skinny.

and hun its not good for you

Answer 5

They care about you!

Answer 6

because being that big is unhealthy and most people probably care because they look at you and wonder how on earth you let yourself get so big. they would feel disgusting being that size themselves and therefor think you are gross for letting it happen. if you dont care about your health, your weight and your looks you are set up for one miserable life and i cant imagine what type of mother you would be.

Answer 7

I personally care that you are "fat" not because of your weight but because you sound miserable!  I too have struggled with my weight and I want you to know you can be happy at any size but when you feed your body c**p you often feel like c**p.  Makes sense, doesn't it.  When you are underage it is your parent's responsibility to do whatever they can to help you be healthy, and lots of fast food is not usually very healthy.  However, there are healthy choices (salads, snack wraps, apples, etc.) at most fast food places.   It sounds like you may need to take responsibility for your own health.  You mentioned wishing that you have a heart attack,  It sounds like you may be depressed, which is a REAL illness,  please talk to someone about this.  It's hard enough to be a teenager, it's awful to be a teenager with depression.

Answer 8

because you are disgusting and you make everyone sick.

Answer 9

Because they don't want you to be a burden on the nation's already overtaxed medical system.  Obese people are more likely to get sick and diseased, thus causing insurance payers to raise the premiums for all. Healthy people that manage their weight sensibly are then forced to help subsidize your misfortune.  It truly disgusts me.

Thank you and good day.

Answer 10

If you really didn't care, then you wouldn't want to have a heart attack.

*edit* Yeah, you sound really happy wishing you were dead....

Answer 11

I don't care. I can't speak for all of society, but hey, if you want a heart attack go on with your life and continue eating unhealthy. I won't humbug you (LOL!).

Answer 12

Dude I weigh 350 something pounds and I totally get you.

It sucks, but just ignore people. I mean, it's good to care about yourself, regardless of what others think.

Answer 13

I bet there are people that don't want you to have a heart attack and its a horrible thing for you to say about yourself. Being healthy isn't necessarily being skinny. People mock those who don't look like or are different in other ways. You don't need to exercise, but it wouldn't hurt. Not to lose weight, to get healthier. You can start making meals for yourself and instead of going to your local McDonalds you could go grocery shopping. You're suppose to love yourself and it depends on your self esteem if you care what people think or not. But saying you don't care if you live or not is no way to tell people that their opinions don't matter to you.

Answer 14

the only person that can judge u is u and nobody else....dnt eva care wat ppl say there opinion dnt really matter its wat u think..... but if u keep eatin fast food all the time u on the fast track to endin up 6 feet under and as much as u say u want a heart attack i dnt think u want to die.... ur old enuf to talk like that u should be old enuf to figure out how to cook... stop feelin sorry for urself and get up and do something abt it...

Answer 15

It may not be your fault your mom doesn't cook, but what's stopping you from experiencing cooking wonderful food?  

People love and care about you.  You say you want to die, but have you thought about the h**l you'll be putting your family through?  

I'm 6'1 and weighed just a little more than what you weigh.  I should be around 200 lbs.  Anyway, I have lost a couple sizes in clothing, and have a LOT more energy now.  I'm 35, feeling this way.  Imagine how much better you'll feel, being you are 16.  I still have some more to go, but not a whole lot.

I think if you lose the weight, you'll have a better outlook on life.  Start eating salads at fast food places.  Arby's sandwiches are good.  Skip the fries and pops.  Drink plain water.  The flavored water will cause you to retain salt, thus making it harder to lose the weight.  But the best two things of all to do is for you to start cooking healthy meals at home and exercise daily.

Answer 16

It's fine if you're happy like that, but what people understand is that it's not HEALTHY. I'm not skinny, either. I don't have a flat tummy at all, but I'm not obese. It's just not healthy.

Answer 17

I don't know you but I am guessing that somewhere inside, you DO care - or else you wouldn't bother posting this. Especially comments like "society is nothing but a hypocritical little b*tch".

Yes, people can be rude, and they shouldn't be. You may say you hope to have a heart attack, but that is probably your anger talking at the rude people of this world.

I would just advise that you talk to someone professional about this. (It doesn't mean you're crazy...many perfectly normal people need that sort of help now and then in life, trust me). The tone of your "question" obviously implies that you have stuff going on. It isn't as simple as you are making it out to be.

You could also try making an appointment with a nutritionist. It sounds like torture but it could really help in the long run. They are trained to help people in your situation - in a healthy way. You have your whole life ahead of you. Finishing school, college, a career of your choice, finding love, starting a family...don't underestimate how amazing those things will be. Even if you remain overweight - possible health issues aside - you can still find happiness. Adults, while still not perfect, are much less rude than kids and especially teenagers.

Answer 18

does it bother you that you're overweight, though?

you've got the right idea, but maybe the reason why you're so bothered by people nagging you about it is because deep down, you're uncomfortable about it and you just put on a charade for other people to see.

if you're really concerned, maybe you could teach yourself to cook and find a way to prove those people wrong, and prove yourself wrong!

Answer 19

It's not that I don't like your size or the way you look, I feel bad that you can't do the things that other 16 year olds can. I think I'm fat 5'6 and 134 pounds, but I can't imagine how you feel. Saying that you're  happy and then saying that you don't care if you die are totally contradicting. If your mom doesn't cook, start to learn yourself. That's what I have to do because my mom works constantly.

I hope you can loose some weight and feel better about yourself!
