Why do people think being fat is a handicapped? |
I was on a hockey and a swimming team all throughout high school. I love to roller blade , do tricks on the ramps. I love to go rock climbing, jogging, and I ride my bike daily. I after college, on my office job, I gained a lot of weight. I was fat, but I still swam, jogged, did extreme rollerblading, but I ate more. I noticed what assholes can people be. I couldn't tell people I had just swam 3km the day before because everyone would gasp, think I was joking, or call me a liar. I would meet someone who liked to rock climb, and ask him to go rock climbing with me, and he would simply smirk at me. I would run a local 10k run, and win, and have everyone laugh in disbelief the next day. I had to go with my medal and newspaper, and even then someone would say it was a fake medal. I stopped eating so much, and since I do a lot of sports I lost all the weight in less than 2 months. But I learned people are stupid, just 'coz someone is overweight, it doesn't mean they are somehow handicapped. It's just a common belief, carrying extra weight puts an added strain on your body and of course there are many obese/fat people who do little exercise and eat all the wrong foods all the time. The stereotype is a fat person taking no exercise and eating fatty/junk food all day washed down with gallons of soda. The fact that some may be large boned, have an illness or do lots of physical activity just doesn't enter their minds. Until the majority of people understand that you can be large and still be active or that some people have medical imbalances a fat person will always be seen as a slob, a glutton & one incapable of being active due to their size what is your problem? You want worldly recognition or you worried abour being overweight? give us your height, build and sex and maybe we can dertermin you are really just a skinny. I think you should save this for the Oprah Show. Do you want the world to give a crap that you can run a 100 miles? You're right. My wife is overweight, and she can do all types of sports. She can run, swim, etc. just like you. People are stupid. People can be stupid to other people. There is no excuse for it. We are all brothers and sisters. being fat is not a handicapped... it is entirely one's fault... harsh? yes... am i trying to insult somebody? no... if you truly care about your body and your life (which you should) then you really should stop eating so much and start eating healthy... look at the statistics of americans becomming obese... would you like to fall in that categorie? i dont... i want to be even more ripped and in shape just because of that. Usually being fat is a result of people over eating , not taking care of their body and not exercising. I have been there i have been on the fat side and i know what you are talking about . I do not know how it feels for others but i do think that when i was fat i was handicapped...it was a handicap on a mental level ( i was not as happy as i am now , i had to 'defend' my fat and i was not as pleased with myself) Truth is...fat is a handicap but luckily in most cases something can be done about it:) lifecoach@voxconsulo.com www.voxconsulo.com |
