Fat People

I don't mind all overweight people - truly! I understand that some overweight people are the way they are because of illnesses, or hereditary disorders that are just beyond their control.

And I don't mind the overweight mothers - the ones running around taking care of multiple kids, working a job, being in charge of family and the household duties. If they are overweight, it may be because of having carried and given birth to multiple children, and then being much too busy to take care of themselves (bad thing for them in the long run, but nothing I should hold against them). Besides, bearing children and looking after them is no small joke. I have seen how difficult it can be for some people.

But what I do mind are the overweight single people, especially women. I cannot explain why I feel more disdain for the women than the men, but I just do. Sadly, men can get away with a lot, and being overweight happens to be one of them. A woman would overlook the excess fat a man carries, if he has other positive attributes, such as status, personality, loyalty and money. However, an overweight woman with all the same positive attributes cannot expect a man to overlook her physical apperance (there may be exceptions to this rule, for instance, filthy rich woman like Oprah), but in general, men would not accept an overweight woman. They'd rather have a good looking woman than an overweight one. That's an ugly truth. It is no surprise then that it is more common to see an overweight woman with an overweight man than with a stud.

If a young woman is healthy, but overweight, I cannot help but wonder if she is the way she is because she is just lazy and overeats. When an overweight woman tells me that she enjoys eating bacon, or pork, my mind just goes: yeah, that's why you're so such a fatty pork; how about trying a salad?

Now I hate feeling the way I do about overweight people. It is wrong, it is discriminating, it is condescending. Today, fat people are simply big and beautiful, or full-figured. Fair enough, but it does not stop one from thinking what one thinks.

Sometimes, I an afraid that God will strike me down and make me obese for thinking the way I do. But I cannot help my inner voice, can I? And surely, it is not right to overeat - what was that God said about gluttony, and moderation in all that one does?

Thankfully, there are such things as anonymous blogs where I can call a spade, a spade, and a fat person, a fat person.

Just go exercise, dammit!
