I don't think it makes much sense to shame one's appearance.

Agreed, you can't really help your weight. I'm not exactly "large", but I definitely feel it after past experiences.

#3 wdym you can’t help your weight?

I probably could have worded that a bit better. I just meant that it's hard to drop weight at a steady pace that feels good. I think it took me two or three weeks to drop just ten pounds before, and it came back like a boomerang. maybe im just doing everything wrong

#5 It definitely is hard to lose weight, but not impossible in most circumstances.

I feel like there are a lot of better things to be worry about that aren’t your weight. But due to social standards and criticism, people feel insecure about it.

#7 I agree, as long as the weight isn’t affecting your health.

I think it's ok to be large but I don't like hearing "there's nothing I can do" cuz anyone can lose weight it just takes commitment

i am not exactly "large",but fam relatives,my so called "friends" and other ppl still say rlly bad things

personally, i would say it’s unhealthy to be overweight and you should actively make an effort to lose it and stay fit whether that be in the gym or even just going outside for a walk daily

I have the opposite criticism. I am super skinny and my friends and family always point that out or make jokes. I eat as much as possible sometimes even home lunch and school lunch, yet I was always skinny, primarily because of the fact that I was doing competitive swimming. I quit competitive swimming and started working out and doing karate to decrease the amount of calories I spend and to look better. I eat like oats and chicken almost everyday with some extra food my mom gives to stay healthy. I think I'm doing better now because I'm 140 and more stronger but I'm tall l, almost 6 foot and I used to be underweight, so I could be better, but I have the confidence to walk outside and be good looking instead of being seen as a tall and skinny stick.

Unless you're clinically obese, it's dumb. Otherwise you're supposed to remind them until they do something about it.
