okay but a lot of people can't lose weight due to a condition or disease, and they could eat the healthiest goddamn stuff on the planet and still remain overweight
Well if that disease or condition has properly been diagnosed ok but a lot of morbidly obese people just think they can't lose the weight or don't see progress right away so they quit, you can eat healthy all you want but that's not all it takes, it takes exercise too. This post is shitty though for the fact that that the first girl has no business judging what the big girl is wearing
I whipped up a strict diet (based off the one recommended by my doctor) and a five-day-a week exercise routine once. Stuck to it (actually, kept adjusting to try to increase training/weight loss) for two and a half years until my job changed and I had to add an hour per direction to my commute. ....... I lost ten pounds.

And for some reason everyone wants to believe that their obesity is completely justifiable in every way shape or form

There are only a few things that you can have that make you not able to lose weight. For example, my husband is going through stage 5 renal (kidney for those who dont know) failure which has caused him to put on a lot of weight due to high water retention and because its also given him severe anemia he can't exercise (he tried A LOT to reduce the weight but to no avail). But he's going to try get fit after his transplant operation, so there's that.
Secondary point: even assuming that obesity is not due to a medical condition and is preventable/modifiable: girl B's weight and clothing is precisely none of girl A's business. Unless you're specifically inviting the response, nobody, even out in public, "owes" other people a specific aesthetic standard.
I'm not sure why @fruitcakecat got a lot of up votes because he/she spouted out utter bullshit. The majority of people on earth can lose weight. It might not be easy, but it's possible.
i love he response in the end, but i feel like it wasn't fair to be pissed/mad if she hadn't been so impolite at the beginning.... she was kinda asking for it in my opinion.
If you're not close to that person it's going to come off rude and disrespectful, and all in all not your place. To each their own you have your opinion I have mine, doesn't mean I'm right or your right ya know? With this kind of situation for me it falls under "if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all."
Except the bigger girl actually looks great and the smaller girl really can't make those assumptions when she literally knows nothing about the bigger girl.
Anyways, what would she wear otherwise? If she decided to lose weight, it's still going to take a long time. She's not going to be naked that whole time.
But are you making the assumption that she does? It goes both ways but I cleared mine up by saying if it's friends ok but random strangers I don't think it's their place to worry about what someone else is wearing
When it comes down to it this is a drawing but what I am talking about is there are women with thick thighs and a big butt but their stomach is small or flat body size doesn't always measure healthiness. BMI does but not necessarily body size
How does what she has for clothes have anything to do with her health?

I can't believe I'm having to explain this BUT......... because she's a very large size (I'd say morbidly obese) which usually implies she's unhealthy and eats too much shit and doesn't exercise (although this isn't always the case due to certain illnesses such as renal failure which can cause the body to retain a lot of water weight) and being that size means that they cannot pull off certain types of clothing or styles as it can accentuate their size (some women who are that size still dress like that anyway because they are either comfortable with themselves and confident or they just don't give a fuck)
I personally think you should dress for the body you HAVE, not the body you WANT.
That, and even if she is unhealthily fat - it's still none of the other girl's business. Coming up to someone and telling them they need to cover up because they're fat and you don't consider them attractive is rude whether other people agree with you or not.

Dress for the body you have not the one you want...... I'm all for not hatin yourself, but I'm also for decency and health so you know if you got rolls, put it away or run it away.
I never quite got that saying. So fat people should cover up and fit or skinny people show wear as little as possible or is it if you're fat don't wear clothes that look like they'll rip open with one wrong move?
Just as a fat person can wear what they want they don't have to cover up I'm just nitpicking on the flaw of the dress for the body you have not the body you want. I'm gonna step down on this though because I don't want to be fighting with other users on trivial stuff. I apologize if I may have come off rude to either of you I still respect your right to your opinions
I don't wear revealing clothing in general because that's not my vibe. But if somebody else wants to wear a bodycon out and about and I don't like the way they look? That's none of my or your goodamn business. If you don't like looking at them? Novel concept: look away.

Take your advice Abel and look away
Most people won't get that too, so you're setting yourself up for heartbreak if you think otherwise

That too, it ain't pretty no matter how much they try and justify it
You're all retards for getting up in arms about this inconsequential shit. Do something better with your lives. Fucking hell.

It's a difficult topic because there are two sides to the coin.
On one hand, you want people to be happy in the body they're in and to accept and love themselves for who they are. Whether you're curvy, chubby, skinny, athletic. Whatever whatever. You feel like you should encourage people to love themselves.
On the other hand, being too skinny isn't healthy. Eating too many takeaways and being too large isn't healthy. Their is a range in which it is okay to say 'just accept yourself' and 'you don't have to be a twig' but if you are putting your health in danger. If you're developing joint problems because you weight too much or your ribs are sticking out , you need to do something.
Just because your mind is happy with how you look, doesn't mean your body is.
So you make a bitchy comment and you get annoyed because someone responds with a bitchy comment. You're so self righteous, you draw a comic about the conversation and what you wish you had said and post it online.
I am a fat person, been all my life but I'm really trying to lose weight. I exercise daily and eat healthy foods. What I don't understand is that should I, just because I'm fat, only wear clothes that cover my whole body so that no one has to see "my disgusting rolls"? In the summer when it's really warm outside am I not allowed to wear summer dresses, because they may show my fat? I completely agree that we all should dress properly but what I do not understand is that am I not allowed to feel sexy? Or should I every time I buy clothes think about all those people who might find me disgusting? Should I feel like I have no worth as a human being just because I'm fat, that no one will find me attractive as long as I am fat?
Yes we all should take care of our bodies, exercise and eat healthy foods. But you should never make anyone feel like garbage just because they look a certain way.
Can't believe the number of people condoning this shit. Do you all have such low self esteem that you feel the need to tear others down to make yourself feel better all in the name of ‘health’? Lots of people are fat despite their best efforts I used have a cleaning lady who was obese despite the fact that she subsisted almost entirely on a diet of vegetables because her family was too poor to afford meat and such and her job involved a lot of physical work. So take a second to think about other people maybe before you tear them down?
Seriously like what the heck. Who bloody cares?!?! As long as they're happy and it's not harming you in any way, why the hell does it matter? It really bugs me when people complain and say "oh they should lose weight" or "that's so unhealthy". Like it doesn't affect you so why would you worry.
:D
YAY ASSUMPTIONS!
