I think being overweight, as we see, is a very emotional, very complicated issue.
There is not a "one size fits all answer."

As for me personally, I have never been overweight, but my weight has certainly fluctuated.

In terms of feeling bad for fat people...it really depends I guess.

In general, not really. Most people who I personally know are fat because they eat too damn much and don't exercise. Point blank.

One person on the other hand had a serious addiction to food. He was at least 450-500 pounds (more maybe-I'm bad at gauging these things), had both knees replaced and had to take viagra because when you're that fat...you can't get it up. He was a serious emotional eater and had deep seated issues with food since childhood. I feel for people like this what I feel for alcoholics and drug addicts, some people are more predisposed to addiction and it sucks. Really. But there comes a point where you have to make a personal choice and say "I can not continue this. "

His doctor basically told him it wasn't a question of if he would die but when. He then finally took control of his health and started a fitness program for morbidly obese people with UC Irvine. His insurance was unwilling to pay for this program: which included monitored work outs, group therapy sessions and supervised meal plans. The insurance did offer to pay for a bipass. It's disgusting because it's like putting a band aid on pneumonia. Treat the fucking cause, not the symptoms.

This man is now slimmed down to a XXL which for him is a major accomplishment. He can shop at normal stores instead of Big and Tall and actually has a sense of pride in self.

My long winded point is this, people have various addictions and diseases which manifest in different forms. It might be food. I feel bad for these people, but at some point you must take responsibility for yourself and take care of your own health. No one else will do it for you.

Serious medical conditions which are the minority of cases, do not apply, obviously....
