Why does me being 300+ pounds offend so many people?!

Question

Like seriously, it doesn’t have anything to do with you! I’m sick of strangers looking at me weird everywhere I go. If I’m happy with who I am then why does it matter to anyone else?!

Accepted Answer

Not justifying at all, but people stare at extremes.. If you are 30lbs, or 300lbs.. if you are super skinny, they stare, if you are over weight they stare.. just like the picture you posted… anything “different” or extreme, gets some sort of a reaction.. if you dress is goth, if you have tattoos all over your body, if you have a shaved head…all these things tend to draw a little curiosity… I wouldn’t pay any attention to it, and just know inside and out you are beautiful…

Answer

I know this is an unpopular opinion and comes off as insensitive no matter how it’s worded but unfortunately being 300+ pounds most likely means you’re unhealthy. People aren’t offended, they’re worried about you. Of course there are assholes, but there are with anything. This doesn’t mean I would judge you based off looks. This doesn’t mean you aren’t the most beautiful person inside and out. I think it’s amazing that you’re happy with who you are. However, you are at risk for developing many different illnesses/conditions that will shorten your life and also putting extra strain on the body. 
I think it’s great that we are slowly becoming more body conscious, to love the body we are in and that plus size women are being modeled in more and more commercials/magazines, but there comes a point that it’s not okay to normalize obviously unhealthy weight. It’s alarming that the US is becoming one of the “biggest” countries in the world and someone in our government needs to start advocating for more focus on making healthy food cost less and searching for more ways to assist people that are medically unable to lose weight.

Answer

I feel like if you were truly happy with yourself then you wouldn’t care if people stare

Answer

I don’t judge people on their weight honestly I judge on their attitude and personality, A lot of bigger people are super attractive and they look pretty good and most then skinny ass people ,But we cannot deny that being overweight is super unhealthy and causes many health risks in future , I was 280 at some point and it was causing me so many issues like diabetes , high blood pressure , my feet were always swollen , my asthma was getting worse and worst of all I was severely depressed , as soon as I started loosing weight I just overall felt like a new person

Answer

Because its not healthy? I still wouldn’t stare but just saying thats probably why

Answer

I don’t judge individuals on their choices or their weight, but rather the government. If more people had access to fresh, low-cost food, we would spend SO much less per year battling obesity, the related illnesses, and prevent countless premature deaths.

Answer

Because most people's mothers obviously never taught them it's rude to stare and judge people. Wether you're 120 lbs or 300 lbs, it's nobody's business what you do with your body. As long as you're happy, who cares what others think.
Simply smile and wave at them so they know they've been caught staring and you don't care in the slightest 💚

Answer

I think saying that it offends people is your own projection. People stare because you’re most likely clinically obese and they have not learned to mind their business. But the only one who put the word offence / offended  is yourself.

Answer

So many people in society have been made to believe that being big is unhealthy and not attractive. Or if you are big you should feel bad about yourself. Being skinny is a sign you take good care of yourself and that is what’s attractive. 🙄🙄 It sucks that people just can’t feel or be seen as confident in their own bodies no matter their size.

Answer

It shouldn’t. People are assholes though. They judge and think everything is their business. They make assumptions and lack understanding.
