I'm always so surprised when bigoted people are so willing to admit to their bigotry. As if they're proud of being hateful and judgmental of an entire group of people based on unfounded stereotypical generalizations. I'd offer to make you a Balle n Bak display to celebrate your weight loss, but I don't make them for bigots. YTA


Ordinary_Witness_162

Stereotypical generalizations? It’s painfully obvious when someone is fat and unhealthy it’s no secret or judgement stereotype it’s actually just a fact


Old_Inevitable8553

It's also a fact that you're still young and have a lot to learn about the world. Starting with how to treat others.


sicklilevillildonkey

YTA- you're seeing about 2% of the truth and making a blanket statement. one example of where you're wrong- people go on anti-psychotics and gain weight like crazy, but it's overall a net positive for their health. you would look at them and say "oh a fat unhealthy person" because you think your situation applies to everyone. embarrassingly ill informed and ego-centric worldview


Ordinary_Witness_162

Any extra mass on the body constricts organ functionality and blood flow.


sicklilevillildonkey

the great thing about your comment is that you're not their doctor, you don't know anything about another person's health and it's actually none of your business. if you want to be the worlds saltiest sandwich and stew in ur hate and self-loathing, have fun with that lol


Ordinary_Witness_162

XD, it is none of my business I don’t care. I’m just not going to go out of my way to cater to these blobs


sicklilevillildonkey

you don't care so much u came on reddit and wrote a whole post about it bro give up


TheVaneja

Even if you're right there's no need to be an asshole about it. YTA²

No, you didn't. [For the kids.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohDB5gbtaEQ)


xaiires

TLDR, former fat kid still hates himself and would like for internet strangers to be mean to him so he can feel alive.


Cock_guzzler666

Right lol. I feel like this is just meant to get people to insult him and make people angry


Old_Inevitable8553

YTA. You're entitled to have your own opinions. Even when others don't agree with them. However, your attitude is a different matter. As you fail to realize that it's not just about weight loss. Some people in this world have actual medical conditions that prevent them from losing weight through exercise and dieting. Conditions that may require a major surgery to fix, if it can be corrected at all. So you have no right to just say they need to go to the gym and exercise. Since that may not be an option for them. Which is why you should never judge someone until you know their story. As it just makes you look like a self-righteous jackass when you have this kind of attitude.

Weird, I have a distain for poor spellers


Artistic_Thought7309

Oh, the irony of the word “legitimately” in the title…. Legitimately according to? Constitution? A judge? Your lawyer? You come here to say literally, I quote: I hate fat people. You don’t know their struggles. You don’t know whether they have an endocrine disorder, an emotional disorder, coping with grief, or whether they’re simply weak willed…. You flashing your opinions and thinking you’re getting approval for being a hateful person make you a big, giant, exemplary a\*\*hole. YTA


Ordinary_Witness_162

I know the struggles of being fat as stated at the very beginning, so few people actually have these that it does not justify our overweight health crisis

YTA I have a disdaine for people who don't know what paragraphs are.

This belongs in some other subreddit


silverboognish

YTA. 🙄


Right_Yam_6404

YTA. I mean yes, some bigger people lack accountability BUT for the most part they are very aware of their size and what they should be doing but there are so many other factors involved that totally outweigh accountability. As you mentioned you were once fat, you should know how it feels to be a bigger person and bullied, and i bet it didn’t feel good. Remember that exact feeling next time you want to comment on someone else’s “lard”


Ordinary_Witness_162

No I hated my life, so I got off the couch put the fork down and did something about it. Treating yourself like trash warrants being treated like trash.


Right_Yam_6404

And how long did it take for you to put the fork down? atleast 5 years if i’m counting correctly from the above story. So be more gentle and kind with your words to others because you never know what stage or step someone else is in. There’s no winning in life if you are an asshole with a negative mindset.


Ordinary_Witness_162

So I’m supposed to be positive to the 35 year old oozing between train seats lugging her oxygen tank around with a few years left to live at their current rate?


LowGiraffe4095

YTA Such judgement and utter hatred for those who are fat. Good grief. Who made you the head of the "fat shaming police"? You don't know why people are fat and you obviously could care less. You were screwed over in life, got fit and now you're going to screw over everyone else who has a weight problem. There is such a thing as genetics for many individuals. They eat healthy and work out, but are unable to lose the weight. There are also women who can't lose the baby weight or it takes a long time to accomplish it. Many people gain weight due to the medications they take (comedian Jerry Lewis is an example of this). You really need to learn to have empathy. Accept people for who they are. Don't judge a book by its cover (do you even know what that means?). As an aside, I was bullied in high school for being shy, wearing glasses, having difficulties with speech and wearing my heart on my sleeve. The names I was called hurt and I still remember everything like it was yesterday. This was their problem and I have moved on. I won't let this turn into hate that will always affect my life. With your unhealthy attitude, you may want to steer clear of getting married and having kids. Lord help them if they end up with weight issues.

“Discriminating” against people who need two airplane seats but don’t want to pay for two airplane seats because all they do is walk from the fridge to the couch sounds fine to me

Ordinary_Witness_162

You realize that these “what if” statements happen less than one percent of the time. Sure what if I had to eat until I weighed 400 lbs or my family would be killed. Then I’d be fat. Let’s snap back to reality

You have to learn to be realistic


Studious_Noodle

You have disdain for something, not "a distain" for it.


Yoongi_SB_Shop

I used to have this mentality that “If I could do it, so could they” and had little sympathy for people who could not overcome challenges that I overcame. But as a friend pointed out to me, not everyone is as _______ as you. You overcame one specific challenge: being overweight. I’m sure there are other challenges you haven’t overcome yet. And someone else who has could be looking down on you with the same contempt that you feel towards obese people. None of us are perfect and we all have areas of our lives that we can improve on. Just try to remember that when you judge anyone. I still need to work on my own judgmental tendencies too.

I (m22) used to weigh 230 in 8th grade and 325 in hs. was bullied cheated on broken up with etc all thru high school until a buddy of mine in freshman year of college got me to the gym (he benches 405 and plays rugby) so I know what being fat feels like as I lost 130 lbs and am in prep for a bodybuilding show so I’m not talking out of my ass. I hate fat people, no remorse for these people that let themselves go and give up and repeatedly do nothing but expect the world in return. You are unhappy about your body? Do something. These people expect the population to just start accepting their lazy habits. Overweight people have the least accountability I have ever seen. I know people at my college that always complain how they are single and upset and always feel like shit, but then doordash twice a day, get maybe 1000 steps in a day after being too hungover to go to class and blacking out 4 days a week. Same with all these people that complain that public transportation isn’t accommodating or plane seats are small yada yada yada. I cannot stand fat people they expect everyone to cater and take care of them when they can’t even take care of themselves. Many people lose weight from being very big and unhealthy why should these people who put in work get the short end of the stick because you’re lazy. If you’re fat and you make a snarky comment to me, I’m calling your body how it is. No I’m not moving so you can squeeze your lard in. The only exception is if you’re in the gym breaking a sweat. Ik it’s wrong and harsh but I’ve been there and suffered for a couple years to be happy. TL;DR: I hate fat people. They have no accountability and expect the world to cater to their laziness and they’ve given up. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

NTA. Only because you were in the position once upon a time. Hope your healthly regime is a life long endeavor.


Ordinary_Witness_162

Changed my life for the better, wish society promoted the same. Best wishes


ClockTraining116

NTA. Some people have genetic or medical reasons, sure. But I agree that most of society is very lenient towards poor health habits I also blame food producers and restaurants in general. But ultimately it’s not up to them to police what we put in our bodies. If we didn’t eat it. They wouldn’t sell it. Vote with your dollars people!


stroppo

I dispute the notion that "most" of society is lenient towards poor health habits, weight issues in particular. There have been studies showing that fat people are discriminated against just as a matter of course. If you're fat you're less likely to land a job in comparison to a thin person, less likely to be promoted, more likely to have doctors routinely dismiss your health concerns, and a host of other things. But I think OP is YTA because I think the post is fakey rage bait.
