I'm fat and every time I look at someone else who is fat, I think that I really need to stop eating so much. I think that is a mental condition called lack of self control and laziness.

Good question. Our daughter has a friend who is 9, she is overweight, as are both of her parents. I do not belive there is a fat gene, and in their case think the weight comes from unhealthy eating. I try not to judge,but it bothers me to see overweight children and overweight parents. It's one thing for an adult to be overweight...They know the problems being overweight can cause. But children don't,and to not try and show healthy eating habits and such with children is a shame.

I would probably notice that they were fat. maybe I would think it must be hard living like that. But I would not judge them. I am in no position to do that if I do not know them well, and know how their life really is

Well i am not thinking anything whenever i sees fat people. I actually don't care if they are fat or even thin. That's what they are and same as me. Other people don't even care about me if im thin or fat so what's the point right? For me, i just mind my own business so, that's my life really is. Cheers and have a nice day ahead from Francis.

I don't know much about human chromosomes and the genes for grow but i think obesity is a disease. When i see fat people on the street i don't feel anything, only those who can not control their weight that i feel pity for them. However, at what weight or size can one be considered fat , slim/thin and slender. i live in a comunity where you see someone slender or medium size and they consider themselves fat and try to starve themselves to grow thin.

First I would like to say hi and welcome to mylot!!I dont look @ anyone strange.Everybody is human and I personally dont know what is going on in a person's life.I work with mentally retarded adults and people have a tendency of looking at them weird and I dislike it because we are all human.Far as obesity being a disease I think it increases the risk of health issues.I really wouldn't call it a disease,because some overweight people are healthy if they are active and exercise.SO I really wouldn't call it a disease.

I have been fat, in the past, and lost 60 pounds, but it was too late and I still had a heart attack. Even though I was overweight I would look at fat people and always think they were worse than me and should go on a diet. It took my son snapping a picture of my in my underwear before I finally admited that I was one of those fat people. Now that I am 60 pounds lighter I still look at fat people and think they need to exercise.
