Negative Body Image

[CypressDahlia]

While you are not trying to insult overweight people you have certainly been implying that anyone who is unhappy with their bodies but struggling to begin to lose weight is lazy.

I think we should revisit this point because there is still something here you are missing. When I said "laziness does not qualify" I was referring only to toast's example. It wasn't meant to be an all-inclusive statement.

But I did say that overcoming one's insecurities and leaving one's comfort zone does involve effort. It's a different kind of effort but effort nonetheless. I still find "I'm trying" to be a respectable response, even if the person isn't seeing much success. Again, my point was: you're either trying, or you don't care enough to try. I can respect those who try and, as you've agreed, there is no reason to pander to those who aren't. If a person does not care enough to help themselves be satisfied with their self perception, why expect others to embellish it for them? Why force others to see in you what you do not see in yourself? That's what I'm getting at.

There have been plenty of judgmental statements made in this thread. Strangely enough, none of them were about fat people.

Hey Cypress repeating what you've already said doesn't make it any more true or valid. Geez say something new you're boring

Delphinus does it ever bother you to know that you have the ideological consistency of day old pudding.
