I think it is sad that people choose to live in a way which will harm them in the future, but the same also goes for smokers, alcoholics, etc. Even though I do not support such lifestyles, I avoid judging individuals that do. The only times I do find fault with such people are if they hurt others in the process.

I pretty much feel the same way.
Hell...some people ride motorcycles, some people like getting tans, some people drive without a seatbelt, some people climb mountains, some people use drugs. Whatever. Not my concern. It's their life, they can live it like they want to. And if they get joy out of overeating/not exercising/snorting coke/basejumping/whatever, then it ain't my business. It's not like that one single aspect of them defines them as a person any more than any other lifestyle choice.
I will say this though...I hate associating with fat people who are constantly talking about their fatness. Whether they're taking pride in their fatness or complaining about how they hate being fat, I don't want to hear it. Same thing goes for skinny people. I don't usually hear many skinny people bragging about how skinny they are, or crying because they think they are too skinny. So for the fat people that I meet, I don't care if they're fat, so long as they are happy being fat. But when you meet FAT PEOPLE who are talking about their fatness more than anyone else, then yeah...they need to STHU. It's like being in a room full of black people with one white person being so insecure that he's making comments about his own whiteness. And it's like...shut up! No one else was making fun of you for being white, so why the hell are YOU bringing it up? That kind of **** just reeks of overall insecurity.
If one is comfortable with being fat, then fine. Not my business. I just don't want to constantly hear them talking about how fat they are. I'm not making an issue out of it, so what the hell makes THEM have to make an issue out of it?
It's sort of like if you're walking down the street and stop by a bus stop, and then ask a nearby black person if he knows what time the bus usually arrives. And then he gets all up in your face like, "why would I know? Do you think I have to ride the bus just because I'm black?" You know, the sort of annoying-as-**** "bring the issue up before someone else does" kind of insecurity that so often just makes people completely ****ing unpleasant to be around. I know a guy who's just an overall dumbass. And when people say to him, "hello, how are you doing", he has a habit of saying "I'm fat! How are you?" And it's like...what the **** is that dude's problem? He's clearly INSECURE about being fat, but it wasn't ME who brought up his obesity. HE chose to make his obesity an issue when I was just treating him with normal ****ing courtesy and asking how he is doing. And then...he has the nerve to to make accusations about people treating him unfairly because he's obese, when HE'S the one forcing the entire ****ing issue in the first place. Again, quite like the dude who is constantly saying **** like, "you all obviously don't like me because I'm black." No, we don't like you because you always make a huge issue about your blackness and then call people racists when they inevitably decide that you're unpleasant to be around.
Amen.
