Overweight people and summer

    What is the story with over weight people deciding to wear next to nothing this year? Blokes with their bellies hanging out. Girls with multi muffins going on.

    Is it time to say showing off your flab is not OK in the same way saying too skinny is not OK?

    I blame the media for making people think it is OK to be overweight. They were once saying it was OK to be skinny!

    Whoever allows themselves to be influenced by the media is a person of low intelligence.

    I don't know how anyone could think it is ok to be unhealthy.

    If you apply a minimal amount of intelligence to the problem you'll probably find that extra layers of clothes are uncomfortably warm.

    / throws another steak on the barbie

    / puts newspaper under barbicue to catch any grease

    if that sight is distrurbing for you OP, look somewhere else.

    Yoy are concerned with the display of an unhealthy body rather than the being unhealthy itself..that's worrying imo

    So are extra layers of flesh. Catch 22.

    Or I may find you real cool for finding a loop hole for doing it.

    Who, whose opinion matters to me, says?

    You need to stop focusing on other peoples flaws and focus on your own a bit more OP

    Anyone else think that people who give out about fat people on AH are probably a bit on the heavy side themselves? I always picture the OP like this when I see these kinds of threads. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭ordinary_girl


    I have no issue with overweight people wearing shorts, (medium length!) skirts or v-necks. I do, however, draw the line at crop tops which seem to have climbed back into fashion, thus creating the illusion that anyone can wear them. Even most skinny people look ridiculous with crop tops on, though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 714 ✭✭✭Smyth


    Sure they're "curves" my dear.

    God bless Gok.

    I blame the media for making people think it is OK to be overweight.

    I blame people who cannot be happy with themselves and so look outward to criticise others even more harshly.

    If someone is doing no harm to yourself or others, leave them be.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭jd007


    I for one, agree with the op.

    I for one welcome our overweight overlords.



    Sorry couldn't resist:o

    I am not giving out about fat people. Just people showing off bodies that should not be shown off. Fat or thin.

    Simple really.

    How you see me has been reported.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭df1985


    It doesnt bother me at all but its made me notice just how much in bad shape most of the country actually is.collectively most of us have a few wobbly bits its seems.suppose thatll happen when we're raised on spuds and booze.

    So you propose widespread distribution of burkas then ?
    Or some form of countrywide dress code ?

    Your unhappiness has come from within you, not from the outside.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,506 ✭✭✭lil'bug


    speaking as a fat girl (lil'bug is really big bug) i always try and keep me wobbly bits covered as i think it does look terrible, i haven't got it so i don't flaunt it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Some fat people not insecure enough. Nobody wants to see a pasty beer gut on the beach. At least wear a t-shirt or a vest.

    I have looked after myself. I read all the notices. Health, body and mind.

    I am asking for nothing just pointing out how horrid it can be driving around cities in Ireland these days due to people not adhering to a decent lifestyle, or due to medical reasons.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 223 ✭✭drakshug


    I keep my beer belly under wraps. I wouldn't inflict it on anybody. Funnily enough the rest of the bod allows shorts etc. Then again I wouldn't wander around town without a t shirt anyway.

    good work to thank yourself
    i'm sure you must be proud of yourself

    As if confidence wasn't low enough thinking I look disgusting anyway it's nice to know that you think so too.

    Yet you still criticise others in an uncompassionate manner.

    What is a decent lifestyle ?
    Is there some template which all must adhere too ?
    Let me guess, it's a book for only €15.99 on Amazon somewhere ?

    Evolution would've naturally deselected fat people if it was truly bad.
    In fact, the potato famine may naturally selected fat people to survive because they had either fat reserves or a slower metabolism.

    If everyone in the world were as thin as people expect them to be, then a short food shortage of say 10 days would wipe out most of the population.

    There is a reason why people come in all shapes and sizes.
    The reason is that nature has wiped out all those who are standardised.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,819 ✭✭✭✭peasant


    Overweight people overheat faster. FACT :D

    The fatter you are the less you want to wear when it gets warm. FACT

    Live with it. :D

    I hurt your feelings.

    I think your mind is overweight. It certainly seems to have some unhealthy obsessions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,894 ✭✭✭✭phantom_lord


    I'm not sure why people have such a problem with this thread, it's not as if people have a hereditary disease or something. This is something people have complete agency over.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 220 ✭✭Aids By Google

    My brain is over weight but you have to be careful saying that. Fat brain and what have you!

    I heart your love :)

    No, you didn't.

    I just love challenging immature attitudes.
    And you still haven't defended your opinions in any coherent manner.

    If people want to show off their bodies, no matter what size they are, then they probably have more self confidence/lack of self consciousness than you have.

    You're naturally reacting to this, by questioning why they can feel this way while you can't.

    If it's acceptable for skinny people and/or normal sized people to show a little bit of skin when it's hot out, then so should over sized. Everyone gets hot.

    I agree it's not the most attractive thing to look at though.

    You're a mod of poker / gambling ?
    So do you agree that people who gamble too much make a conscious decision with every single hand of poker to get themselves into serious financial debt ?

    No, they're called Americans, there's a difference.

    Chefs can make the best of food in the world, are you saying that they are completely immune from gaining weight because they avoid junk food ?

    ??

    So if I pay €10 into a game of poker I am now in serious financial debt?

    Are you trying to argue that overweight people don't have agency? They may not choose it directly, but they do choose either being lazy or overeating over keeping in shape.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,990 ✭✭✭Darksaga87


    Stand up all fat men
    Stand up straight
    Stand up because no chair can hold your weight
    If God created us to be so big
    That's proof
    He must be a big fat pig

    God's really flabby with an ass so wide
    His arms look like pillows with cake mix inside
    God's man boobs are flabby and they hurt when he jogs
    And the back of God's neck looks like a pack of hot dogs.

    How do you get a fat girl into bed?

    Piece of cake!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,550 ✭✭✭Min


    For most people they have no excuse for being fat, it is all about eating the right foods and exercise.
    It is only a small minority that are overweight due to medical conditions.

    I wouldn't mind people being fat except I do have a concern for their health as it raises the risks of cancers, heart disease and diabetes.
