/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

[Anonymous No.7143695]

So, everyone, can we discuss the issue about fat cosplayers again (and again and again)?
Thing is I'm fat and I'm a cosplayer. My cosplays aren't bad, most are made in a way that people can't see the ugly parts of me and etc, but I can't help but feel bad when I'm at cons, because i always end up thinking about how everyone is probably laughing inside when they look at me. I'm trying to lose weight and I'm actually doing great, so yay, but I'm really REALLY fat so I think i won't get a normal body until the end of next year and cosplay is my hobby so I don't know if i should just stop doing it for one year while my friends are having fun doing it or if I should continue doing it anyway.

What i want to know is about your opinion, not only about my case in particular but what you think about fat cosplayers in general too. No one will ever tell what they really think about fat cosplayers anywhere, everyone is just so "When you cosplay, it's the fun matters!", so i want to know, when you see a fat girl/boy on a costume, not the terrible improvised ones, I'm talking about cosplays that are averange or great, what do you think? Do you think that it's good if the cosplay is normal and/or beautiful or do you just laughs at it because it doesn't matters if the costume is well done if the body is fat?

Not me on the picture, just googled it until I found a fat cosplayer that would show what I consider 'fat but hidding the ugly parts'.

[Anonymous No.7143706]

First off. congrats on losing weight! Hope everything goes well with that.
All I have to say is this: anyone can cosplay but not everyone can do it right. If you want to cosplay but you're overweight, go for it but just don't expect it to come out perfectly and don't claim you look true to the character because you don't. The same goes for height and such. But remember not everyone has the same opinions so some people at cons might be rude towards you. Just keep that in mind.

[Anonymous No.7143770]

There are assholes out there. But honestly, I don't think most people care or really notice all that much. Depending on the convention, a sizeable portion of the people are overweight.

Just cosplay who you like and what you feel is most comfortable and enjoy yourself.

I was a pretty big cosplayer myself, and I'm currently down to a size much smaller than what I was when I started. But I haven't really done much cosplay lately. Once I get to my goals I want to do more cosplays again.

I don't get bothered by fat cosplayers unless they cosplay something that has a lot of skin out. Sorry, but no one likes seeing your fat Yoko rolls.

[Anonymous No.7143789]

Fat German fag here.
I really want to cosplay, so i just look up some fat chars from anime, manga, game and comic books, and try to start next year with it.

As long as you don't try to cosplay Sailor Moon with a ultra short skirt, or , dunno , Zero Suit Samus, you should be fine. My GF is a little bit on the thick site too, and she still cosplay alot of stuff.
And even if you want to do Sailor Moon, just..do it, but hide the "ugly" parts.

The point of cosplaying is to have fun. That's the number one rule.

But anybody who says it doesn't matter or most people don't notice isn't being honest. You will never look as good cosplaying a thin character as a thin girl does, and you would look a lot better doing it if you were thin. If you don't care about anyone else at all then it doesn't matter, but it's clear that you do. People like accuracy and detail and they'll always praise someone for looking like a character over someone who doesn't.

[Anonymous No.7143807]

since 99% of the characters are extremely thin, I don't explect fat poeple to cosplay something their size. If your costume is not ill-fitting, your wig is styled properly and you have nice make up, I'll probably be pleased, even if you're overwight and don't look like the character. The real issue are hambeasts who smell ,have sweat all over them and their cosplay is falling apart.

[Anonymous No.7143812]

There will always be assholes out there no matter what even if you were the most beautiful and perfect (insert character here) cosplayer. Honestly, I don't mind fat cosplayers so long as they're decent people. The only time I do mind is when it's a really fat person cosplaying something very skimpy like Thief Rikku while jumping up and down whenever... oh god, whenever I think of that one from Anime Expo years ago I have Vietnam-like flashbacks. I did my best to avoid her but she kept popping up wherever I went somehow.

[Anonymous No.7143836]

>>7143695
I appreciate costumes where the person obviously put a lot of effort into making it, regardless of their weight. If the outfit itself is bad, I would personally find the entire look to be off-putting even if the person was very attractive. In my mind, a look like that would be equivalent to a hot girl in a tacky Halloween costume.

OP, please cosplay for your own enjoyment.
Otherwise, I worry you will try to base your actions on generalizations of what other people may or may not think.

Whether it's cosplay or day-to-day life, there will always be those cruel people who judge a person's "quality of character" on size, clothing cut, race, etc.

You wouldn't be helping yourself by focusing on pleasing the people who think like that.

So do your best work and enjoy it.

hey, anon! don't worry about it so much! the most important part is that you've started putting efforts into losing weight! now all you need is time. don't give up!
i think you should still cosplay if it makes you happy but if you're losing weight you'll be too small for all the costumes from the past you have. then again, it might be motivating to look at them and be able to say "i did what i wanted to do with my body".
you might not look as good as a thin girl does cosplaying a kawaii moe anime girl, but you seem to already be aware of that. just keep up the work and be an inspiration! do your best to work with what you've got and under no circumstances hate yourself!
i used to be chubby and lost 10 kilos by just not stuffing my face and couldn't be happier. fuck being fat, i don't even care about what other people think, i just wanted to get healthy and be happy with my body.

Fun fact: Sailor Moon was actually meant to be chubby in comparison to all the other scouts because she eats so much, but Naoko's style didn't translate that very well (read: at all).

[Anonymous No.7144342]

I'm gonna be straight with you here. Fat cosplayers almost always look foolish. It doesn't matter how good the cosplay is, if the character's not fat and you're fatter than holy hell, you don't look like them and the cosplay is ruined. Sure nobody cares, sure cosplay is about fun, but it still looks like lard-ridden crap and you're not going to ever be a truly impressive rendition of the character. If you are fat and want to cosplay, I suggest finding a fat character or a big character that hides the body well. Here's an example of something, albeit hard, that a fat person could cosplay.

I want to point out that I'm speaking from pure objective honesty here. I'm actually into chubby chicks myself, but truth is truth.

[Anonymous No.7144407]

>>7143695
When someone is fat it does not matter if the clothes, hair or cosplay look decent or "made in a way that people can't see the ugly parts of you", all I see is a fat person.
Now I'm not saying fat people are disgusting but their bodies are not nice to look at whether you're cosplaying or using regular clothes, look at pic related and look at the pic you posted, Do they look nice or at least decent? not to me or to someone who likes healthy people, which is the majority.

If you like cosplaying, do it, but then don't cry when someone laughs at you for being fat, face the fact that you look ugly, funny, gross or whatever but don't let it get you, you may think that the girl you posted looks good or at least decent but the truth is that she does not.

Anyways congrats on your decision to loose weight and I hope you reach a normal weight so you can do what you like without feeling selfconscious and having people laughing at you for being fat.

[Anonymous No.7144424]

>>7143910
This guy has the right idea. It's cool to see fat cosplayers cosplay to their body type. I always cringe a little when I see people cosplay out of body type (for example, I'm basically flat-chested, so I'd never cosplay a Morrigan-type character). I know that fat characters are relatively scarce, so it sucks, but major props to fat cosplayers who use their body type to make their cosplay more accurate.

As for fat people cosplaying thin characters - I think it depends on the character. If the character they're dressing as is explicitly athletic, it's pretty awkward.

In any case, congrats on the weight loss OP.

I am a man. Hello.

Who do I want to be friends with? Fun people who are friendly, and social.

Who do I form relationships with? Girls who are not fat.

The two aren't mutually exclusive. I'm not laughing at fat girls at cons unless they're wearing bikinis. But you should just be aware, you'll never be popular or rule the roost as a woman until you're moderately attractive.

It really depends on your priorities.

[Anonymous No.7144696]

Any trouble I have with people who don't match the character's body type is how the cosplay itself fits. I have seen way too many cosplayers whose cosplays hang off of them, or they stretch almost to the ripping point (not a pretty sight). A fat cosplayer can look as good as a skinny cosplayer, it just depends on how well you can tailor. Making the cosplay fit your body shape will cover a lot of sins.

Pick one, because that's bullshit and not a "fact." Just because there's maybe 20~ hamsteaks at a convention that become lolcows doesn't mean they account for the majority of good cosplaying fatties.

Congrats on losing weight! So long as a cosplay is done well craftsmanship wise and you look good, I'm going to think it's a nice cosplay. It might not be the best it could be because of your body, but I definitely wouldn't even think about laughing at you simply because of your weight.
If you want, plan a more intricate cosplay for the body you'll have in a year, then just alter your past cosplays for during the year. That way you can save money for an awesome cosplay when you have an awesome body!

[Anonymous No.7144771]

I think cosplaying as someone who is similar to your body type is key to cosplay, kind of like >>7143910 did.
It makes sense to try and find a character you look similar to. If you find a character you really like who you want to cosplay and the outfit wouldn't be flattering, look for small alterations you could make to make it flattering or alternate outfits the character has. Alternatively, look at a different character in the series. I understand cosplay is for fun, but I think part of the fun of making sure you cosplay relative to your body type/size makes it so people won't necessarily laugh at you for being big. It fits the character, so it looks accurate. Coming from a fatty, I have no problem cosplaying heavier characters because I know I can pull them off well. I would never cosplay as Yoko because I know I would be laughed at. I find characters I look similar to and make a cosplay to the best of my ability to be that character.

I hope this made sense...

IMHO if you want a cosplay to look good and be appreciated, your body type, face, and the costume itself should all be accurate. Unfortunately for fat girls, this really limits their choices on what to cosplay, but the competitive side of cosplay is pretty harsh.

As a plus size cosplayer, I don't mind plus size cosplay as long as there is good workmanship/wig, good makeup and the woman being aware of her size and fitting the costume to match. I always tell my plus size cosplay friends to invest in good shapewear, because even if you are large having a smooth body really changes how the cosplay will look in the end. If you are cosplaying a thin character and I can see every roll of fat, I will be grossed out. Shapewear/hosiery/corsets are a plus size cosplayers best friend

For example, since people used Sailor Moon as an example earlier, here is a good plus size Sailor Venus cosplay, and a bad Sailor Moon. Venus looks good because there is good workmanship, good wig work and use of good shapewear to keep things smooth. Only thing I would change would be some dancer tights/panty hose to smooth out the leg and maybe a bit more makeup. She may not be amazing, but she looks fine and the costume fits her well.

Moon, on the other hand, looks bad or at least mediocre. Poor craftsmanship, bad wig, bad makeup, the obvious tummy roll.

It's really not about cosplaying thin characters as a big girl, but how much effort you put into the cosplay and yourself looking good

Do you really? Alright then. I honestly truly feel that fat cosplayers will never be as good as skinny/fit ones. I will always see them as not as pretty. Fat is ugly to me. I've tried to be blind and all accepting but the honest truth is that I'm just not. Fat people gross me out. I'm not proud of it, I don't say anything about it. But deep down it's just how I feel. And no amount of "your fatshaming" speeches can ever make it go away.

I think you should lose weight. You'll be much more beautiful and you'll probably have more energy as well. Shopping will become easier too. Fat is just really really ugly though and I never take fat cosplayers seriously. They're just something to look at and be glad that that's not me. I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings.

I don't mind at all, as long as it's well made and fits your body type. As for losing weight, go see a doctor and do what she/he tells you. I think you should give it a shot for health reasons, but nothing's stopping you from cosplaying before you do. Do what makes you happy, but try choosing body appropriate costumes, you won't get torn down as much by immature children. Not trying to be a dick, I used to be underweight and wear bikini swimsuits.

[Anonymous No.7145244]

Cosplaying outside of the body/face type of the character is always a sad thing to look at. I'm honestly more fond of rushed and shitty cosplays when it comes to chubbies cosplaying characters that are stick thin, same goes for horseface-chans trying to pass as kawaii ugus. While they may make me cringe, it's nowhere near as strong as I feel about the hard working cosplayers that will never get it right, no matter how hard they work. I can see the tremendous amount of work you put in your cosplay, if only you could work as hard on getting fit. Those with unlucky facial structure can't do much, but you can.

>all this hugbox shit

OP asked for honest opinions, I'll assume he actually wants to know them.
This is mine, and I am pretty sure from talking to other cosplayers and others that I am definitely not a minority with it.

Plain and simple, fat people are not attractive to most. You can argue this, you can say it's not like that, but I'm sure fat people themselves even know that.
When someone sees someone unattractive (to the observing person) cosplaying, including fat people, including otherwise unattractive people, there are mostly negative feelings about it.
The reason for this is that they're most likely cosplaying as characters that are viewed as attractive by the majority (anime characters are very rarely ugly).
I'm no fucking psychologist, I dont know why I and many others are so disgusted by unattractive people cosplaying as attractive characters. Perhaps it is the idea that cosplay is supposed to look close to the original.

Keep in mind I wouldnt bully or laugh at these people, as long as I dont find their costume laughable. I just think it's not at all a good thing to do.

TL;DR for the majority, fat means unattractive. Many many people are thrown off by an unattractive person cosplaying someone attractive.
I really don't give a shit if you're going to call me a bigot or what the fuck ever now, I don't have to find fat girls attractive as much as you don't have to find neckbears attractive.

Most people don't care, it's when someone out of shape (skinny fat people too) wear horrible fitting, almost falling apart skimpy cosplays is when people tend to go WTF.

Obvious bait thread aside: I've never had trouble cosplaying even though I'm fat. I get lots of compliments and make plenty of friends at conventions. There has not been one time I've ever been mocked for my weight or told I shouldn't do a character.
Fuck, my very first cosplay was Chobits and even though the dress was a shiny mess, people still gave me sincere compliments and told me it was pretty good. I don't cosplay to make a career for myself or be the most popular bitch, so "being the best" doesn't matter to me or most of my normal friends.

I know it's cgl and nobody is allowed to feel secure or pretty here, but I'm fucking beautiful. And my guess is a lot of girls who feel they're ~*~too fat~*~ to do what they want are beautiful too. Girls, if you put in the effort and have a friendly smile on your face, you're already a good cosplayer so it doesn't matter what your body type is. Just don't let bitter, unhappy people on cgl dictate how you should feel and what you should do.

Bit, every overweight person IS increasing their risk. It's not like it's some myth. Being fat makes you a lot more likely to have all kinds of problems.

And again, I can't help that I was born. But I sure as shit can help from getting fat. You're telling me that fat people shouldn't worry about their health, because they don't have to worry about any health issues other than those that everyone else has to deal with.

And it's entirely false.

If you're fat, you're at a greater risk. Simple as that.

I mean, I'm a healthy weight, and I have my own share of health problems passed down through genetics. But if I let myself get fat? I'd be fucked. I'd be dead by the time I was 40. Heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, dementia, all of these things that I'm already at risk for would become exponentially more dangerous.

They aren't always extremely lazy, but they are almost always ignorant, and if not, delusional. There is a lot of misinformation out there about weight gain and weight loss: people think you can't do it without exercise; people really seem to think they "only eat 1000 calories a day but just can't lose weight!" (a medical impossibility); people think that eating a 2000-calorie diet daily and doing no exercise, while being a 5'2" 30-year-old female is okay because that's what it said on a candy wrapper. All of these things are very common misconceptions down to simple ignorance and the amazing capacity of the human mind to trick itself into feeling better.

Fat is ugly and disgusting and people who understand all of the above, don't try to change, and actively try to claim that being fat is HEALTHY or "just as good as" being healthy are a plague upon the face of the earth.

If you're fat, you aren't. Overweight is by definition a detraction from peak physical health. Period.

Even if you don't currently have blood sugar or cholesterol issues, you may very well develop those in the near future if you consistently eat sugary of carbohydrate-ridden foods. The body simply cannot cope with an overabundance of food for a long time. Your organs are not any better equipped than a thin person's just because you have extra layers of fat.

Your bones and joints are already under extra strain and depending on how fat you are exactly, they are probably already being pushed this way and that out of their correct placement. Over long periods of time, this causes a lot of issues.

I bet if you lost weight and ate healthy - ACTUALLY healthily, not "I ate a salad before I ate my daily chocolate bar, I'm so good!" - you'd notice the differences in your life very quickly.

You are increasing your chances for all ranges of diseases, including cancer, and are doing gradual damage on your organs, bones and joints.

If you're actually trying to lose weight, then good job, and keep it up. But if you start spewing bullshit like saying "I'm just as healthy for being fat!", you are potentially damaging other people, and you're coming across as a delusional idiot with no understanding of health.

Don't forget, too, that fat fucks nowadays are likely to be in a much worse condition than ones who grew up in the '50s, when unprocessed, more naturally healthy food (even in overabundant quantities) were staples of diet, not processed foods with dozens of additives, many of which have proven to have negative effects on the health of test animals in large doses.

No, but BY DEFINITION they are healthier than a fat person in the exact same physical condition! This is not rocket science.

If they binge on junk, they're almost certainly eating above their maintenance calories and WILL BECOME fat eventually, too. This isn't rocket science either. All you're saying is "a thin person eating a fat person's diet is just as bad as a fat person" - no shit.

Again, this really isn't a good point to make. In fact, it's a completely shit point.

If you lost weight and managed to become a healthy weight, I can guarantee that you'd notice a difference in your health, energy, and generally how you feel. Even if you think you feel great. Becoming healthier, not merely the bare minimum to prevent noticeable problems, is a goal that everyone should always strive for.

A couple of months ago, I was around 200 pounds. This was in the midst of depression, and I tried to get into the whole FAT IS BEAUTIFUL fad. But I was exhausted all the time, and miserable, and hated looking at myself in the mirror.

I'm down to 170 now, and fit size 12/10 pants depending on the store. And I haven't felt better in ages. I'm still overweight, yes- and still have a ways to go. But just this difference has improved my energy, my self esteem, and pretty much everything in my life. More people are willing to talk to me, since I actually go out of my way to take care of myself.

You can love yourself when you're overweight, I suppose. But you're still killing your body. After everything I've experienced, you will never convince me that being seriously overweight leads to a better lifestyle- it just doesn't.

And I hate to be mean, but people who stop caring about their weight/claim to love themselves and be happy in their skin are just lazy. If you have to constantly justify your looks, you aren't fucking happy. If you have to put other people down on the grounds they make you feel uncomfortable, you aren't happy.

If you were happy, you wouldn't bitch at people for wanting to make themselves happy. You also wouldn't put them down for trying to take care of their bodies and be positive, just because it's different from the way you're doing it.

In other words, you're offended for no good reason, and claim that being overweight is healthy because sometimes people have unreasonable expectations? That's stupid.

You literally have no reason to say such silly and irresponsible things, like claiming being overweight is not unhealthy, when you yourself obviously realise that it is less than healthy and that you've had such success with weight loss.

Even if you're losing only half a pound per week on average, that's great and you can be an inspiration to others, rather than an inspiration for people to stay fat. Talking like losing weight is not a goal that should be worked towards encourages people to be negligent with their personal health and all in all contributes to a disgusting culture of modern life that we are going to be seeing the rewards of on a mass scale pretty soon.

Evidently, even when I say I diet and exercise they still assume I must be horribly unhealthy until I specifically state how much I've lost and show them my routine.

This whole discussion has been about whether or not being overweight is acceptable; since we are, in fact, in agreement, despite all evidence to the contrary in the past, there is no issue.

There is no need to excuse yourself when you ARE trying to improve yourself. Excuses just make you seem like you need to be persuaded to not damage your own health. When you claim that you are perfectly healthy and that any illness you might suffer from in the future because of being overweight are negligible because other people are fat too, that sort of thing heavily implies that you are attempting to say that being obese is a perfectly normal and unavoidable condition that everyone should both put up with and encourage. Those suggestions are abominable and should be fought whenever a person sees them. They encourage ill health and disgusting - even destructive - social attitudes.

Since, it seems, and I am taking your word as truth about your weight loss even though all of these previous statements lean the direct opposite way, you actually do not believe these things, then there should be no issue. Why get offended when people say that obese people look terrible in cosplay? Maybe you do/did, maybe you don't/didn't. I can hardly tell, can I, and what precisely does it matter? That isn't the discussion at hand.

This manner of deflecting topics and then revealing that a past topic was misrepresented from the beginning is very strange.

Has Zumba worked for you? I've been debating trying it, honestly, but just hate the idea of working out around other people. I'll weight lift with my trainer, but just... dancing in public freaks me out.

So I run and do Just Dance for cardio.

Have you had success with Zumba?

[Anonymous No.7145923]

>>7145913
I have the same issues about being around people when I work out. I used to feel ugly and disgusting when I sweated so being around people in a gym setting was torture.
Zumba is cool because you realize everyone else pretty much has the same anxieties as you do, but the environment is super friendly.

It also helps to know that everyone is doing ridiculous dances the same as you. I highly recommend it. My class is roughly 50minutes~ but I work up a sweat. Your results will be as good as the effort you put into it. Give it a try.
(I'm also doing it as a class for college credit so the absence policy helps me to stay motivated to go too)

If you're not having a good time at cons, then maybe you should take a break. It really is the fun that matters most, and if you feel you can't really have a good time until you lose weight, then do that. Don't voluntarily subject yourself to feeling self-conscious and shitty.

That beings said, as long as you really do try to hide the bad parts, 95% of people just will not give the slightest of shits. Yeah, you're going to run into the 5% who get shitter-shattered every time someone isn't 100% accurate, but you'd have that 5% no matter what. If you were super thin and pretty, that 5% would be jealous bitches. Not everyone is going to like you, but if they really can't look past weight to be the very minimum of polite, then fuck them.

Read the thread, fat cosplay looks bad all the time, cause cartoon characters are not fat, is not an objective truth but the majority agree.
Show me a fat person that looks good cosplaying or not, you may agree that it looks good and so will a chubby chaser good but not the majority of people, Pic related I Googled good fat cosplay and all I got was images of funny looking landwales in costumes.
I was just giving my opinion, though I agree that if cosplaying makes you happy do it, but then don't cry and ask for opinions on 4chan.

This.

I've lost a lot of weight, I used to be over 200lbs, and I'm currently working on getting a fit body. But I'm doing this all for me, nobody else. Certainly not to become cosplay famous. It doesn't matter if you're 90lbs or 290. People will pick apart every aspect of your body no matter what you do, and especially if you are female. Go eat a sandwhich, stop eating and kill yourself already, get a nose job, because your nose isn't accurate, hurr hurr lost all that weight and you're still ugly, still fat!!! hurr

Haters gonna hate, no matter what the fuck you do. But if you make choices about your life for yourself (be it to lose weight, or just be happy with who you are now) and are confident in those choices, people's opinions matter a lot less and make a lot less of an impact.

Everyone wants to be liked, but you're not going to please everyone no matter what you do. So fuck em. Do what you feel you need to do to be happy with yourself.

Because fat people cosplaying or not looks bad, once again you may disagree and a chubby chaser may disagree but not the majority of people.

>>7146207
A lot of them are just chubby not fat. But I think that most would look bad irl without the Photoshop, now I'm not saying that thin people don't Photoshop either but their boobs would look saggy and the stretch marks would show just like pic related. But once again they are mostly chubby meaning they have curves not a 'curve' if you know what I mean.

Posting my favorite Psycho to go with your adorable girl! There are definitely fat/ plus size characters in anime and manga you just have to look for them.

Honestly as long as you are cosplaying your body type, and doing costumes that aren't showing every little roll and is tailored to flatter your body, go for it!

[Anonymous No.7146294]

I know this thread erupted into garbage a long time ago on both ends, but I'll add my opinion anyway.
I don't have any negative opinions about fat people cosplaying. Nearly any size, someone is going to shit on you for your cosplay, so live with it and move on. Usually the shit is something you can legitimately improve on and if you care enough, use it to better yourself. But if you choose not to that's fine, but it won't do you much good to complain about it on the internet either.
There's almost always a way to make your costumes flattering on your own body, so that helps too. A fat person squeezed into a costume that's noticeably too small for him/her looks just as bad as a thin person who looks like they're drowning in their potato sack of a costume. Just make sure your costume fits your body specifically and it's alright, imo.

>but I can't help but feel bad when I'm at cons, because i always end up thinking about how everyone is probably laughing inside when they look at me.
She gets the feeling and is selfconscious because she knows she does not look optimal in her cosplay that is why she is trying to loose weight.
>Why is it so goddamn important to you that the "majority" agree with you?
I don't pretend that, just stating my opinion as I said before, not my fault people get defensive and mad, and I have my opinion because I have my standard I once had a BMI of 24 and felt disgusting in clothes it was not aesthetic, once got to a lower one I felt better looked cuter everything was good with the world, and everyone should strive for a healthy weight.

You are asking me to change my attitude and opinion because it hurts the feelings of heavy people that need a change in their eating habits, if that does not sound rude and defensive of you, I don't know what does.

[Anonymous No.7146334]

>>7146312
So again, you don't know people were actually looking at her. It's equally likely that she just felt self-conscious because that's how people tend to be. Not everyone feels great about themselves regardless of how they actually look.

And obviously it is important that people think that the majority agree with you, because you've insisted it multiple times. And people aren't jumping down your throat just because you don't find fat attractive. It's that you seem to have so much damn venom for them. It's just not normal and really unhealthy to harbor that much resentment at people that haven't actually done anything to you.

Look kids, this is one of the most stupid self fulfilling prophecies I've ever read. I'm 32 and there's not many friends and acquaintances I have who don't have a medical issue of some variety.
Some of my thinner friends have type 1, and my best friend who's been underweight a good majority of her life has a hip bone problem.
A guy I was close with from high school who did track and cross country has cardiovascular issues, and another girl from my cheerleading squad has scars from nose rot because she got into some bad drugs.

I even have high blood pressure. It runs in my family. I do cardio five times a week and have even done things like substitute my breakfast with a cup of cheerios and some water. It's difficult to keep it in check. Bad shit just happens to people when you get older, it doesn't matter if you're fat or thin.
