As long as you're happy and not in any serious health problems don't give a **** about what anyone else has to say xo

If you're fat and happy great. If you're fat and sad, try and fix it. Just werk whatever

But being overweight increases risks of issues?

Doesn't help that my mother makes the same comments lol and she's not so easy to avoid Also I've tried numerous before but it's incredibly hard to keep yourself motivated when you're on your own in a room all the time. I would love a buddy who wants/needs to lose weight as well and we could team up and work together but I don't actually know anyone who's up for that.

Ah right yeah fair enough. I hate doing anything at home because of comments (not even necessarily negative). The only way I can keep any real "motivation" is usually watching TV, i.e. taking my mind off the actual exercise. At the end of the day regarding weight, food/calorie consumption is the most important thing to factor and speaking from personal experience, I wasn't able to escape the overeating habits until I no longer permanently lived at home.

Yeah, of course it isn't a definitive factor in being overweight, just a contributing one. Similarly, there are also conditions which make it harder to lose weight. Thyroid issues for example can make the process of losing weight a little bit harder. No where near impossible, just harder.

Motivation is the hardest part of the process I think. Being laughed at for wanting to lose weight doesn't help either. I used to go running with my little brother before uni started and I'd get laughed at even though I was a lot skinnier than I am now, because I'd jiggle a little bit more than he would. It just becomes embarrassing.

Lauren just bought an exercise bike and I'm trying to reduce dairy in my diet, so I'm drinking soya milk etc. Baby steps.

Thyroid issues are literally the only thing I could think of and it's not a whole lot from what I've read.
Baby steps indeed, anyway.

Until it's having a profound effect on your health it shouldn't be an issue, as long as you're happy

Smoking is detrimental to your health but that shouldn't mean you should stop, do whatever you want

That's really short term thinking and arguably selfish (depending on the person's situation), but whatever floats your boat.

I am all about loving yourself and being who you are, so I somewhat agree with @Jurv; - as long as you're happy, it shouldn't matter what other people think. If you're unhappy, do something about it. At the end of the day you are responsible for yourself, so let people do whatever they want. I'd like to point out that not all overweight people are unhealthy, and not all skinny people are healthy either.

What bothers me is when people promote unhealthy eating - yeah it's attractive and sexy when a skinny girl eats junk food, but completely unacceptable when it's an overweight person eating it; "yeah I'm fat but I'd rather spend my life eating pizza than salads"... that kind of shit.

If people are teasing you for exercising, just ignore them and use it as motivation. That's what I do anyway! I know it is easier said than done, but hey if it was easy everyone would be fit!

Arguably, the bolded text is false. There's probably lots of studies supporting this, but this is the most recent I saw.

I don't disagree that being overweight may predispose one to health problems, but there is a difference between being overweight and obese (which seems to be the main focus of the article), and it seems silly to make a blanket statement about everyone on the spectrum, especially as the study population consists of only young men. Therefore, what I said may in fact be technically correct. Arguably.

What you said may be correct, but there's far less evidence to support your claim, so it probably isn't.

I said not ALL overweight people are unhealthy. Technically I need only provide an example of a person who is overweight but healthy to make my original statement true.
