I know that can be said about so much stuff. But weight loss seems to have it so bad. For example thumis down below. As so many of these people are hurting people trying to get healthy and what type jack ass complains when big ppl go to the gym. People are like ha ha fat guy needs to work out or eat better. Then you see them clown big ppl working out or having a salad

Eat less calories then you burn per day.

As a guy whos spent his entire adult life in a ton of different gyms all across New England, ive never once seen someone make fun of a fat person at the gym. Its literally the opposite, everyones like fuck yeah, good for you dude/girl, let us know if you have any questions about machines or technique.

This. People want fatties to lose the weight

Usually everyone's too focused on their own routine to bother you.

Plus 85% of us were them at one point, making that uncomfortable and embarrassing first trip to the gym to try and turn their life around, when really that should be treated as the greatest achievement of your life, and in the gym community it usually is.

fat people are one of the most socially acceptable groups to be openly repugnant toward, because a common belief among people is that bullying works when it comes to obesity.

That said I don't think the OP video is showing a common attitude. Way more often people are happy seeing a fat person work out because it validates how they broadly treat and view fat people. That fat people hold immoral qualities like sloth and gluttony, so they deserve abuse not just to help them stop being fat, but because fatness is a visible indicator of inferior spirit. So when a fat person is seen trying to lose weight, it's viewed as an acknowledgment that they're bad as they are, rather than simply a health benefit. (Obviously there's also plenty of people that are just happy a person may feel empowered to go to the gym and are getting healthier.)

Over time though it is going to become much more widely understood that obesity is a disease especially as treatments improve.

Huh, guess I shouldn't be lifting according to that guy. Guess he never saw some of those big power lifters who have some meat on them and can most likely lift more than that guy.

Fat people will always be an ok target to so many people, sadly.
