Is it normal that I don't really understand why so many people care if their overweight or underweight. Why do people feel like the body that they have needs to be changed because it isn't 'normal'! No one is normal, their is no normal, so why do we strive so hard to get a 'normal' body? And why are people so judgemental of people who are smaller or larger. We say 'Fat people are disgusting' and/or 'Skinny people are disgusting' why do we think that because someone else has a different body shape then us that it's disgusting. What makes one body better then another? What defines a beautiful body? It frustrates me to no end!! Is it normal I feel this way.
Oh and I'm not saying that if you are overweight/underweight to not try and get healthy I'm about 20lbs overweight and I am eating healthy and working out but it's for me, it's for my heath because both my parents have type 2 diabetes and I have a long history of cancer in my family, but I just don't believe in say losing weight to get 'skinny'. Sorry for the long speech I'm not good at saying what I think in few words.

2.you are more attractive
What is it that you do not get?
That being said, yeah, you want to be healthy at the same time. The point of doing this isn't just to look good but to feel good as well. Some people have body image issues and do it in excess and that is due to faulty psychology and consumption of media as well as social pressures (because some people just don't fucking understand that skinny and healthy are not always synonymous and there is a limit, not to mention that every female is built differently), but some of us do pride ourselves in being able to have some control over the way we look and feel.
I'm naturally of average weight and I do what I can to maintain it because I like the physical freedom that comes with not having a protruding stomach or huge thieghs. It's all about feeling comfortable in your own skin, and some of us are just not comfortable with or not built to successfully carry extra weight.
And when I say that fat people are disgusting I'm talking about extremes. I love slightly chubby women because they got curves and their weight is still within a healthy limit. However, being extremely fat to the point where it's obvious you're overindulging is not healthy, it's not ok and you should lose weight. You're no better than a heroin junkie. Not to mention your version of withdrawal (stomach pains from not eating) are a lot less painful than heroin withdrawal (fever, vomiting, pain everyone, barely capable of thinking).
What I'm saying is that being fat is not ok. It's an epidemic in the US and you're abusing a vice just as much as any other addict.
Oh and the big difference between losing weight and heroin is that you can go your whole life without heroin once you get off it, but with food you need food you can't just stop eating, well you can but you'll die.
Aswell when someone is extremely obese they sort of have a hard time finding that hope that it will come off. For me I have 20 extra pounds I wouldn't mind losing. But for my parents for example both of them are over three hundred pound my mom in the low 300 and my dad in the high. The bother have around 150lbs to lose and it's hard to see getting down when you are so high up. All I'm saying is I don't understand why people are so judgemental of fat people, they just assume when they see a fat person that they are disgusting and 'they should lose some weight'. But what they don't realize is that that fat person has been trying for 3 years now and that he has survere knee problem that hinders him from doing much exercise.
