"Fat people are indiscipline"


Don't let society choose for you.

When was the last time I blogged? Months? It's gonna be hard for me to blog consistently because I'm starting to study already. I'm sacrificing some of my free time right now cause I think this topic is worth blogging about.

My title, "Fat people are indiscipline" is actually a quote by one of the Star Newspapers writer. She wrote an article about "No benefit in being fat". It pissed tons of people off and it actually went international. That's how serious it got. Unfortunately, the article was removed off the internet and I didn't get the chance to read it. It was actually a topic discussed on Business FM today (I had no choice okay, my grandpa doesn't like hitz.fm, pssh!)

I agree and yet disagree to that statement. Why do I disagree? I don't think you can judge how discipline someone is by their size can you? A person can be very discipline in his/her work or whatever it is and yet choose not wanting to be fit. There are some people as well who actually cannot control their weight due to medical problems. I heard on the radio that some medications actually cause you to be fat or you're born with it. Shocker right? Didn't know it was possible. And why do I agree? Well, when you want to maintain being fit, it takes a lot of discipline. You gotta bring yourself to exercise, eat clean, resist all the tempting food, make sure you exercise consistently blah blah blah. I can personally relate to this because I'm a person who believes that everyone should not be overweight or underweight but have a healthy BMI. It's difficult for a person to do this because well, you needa be darn discipline especially to be consistent at it.

Oh the author also mentioned that most of the CEOs are fat people and their neck not visible (meaning like triple chin or something). Partially true, because most of the CEOs I've met are well, a little round. Okay, you're a CEO, you're rich, you don't give a shit whether you're fat. "I have money bitches, who cares!" True true but in my opinion, I think CEOs should be presentable... It gives a good impression doesn't it? You see this average sized man in a suit and you see a round man with a suit, who would you have a better impression of? Obviously the first option. Yeah we all say, well don't judge blah blah blah. But really, let's be realistic here, who in the world wouldn't judge? We've been brought up in a society that has already set on how people should look and be. You see a fat man, eating like a shit load of food, what do you think instantly?.... Exactly. And yeah social discrimination, she discriminated "fat people" on newspaper. You idiot, on newspaper?! It was pretty shallow of her to say things like that.

Oh, she also said that fat people are dishonest because they lie about the amount of food they eat. Well, a lie is a lie... Everyone lies, so it makes everyone dishonest, no? The author, I feel, just wrote her thoughts out. She didn't use the right words and she judged fat people straight away. She made a huge mistake because when you write these sort of things and publish it, people will punch you in the face man. She kinda reflects what society is, "judgmental" no? But regardless, I feel everyone should try their best to stay fit because it's healthy for you. And I have to agree that there is no benefit being fat. Be big because of muscles not fats. Sorry if I've offended anyone but this is just what I think. Thanks Y'all! :)
