Why are people so obsessed with their weight?

it dont matter wats in the out side just the inside if you agree replye

agree

totally

Im afraid im going to have to disgree dont get me wrong I dont just go on a mans looks but the first thing you look at is a person looks. everyone want to look and feel good

weight

I agree, but everyone focuses on looks...which is pretty sad.

I think a lot of people are concered on their weight cause when your meeting someone 4 the 1st time or people are just looking at you on the street they cant say o she/he is a nice person because they have never meet them... so sometimes people who dont no you just have to rely on your apperence... but yes I agree tat it matters wats on the inside rather then the outside

being someone who is obsessed with their weight, I can say that I'm so concerned about it because of everyone else. honestly that's what most people think about first..looks. I wish it wasn't like that, but that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon

Well what you look like has a big impact on what other people think of you. People judge you within the first 5 seconds of meeting you... in that five seconds you tell me what they're judging you on. Plus looking good and staying in shape makes me feel good, I can't speak for everyone but I think there I speak for more than myself. There's more to me but that is apart of who I am too... my body is apart of who I am and I have to take care of it just like I would take care of anything else like an illness, or keeping my mind sharp by reading or something. Keeping my body healthy keeps everything else about me healthy, and I'm at less risk for a lot of other things later on in life. So there are a lot of positives to watching your weight and staying in shape. I'm not saying you have to be a stick figure or anything like that either though.

It is true but sadly people judge people on their size...like to become an actress most people look for the thinner type

~sad

sum people are afraid of being fat and made fun of

well, the main reason SHOULD be because you should care if your a healthy weight. and, its nice to look good

im guessing you havenever been big...?im 13 and I weigh 160 and I am really big and like many other people I want to look and feel good about myself!thats why people get obbsessed...but some people are just idiots.my friend weighs 60 and thinks shes fat!

I agree. I used to be obsessed with weight..now I just want to workout to have a good body. lol
