Question: Would you stare if a fat person was....?
If you were at the gym would you stare at a fat person exercising.? I think that's horrible. Would you ever do it. My friend was talking about how gross it was. All I could think was you're a major jerk...they are obviously there to get healthier. I would like to know what you would do if you saw a large person at the gym. :] Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Never! And I hope you told your 'friend' what you thought of them for being so mean. Remind them that the 'fat' person is actually making an effort to get in to shape and they should respect them for that instead of being an immature prick.

That would be awful. Anyone at the gym, or walking, or anything, that's a great step to getting healthier. My whole family is "big" and rather unhealthy, but I'm a health food and exercise addict and am tiny (possibly as a result). I'd try to make friends with them, just like anybody else I saw at the gym. Fat people have just as much of a right to be healthy as thin people do, and honestly, if you have the opportunity to be staring at other people while you're working out, you need to rethink your priorities.Health Question & Answer
No.
1. Im fat
2. Im there to work out,not make fun of people
At least they are doing something about their situationa and trying to improve themselves. If anything, I'd be more likely to stare at someone who looks obviously emaciated and still doing the maximum cardio

I would think, "Alright! Good for you!" Then I would try not to stare. If I did, it would mostly be because I would be feeling insecure. It is too bad your friend thought it was gross. At least the person was doing something!Health Question & Answer
I think the major reason that only slim people are working out at the gyms is because anyone that really needs it - is stared at and make fun of..that is the society that we live in. Sad, but true.Health Question & Answer
Personally i just ignore everyone at the gym. But yeah I would say your friend is a jerk. If I did see an overweight person at the gym I would be happy for them because at least they are making an effort to get into shape.Health Question & Answer

Tell your friend he is a jerk and the next time you see fatty at the gym give them a smile and maybe a word of encouragement.
Fat people are entitled to live their life and shouldn't have to hide away just because other people (like your jerk of a friend) don;t like the look of them. The fact that this particular fatty chose to go to the gym at all should be commended as they obviously would be way out of their comfort zone and are trying to improve their health.
