"I'm empathetic and respect overweight people who are working to lose weight" Heard a friend say that the other day. FUCK THAT. You hate until they reach a healthy weight range. Because TRYING for most fats doesn't mean they are really trying. It's normally all a pathetic show... "I'm trying soooo hard but this weight just isn't coming off."  Or they're on some weird franken-food fad diet 100% destined to fail.  I do not respect fats for trying to get in shape. I only respect them if they actually do it.
