Allow me to break it down for you, list of reasons why we hate happy fat people. Top reason, you make it seem "ok" (and sometimes even better) to be fat. You don't acknowledge the health concerns, the physical limitations, or anything negative. It's just "look how happy I am today and I'm fat therefore it's OK to be fat" mindset that stops people from getting help.  Disagree. They always make it seem better. As seen in the myth that normal sized human beings only eat half a grape skin every third day and sip on water. We're not allowed to have fun because we have to be at the gym every waking hour that we're not working and the gym can't possibly be fun.  Even if you don't intentionally hurt people you are still a burden on my day. You take up too much room on the sidewalk WHILE walking slow, so my choices are wallet slower than I'm comfortable with it walk all r way around you if fit traffic allows me to. You have to have the room temperature way down because "I can add layers but you can't take them off". Public transportation seats. Handicapped parking. The gym. There's almost no area or place that you being fat didn't immediately alter my day to be worse.  Agree. They make my life, and the lives of those around them worse.   Your demands. I HAVE to find you attractive. I HAVE to think of you as a sexual being. I HAVE to treat you and your situation like a special case even if it means more expense to me somehow. I HAVE to honor, love, accept, AND ignore your fat simultaneously.  Agree. The phrases "Honur muh curves" and "Nevar tuch a lady's fat" are diametrically opposed and real ladies don't have fat like that. I don't know what sort of doublethink this kind of shit requires but it's more than I can handle.  Someone who may be slightly overweight could look at you and think that being fat isn't bad and decide to give up.  Disagree. Someone who is slightly overweight and decides to give up doesn't do it because they see someone screaming about how happy they are. They do it because it's easy, convenient, and the path of least resistance.   You are in my face with it. Happy people tend to be happy in their own world. When fat people are " happy " they seem to have to shove it in everyone's faces to get their happiness validated instead of just enjoying it.  Agree entirely. The need to shout about their happiness from the mountain tops makes me suspect very strongly that they're trying to convince themselves harder than they're trying to convince others.  No one believes your are really, truly happy.  See previous point. If they were truly happy they wouldn't have to jump up and down to prove it. When someone is actually happy, it radiates from them. They don't need to shout it out to the world unless they're ridiculously happy because they just got good news. Every day can't be Buy One Get One Free Triple Cheeseburger Day, so there's no way they're that happy all the time.
