The number overweight people at swimming today

I went swimming today with my 3 children. I am not exagerating to say that well over half the children and teenagers were overweight; some were seriously obese.

It really was noticable. Girls as well as boys. Anything from age 4 to 14.

Okay - at least they were exercising but I was really shocked.

I'm fat at the moment and I already know I am. Can't you just enjoy your own body and let other people get on with living in theirs?

Would you judge this much if you saw a thin person sat in a fast food place. Probably not. Have no idea with the obsession of judging people who are overweight. Its disgusting. I'm pregnant and have only put weight on my bump. Have always been thin normally so my arms and legs look tiny in comparison and I can tell when I walk down the street that people are judging me.
I'll be going out less and less the bigger my bump gets. I can't help the way the weight sits on my body but its people like you that make me not want to go out

Let it rest in peace.

Yeah diminish any enjoyment of exercise by your judginess! I am sure that will help get rid of the 'fatties'.

I don't like my local pool full of gas from those that are that smug they like to smell their own farts!

I am overweight and I use the gym, I also use he weights there, there are women there that are toned, strong and on society's eyes perfect, I'm fat, pale and sweaty and I've also rubbed one of my eyebrows off, so I care no. I'd also swim, not actually bothered because I am in there doing something making changes one sweaty step at a time.

I don't think the OP was being offensive tbh just stating that kids now a days from a young age are overweight but this would not be seen 20/30 years ago as most children played outside and walked every where, we are in a lazy age now.

For anyone not RTFT this is a ZOMBIE THREAD from 4 years ago.

No way!! Fat people exercising? Wow. No. It's not on. They should just stay home and not exercise so they don't offend everybody else with their fatness. Just awful.
Hmm

Do you know how many overweight people avoid gym, bike riding, swimming and exercise in general because of crap like this?

Oh I completely agree op, fat people should really just stay indoors with the curtains closed at all times to avoid the sensibilities of thin people who want to exercise in peace!!
By the way, which pool did you say you went to again.....just so I know to avoid it?Confused

Maybe they're still in the pool and their skin has gone all pruney, and they're thinking 'whenever someone reignites the bloody thread it means we're stuck here for another year'.
