Another one: Are overweight people lazy?

Zenya

someone interpreted the poll results below to mean that 10% of people think overweight people are lazy.  I think the number is probably higher than that.

I voted yes, because I'm overweight and its because I'm lazy. If I would get my arse up and do more I'd probably lose this weight.

Ditto.  I'm not considered "overweight" anymore b/c I finally stopped being so lazy.

I wouldn't say lazy but rather generally depressed or too focused on others.  I've been fat & thin & I've never been accused of laziness...If I was lazy I wouldn't have 3 small children or a Master's degree in what I do--LOL!

Maybe lazy about diet and exercise-but not necessarily lazy in life (does that make sense?)

I worked with a girl who was always on the go...full time job, 4 kids, tons of activities, major involvement in their religious organization-she was pretty much the opposite of lazy.  But, she was overweight b/c she didn't watch her diet or exercise for various reasons.

some are, some aren't.  And I know plenty of skinny lazy people. I don't really generalize with that.  There are so many things that influence weight.

This is me exactly so I voted yes.

Exactly! I'm too busy to workout/cook good meals, so sometimes its fast food-and that is a way to gain weight FAST.

Exactly.

ditto to PPs.  I voted yes because when I was fat I was too lazy to get off my fatt @ss to exercise. 

i know make the time to exercise 3-6 times a week, and have lost 30 lbs, and am no longer over weight.
