if people are sad or depressed about being overweight I feel bad for them. Even if it's not related to a medical condition - people indulge themselves for emotional reasons, and good luck dealing with those. the only person i wouldn't have empathy for is somebody who is eating and drinking just because he loves to eat and drink like a kid let loose in a candy store - and then is angry or upset that he/she is overweight.

the VAST majority of obesity is all lifestyle and diet related, yes some people have a propensity to be overweight, my sister was like that, you can see in her baby photos and when she was a little girl, she didn't eat any more or exercise any less than her friends or me yet she was a chubbster. And when she was in high school she really let herself go, stress of being a teenager made her reward herself with the comfort foods, and her two best friends were also heavy girls, all popular, the funny goodtime girls, but obviously no boyfriends, my sister was the girl guys came to for advice - and then she went to college and realized it was now or never for her and she dropped god knows how many pounds, she turned into a petite cute girl. For the past 25 years she's never gone back to being obese, but it's a constant struggle.
