Not sure, I've been made fun of for being lightweight. People picking you up for whatever reason. I think I haven't been discriminated for my weight though.

[Windseeker 546]

Oh yeah all the time, since when did people started judging one's merits by how much they weigh? Or how much food one pointlessly consumes...

[SilverStarApple 849]

Eeeyup. Worst part is, I'm not fat, just stocky. Solidly built. Very little of what you see on me is fat. I'm just not Supermodel-thin or EdwardCullen-thin or Bishonen-thin.

[LordDiscord 289]

Yes, I have unfortunately had to deal with this for a good portion of my life.

[Legacy Dash 439]

Nope.

 

I'm like a stickman, skinny as a twig.

 

I could probably be used as a lockpick.

[DJpon-3 56]

Almost all the time by my mom.

She likes to constantly remind me how fat I am despite having two children and barely eating enough as it is.

It kinda hit me hard because my sister is much thinner than me and in my opinion, prettier too.

[Moonbacon 384]

Well i get mocked by my family from how thin and tall i am i have been called a giraffe and ostrich by them -_-.

[Discordian 6,015]

Not to my face, at least. I've been told that the fact that I'm overweight might contribute to my ability to get a job though since I don't have any muscle on me so doing any sort of heavy lifting jobs for long periods of time wouldn't work so well.

 

Although I specifically want those kinds of jobs to help put some muscle on me. The only time I ever get any sort of exercise is at work. I have other things to do when I'm not working than to build muscle...or at least I used to think so until I found out people might not be hiring me because of it.

[FlutterScream 180]

I've been discriminated on that on several occasions among other things. But I just learn to let it go in one ear and other the other and not care about who is treating me badly to my face or behind my back. Being Wiccan/Buddhist, I basically let karma do its job. I've no reason to harass anypony in any means and those who do me wrong are the ones who are going to suffer.

[Zekromic 1,054]

yes, most of my life, it's been less than a year ago that I starter exercising that I lost a big deal of it. Thank you Dashie, AJ and Flutty for that

I have had the occasional person make fun of me for being overweight but I am sure there was a lot more behind my back than right in front of me as when I was in middle school and high school I tended to tower over most of my peers. I have a bit of a gut but am otherwise fairly muscular, to put it simply I have had a football players build since late middle school.

 

 

It kinda hit me hard because my sister is much thinner than me and in my opinion, prettier too.

I don't think thinner equals prettier, I keep hearing all these women say they are fat when they are perfectly fine. This one I know personally had to go the hospital recently because of malnutrition and overdoing it with too much exercise and not enough rest.

[Zhortac 1,475]

Ever since I was a child. Now a days, I just don't give a rats ass if anyone has an issue with my appearance. But alot of kids today have such a wide support factor across the globe, when they have issues they get picked on about. Me? Didn't have that kind of luck.

[Anilewe 2,178]

Yeah, especially when I was younger. I have a tendency to be overweight, but not serious. I have a fairly normal figure in general, not overweight, not underweight, just... normal. But the girls from my school have always been rather small, so there was a noticeable difference between them and me. 

[Scootalove 10,689]

I'm a bit skinny for my height, but I've never been discriminated for my body weight. Instead, I've seen a lot of my peers discriminated in my school for their weight. It makes me sick.

[StarSwirlTheBearded 356]

No, I'm normal weight.

 

Pro tip: if you're fat, lose some weight!  There are many, many benefits of doing so.  I am under the impression that lots of people around here are overweight (stereotypes!).

[Khaoios 1,970]

Well, I have seen this happen before, (im not overweight myself, but all i can say is try to exercise and stay in shape).  Now, i don't discriminate people who are overweight, but I find it rather inexcusable.

[Ribbonfree 2,384]

I'm thin and girly for a guy my height but people don't seem to care. If there has been discrimination, it hasn't been to my face.

[deadprofile 1,123]

I am considered overweight now (in fact teetering on being obese depending on the doctor). I have even been teased for it. But, I wear baggy clothes so actually it's hard to see the muscle I do have. I am 190 lbs, bike 10 miles a day, have done more weight training than sports guys, and went from 120 skinny toothpick to a muscular chick weighing 160 in 2 years (which is considered overweight).

 

I have gained some "marriage" weight (you always gain a bit when you get married), and due to health problems and the inability to keep up my bulk, I have gone a bit flabby. I am actually struggling to "lean up" my muscle because it's become so hard to maintain, even though I already have a 1200 calorie diet, and do a lot of working out. 

 

 

When i get teased, I just show them my biceps and challenge them. I beat guys all the time arm wrestling, but that's what you get for taking on a blacksmith

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

Yea, I spent most of my time carrying around a 27 lbs machine gun, along with 70 lbs of gear, plus the body armor and the 400 rnds of 7.62 big boy nato. Got told I was "to built" to be a bouncer at a local club. Apparently they thought I would scare away customers.

[Antismurf9001 1,271]

Discriminated against?  No, but people like to joke about how ridiculously skinny I am.  It doesn't really bother me, and I'll even join in on occasion.  I've seen other people get discriminated against though...

[Static Electricity 729]

 

This is kinda a huge issue in the world and i just want to know, fellow Bronies, have you been discriminated for your body weight?

 

 

Korth Norea is a huge issue. Somalia is a huge issue.

 

This, is not.

[Violet 37]

Well, if hair fits into this, then yes. 

My hair is naturally curly >n<

And so I got badly bullied for that. My sisters, family, and ex friends have called me fat, I mean, I know I am, so they don't need to tell me. When I tell my boyfriend I'm fat he said he doesn't care. I love that about him. That he doesn't tell me I'm not fat.

Oh; body weight. Silly me. I only read "Have you ever been discriminated for your body" Ooh this makes so much sense!

No! hurt feelings are a huge issue! We need to stop right now, and ban meany face words, stop airlines for forcing you to pay extra for the risk of going over the weight limit it can handle in order to fly.

[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638]

I am really skinny. My honest weight ranges from 98 pounds to 101 or 102. I am only 20 years old.

 

All through High school, I had people ask if I was anorexic. No. Not even close. If you could see the way I eat, I have some news for you. I practically eat like a cow. I LOVE to eat. Even when I am not hungry. I just have a VERY high metabolism. I have always had trouble gaining weight. This goes for my parents. They are stick thin...so...where do I get it from? I do, however, wish I could gain a little bit more weight so people can quit asking me.

 

All my friends and random people always came up to me and was like "Wow, you are skinny" or "Omgshhh you are so skinny, how do you live?" or "Man, you are tiny, put some meat on those bones!" Its...SO..ANNOYING! I cannot gain weight, first off, and how I live? I eat....A LOT thank you! 

 

No, honestly, I think being called "Too skinny" is just as bad as being called "Too fat". Its rude. If you are gonna call me skinny, you better make it a compliment or say my body is nice,because I get the fact that I'M SKINNY! 

 

People these days
