Many overweight people are highly self-conscious about exercising. They think that everybody will spend their workout time chuckling at the fatty trying to get fit.
The truth is that most people, who are working out are too busy to think about anything else other than their own workout and diet and stuff.
In fact, healthy people are usually glad to see an unfit person trying to make positive changes in their life and will help if they can.

Sometimes, it depends. The age group of 20-25 is usually split, and there is a lot of mocking and snickering. As I mentioned upthread, I used to be a personal trainer. I’ve never been “fat” (although I feel fat, if I ever break 180), so I only know what I’ve seen and heard. I’ve been training/exercising with a lot of young people (I was a trainer when I was younger), and there were a lot of jabs made. I think as conservatives, we’d like to hope there isn’t that kind of bias, but it simply isn’t true. However, now that nearly 70% of Americans are overfat, and nearly a third of the population being morbidly obese, there’s less and less skinny people to poke fun.
Americans are FAT there’s no getting around that. (like others you mentioned) don’t care how much someone weighs, as long as they actively try to be healthy. Not everyone is like that.

Not at FreeRepublic. Here, the fit people tend to make snide comments about those who are larger. Trust me, read down just a few from yours where it begins.
