I am overweight few kilos and i admit that it my mistake and my weakness will lead to health problems. Not in million years that i will accept it that Its okay to be a fat. This new trend of being happy and acceptable of what you are is dangerous and too weak. I have seen corporations now taking in models for clothes who are fat etc. 

Call me old style but humans who are on wrong path must be given a continuous jolt and encouragement to loose weight or any other issue. 

Just note that Bullying or calling names is not right and very wrong. 

I just feel like we focus on fat too much. We aren't living communaly. Big boys and girls aren't eating the clan out of rations. 

I find Ahankar, Kaam, Krodh, Lobh, Moh, Haumai, lying,  playing nice, having ignorant thinking, being selfish all far far worse than somebody who's dragging too much weight around. They're already experiencing their burden. If somebody is close to you, yeah help them get fit, but really its largely none of our business and just an easy target. 

Billionaires are the real fatties. Sitting on wealth, decreasing the velocity of the currency, going to sleep on billions while billions go hungry. Fat people don't effect the food supply for others greedy people do.

It gets deeper than that. Just a couple of weeks ago, a childhood friend of my brother passed away from a heart attack. He was always overweight and leaves children, and he weren't that old. 50 odd. 

So it impacts around.

Absolutely bro. That's why we should encourage them to be healthy, functional,  and eat well. 

I'm just saying in terms of what people pick to pick on others for, it's way down the list. 

Being big claps your heart out early, especially if weak. Live long and healthy all just saying don't pick on fat kids,  pick on people with influence who misuse it and the truly morally reprehensible. Encourage and include fat kids in your games and training. If a fat kid was ever first picked for kick ball they'd still be playing it. Fat shaming breaks people young is all.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
