Women who wear too much jewelry. (Do you need a ring on every finger?)
Women who wear too much perfume. (I can smell you a mile away, and don't get me started if it is the cheap stuff.)

OP, I don't really judge overweight people, label-less clothes, or regular non-designer bags as long as the style is attractive. Then again, I am not a skinny rich DC chick. I'm well-off and like my designer bags but I still "look up to" some of the thin "put-together" women who are skinnier than me. I am 40 lbs overweight and I wonder all the time if those thin women are happy? Do they feel deprived? Do they dream of food? In my heart sometimes I hope they look at me and are a teeny bit jealous that my hubby likes the extra junk in my trunk and I don't watch every bite I eat and I am happy (despite being overweight!)

I think 7/9 17:07 gave a solid response to the OP, but I like this approach with the "I judge" list...

I judge really obese people carrying junk food. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt though... "maybe it has a low-cal something in it." or "maybe they're on a serious diet and this is cheat day." But a little voice in my head reminds me this is probably not the case.

Similar to 7/10 15:01, I dislike when women wear a dozen cheap gold Walmart rings on their fingers

I judge people when I can see their plumber butt crack, booty shorts, when they're wearing track pants and giant t-shirts and look like they haven't showered in days

I judge 40-50 year old mothers who dress like their teen daughters. I wonder what their issues are.

I dislike Coach, LV, Prada, Gucci etc...logo handbags. Half the time it's not even attractive. Why do you need to carry a bag covered in LOGOs? You know where you got it. Why does the whole rest of the world need to know? Maybe that's a distinction between tacky women and classic women. The need to be flashy about it.

You obviously have no style because just because you have something with a logo on it (i.e. a chanel turn lock) certainly does not make you "flashy" or trashy because it s classic style one likes. I hate the printed logo bags but I also do not lump everyone into the "you are flashy and have no class" category.

But that's not really much exercise...summer and much of winter, not possible to do that and get back to work and look immediately professional. Me, I stress eat salty things when I get home and drink a glass or two of wine to unwind...that+ no real exercise means am 30 lbs overweight. Eat great the rest of the time, veg, fruit, modest portions, low carb, high protein.

So my hat's off to those who manage this and stay slim--go ahead and judge me, I'll bear up (and try to do better!). But I wonder whether adequate leisure time is a necessary part of thinness, unless you have super genes?

I have four kids and a full-time job. While we don't look after an elderly parent we do have a dog. So each day I walk the dog for 20 minutes or so. I eat lunch at my desk and am lucky to have a job with flex hours. So I can totally work from 6:30 to 9:30 at home. Go work out, shower, get to work, Work through lunch (eating at my desk), and then go home.

Sometimes I stress-eat also, but I buy foods for that. A mixture of nuts, stone fruits in summer, oranges or apples in winter, etc. The dog-walk is my unwinding time. Or, I'll get home and do 15 or so minutes of yoga after work, with the kids talking at me and crawling all around. I do not speak during yoga, and the kids usually wind up trying to do it too, which is cute. Hope that helps.
