You may notice that when you find yourself judging other people, you're projecting your insecurities on to them. To call someone "fat" or "ugly" is to express that you yourself struggle with the fear that you are "fat" or "ugly." Take, for instance, the ones who preach against domestic abuse, homosexuality or pedophilia only to participate in it themselves. Those of us that are passionately against a "thing" are very likely suffering an internal struggle against that "thing."
The reason people speak out so strongly against people doing what they do is because the "speaker" sees them self in the others. These "speakers" are internally humiliated, ashamed, and concerned for their own well-being. This humiliation, shame and concern is the motivation that leads them to speak out against other people who openly display the traits that the "speaker" is experiencing internally.
The moral of this observation is that when we judge others, we are judging ourselves. Notice this the next time you find yourself judging. Look for your true motivations.
