Fat Acceptance Movement / Fat Girlcows

Funny how these conditions seem to exist mostly in countries that consider 30 oz servings of soda acceptable. What gender is this thing anyway? He looks like a middle-aged Mexican cat lady but sounds like a teenage boy. Must be one of them newfangled genders; in which case, serves you right for messing with your hormones, weirdo. PCOS affects only women, so I guess female to male trap? I can’t believe they’re wasting pharma-grade steroids on these degenerates.

That said, hypothyroidism and PCOS don’t make you into a landwhale. They can cause some weight gain, but if your diet is in check, you might even stay skinny. Even if you don’t control your diet, you should gain like 10, 20, 50 lbs in the worst case scenario. There is no disease that makes you 400 lbs.

April gained 2 lbs for the entire month of November. She keeps making excuses for herself. "It was a good month, I was living my best life. I shouldn't be too focused on numbers. I've been obsessing over numbers ever since my appointment with the fertility specialist that told me I need to lose 90lbs to get a referral".

"I'm not on a weight loss journey. I'm on a life journey."

"I could go on a crash diet, and get 7 or 8 miscarriages, and then what?"

"I have not binged. When my husband and I eat out, I always make the healthiest choices."

"I'm in a rut of letting the scale dictate my happiness."

At some point, April addresses her husband who just goes like "I agree with absolutely everything you say."

This whole video is just pure cope - I recommend watching it. The level of self-delusion is through the roof with this one.

If you're a fat alcoholic, that just means you eat too much and don't move around enough. For those who didn't know, calories from alcohol are not actually absorbed in the body (as alcohol is literally a poison). It's the mixers and greasy food you're downing on top of the booze (or before drinking). And because alcohol is both a stimulant and depressant, that means your hunger increases when you drink, especially if you drink on an empty stomach, and mix it with weed.

that's not true. the energy content (measured in calories) of alcohol is used just fine by the body.
ethanol is first metabolized to acetaldehyde (very uncomfortable substance that is responsible for hangover symptoms) which then gets further metabolized into acetic acid, and that is later broken apart so the resulting acetyl group can be used in the citric acid cycle for energy production.

this process doesn't always run to completion for 100% of the alcohol people ingest, because some of the intermediate products can leave the body (through urine) before they get fully metabolized, but in general people will absolutely absorb energy from the alcohol they consume.

Gigi Hadid has hypothyroidism which just throws the weight argument out the window

That video was something else. She admits that the realisation that she needed to lose quite some weight to even be accepted for fertility treatment sent her into a downward spiral. And I can understand that that made her feel hopeless and worthless, it's reality hitting her right in the face. But it's insane that she still cannot accept that she just needs to EAT LESS.

The purest cope, lmao the only options in April's mind are "slow and steady weight loss" aka a plateau because she isn't eating a deficit or a crash diet where she starves herself and all the babies she desperately tries to plug herself up with die instantly.

 

[smallmilk]

I wonder if April understands that the diet is forever. You can't just eat a certain amount of calories till you get to your goal weight, you have to keep eating within that range for forever.
I feel like if, and that's a big if, she ever goes down enough to get a baby she'll explode in weight again.

 

[Rasputin's Side Piece]

So, April has already decided that if she goes on a real diet and hits any roadblocks it will send her into a spiral of weight gain. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Why is it a choice between "crash" diets and ultra-slow "sustainable" eating? Why can she not modify her eating to lose weight more quickly-but-reasonably, and then gradually modify it to sustain her new weight?

So, I know that I am preaching to the choir, but Weight Watchers works if you follow it. It is not a crash diet and it can conform to your ups and down situationally. You can choose to eat "bad" food and spend calories elsewhere, while learning good choices.

IF she would just change her self-talk and tell herself that it isn't all or nothing--that she can restrict herself for a time without blowing up when she reaches her goal--perhaps she could actually reach her goal without all this grief.

And I can pretty much guarantee that if she does manage to lose the weight and get pregnant she will blow up again, because that is what she believes. Those fertility treatments will play havoc with her weight as well.

TL;DR: She needs to cut calories but that doesn't equate to "crash" dieting. And sorry, I am sure this has been said here before.

ETA: And...pretty much ninja'd by @smallmilk

It doesn’t matter how healthy your food is, fatty. Calories are calories. Normally I’d say it’d be pretty hard to get fat eating apples, but I’ve seen things on the internet. There’s also a big difference between a crash diet and eating above maintenance. You lost weight because you ate less and moved more. Now you need to lower your daily food intake and up the exercise even more. After a while, you’re gonna have to lower it even more. Your body doesn’t need as many calories now as it did when you were 100 lbs heavier.

I'm sure your scale isn't very happy to see you either, sista.

April's really been filling the fatty lolcow void in my life and for that I gift her

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

April has the most horrifying "smile" I have ever seen. It's just disgusting.

Stop assuming that food has anything to do with weight!!!

Seriously, though. How do people become this delusional. I’m not even asking to be funny. Like even a small retarded child with no understanding of nutritional science or calories can sus out that food is in some way a contributing factor to body size. How do these people go so far into outer space that they forreal believe that food is not a contributing factor to their weight. It’s so weird. When people say fat acceptance is a cult. They aren’t kidding. Because it takes some DEEP brainwashing to convince people their food intake has nothing to do with their weight.

Like others have already said, PCOS doesn't make you fat. It makes losing weight more difficult, and fucks with your hormones, but it doesn't make it impossible.
Lipedema is impossible to lose with diet alone (We've all see the anorexic lipedema patient photos by now), tumor-weight is the same.

"Only" having PCOS makes you comparatively lucky.

Female with PCOS now taking testosterone.

I haven't said anything because I am so late coming into the discussion, but her delivery is so stilted and odd. Her smile is so fake, and it seems as though she doesn't like for her lips to touch her teeth or something.

I dunno....can't put my finger on it.

 

[Lobster Farmer]

Do you all remember that weirdass fashion era in like the early-mid-2000s where hideously unflattering super low-rise jeans were in style and they made anyone over a size two look like a burst kielbasa.

I feel like those pants provided a gentle push towards anorexia for any woman (or girl at the time) who was pre-disposed to body loathing. They only stayed up by creating a muffin top. Even if you were skinny, they'd find your one fat deposit and sink in. Ultra low rise jeans are coming back into style among the Bushwick nineteen year olds and we millenials are gripping our mid and high rise jeans in fear.

 

[NoReturn]

Lizzo is being a disgusting stalker again.

Bekah being defeatist.

Also, if you're wondering, the voice is Disney's special text-to-speech for TikTok they released last month. It's also where that Pooh audio came from.

Spoiler: Pants!

This gay guy on TikTok and I both agree with you.

I regret forever pressing 'play' on that Lizzo clip.

Fuck, that woman can't carry a tune in a bucket.

A popular HAES talking point is that fat people can move around and be physically active just like a skinny person. Whenever anyone points out that they never see a fat person doing physical activities such as dancing or running a marathon, HAES activists like to point to Lizzo and claim how she dances AND sings at the same time, and she's just as good, if not better, than skinny singers. Checkmate, fatphobes!

Except... every single time I see any videos of Lizzo at a concert, she isn't dancing, not really. She's moving, but it looks stilted and slow; a more accurate description would be that she's lumbering. And every time I hear her sing, she sounds terrible and breathy. This clip is the worst one I've seen so far. She's sitting a lot, hardly moving at all, and yet she looks and sounds winded.

The argument has always annoyed me, because even if it were true that she is a great singer and dancer despite being fat (lol), just think of how much better she would be if she was a healthy weight.

That gay guy gets it. Those jeans existed solely to showcase the flat stomach you were supposed to be exposing under your crop top. Oh also so many whale tails out and about (i.e. the back of the thong underwear hiked up above the waist of the low-rise jeans).

If zoomers want low-rise, I say curl that fucking monkey’s paw and let em have low rise. Millenial women are *supposed* to be old enough not to give a fuck what the children find fashionable and yet here we are. Growing up never was our strong suit, I suppose. The tone this “looming fad” has taken is a little hyperbolic, honestly. It’s not a hurricane, guys. Don’t eat yourselves out of your current leggings-as-pants and high-waisted jeans and you’ll be completely unaffected. It’s not like we don’t have The Internet where you can buy as many high-rise skinny jeans as your heart desires.

The youth is a whole lot fatter now than they were 20 years ago. If you lived through the early aughts, this isn’t gonna look like Britney and Paris and Chistina wearing denim on the runway. It’s gonna look like sausage bursting from its casing, all the time in every direction, by the time this fad runs its course *again*.
