Obesity, particularly comfort eating, sure seems like untreated depression in a lot of people. If obesity now looks 'normal' to Yanks, maybe being depressed does too.

Little too real, my friend.
 
There are no problems with being fat. Hey guize, diabetes shredded my kidneys. Share my GoFundMe so I can get a transplant uWu.
Hey, just because type 2 diabetes overwhelmingly occurs in obese patients, doesn’t mean obesity has anything to do with it! Skinny people get diabetes too!

Also

Hey, just because lung cancer overwhelmingly occurs in patients who smoke, doesn’t mean smoking has anything to do with it! Non-smokers get lung cancer too!
 
Ragen has her own thread here. It's been rather quiet because she seems to have given up on the Ironman facade and is fading into fat obscurity.
I'm probably late to this but I've been seething lately over this video on Ragen Chastain who I first learned about years ago from /r/fatpeoplehate on reddit. Basically she's internet famous for lying about all these different accomplishments like running a marathon, weight lifting and even doing basic exercise. She was a proven liar many times by stuff like exif data on her photos and people going to events and seeing her cheat.

The Olympics clearly know she's full of shit, they're even letting her monologue about being into social justice, being an antiracist and being queer. It's peak clown world.

Plus, to the current online FA crowd (which skews young), she's old, dowdy, and uncool. None of them ever cared about her "fathlete" larping, and thanks to Covid her paid speaking gigs at colleges have dried up.

It's kind of weird, thinking about Ragen's heyday, which was 10-12 years ago, and all the other fatties who were at the forefront of the online FA movement then—Marilyn Wann, Fat Heffalump, etc. They're still alive and doing their FA thing, but they're all totally irrelevant now, and have vanished from the online FA scene. They're from the blogging era—before Insta, long before TikTok—and none of them even made it onto Tumblr or any other social media in any significant way. So now they're forgotten old ladies, even though they're only in their 40s and 50s.

It makes me wonder where today's crop of online fatties will be in 10-12 years, and what kind of online media they will have to adapt to if they are to have any hope of staying relevant.
 
Oh dear. Brooklyn has such a bad taste/style

She is not extremely fat. So I dont understand why she is so desperate for this type of attention.
She still could look sexy and hot.. but yeah... that would requemend dressing for your body type
Late on this one but I’m so confused here.
IMO she has a naturally pretty face and seems to know how to do her makeup well and takes time on it, but it seems like she goes out of her way to make her body repulsive and it’s uncanny.

Covering her face and then her body in a picture is a bizarre disconnect.
She’s not even fat by American standards, she just picks the absolute worst clothing for her body type and then orders it two sizes too small.
 
I guess I'm just wondering why she needs to be eating a pureed version of her "normal" diet at all, particularly so close on the heels of surgery. I'd think that she'd be fine for quite awhile on clear liquids, protein shakes, and a multivitamin. It just seems strangely...counterproductive to me that she's already laser-focused on pureeing her old favorites. It suggests that she's unwilling to endure even short term hunger, which has been her problem all along. If your stomach is still so tender that you need to puree your food, maybe you should take a break from eating for awhile. I'm an asshole, though.

Three whole months of a "behavioral program". Never mind, guys, I'm sure she's totally cured.

Edited to add that for some reason the quote is all fucky; sorry.
Went searching this morning for the doubting Thomas' posts following Alex's gastric bypass. In her latest post-WLS update she confirms for me exactly why she will ultimately "fail" her newest, shiniest surgical tool. WWs and every other diet be damned, Alex will be using "intuitive eating" as her diet/lifestyle guide. She really can't let go of the HAES/BoPo crowd....and this will be her eventual downfall. She'll lose a ton of weight for 12 months, get pregnant (and eat enough for at least two), and fail to ever lose the babyweight because she'll never change the way she eats, even though she will reduce the volume somewhat.

I know, right? It is kind of amazing the ageism of such a movement. I suppose it is because that is when their health problems start to catch up to them big time and the movement doesn't want to paint such an image.

I also notice that in the LGBTQ+ movement to some extent that you rarely hear about people past their 30s really have much of a voice either, it does make you think that it is a young people thing.

It will be interesting to see if the younger HAES/FA crowd have anything to say about Ragen once Julianne dies, which cannot be far off. In many ways, Ragen and Julianne are a lot like a near future version of Corissa and J. Ragen is obviously a raging (heh) narcissist, and has succeeded in completely isolating Julianne from her entire support system.

As far as the LGBTQ movement is concerned, I think the older crowd have vivid memories of real persecution, having to deny their true selves on pain of death, being kept from being with the person they loved. Now, they're content to just be what they are: normal middle aged people with normal lives and normal worries - a marriage old enough to feel comfortably worn in, maybe a kid or two, aging parents, a mortgage, the pedestrian aches and pains that come with growing older. They don't need to fight for every bit of dignity anymore, and when they do, it happens quietly, privately, in the voting booth or the living room instead of all over the internet.

I think that the recent upswell of micro-identities, which is especially apparent among the younger Millennials and Gen Z'ers has also played a part. When you are hyperfocused on how special every aspect of your identity is, it is tantalizingly easy to turn every slight into a personal cause. I don't think older people think about themselves the same way. We also weren't raised on the internet, and social media is much less real and pressing to us. While we use social media and participate in online communities (luv u, Kiwis ❤️), most of us still hold it apart from our Real Lives.

I remember seeing Fat Heffalump online a lot during the Shakesville days of the blog-era, (I think she was a mod there. I know she was a regular writer for that blog) and thinking even then that she was brusque and not a great face for a movement that was just coming out of the Kate-Moss idolizing 90's. Even then, it felt as if we were swinging too hard in the opposite direction of body positivity, but at least then you weren't inundated with people denying that obesity was at least risky, healthwise. I wonder just how much harder we are going to go into that opposite direction, and if the movement has any chance of literally dying out. (Or will it just forever be a factory of young fatties turning into old, diabetic, less online fatties?)

1) No, Beckah, fat people don't owe anyone else weight loss. But you owe yourself a healthy body that will live as long and comfortably as you can make it. I know part of the problem with so many of these young HAE's is that they are young, and have no real health scares yet, but these snarky replies to people who are genuinely trying to be nice (she even compliments Becks! And not in a backhand way, but a really genuine way) are going to haunt her later when she's in her 30's or 40's and staring at a mess of self-created problems.

2) I used to like Lizzo's music but her as a person is just trashy. Plus, check those shoulder ripples when she's doing her twerking in the yellow dress.

3) And finally WHAT IS SHE LICKING FROM THE CARPET? DO I REALLY WANT TO KNOW?!

If you're pulling a David Hasselhoff with your sugary drink it's time to admit that you have a problem.
 
What the actual fuck? Marissa's such a psycho:

First video posted 20 hours ago, recent screenshot is from a video 17 minutes ago... Yikes.
If I had old friends ghost me, I'd be angry and hurt, too. But you can bet your ass I'd engage in some serious self-examination, in which I looked at how my own actions or attitudes played a role in it, and why they might feel too uncomfortable to confront me directly about it.

People who care about you don't just ghost out of your life for petty reasons; they do it because something has gone wrong in the relationship, to the point that it's intolerable; they have no means to remedy it; and they don't see you as willing or able to change. Confrontation is either seen as pointless, or too painful, so rather than explain why they're leaving, they just go.

People do grow apart, especially in their 20s, and yeah, I'm sure that's happened here. But I'm also going to guess that Marissa has grown a lot more strident and obnoxious regarding "fatphobia" since getting on TikTok and finding an audience for her lecturing, and that her sexual antics (and the way she talks about them) are just too gross for her besties to deal with.

If she really is turning tricks and has boasted about it to them, that would be enough to drive a lot of people away. You can go on about how empowered and sex-positive it is, but deep-down, other women are going to know that shit is degrading, and a sign of how totally messed up you are.

And obviously, there's no talking to her; from her videos, you can tell she'd make any objections they had out to be personal failings, and issues they needed to work on. Marissa's got all her talking points lined up, and is ready to bombard others with them, should they question or object to her behavior—you think she's wrong? Well, she's got a lecture ready for you.

To try ending a friendship with Marissa with "a conversation like a grown adult"? It's going to be a very one-sided conversation, and I'm pretty sure her friends know that, and that's why they ghosted. That Marissa can't imagine any possible reason why they might do that, and has decided that publicly shaming them is suitable revenge, makes it obvious that getting the fuck away from her was a smart move on their parts.
