Real Talk: I've Hated My Body for 18 Years, But I'm Learning to Love It with These 3 Lessons

To provide a counterpoint to all the asspats she's gotten so far, I posted this comment:

Wait a moment, if the author is complaining about not wanting to be seen as fat, couldn't simple diet modification and exercise address that? She's right that appearance is only one aspect of who we are as people, but she sounds awfully proud of having not taken the best care of her body. The reason being overweight is considered unattractive in our society is because it's unhealthy, and the fact that a swelling majority of the US population is falling out of shape is a serious problem that articles like this sweep under the rug. You don't have to be super-hot to be a decent human being, but obesity should not be glamorized any more than a smoking addiction or AIDS/HIV.

EDIT: Author responded:

Thanks for your comment, [TyrannoNinja]. The point I was trying to convey isn't that I don't want to be seen as fat by others—it's that I don't want to look in the mirror and see myself as worthless because of my weight.

Your statement that being overweight is considered unattractive because it's unhealthy is something that's repeated over and over again by people who want to pass off their fat-shaming as concern. Frankly, I find it both condescending and uninformed.

I'm not going to give up on trying to love myself just because it makes you uncomfortable, but hey, thanks for stopping by.

I'd wager most FAs don't want to deal with the real reason they are fat and unhappy (spoiler alert, it's themselves), so they blame the world at large and double down on denial.

Yes, it's a selfe defense mechanism against realizing that being overweight is terrible on your body and mental health..
I say, we start a new Fat acceptance movement, this being the only fat movement we should accept.

Guy getting fit = good.
The fact he appears to be trying to wear skinny jeans to the point his fat is trying to grow overtop of them = not so good.

It's very telling when even on Tumblr you're considered whiny and annoying.

So I see TITP still believes that the medical field is the Skinny Man's Illuminati.

That's Tumblr in general, but in different ways when talking about any medical issue. The self-diagnosers think it's a Doctoral Illuminati, TITP/HAES think it's Skinny Man's Illuminati, the tucutes/transtrenders think it's the Cis Scum Illuminati, etc.

Denial, denial, denial. The term is cardiac hypertrophy, fatties. Obesity is a huge cause for it.

That's what happens when people fatshame you, it causes your legs to develop necrosis! It's totally not your fault though! It's the evil doctors who won't give you the right treatment because they can't/won't treat someone who is fat.

I'm paying attention to who he retweets and who actually bothers to reply to his horseshit.

I looked at this Tommy Santelli character and look at this shit.

He's on Tumblr too.

What in the fuck?

I dug through some of Tommy's Tumblr and he does blog regularly on it. Just as whiny as red3blog in some of these though there's a lot of these reblogs in between these.

Let me guess the "literal lies" were telling the GP that being as fucking fat as this asshole is is bad for him.

Seriously, these fucking fat tards seriously think their doctors are trying to murder them, cause them to die by somehow actually giving medical treatment. Again, they just became doctors to murder people apparently.

This is what fat fucking idiots actually believe.

Seriously, fatasses like this are why stuff like that fatpeoplehate subreddit existed.
