Fat Acceptance Movement / Fat Girlcows

[behindyourightnow]

So "Body Positive" trips are just like regular trips but for fatties where they wear more revealing clothes? Seems like a waste of time to me. You wanna travel? Then travel. Who the fuck cares?

It's likely for people who want to get out and do group tours but don't want to be humiliated when they need to sit down and rest every five minutes, while everyone else in the group slowly grows to hate them. Personally I am all for it.

Honestly on outdoor trips like that there is always one incredibly fit couple who stands around looking smugly impatient while all the other people rest, so I could understand wanting to avoid the extreme version of that

Yeah but that's like five minutes of walking then half an hour of sitting down to cool down, have something to drink and eat and then continuing on.

It's still better than nothing. And the pain that half a day of light walking causes might be a reality check for some of them. Give me but I've heard ex-fatties talk about similar moments of clarity.

the only ones that works on are the ones who don't have their entire existence revolve around being fat on social media.

Honestly this doomed to fail idea would be better off if they leaned into handicapped accessibility more than the fatties. Just tack them on as a bonus.

I hope there's, like, an anorexic or othorexic who is recommended by their woowoo therapist to go on the "body positive hike". A really skinny and/or potentially super well-conditioned person goes and everyone else is morbidly obese. It would be peak comedy to me.


Maybe it is marketed more for social media addicted deathfats, idk, but really, "body positive" and "shame free" spaces also seem popular among normal women 35-55 who are merely the typical American 20-60lbs overweight/obese. "Shame-Free" yoga and aquarobics/pool classes are incredibly popular in my area. I think pretty much every yoga studio and gym I know offers something like it. Even the superfuckingexpensive boxing/MMA studio in town runs a group called "fighting for fun" or something, that's designed for people who don't want to deal with shredded roidraging competitive types.

TLDR;

You could argue that the popularity of special classes for those unable to withstand the unaccomodated reality of the activity is, well, a bad sign for the state of Americans' health. But more people being unhealthy leads to a market for things designed for unhealthy people.

(This is also how I open my buisness pitch for WALL-E hoverchairs.)

To be fair there probably should be a casual class like this for many different sports activities so they also don't take up the time of more serious people who want to be actually competitive. Not every hobby should be super serious or brutally hardcore.

Yeah except the majority of the people taking these trips are addicted to being victims.

In admitting they need to lose weight it means they're ultimately responsible. And most fatties we make fun of here aren't willing to take a shred of responsibility for being fat.

Man, regarding massages, I hate how they except to receive services at the same price as everyone else while refusing to acknowledge that all their fat makes those services more difficult to perform and so they SHOULD cost more for them, if they’re performed at all.
Thinking of those who screech about medical discrimination when bariatric surgeons have BMI cutoff limits. Like you think the surgeon shouldn’t be allowed to say, “this is dangerous for the patient and too fucking arduous for the staff and we’re not doing it until you prove you’re capable of helping yourself even a little bit”? How can that be perceived as unfair?

Spoiler: Anecdotal evidence

Further, my BFF is a massage therapist and has totally unprompted told me how morbidly obese massagees make her job harder. The tables only go down so far, and that leaves her to have to use all her pretty negligible body weight to get in deep enough without the leverage you’d get naturally from the person/bed being as far beneath you as they should be and it’s exhausting for her.

They don’t seem to think about these things at all and just act like it’s as straightforward to reach tissues buried under an inch of fat as it to reach em when buried under 10 inches of fat.
Just an insanely inconsiderate attitude to have toward professionals that really rattles my chain

I'm transfixed by "apron belly/B-belly" Lindsey. She has such a pretty face and a normal body except for the giant swags of gunt hanging off the front. Her whole TikTok is dedicated to gunt management strategies. Anyway, never having dealt with a gunt that develops a suppurating rash every time I take it camping, I'm curious what are the two prescription-only topical gunt shmears she got from a dermatologist? I'm guessing a molybdenum disulfide industrial grease and MDF-500 military-grade antimicrobial spray? Maybe she can install some kind of cantilever beam to allow for subguntal airflow.

EDIT: God damn that's a weird body.

Could be familiar primary lipodystrophy. Ironically means that the "thin regions" just can't store the fat that should be there. There's a few weird fat distributions related to it, and this is one.

Basically they have a problem with lipotoxity and "magically" lose fat in certain body ares ( the fat just can't keep stucture, often ending in crazy high blood lipids). It predisposes to diabetes and such, but not frank obesity. If you look it up, many people with FLPD are thin. So she's playing with genetic fire by choosing to eat this much, causing mass inflammation, severe diabetes, etc. In a way, she's ironically ACTUALLY a "lucky thin", body just erases fat and calories! It just only does so over part of it! (it isn't lucky in reality, comes with consequences like huge inflammation, but I'm sure the fat envious bitches would call someone with a serious genetic disorder "lucky").

Spoiler: rambling about exercise for the fat or lazy

It's not just fatasses that these kind of places appeal to, though. There are a lot of people who aren't even fat but just old or deconditioned who haven't done an actual sport or even stepped into a gym before, and are too intimidated to try because they have not got the foggiest idea how and where to start. They're afraid, perhaps rightfully so, that they might get in peoples' way, injure themselves overdoing it/doing it wrong, or otherwise make a total ass of themselves because they're so out of shape and/or clueless. These people have always existed, and were the reason shit like Buns of Steel, Richard Simmons, and other very basic beginner friendly routines you could watch on VHS and follow in the privacy of your own home without specialized equipment were so popular back in the day. Lots of people were pretty sedentary in the 80s and earlier but in today's day and age where the internet/streaming/vidya can provide the bulk of one's entertainment and literally anything can be delivered to you affordably, I agree that it almost has to be worse, so even dumb shit like very low impact calisthenics or water aerobics or whatever is probably enough to have a tangible positive impact on a lot of peoples' health, fat or not.

A good example of this would be the popularity of Wii Fit and Wii Sports. It was probably a joke to serious gym people but did a fantastic job of being fun and accessible to anyone, the examples I remember off the top of my head were that it was encouraged for soldiers deployed in the Middle East to play it because it was at least an extra bit of physical exercise compared to when they killed time with Call of Duty or whatever, and it being extremely popular in retirement homes to get some of the old folks exercising safely without resisting, refusing and bitching the whole time.

This is anecdotal, but I've heard quite a few fat or out of shape (skinnyfat?) people say that they'd really like to try certain activities or sports because it looks like fun, but what turns them off from trying is the expectation that joining something would consist of parts of practices/classes dedicated to general fitness shit they really don't want to do. Like running laps, burpees, that kind of thing. Now, a lot of activities really do require some type of conditioning to participate in the "fun" parts without fucking yourself up, but if it's possible I actually think it's a decent idea when possible to host activities for rank beginners that just stick to the fun part and if people are so out of shape that they suck at it, so be it. So you know what, fuck it, I won't even snark on the deathfat hikes, though I reserve the right to change my mind if it turns out they do something *really* fat and end each session with a trip to Golden Corral or some bullshit like that.

Anyway, thread tax time. Decided to check up on our old friend Bekah. If anyone was wondering, she is still fat, depressing, and posting nothing but photos of herself in her underwear with the rictus grin trying to convince herself she doesn't hate how fat she got (or punishing herself with humiliation for how fat she got). I somehow doubt that anyone expected any different. However, I'm damn near convinced she's actively pandering to fat fetishists now. I know people say that about deathfats all the time, but searching her screen name turned up a result from some fat fetish forum on the first page that I'm assuming she knows about, or maybe has one of them in her DMs. Why do I think that? Well, being fat and half naked isn't new for her, but some of the videos she's posted since she got on the fat fetishists' radar are just... really over the top in exactly the way only fat/humiliation/feeder perverts would appreciate.

Watch the video clips if you don't believe me. Her socials have plenty more similar posts, but grabbing a few highlights is about all I can stomach and I think you get the point. The stuff that seems fairly NSFW (for caution's sake, all of it) is under the spoiler. (I don't use social media or even really know how to archive it properly so don't mind my boomer ass method.)

Spoiler: Islamic Content warning

Not sure if her boyfriend is still with her, didn't see anything mentioning a breakup outright but she hasn't referred to him at all either. If she's still in a relationship, would her significant other really be okay with her posting this? I don't think she started out flaunting her fat ass to try and attract a man (or a woman/nonbinary/tranny I guess since she's so ""queer"" but lmao let's be real), but she does have obvious zero self esteem which means it wouldn't be hard for some fetishist to exploit this by flattering her in DMs until she can be easily convinced to post prime jerkoff material. I could be totally off base here, but I really don't get why she posts this shit and that reason seems as plausible as any.







Here's the fat fetish page that came up as on of the top results searching her username. I didn't go digging any further but if something like this is right on the surface level, I'd expect fetishists to probably be posting worse at whatever part of the internet they go to discuss this stuff more privately.

Everybody needs some kind of... hand holding when it comes to working out for the first time. You don't know what you're doing so you either do too much or too little or just do the wrong thing.

But that shouldn't be a roadblock to you trying to exercise to at least get your heart in proper working order. And yes workout tapes can be a good thing to get you started. None of that matters however when these people insist they're healthy and that losing weight is somehow equal to the Nazis.

 

[I call shenanigans]

Forget which lolcow it was, there was someone that got their doublechin removed, then got fatter, leading to them having this weird little round baby roll around their chinline in a way you'd never see otherwise.

I suspect you are talking about Fat Alex, aka Learning To Be Fearless, real name Alexandria Rodriguez. She also ended up having a plus size tummy tuck, then Gastric Bypass, (yes in that order) and has been regaining weight like a mofo. Trying to conceive currently, so that tummy tuck is likely to to cause some fat distribution issues as well. Mind you, she surely has enough income to pay for revisional plastic surgeries if ever does manage to lose weight or to have a baby.

The most popular drug in the US is a weight loss drug, it's the closest thing we've had to a "magic pill" ever and its popularity is astounding.

If your defining “popular” as popular requests from patients, I might think that has merit. As far as most prescribed, then statins win hands down. IME statins are weight gain tablets, as they increase blood sugar levels among other nasty complications like inflammation.

Don't insult those children with the comparison.

"Hope you like it" I DIDN'T.

 

[Falcon Sebben]

Yes, it's a moment. The most popular drug in the US is a weight loss drug, it's the closest thing we've had to a "magic pill" ever and its popularity is astounding. It goes counter to 90% of the programming coming from FA influencers about big is beautiful, confidence, taking up space, being comfie in their bodies and so on. Poof. So much for all that.

If you want to call Lipitor a weight loss drug it's like calling Prozac a weight loss drug. Sure you can, and will, lose weight if you change how you eat but a lot of these people actually gain weight while on Lipitor and Prozac.

As far as most prescribed, then statins win hands down. IME statins are weight gain tablets, as they increase blood sugar levels among other nasty complications like inflammation.

Every drug has a side effect regardless of why you take it. The side effects might be small or they might be big. It all comes down to you, your body chemistry and what other drugs or foods you're taking.
