Somehow I don't mind this chick, she's attempting to do something positive for fats. Grabbing a pillow and doing some deep breathing whenever they feel a negative emotion is legitimately good advice, a lot of fats have probably never thought of a coping strategy besides eating.

FatSelf is the same one who does the belly liners. She's kinda cool in that she's actually walking the walk. It's not necessarily healthy, but she's doing what other fatties claim to want to do but never actually do.

They are hiding and deleting any negative comments on the spa thing as the supporters realize they have been scammed and cannot refund via indiegogo.

Sure, give it a read. The figures were included in a study attempting to help curb the weight regain in patients. Mayo Clinic also did a summary of the totals in an overall article if you just want an easy recap mentioned in the study itself. Then there's this one as well, which has a couple different calculations, some by weighted mean, but one explicity shows "Weight loss at 20 years (N = 35) was 30.1 kg, 48.9%EWL and 22.2% total weight loss (%TWL)." Which had a pretty good sample size. Resurgery was also a high probability. Not as much now as the study itself says, but it's still a high chance.
I'm sure there are a lot of great success cases, but from the numbers I'm personally seeing (please feel free to explain to my otherwise) and also everyone I've personally known that has had some form of WLS, the ultimate long term for a large doesn't seem all that promising. I suppose 22% is still better than none, I just think fixing those bad habits and addictions for good (especially early before they reach 400lbs) should always be the first route. Of course it's becoming harder for even doctors, at least in the West, to say you're sick because you're so fat, that WLS may end up the only way to go since therapists these days seem more about validation than fixing problems.
Edit: @NoReturn
I appreciate that about FatSelf as well. She doesn't seem like a giant complainer, she seems pretty proactive in trying to find some sort of resolution to her problems, even if that doesn't involve getting healthy. She's at least trying.

Spa has gone completely quiet and is deleting any questions or comments pointing out that the fundraising's real goal. There is barely any activity at all post ending fundraiser.

I wonder what the PR spin is going to be on this one from them once they get out of panic mode.
Unfortunately I don't think any of these poor suckers could get their money back anyway, while yeah a lot of the advertisements didn't point out the obvious, the actual donation page made it pretty clear this was a fundraiser to pay for a future fundraiser on the roadmap. So there was really no excuse someone could make other than "I didn't actually read what I signed up for".

I'm not seeing any evidence that they're deleting negative comments; so far, the only negative comment I've seen (the one dummy who wanted her money back, on the most recent Insta post) is still there.
There's never been much engagement on their Insta posts; two comments is normal. Nobody's talking about this project anywhere, as far as I can tell, because nobody cares about it.

They deleted from one of the older ones a long back and forth of someone stating they refused to donate due to it not being something that was even partially in existence.

They don't want to be weighed because deep down they know their weight is a problem but they would rather stick their head in the sand and live in la la land. Protecting their "mental health" from hearing an uncomfortable truth is more important to these people than living past 45.
Also the doctor still has eyeballs, so these cards are useless lmao.

As obnoxious as the "fat liberation" movement is, I have to give this woman a bit of a pass.
People with dwarfism often struggle with obesity. Even very active individuals simply do not require nearly as many calories as average-sized people do. For this reason, it's sometimes difficult for them to consume adequate micronutrients without exceeding the number of calories they are able to burn.
Additionally, dwarfism isn't just unusually short stature; by definition, all skeletal dysplasias involve abnormal development of the bones, joints, and cartilage. Some types, including achondroplasia, which is the most common skeletal dysplasia, are associated with early onset osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease), progressive skeletal deformity, and impaired mobility. It's not uncommon for individuals with skeletal dysplasia to experience significant chronic musculoskeletal pain, and not in the "muh condishuns" way. This can make any physical activity very difficult or impossible.
The connection between achondroplasia and visceral obesity is poorly understood and seems to be much more complicated than a simple matter of smaller, less mobile people needing to eat less. Achondroplasia is caused by any of several mutations in a gene called fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). In addition to its role in skeletal development, FGFR3 apparently contributes to proliferation of adipocytes (fat cells).
Tl,dr: People with dwarfism, including this lady, probably can't help being obese.

It's official: nobody will ever convince me that Evie doesn't have a mild intellectual disability. All of the dudes she's been with, including Jeremy, are the kind of creeps who would sex a literal tard who is incapable of consent.

Yeah, after watching her for a while and reading her blog posts, my guess is she's about an 80-85 IQ—too functional to be declared incompetent or get a tard wrangler, but deficient enough that, when faced with difficult circumstances, she can't reason well enough to see how they are of her own making, much less get herself out of them.
Most of our cows are some variety of Cluster B, where Narcissism plays a role—look at Chantal, who is only a few points higher, in the 85-90 range. But Evie, I think, is just plain dumb, with the poor impulse control, lack of emotional regulation, deficient theory of mind, and inability to problem-solve that goes with that.

That is fucking stupid. If your weight bothers you so much... lose it. It's not difficult to understand. But no it's much easier to just sit there with your fingers in your ears going "LALALALALALA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" then put down the Doritos and actually move your fat ass around for a bit.
