knee pain,

Knee, hip and foot pain are bad enough, without the sleep aponea, diabetes, and other metabolic health issues. Unfortunately, unless they lose weight and are confronted with the difference, they won’t realise the damage their gluttony does to their health. All the HAES/FA folk are so indoctrinated into the cult that says weightloss is hopeless, that they won’t try, so will never understand the health benefits.

One thing I'll never be able to comprehend: isn't being this fat physically UNCOMFORTABLE for these women?

Like no I'm not talking uncomfy~ in their appearance. I'm talking like, thighs and other lard areas rubbing together and creating friction and chub rub and rashes, sweating easily, getting overheated easily, feeling bloated and puffy, feeling so HEAVY doing ANYTHING, being slowed down, knee pain, etc.

It just looks so miserable in every way.

Not to PL but whenever I gain a bit if I'm off my game it feels VERY noticeably different and I start getting physically uncomfortable almost constantly. Really do not know how these deathfats do it. They must live in some kind of deep denial/doublethink reality.

Have you ever had an injury that lasted so long, you barely noticed it until it stopped hurting, and then suddenly you realize how amazing it feels to not be in that pain? They've never had that release. The weight is gradual enough and the pain started small and long enough ago that they probably couldn't tell you exactly when it started.
Sometimes, if it's chronic enough, you don't physically feel it most of the time because your brain blocks it out. However, this vomes with a reduction of attention span and memory, i.e. being kinda spazzy and all over the place.

...and a Barbie branded top, of all the things. Almost certainly purchased this year as part of a consumerist response to a movie, which itself celebrated a toy brand

Fats rarely seem to hold onto clothes, partly because of quality, but also because they keep on out-fatting them.

Realistically, I'd wager most people buy a lot of fast fashion regardless of size. However objectively one size is going to be purchasing and overconsuming more food, usually over processed, plastic covered garbage designed to make them crave even more....

Found this entertaining little article I wanted to share. A water park had to enforce a 300 lb weight limit on a ride:

Key point:

It's a temporary weight limit anyway - "As a result, TSSA said, it issued an order requiring the total weight limit on the slide be temporarily reduced from 600 pounds to 300 pounds, "until the park owner can complete an engineering assessment and testing of the ride to determine a safe total upper weight limit." TSSA said it will follow up with an inspection to confirm the maximum capacity."

They're enforcing it for extra safety, but apparently it's worth a whole article about.

She’s responding and agreeing with the above comment and expanding on it, claiming thin people are more prone to buying and discarding fast fashion, which is certainly not endemic to thin/normal people.

If this sow is worried about consumption, as she sits in a trendy checkerboard acrylic knit cardigan no doubt purchased from one of those same fast fashion retailers, perhaps she should consider all of the plastic food wrappers she goes through, how much gas is wasted on DoorDash orders, and consider the impact of her own overconsumption and hyper-materialism, best seen in her t-shirt advertising a plastic doll for children.

One of the nice things about being normal sized is the ability to get quality clothing from thrifts and vintage shops. 100% cotton Levi’s, wool sweaters, quality coats— not easy to find that stuff at size 26. I’d argue obese people put a greater strain on their clothing and thus go through their items faster.

obese people also keep sizing out of their stuff, necessitating new purchases constantly. they can't wear something they bought five years ago.

Fats rarely seem to hold onto clothes, partly because of quality, but also because they keep on out-fatting them.

They often out-fat them, but even when they don't, clothes wear out a lot faster due to the stresses of being worn on a fat body. Rubbing between the thighs and under the arms, strain on seams and stretch fabrics, additional pulling as the biggest deathfats struggle just to put clothes on—even if they try to take good care of their clothes (which, frankly, most people don't know how to do any more), those garments are doomed to fall apart a lot faster than they would on a normal-sized person.

Oh, and let's not forget being ruined by food stains, because not only do deathfats eat more, and more often, but eat faster and take bigger bites, which means they end up wearing it. Chantal and Anna are both known for this, and in Anna's case I can't help but wonder how many garments she throws away just because of food stains.

"It's not that simple"

It literally is though. Mending worn deminm is super easy if you have basic sowing skills.

Granted Fash is fat so she would probably bust through the stitching.

Since we're sharing fat people trying on clothes, i figured i would share this...
This is one of my personal cows.
When i saw this post come up on my stories i was in shock!
This lady is trying on dresses but they fit her like a shirt!

How fucking deluded do you have to be to think wearing a dress as a shirt is okay? And again the constant need to call this "cute".

There is nothing cute about being a 500 pound landwhale.

Someone should add "I cant breathe" into this.
Besides Snoop is right. If you sit on a couch with your oxygen tank and that couch looks live a v because of your weight, you need to put down the fried chicken.

Worse enough, Dave's closest confidants are encouraging this behavior which is leading to his demise. His team posted a video of him in the hospital (again) and hooked up to oxygen (still). They gave him a cake to celebrate 1 million streams of his song "The Cup." He ate it:

Being put on an oxygen mask is quite a sign that his health is critically in danger. But obesity can also cause cognitive decline. This is pretty terrifying that people continue to abuse him for their own gains.

At this point I don't think it really matters. He's not giving up the cake and the damage has already been done.

Sometimes when mizmoose doesn't post for a few days I expect that she's probably dead, but no, she's just working on some stupid post.

Every "cure" for being fat isn't selling health. It's selling being thin. Body size does not determine health.

Medicine is slowly coming around to the idea that the only reason to have weight limits for surgery is doctor bias. Study after study has shown that while there are slightly higher risks for post-surgical infections after surgery, general long-term outlook is the same no matter the patient's weight. Informed consent should always be a part of any surgery and a fat patient needs to be informed about this, the absolute risk (as opposed to the relative risk), and how it will be handled should it happen.

Ragen Chastain has an article on how to fight BMI-based medical discrimination which might help. It also might help to look for doctors who practice weight-neutral care who would be willing to help fight for you to get the help you need.

Sure, they do fine, if they survive surgery.

 

[Miltank]

Why would surgeons purposefully lose a patient & the profits from them if there's no real reason except them 'hating fat people"? It makes no logical sense. I love how the comment skipped over the main risk for obese patients; anesthesia. You know, probably the most complex and skilled position in a hospital. So they're in on it too? It's not because they don't want the patient to die, they all just have a personal vendetta about fat people for... Some reason?

Sidenote: reminds me of a British version of a obesity show, Fat Doctor UK maybe? Anyways the doctor (great guy with amazing bedside manner) telling a patient his risk of surving surgery was 50/50. The guy burst out crying. He ended up going through with it since he knew he'd die without it anyways. Luckily he survived it, tho forget the outcome afterwards.

It really isn’t. Sure some Gender butchers and unscrupulous plastic surgeons will ignore BMI limits, but reputable surgeons and anaesthetists won’t, unless there is an emergency need to operate.

There are all kinds of considerations beyond safe anaesthesia that come into play, like surgical equipment, hospital furniture, whether the hospital has a 24/7 staffed ICU etc. Then there are issues like hardware used in joint replacements, and their failure rate when subjected to the force of excess weight piling down on them. While different orthopaedic surgeries will have different BMI limits (generally the lower in the body the hardware goes, the smaller the BMI requirement, eg foot <30, knee <35, hip <40), the orthopaedic hospital in my state, won’t take patients who weigh over 150kg/330lb, because that’s the weight limit on their operating tables. High risk heavier patients have to go to larger teaching hospitals with ICU’s.

Morbidly obese patients in general require a higher level of care than most other patients, often requiring a longer period of recovery. They place extra burden on the health system that these HAES influencers simply won’t admit.
