Fat Acceptance Movement / Fat Girlcows

[Sarcastic sockpuppet]

Aren't Euros rapidly catching up to us Amerifats? In any event, they're mild in comparison to how you'd get treated as a fatso in Japan or Korea, IIRC.

Not really, like 35% of all american of all ages are Obese and 75% are just overweight or obese. Most americans are fat and getting fatter.

Euros, percentages and tendencies tend to vary a lot depending on the country. Britain is almost there, but in other countries it's way lower and the epidemic is slowing down (people are getting fatter but not as fast and not as fat).

Living in area where you can use public public transport may have a protecting effect against obesity since people will walk to the station and stay more active rather than drive everywhere.

I do think selling outdoorsy clothing in McLargeHuge sizes could be incentive for some homebody couch potatoes to get up and start pushing themselves as their bodies were meant to be pushed, but I can't help but wonder if it's really a profitable market overall.

There's also the matter of safety; I get concerned seeing some of these folks going on long, winding trails where it may be more difficult for emergency services to assist them should something happen. Amongst these types, there seriously isn't enough consideration given to the durability of emergency equipment and its operators on a good day. And knowing the delay that solving transport and care logistics might cause in a true emergency, every second could be a matter of life or death. So laissez-faire over the possibility of dying on a forest trail just to prove haters on the internet wrong!

Reading Gordon's concepts amuses me because none of these seem interesting due to the fact that being fat does not make you innately anything but fat. It doesn't make you inherently stupid and awful to make a compelling antagonist, nor does it give you a unique perspective on life that is so innovative and crystalline it must be taken into consideration in media; it's just being fat. What precisely does she consider so important about the impact of fatness on her psyche that it can be a basis for multiple stories?

Also, I love how vague "queer/trans love story" is as a premise. As far as I can tell, Gordon's just a regular fat lady hankerin' for a mister grown of generic Hallmark soil, so did I miss out on her having a gay phase or something? Or is this another example of fat liberal white women trying to get brownie points to offset the wretchedness of their white womanism?

I don't know, Aubrey - I feel like talking about calorie counting is a lot less stressful than being branded the mark of the beast by virtue of the uncontrollable circumstances of your birth. You'd really rather talk about how you're a wretched weaver of the kyriarchy and must atone forever instead of low-carb quiches?

Don’t know which thread to put this on but it’s the biggest success of fat propaganda, so.

I fucking hate seeing obeasts in every woman-focused advert. It’s disgusting and offensive. They look inhuman and stinky.

We’re supposed to believe this is a good thing and body diversity, but all it’s doing is normalising obesity. Even “curvy” women are normalising being overweight.

It’s at the point where average people perceive obeasts to be carrying a little bit spare, overweight people to be normal, normal people to be thin, and thin people to be offensively anorexic.

If BMI <18.5 models were banned to not encourage anorexia (lol), then BMI >25 models should be banned to not encourage obesity. The last thing these planets need is validation from seeing their own kind waddling around in shampoo adverts.

A lot of Brits are fat, but the planet sized people you get in America are still not common here. It’s more like almost everyone’s fat, but not American sized fat. Continental Europe is still much slimmer. Eastern Europe especially

Most Brits are fat (overweight) tho. Like one in 5 is obese, and 2/3 are overweight.
There is less of the giga-fat, morbidly obese people, true. Brits who are obese are less so than American who are obese but it's still really a lot of weight problems. But on the worldwide scene, it's clother to the situation in the USA than in for exemple, Holland, France... other similar Euro countries, but with less than 10% obese and a fewer percentage of overweight people.

 

[Clotso Coof]

There were very, very few superfats in America until the last 25-ish yrs. Before that, a size XL was a real XL, not a 2025 XL. When someone needed the fire dept to get them out of their bedroom, it made the local news station nightly broadcast.

Modern "large fats" would be shocked if they went into a fat girl store from the 80s and 90s. They wouldn't be able to fit into anything and the only other shoppers would mostly be over age 35. Clothing over size 3x needed to be mail ordered from weird catalogs like the infamous Woman Within.

Yo, god, if you’re real can you ensure these fat bullies die soon? Thanks.

Maybe lowercase g God would listen to you if you spelled His name correctly.

Original post

Just for you, boo, I've got a very special update. OP did find a hydration vest that she was able to buckle up. Well, she could close one of the buckles by sinking the strap deep into her sideboob flab, but it's buckled! And she DID run that marathon!

In ten hours.

Spoiler: Full caption

Did my longest distance ever and first marathon last week in 10 hours (flat course Across the Years). Learned a whole lot and left me wondering if I'm ready for an ultra and filled with lots of doubts.
Couple questions -
Is it possible to run 38mi race/27 hour cutoff in May 2025 (Cocodona-Elden Crest 38mi) after doing this type of marathon?
If so, what additional training would people recommend I do?
How do you prepare for up to 27 hours of time on your feet?
How do you stay awake at night and walk/run?
Do you sleep at night on long runs like this, and if so, how long?
How do you prepare for running at elevation 7k, when living at 1k? (cannot go up early to acclimate

)
Context - I have hiked/backpacked some of those trails, so I'm familiar with the terrain and the elevation gain/loss. I have 10-15mi and stopped after an 8 hour day on my feet. Which is why I'm all in my head analyzing / over-analyzing.
Pic of last week's finish

Now, she may have done it going slower than an average leisurely walking pace, but this heifer still hurpled for 26.2 miles. That is not nothing. She's got some endurance. But the answer to her question is FUCK NO, she is not ready to come from sea level and do a fucking ultramarathon in the mountains at 7000ft of elevation. Why does she need so badly to be able to say she did this? Why????

Or some bullshit like that.

Congratz on her for finishing a marathon! For real. I'll applaud that. It's tough. And she went slowly enough that she shouldn't suffer from runner's toe, even! Nice. But yeah, nowhere NEAR ready for an ultra if it took her 10 fucking hours to meander 26.2 miles.

Dont be such a mean negative Nancy. Ofcourse she can hurple an ultra marathon in her cApaBLe body. Pls let her try. Id love if she could livestream the event and @Diet Coke 4 Life could do a live commentary. Peak entertainment.

That is literally below average walking speed.

Average walking speed is 3mph. Sure after a couple miles you might slow down but if it took her 10 hours to go 26.2 miles then... you know she was pushing it for a fatty.

And the hyrdation vest just added extra weight. What she should have done is had a friend go up the way and hand her a cup of gravy every 200 feet so she could stay hydrated. What? There's water in there.

Mmmmmm, graaaaaavy.

Spoiler: Experience from races

So used to race a long, long time ago. We didn't have hydration support until you fucking finished, because if you weren't balls-to-the-wallin' your 5k race you were fuckin' sucking and your coach would plant his foot so far up your asshole you'd be a squeaky shoe for the rest of the season. This was racing in good ol' SoCal in September/October. Good times. Training was held in stage 1 smog alerts - run faster to escape the tasty, thick air (and get in the gym to have some wet liquid).

But sportives? Entirely different story. 5ks, 10ks and my recent half marathon runs have all had volunteer support. The 5ks had a hydration station every mile (grab yo cup on the go and try an' drink without disrupting your pace - it's fun!), the 10ks every 2 miles, the half had 3 total (it was an 'out and back' so it had one halfway to the turn around and at the turn around so effectively just about every 3 miles).

Hydration vests weren't necessary at all. Even the people who did the marathon distance at the last event our group did (I didn't attend - was doing an Imperial Century on the bike in mountains instead) had support every 3 miles, because their course was the 1/2 loop twice.

Oh, and no, they don't serve gravy. Just water. It'd be very intriguing to slather yourself in gravy while running, though. And comedic. But slippery so far as the pavement goes, and a huge liability for the event organizers.

I get hydration vests for unsupported ultras and the like. But this was a supported marathon - the extra weight was entirely unnecessary. Actually, the extra weight was necessary, because she was out after the time support stations typically close. Most sportives have a hard time at which services (like water and fuel stations) shut down.

And let's pour one out for the volunteers, Kiwi Brethren. They had to stay past normal volunteer hours. Typically all support stations for marathons close down at the 8 hour point, at which point they skeddadle. But those volunteers that are at the finish have to account for all runners on course, so they had to remain until she came in.

Considering her leisurely plodding pace, I'm sure a regular backpack with a couple water bottles would have sufficed. But if you buy all the fancy toys that real athletes use, that instantly makes you one of them, right?

 

[I call shenanigans]

I seriously doubt that @Diet Coke 4 Life ’s liver could handle 27 hours of commentary.

Ya know, thank you for looking out for me.

I'd have to switch between Diet Coke and hard liquor. I might survive. Might.

And @Greedy Fly you know that the swag is the only reason people do these events lol - swag for participating, and the consoomerism that must take place beforehand. I wonder how many new pairs of shoes she got for training/racing/off-days/sprint efforts (lol)/weight days/etc...

 

[Clotso Coof]

swag for participating

My local Goodwill is full of T shirts from 5ks and marathons. Fatties are out of luck, but normal size people can skip the race and just buy the T-shirt for 5 bucks.

 

[MerriedxReldnahc]

That's one of the reasons I stopped doing running events, I just didn't want another cheap shirt and a medal I have to figure out how to store. I can do the distance wherever and whenever I want for free (though I do like that a lot of the runs are for charity)

10 fucking hours though, holy shit. I never wanted to do marathons because I'd be bored off my tits running for that long of a distance. If you take deathfat phisiogamy into consideration, that's a 10 hours of pulverizing ones knees into a fine pulp.

 

[anon101x]

You know what is so fucking scary? Is that the fat acceptance retards are winning. We can make fun of them. We can laugh at them. And ultimately, we can only help ourselves. But I would be lying if I said it didn't make me sad.

According to almost all data america is expected to get fatter. I know there are blips here and there in the news about the younger generation trying to be healthy (and honestly good on them I might make a post about that later) but almost all scientist and data analyst and big brains report that it's going to get much much worse.

It's just amazing to me what an awful, awful obesity epidemic we are in and yet it's been silenced and not spoken about.

The institute for health metrics and evaluation, the national library of medicine, the American journal of managed care, the list goes on and on and on



We are completely fucked.
You can see it all around you. I know I am seeing more fat fucks today than I ever have in my entire life. They are literally everywhere. I'm talking (at least in my town) like 1 out of every 6 adults that I can witness with my own eyes are either overweight or obese. I highly doubt any of you guys employed don't have at least one fat fuck at work.

And you're telling me it's suppose to get worse? Wow.

Obesity is such a problem now a days that all those edgy teens/kids making tiktoks about being sigma and going to the gym and hard phonk music and all that? It's counter culture. Not being a fat fuck has actually turned into counter culture for the kids.

Goddamn I hate fat acceptance so much.

/end rant

 

[Otterly]

When did we start using overweight like this. Someone IS overweight, they don’t HAVE overweight. Someone IS obese has HAS obesity, it seems to jarring to hear overweight used as a noun

Natalie Viscuso's fat faggot of a boyfriend Henry Cavill (the actor) should join this acceptance movement... I mean, if he could only get up off of his fat ass to actually join the MOVEment!!! JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA! MARICON GRANDE!
