Fat Acceptance Movement / Fat Girlcows

I noticed that with Amberlynn in particular. I wonder why that is? Some just probably rapidly outgrow them, but there are plenty of really fat people who still keep their weight pretty stable. I guess once you get that big anything besides stretch pants or a mumu is just really goddamn uncomfortable.

I think they realise these clothes accentuate their fatness more than a shapeless dress would. Not to mention many of these girls seem too depressed and hate their bodies too much to do anything like go out in clothes that will draw attention to them. And then of course there's ones that only got this fat cause they're slobs to begin with and couldn't actually care less about which clothes they wear but will take the money anyways

Anna’s swimsuit haul. Very nauseating - watch at your own risk. I got vertigo from all the fat moving in unpredictable directions ?

Her knees hurt to look at. Part of me is expecting them to snap in the middle of a video.

Probably why most behemoths on My 600-lb Life just wander around ultra-casual all the time and by ultra-casual I mean half-naked.

Torrid mostly sells Chinese crap made of strange synthetic fibers that are dry clean only so I'm not really surprised it goes into the closet of doom forever.

An article I came across by "your fat friend." It's called: Who would I be if I weren't fat? Here are some of the highlights.

“You’ve got quite a sense of humor. Do you think that comes from being fat? Do you think you’re overcompensating?”
“I don’t,” I say, and notice a wavering kind of certainty in my voice. “But then, I don’t know who I’d be if I wasn’t fat.”

I find myself dizzy with the lives I could’ve led, sick with possibility. The question keeps me up at night until I finally, reluctantly, swear it off, knowing it to be as unanswerable as a Zen koan: What is the sound of one hand clapping? Who would you be if you had a different body?

During sleepless nights with this specter of a question, I find myself searching for the many ways I have learned to overcompensate for my body. I learned painfully young that my body is a debt that can never be paid and that debtors are everywhere, constantly exacting their price. So I learned to overcompensate. Yes, through humor. But it runs so much deeper than that. Anti-fatness has shown me that most fat friends are only kept around for what we can offer…. So I give, even when I know I can’t. Even when I shouldn’t.

I am often generous beyond my means, both with money and attention, in all but my longest-term, deepest friendships. Anti-fatness has shown me that most fat friends are only kept around for what we can offer: a shoulder to cry on, a void to scream into, an echo chamber, someone to pick up the check, some extra cash when they need it.

I avoid joining friends at the old movie theaters I love for fear of leaving with bruises from their unforgiving seats or for fear of agitating another viewer.

Instead of wondering who I’d be if I had been thin, I begin to ask a different question: Who would I be if anti-fatness ended today? What kind of life would I lead? How would my friendships and relationships change? What fullness would I step into, and what relics would fall away?

Your entire personality should not revolve around your weight.
And instead of wearing long sleeves in the summer or calling restaurants to ask about their booth sizes, why not control how many calories you consume?

Man, I'm fucking fat, but some of these. What I don't understand is how these people can be content that way. Doesn't it disturb them that walking up the stairs makes them feel every blood vessel hammer with their pulse. Doesn't it disturb them that they can't bend and touch their toes? Doesn't it disturb them to have fat deposits on their back larger than the mass of their Entire foot?

Even if being fat was perfectly healthy, I'd still be upset with myself. Granted, I have an excuse in clinical depression for getting this way, but even I'm still doing shit about it AND owning up to the fact that it's my fault to be this way. Disadvantaged as I am, it's not difficult; Eat less, exercise more. I can't even legally hold a fucking job, but I still do it. How can these people go out and live life and still end up like that and happy?!

Living like that is difficult and fucking expensive. Plus sized clothes cost more. Eating too much costs money. Climbing the stairs is a struggle if you're fat enough. It would be easier to exercise on a treadmill or bike a bit every day, than to haul that mass up the fucking stairs, or struggle into XXXXL+ Jeans.

The part that makes me sad for humanity the most is when people won't even help themselves.

they aren't. it's all fake and for show like everything else on social media. no matter what they say or how much they lie to themselves, in reality most of them cry in private and hate their bodies.

We can't be sure, nobody can truly see everything going on behind a person's eyes, wouldn't the simplest explanation be the most likely? The fact that these people have come to believe their own lies? After all, consider the intelligence of the most average example of the human race, then remember that there are three and a half billion more who are more stupid still. Never underestimate the depths of human stupidity.

my opinion is based on common factors that all fatties share and from seeing various cows on youtube. join pains, health problems, mental problems, ugly deformed bodies, etc. there isn't a single fatty that doesn't have these issues. you also have confessions of ex fatties who lost a lot of weight. they all say the same thing how unhappy they were in private while keeping up a mask in public.

that's far enough evidence. sure there can be outliers but even they experience the above health issues related to obesity. so they can dance and sing and spread their positivity bullshit in the comfort of their home but once they step out (if they even can) of that comfort zone they are hit with harsh reality that is real world.

Can we add a new rule to the op stating that if your post starts with any variation on "I'm fat but..." or "this pisses me off because I'm trying to lose weight", you should stop and hold down backspace for a minute?

She likes to drink and post weepy IG stories late night then all smiles BEING FAT IS GREAT the next day.

And her smile is so fucking fake. eye crinkle, big open mouth, upward head tilt It's so obvious that she's screaming inside while trying to maintain the perfect FA/bopo Instagram charade.

How ironic is it that these women bitch and moan about how shallow and artificial and image-obsessed "the diet industry is" while doing the same thing in the other direction? They can't talk honestly about feelings or fears like wanting to lose some weight or worrying about health issues because all the FA psychos have started taking on perverse labels like "CPAP babes" and are, in fact, glorifying obesity outright now.

Also, here's my favorite fattie, Ash, in size 38 Universal Standard jeans. I didn't know any brand made size 38 jeans, but here they are for the 0.0000001% of the population who needs them.

I'm going to say she can't walk based on her fat-deformed bowed legs. This picture must have been taken when she was able to get out of her scooter and stand for a few seconds that day, and she's very obviously propped up against a railing. It's very sad as I'm sure she felt vaguely human and happy on this occasion, what with wearing jeans like a normie. Hell, she even washed and brushed her hair and put on makeup for once.

wow. that's some unfortunate fat distribution. Also, this article on owing your butt a bidet makes me do a ponder. how sanitary is that? I mean a bidet is generally a separate instrument ordinarily, right? You poop in the toilet and then go to the bidet to wash your ass. but if it was a combo, Wouldn't poop/pee get into it if you have one attached to your toilet? (pee because of men and their aim) I mean I guess a difficult toilet to clean and better than a nasty ass

But look at what we're dealing with, man.

Ah the hormones excuse. Allow me to raise an eyebrow.

There are a few actual medical conditions that WILL pack weight on you regards, but they’re rare. Prader-willi syndrome for example. Cushing disease. These are not common. Also a few medication regimes that will put weight on you regardless - some antipsychotics, certain steroid regimes, etc can blow people up fast. Again, you’d be unwell to start with if this was applicable to you.

There are a few slightly more common things that predispose you to weight gain (hypothyroidism for example and PCOS ) but once treated you should be fine in the former and the best thing for the latter is weight losss itself.
The excuse of ‘hormones’ is just not valid for the vast majority of people. The worst ‘common’ things people have will be gut flora and minor genetic differences that predispose them to slight weight gain. NONE of those things will make you 600lb unless you really eat and eat and eat. I’m fairly sure I’ve seen papers where the idea of slow metabolisms was debunked.
We aren’t talking being a bit chubby or apple shaped or not having lost weight after having a baby - 600lb is insane.
I swing between gawking with fascination and feeling incredibly sorry for these people. They cannot be happy and they must be so incredibly uncomfortable. I felt like a whale when I was pregnant and felt the strain in my joints even with only 15lb gain. How do these people manage the basics??

They probably can't, though.

Because they're fat.

Antipsychotics really do make it easy to gain weight. A common side effect among antipsychotics are hormonal changes. Of course this can be managed with a healthy diet. A diet filled with protein, fiber and antioxidants can help keep a person healthy and full. Also, cutting back on calories is a must. It's just that FA's don't want to work on themselves. I have all the empathy in the world for people who want to lose weight, but they need to make the changes themselves.

I have all the empathy in the world for people who want to lose weight, but they need to make the changes themselves.

The thing about the excuses deathfats use regarding their own weight gain -- that it's unavoidable if you're on certain medications (including steroids and many psychotropic drugs), that hormonal changes dictate things, certain people are 'naturally thin' while others are 'naturally chubby' and there's nothing either can do to change that, the claim "it's not fat, it's water retention" -- yes, there's a tiny bit of truth in there but it's been distorted beyond recognition (similar to how deathfat bodies get distorted beyond recognizable human proportions.)

Like, certain meds might make a 115-pound woman of Tess Holliday's height swell up to 130 in a few months, if she doesn't change her diet and exercise habits to account for that -- but no meds will make someone with the eating and exercise habits of a 115-pound woman swell up to Tess' current weight. And it is true that many or even most pre-menopausal women will gain weight NOT from food calories but due to water retention during certain times of the month, then promptly shed that water and return to "normal" levels during other times of the month -- but again, we're talking about a 115-pound woman gaining maybe two or three pounds from water bloat, NOT giant-fat.

Similarly, regarding "naturally thin" versus "naturally plump" people, the idea that certain people CANNOT be thin unless they spend their entire lives feeling hungry -- that only means, like, most women CANNOT be as thin as someone like Kate Moss or "Twiggy" were in their primes unless they starve. But nobody (outside of a VERY few outliers suffering RARE medical conditions) has a "natural" body size so that suffering constant hunger is the only way to avoid looking like a CPAP babe.

Yeah, he's not a bad-looking guy, but he must be a feeder and/or have an extreme fetish, so that's gross.
