Fat Acceptance Movement / Fat Girlcows

[weaselhat]

As far as I'm aware, the regulations in the UK only cover elective surgeries, not emergency ones. In the US, you're getting emergency surgery if you come to the ED and you need it even if you're 600 lbs and God help you. At least we have bariatric operating tables now. They used to have to push two normal-sized ones together and patients flopped off while repositioning sometimes.



It's becoming common in the US for hospital networks to ban smoking on the premises because of chain-smoking nurses and also patients dragging their oxygen tanks outside with them to light up a cig, which could easily go very wrong very quickly. I'm aware of one network in GA that doesn't even employ smokers at all, and they do hair testing for nicotine metabolites.

Not hiring fat nurses is basically a non-starter in the US, though.

some also charge employees higher premiums if they are smokers, which does deter some and makes others lie. It also helps to make people smoke off the campus, which security is harder on staff than visitors. I'm waiting on them to try to charge people more for a high BMI. not sure that would fly, but i could see them trying.

"CHRISSY METZ ON THIS IS US: Now, this one is a little different for me. I don’t like the character of Kate, because a LOT of her plot is about her weight. I’ve definitely struggled with weight related depression, self esteem issues, eating disorders; but I feel like I don’t know enough about her otherwise. Her main ‘thing’ is being fat. HOWEVER, Chrissy Metz (a wonderful actor!) is a size 28. No one on this list portrays the upper end of the spectrum like Chrissy! As a 3x/4x gal, I love seeing that type of plus representation. Also, Chrissy Metz is CUTE AS A DAMN BUTTON and is always acting her face off with awesomeness!"

She doesn't like the character who's by far the most realistic portrayal of a morbidly obese character. When someone is 400 pounds, being fat is a pretty defining and limiting feature of their life and experiences, lol. FA followers always try to minimize or ignore the harsh reality of being 250+ pounds overweight, but it's obvious to anyone without an agenda that Chrissy Metz at her highest weight couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without hyperventilating and feeling like her knees were going to cave in. She couldn't even properly wipe her own butt, something so shameful and gross that very few fatties will talk about unless it's a conversation about someone who's fat but also claims to have a non-fat-related "disability."

Why does seemingly every single deathfat have an "eating disorder"? They are always bitching and moaning about the "Pathologicalization " of fatness and yet have no problem when it works in their favor and places the blame outside their own lack of control. Hur dur I'm 400 lbs before 30 but it's my eating disorder I have a disease, blah blah blah.

Hadn't seen this fattie before, thanks, adding her to my morning hate reading.

There was a big discussion here about Abby a few weeks or months ago. She has a weird shrine to serial killers and their victims on her living room wall, wears fupa-exaggerating rompers around town and then cries when creepy men notice, and is a great source of lulz.

It's also interesting that in FA world, restriction is the only real "eating disorder." They always blame their high weights on the fact that they restricted, but bingeing yourself into a stupor every night and gaining hundreds of pounds over the course of a few years sounds pretty fucking disordered as well, no?

FA's are to lazy to actually recover. The fat acceptance movement is about enabling disordered eating. FA's don't believe in BED or emotional eating. FA's believe that the only eating disorder people suffer from is anorexia.

When Marianne Kirby still had some steel-reinforced soapboxes to shout from five to 10 years ago, "I'm morbidly obese because I don't eat very much! I dieted my way to 300 pounds!" was basically her mantra. She would become a poisonous bitch if anyone ever questioned or confronted that belief.

Here are some old gems from Marianne:

"Through all of this [dieting], I got fatter. I weighed 156 pounds in the sixth grade — but I was also my adult height of 5'4". I matured early, big boobs and a body shape that marched steadily toward an hourglass. The only message I ever got was that I was fat. That I needed to keep dieting so I could be normal, like the other girls. I dieted and got fatter in high school. I dieted and got fatter in college.

"And, I really do believe that there are other kids who grew up dieting who didn't develop eating disorders. Anything's possible, right? But, I wasn't one of them. The less I ate, the fatter I got until I found a magical tipping point. I lost 50 pounds through not eating or sleeping until one day when I passed out at a theme park. Even then I wasn't skinny, so no one really pegged me as having an eating disorder. And, it took me years to accept that, yeah, I really did have a problem with starving myself."

"You talk about intuitive eating, meaning that you should just eat what you feel like. Do you have to train your body to want to eat right?
Kirby: You have to train yourself to recognize what your body needs. We're adults. If we think we want ice cream, it may be that we're craving fat in our diet, because we've been eating too much low-fat stuff. We have to relearn the language of our bodies.

I do think that food, especially foods that are so processed, can have addictive effects. So you eat Fritos, and then you want more Fritos. It's almost like a drug.
Kirby: But I think you learn [with intuitive eating] that if you eat too many Fritos you feel awful.

Has that actually been your experience?
Kirby: I had Brussels sprouts for dinner the other night, because you know what? They looked pretty."

So a woman whose entire life is about her weight is mad that a fat character's life revolves around her weight...

FA's are to lazy to actually recover. The fat acceptance movement is about enabling disordered eating. FA's don't believe in BED or emotional eating. FA's believe that the only eating disorder people suffer from is anorexia.

Also because they've ruined their body to actually want shitty foods, intuitive eating to them does actually result in them eating massive amounts of junk and is why they think normal people are always restricting. Especially if that normal person sees a cake and doesn't eat from it or are satisfied with a small piece. They get really mad at that because they've likely never known a good diet and think we're all lying and keeping some big secret from them
It's no secret that people who have eaten well their whole lives will likely intuitively eat what they need, but they don't get that and think it applies to them too

Oh yeah, isn't this the chick that often cakes on the makeup and looks greasy and waxy?

Also, wtf does "the restriction of food groups causes pressure on our organs" mean? Most fatties would be able to eat a few square meals, take in ample nutrients, and lose weight without avoiding entire food groups. Literally no one is dying or damaging their organs through minimal "restriction" (aka not bingeing). It's incredibly disturbing that <2000 calories is presented as torture and self-destruction by these people.

The less I ate, the fatter I got

The first person I thought of upon seeing this was Chantal, but it really does apply to a lot of FA people.

They also talk about how women aren't meant to be 'twigs' or 'sticks'. I think that's because women who are truly very thin often are restricting to stay that size. They don't want to acknowledge that there are lots of women with a BMI in the 21-23 range that aren't counting calories and aren't thinking very hard about what they eat.

Yeah, they really need to approach intuitive eating in the same way recovering anorexics/bulimics might. It's pretty difficult in most cases, and relies on a lot of effort that can take years to get to a comfortable point. Most will start with a structured meal plan anyway because they simply can't rely on 'intuitive' hunger cues immediately and have to relearn what an appropriate response to them is.

All these gargantuan fatties want weight loss to work like those dumb-kids-only classes in high school, where you get a partial credit as long as you scribble down something legible as an answer. But that's not how physics operates, you don't get a 50% partial credit on every day of your diet that you fail. You don't get a participation trophy just for feeling guilty after eating a whole cake.

Is spellcheck diet culture too?

Weird that she's asserting that there’s some inherent physical difference between intentional and unintentional weight loss. Two different people can eat at a similar deficit and achieve similar weight loss regardless of intent. Whether it’s healthy or not depends on the quality of the food and the size of the deficit, which a non disordered person losing weight intentionally would have the most control over.

These BOPO retards preach “thin isn’t good and fat isn’t bad, weight is amoral!!!” But choosing to do something that has a scientific basis in improving overall health HAS to be evil and unhealthy because the end result is being less fat.

Anyway, good find. This bitch is seriously delusional.

There's currently a fucking forever war being fought in the psych community about this. Anorexics and deathfats need different approaches to treatment but everyone's so entrenched in what they learned (ED vs. addiction specialists) that nobody's budging.

With anorexics you keep them the fuck away from anything resembling a nutrition label because they count calories like Rain Man and they really do need to learn intuitive eating.

With the deathfats they're just suffering from a food addiction and it needs to be treated as such. Crossing the wires and making a deathfat eat intuitively is going to result in a double-wide casket.

It's typical of various psychological problems being used to excuse shit behaviors. Autists do it all the time.

On one hand, they could claim that fat-shaming is making fun of someone who is really sick, but on the other, they seem to revel in it and use it to absolve themselves of blame and responsibility while not doing anything about it. "I NEED to eat this entire cake! I have a Conditions and my sugars might get low!" "I NEED extra-wide seats on an airplane! I have a Condition and I can't help the way I am!"

And for the record, Ms. Kirby, I'm one of the 5%. I've kept off eighty pounds for the last ten years. I did it by eating less sugary junk.

Men can get away with weight gain more easily because society lets them. They just call themselves “big guys” and since men are supposed to want to be big over being scrawny (tho the big is supposed to be muscle, not fat), they’re off the hook more easily. Men’s clothes are also generously cut and not meant to be fitted as tightly.

But mostly it’s men claiming to be “big guys” who are strong, when they’re really just fat.
