That's all on them. Exercise is so fucking easy. One hour of intense workout a day even with a lousy diet and for sure you won't be a fatty.

You can't outrun a shitty diet. Nearly all weight loss comes from eating less and consuming fewer calories. And let's face it, if a person lacks the self control to stop treating their body like a dumpster, no way in hell are they going to have the self control to make themselves exercise for an hour a day.

This mentality of "Imma treat mahself cos I just exercised" is moronic and doesn't help in the slightest.

Plus size athletic clothing is inevitable seeing as most people are now overweight or downright obese, and it will only get worse. Clothing companies are now in an adapt or die type of situation.

If that were a flagship store I think there is a very real chance I might not buy there. An athletic brand is supposed to be associated with athleticism, not scarfing down orangj chickun and eggrols. If most of the population is overweight and in response most of the merch will be hippo size (I think this mannequin is past plussize, fite me) then why would anyone seriously into sports buy that shit?

Flabletics and Lula are not bought by slim people because hippo's buy it.

But athletic people are such a small part of the population that brands are becoming more and more interested in fatties. At the end of the day, losing you as a customer would be utterly irrelevant to them. Fit people are, what, 5-10% of the population? It’s a demographic that keep getting smaller. Don’t get me wrong, I understand your point of view and agree that the concept of plus-size athletic clothing is ridiculous, but I can see why brands would do it. It’s all about the money.

I am not mad about them offering plus size options. I mean obviously they aren't making them for death fats and there are some fatties who want to get their life together and that includes being able to wear appropriate exercise clothing.
However, athletic gear is mostly used by fatties who only fit into it because it stretches, and use it as comfortable clothing to wallow in laziness, since they can't find a pair of jeans that fit comfortably.

companies still haven't realized that these minority groups don't really care about their products or have the intent of using them. they are just crying and arguing about random shit because it gives them a sense of purpose in their miserable empty lives. once they achieve it they move on to the next dumb and pointless thing.

Meh, "athleisure" fashion is popular with people of all sizes (excluding deathfats because all they can wear is tents) right now, especially in America. I'm sure Nike knows that only 1% of fatties buying their plus-size offerings are actually going to wear them to the gym or to go running.

I just saw a woman who lost 300 lbs. interviewed and the only thing she could wear to the gym was a giant purple housedress. We've all seen Chantal wearing her business casual slacks to the gym. I am not going to begrudge fatties workout gear (and refusing to buy brands that sell "fatty" clothes is asinine; where do people buy street clothes if that is the criteria?); it's one less excuse fat people have for not working out or going to the gym.

I tend to agree. I won’t laugh at a fatty I see out walking or at the gym - they are at least trying. Hopefully they buy work out clothes to actually excercise and walk/bike in, though I’m confused why they need halter tops. Exercise gear for obese should be comfortable, not revealing. I can’t imagine they want everyone to see the giant fleshy rolls of fat on their abdomen.

Even many thin women don’t wear exposed midriff tops, you got have some rock hard abs to pull that off so why Nike is making tops for maximum fupa exposure is a mystery. Their plastic mannequin certainly doesn’t look anything like a most fat woman’s bodies. The closest that mannequin comes to reality is maybe a female shot put thrower or weightlifter and that’s like .000000000000001% of big women.

Not sure if it works for a deathfat but the regular old fats I see at the gym, especially the Gen Z girls, just pretend their waist starts about 6 inches below their bust line. They got their leggings hiked up so fucking far it creates some sort of optical illusion of a figure.

@MirnaMinkoff ah the perfect companion post to mine, cheers.

Based on twin studies, obesity is highly genetic.

What's fun though is that HAES people take that and assume that it's their slow metabolisms. It's not. The human body is capable of lowering your metabolism to an insane degree, but none of these deathfats are even getting close to triggering it. BMR is normally distributed but even if you're genetically on the low end of the scale it doesn't make you fucking balloon up to 400 lbs.

It's how much you eat when you're free-feeding. And genetics are not destiny. You, too, can lose weight by things like I don't know maybe not shoving the entirety of Golden Corral's menu options into your face night after night.

It's not like various types of cells require much different amounts of energy in different people, more that some people create more heat due to their bodies being marginally more inefficient.

It's easier to quantify in activity than in BMR, and the distribution is actually pretty tight. I know that on a bicycle it works out to 23-27 percent efficiency, but the distribution is really tight around 25. So the least efficient people doing 1Kj of work burn 1039 calories (239 of actual work, 800 in heat). Average person is 717 in heat, most efficient is 646 in heat. 1Kj on a bike is 2 hours of pretty hard riding for a normal person. The difference is a third of a Snickers bar either side, give or take. Meanwhile 1lb of fat is 3500 calories, so if you did that ride every day for a month while eating the same food, it would work out to about 1.25lbs of fat difference between the edge cases of normal metabolism. Where I live that would probably work out close to a 16mph average on a skinny tire road bike and nearly 1000 miles.

It explains 10-20lbs over a few decades well enough, but that's it.

So I am in Anna’s Facebook fatty safe space group (for shits and giggles ofc). They posted this pic of a plus plus size mannequin and they are all saying “about time!” and how great it is. Curiously enough with increasing the circumference of the torso they forgot the hanging stomach and fupa. I guess Nike doesn’t want their stuff on jiggling blobs after all...

The thing is, Anna couldn't fit in this & quite frankly, she'd be lucky to be only this fat. This mannequin looks downright skinny compared to her.

Haha, I could totally see someone hiking their pants halfway up their ribcage to try for an optical illusion of a waist and maximum belly coverage.

The high rise waist look with flab should be avoided at all costs. Gen Z women missed the memo that high waist cuts were supposed to look like this:

Not this:

Nobody wants to see the naked fleshy fat rolls spilling out of clothes. I wish they would stop trying push this shit on the public at large. Stay home if you want to prance around with your gunt hanging out.

99% of them do stay home, thankfully. Outside of misguided "woke" ad campaigns from a handful of corporations, you'll almost never see fatties dressed like this in real life. Instagram doesn't count.

Honestly, that mannequin isn’t realistic either. It show vague muscle tone and a shape that literally not one of these gals have. When this shit first started I thought, well, I’ve known folks with a larger frame who do work out and are toned at the very least, think Ashley Graham. These deluded folks think they look like her, not Anna. That’s where this shit went all pear shaped.

Sorry, gorls, no one accepts grotesque amounts of fat. It’s something you have total control over. It can be acceptable to be a bigger girl particularly if you’re tall and have a larger frame, but these gals are inevitably 5’3” or below and weigh more than 2-3 average humans. It’s a completely different thing. Also, slightly larger folks are not gawked at nor are they “discriminated” against. We barely notice. It’s only when you become a dwarf planet that an employer knows can’t perform a certain role due to their size or can’t get a date they get like this.

 

[Twinkie]

There are definitely millions of fat chicks out there with that mannequin's body type. The statistics are what they are, America is full of fatties and we have to face it. But the thing is, those mannequin-like fat chicks aren't the ones that join this toxic MovEMeNt. Whether they accept their big bodies or not, they don't make their size (and experience as a fat person) central to their identity.

You're not autistic, I was just making a request for someone to save it before it gets taken down like you predicted. Sorry if I came off another way, I do like your posts.

I was watching a documentary the other night, Cold Blue, which was done using all the footage filmed in 1942-43 for a documentary on a WW2 bomber crew. The opening ten minutes show a big crowd, mostly factory workers, in 1943 all lined up to listen to a speech.

Not one single fattie, not even a chubby person, to be seen. Not one. Every person in the crowd, men and women, were lean and muscular. It’s absolutely astounding to compare what average ppl looked like 75 years ago compared to today.

This is true up to forty years ago really. Starting sometime in 1980s the obesity epidemic got started and the canary in the coal mine were the first stories of bedbound fatties stuck in their homes.

People were way more active back then. For someone like Amber, an active day consists of waddling from the couch to her car, diving to Walmart, waddling to the mobility scooter, driving around the store, waddling back to the car, driving back home, and spending the rest of the day on the couch.

Well, I no longer have a thing for fat chicks thanks to this thread...
