Fat Amy is now stuffing SIX ads into a 10:01 video and revealed that her mother was in prison. Fifty more pounds and a 300 pound girlfriend and she'll be Amber. Also, she has a PayPal link still up somewhere?

Didn't even think it was relevant enough to get a screencap, but Jude shared one of the more popular posts trying to get Phoebe Tickner's Instagram account reactivated via her Stories, then deleted the repost a few hours later.

Not the only one who's deleted a Justice For Phoebe post. I wonder if Instagram is fed up with people complaining that they unfairly deleted her account after warning her about 20 times for bullying/harassment.


Also re: Amy's last video - it pisses me off no end when people film and drive. She's gonna kill someone one day.

Smokers have to pay taxes amounting to over 200% the cost of a pack in most states. I'd say they are a lot more targeted and socially despised than fat people. A smoker can cower behind a piss-stinking dumpster at the far end of a parking lot in the pouring rain, and some fucking jerk will always come over and bitch at them for smoking. But they just suck it up, take the heat, and buy the cigs. They don't cry "eugenics"

Usually the fat ones as well. As if they cannot see the ironing.

It must be true because I want it to be true!

Happens all the time. Fast food made Qatar and Bahrain fat in record time. There is a Caribbean island, entrepeneur decides wise choice to build Mickey D's and KFC all over it. Made mad bank. And obesity goes from nigh absent to record highs.

I thought Polynesian islands had the highest rates of obesity outside the developed world?

Gorsh amy, I sure hope you don't get backlash for putting six ads in a ten minute vid, golly gee whiz

These women are so fucking stupid I swear. Anyone watching her videos in earnest deserves worse than mere ad-rape.

No, google it. Muslim countries are the fattest in the third world

Don't forget soda. You've got hot desert climates, where alcohol is forbidden, and a population paradoxically willing to embrace consumer brands from the oh-so-decadent and degraded West? Coke, et. al., have made fortunes selling fizzy sugar-water to the Saudis and other Arab nations, and Novo Nordisk is now making yet another fortune by selling them insulin.

And Mexico, where Coca Cola is easier and cheaper to get than bottled water.

New blog post from, Jay aka: "ComfyFat." The title of the blog post is: How to talk to your kids about fat bodies.
Here are some of the highlights:

For as long as I can remember, kids have always gawked at my fat body. They stare, point, laugh, snicker, comment. They even make dramatic gestures. A whisper to their parents with a confused look on their face is nothing new for me to see. Oftentimes in public, I feel like a member of a circus “freak show” on display for young people to mock. It’s certainly discouraging! Especially as someone managing social anxiety as it is.

As an adult, I see the larger issue. The issue is more about our cultural narratives around fat bodies. We have built a society rampant with fatphobia, thriving on toxic diet culture, and over-valuing thinness. And with a world full of so many outlets for children to gather information about moral value, what is “good” and what is “bad,” (tv, film, social media, school, friends etc.) it’s impossible to filter those narratives to perfection.

We have to start talking to our kids about fat bodies! Early on, even. We need to make our values clear and concise in ways that make sense to them.

Look at your surroundings. Check out your environment. Do you have any fat friends? Are your children exposed to different kinds of people? Do you value diversity? If you’re finding that you only have thin friends, that might be worth looking into. What might be getting in the way of you making connections with people of different sizes?

Representation matters. It truly does. If our kids only have representation of fat people in media that are being made fun of, it will continue to be incredibly difficult to reshape their beliefs around what it means to be fat. Having fat people in their lives changes their view. They can make connections with, ask questions to, and love the fat people in their lives. They can see a fat person living their life, enjoying themselves, having fun, and being human.

Kids know the term fat. It’s easy to understand. Using words like “obese” (or referring to BMI) are terms that come from the medical world. They’re often used in a way that is highly fatphobic and tied to the moral devaluation of fat bodies. Taking these words out of your vocabulary and using words like fat, heavy, big, etc. helps change our language from speaking about fat bodies as if they are taboo, to something more simple and matter of fact. Fat is not a bad word. It doesn’t have to have negative connotations if we don’t let it! Call it like it is. And do so without fear, pity, moral value, shame, or assumption.

Let’s say your child received a mean message online, (also called cyberbullying, hate, trolls etc). When you make a joke about that mean message coming from some fat, ugly, guy living in his parents’ basement, it’s said to make your child feel better. You want to uplift them by shaping the image of these messages coming from an unsuccessful failure who’s opinions don’t matter. Obviously. But when we do this, we perpetuate this idea that body size is an indicator of moral value, success, and desirability.

Explain Simply And With Intention

One of my good friends has two children who have asked questions multiple times about my partner’s body, as well as my own. They have questions because they enjoy our company; they love us. And their world is telling them that fat people are a problem, unhealthy, and even that we’re going to die sooner than the rest. These kids are as young as six, picking up harmful lessons about what it means to be fat and what will happen to the fat people they care about. Six year olds shouldn’t be worrying about their fat family members health.

Try something like this:

“Why are they so big/fat?” Some bodies are big, some are small. The world is full of lots of different kinds of people! Isn’t that cool?

Teach them about how great it is that our world is so diverse and full of many kinds of people. This is also an opportunity to make connections between other realms of diversity to your kids. Talk about the beauty in having a world full of people with different shapes, colors, abilities, amounts of money, religion etc.

“Are they gonna die early because they’re fat?” There are many reasons someone could be unhealthy. Sometimes it’s related to their weight, sometimes it’s not. We know this, because skinny people can have health problems too, right? No matter what, we want to be nice to everyone whether they have health problems or not.

These simple responses can have a huge impact. Especially when repeated as often as necessary. It teaches your children to be critical of those negative stereotypes they’ve been hearing about. So, answer their questions using neutral language. Let your kids know what your values are and what you expect of them.

We must start talking to our young people about fat bodies in ways that destigmatize them. That way, we can work on moving culture away from toxic diet culture and an obsession to thinness, to a more balanced, holistic, and compassionate relationship with bodies.

No, they really shouldn't be should they?

Yes kids, there are drug addicts, alcoholics, anorexics, people who neglect their bodies, gluttons, etc. Isn't the world fun?! It's so nice and diverse and the gluttons obviously can't control any of this which makes it natural

Remember when body diversity in terms of shape meant it was fine if a girl had a straight waist as opposed to a curved one? That that wasn't fat or bad? Not that if they were the shape of a basketball it was fine

"skinny people have health problems too" like come the fuck on. They do but they're not shoving food into their maws at every turn actively making their health problems worse.

Most kids in the 98-99 percentile of weight already have nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Some of them die from it as adults. It's a fun thing to die from. You sit down, feeling fine and fat and stunning and beautiful and then there's some kind of liquid at the bottom of your throat, so you go to the bathroom to puke it up. That's blood. Actually a whole lot of blood, and it never stops coming.

So you call 911. ER determines you have esophageal varices that have burst and so you go to the OR, where surgeons quickly try to tie off all the veins while transfusing massive amounts of blood into you in an attempt to keep you alive. Which is successful roughly 50% of the time. And then you bleed out on the operating table dreaming of Pepsi and orange chicken.

 

[Angry New Ager]

"skinny people have health problems too" like come the fuck on. They do but they're not shoving food into their maws at every turn actively making their health problems worse.

Not only that, but unhealthy skinny people generally aren't making it harder for doctors to diagnose and effectively treat what ails them.

Trying to get decent imaging on somebody comfyfat's size is impossible. With X-rays, she'll end up exposed to much higher doses of radiation in order to get images through all of that fat, and the images themselves will likely be useless. She's too big for any MRI machine, even the open ones. I don't even think she could fit into the largest-size CT scanner, either, and even if she did, the beds of MRI machines and CT scanners aren't built to accommodate her weight.

Exploratory surgery? She's at extremely high risk of dying under anaesthesia, and gaining access to an appropriate surgical site will be incredibly difficult. She's too big to do anything laparascopically, so they'd have to cut her open, which will involve making a much larger incision through all of that fat, which means much longer wound healing with greater potential for complications post-op. Since that incision will most likely have to be between massive fat rolls--areas that are incubators for yeast and bacteria in a way no place on a skinny human's body can match--the chances of post-op infection of the surgical site and death from sepsis are vastly higher than they would be on a skinny person. Gaining access to it in order to change dressings would require the effort of at least two people--one to help hold fat out of the way and the other to do the actual wound care; a skinny person could probably do their own wound care at home a few days after surgery while someone J's size would either still be in the hospital, or in convalescent care, with others doing it for them.

And getting up to walk after surgery, which is crucial to making a good recovery? The skinny person would be able to do it; J would not. Surviving the anaesthesia and the surgery, only to die of an embolism? Nice going, fatty.

If our hypothetical skinny person and somebody even Corissa's size (much less J's) had cancer, chemo dosing and the ability to direct radiation would also be much easier and likely to succeed for the skinny person. Hell, just about any drug dosing is going to be safer, more accurate, and more effective for a thinner person than a massive fatty.

I'm not even a medical professional, but holy shit, even I know that when a fat person and a skinny person develop the same health condition the ease of treatment and the outcomes are far better for the skinny person than the fatty. And this isn't because doctors are a bunch of heartless shitlords who hate fat people and want them to die; it's because fat people's bodies test all the boundaries of what it is possible to do, given the science behind medicine and the technology available.

And funny how none of these massive fatties have dedicated their lives to science, and doing research on solving these problems--nah, they'd rather take their Grievance Studies degrees and spend the rest of their short, painful, needlessly circumscribed lives pretending they're the victims of anything but their own impulsivity.

Fuck. I should be taking a shower, and I'm ranting about stupid, entitled fatties again. Goddamn it.

What a lot of words to try to convince herself she's not a "circus 'freaks show.'" Of course people are going to stare, especially when she's with her bowling ball of a companion. And not because TV shows portray fats as bad. Is that even much of a thing anymore in these Woke days?

How many fat strippers are in that Magic Mike movie these supposed dykes like so much?

Medical imaging has been keeping pace. There's a hospital here that has a CT scanner with a 680lb load limit. Incredibly wide aperture too.

It never ceases to amaze me that deathfats constantly complain about the evil medical profession when we're bending over backwards to accommodate them. You think that scanner was cheap or that the hospital will ever be able to recoup their investment? Deathfats are like maaybe 0.5% of the patient population at most.

[meepmapmop]

Man, rate me mad on the internet, but these HAES people need to leave kids the fuck alone.

As a parent or a guardian, it's your job to teach kids how to succeed and be healthy. You do this by teaching kids that things like McDonalds is a treat, not an everyday thing. That they must ask permission before eating fruit snacks, ice cream, etc and that they will not always get "yes" as an answer. That their video game/computer time is limited and encouraging kids to go outside and play or join sports teams.

You know the best way to do this? Do it yourself as well. Be a goddamn positive example for your kids and you eat your damn broccoli as well and play soccer with them, fatty. If you want to eat yourself into pain, misery, and death, fine that's your life. But don't set up innocent kids with your bullshit and delusions.

 

[AnOminous]

That they must ask permission before eating fruit snacks, ice cream, etc and that they will not always get "yes" as an answer.

Eventually as an adult you have to take over your own parents' role and be the one to say no to yourself. If you have no role model for that you will never learn that.

 

[Oracle]

Nobody with a health issue has ever lost weight. Somehow eating less...costs more, according to this person?

Also if the “fad diet” worked, it’s clearly not just a fad. Excuses, excuses.

 

[Birthday Dickpunch]

I'd buy that first statement. Nobody knows how full of shit you are like a formerly fat person. They know you're just lying, either to yourself or to the people around you. They know you're making excuse after excuse (see the Twitter reply) instead of owning up to being a lazy fuck. They know how uncomfortable or in pain you are constantly, how maybe you can't wipe your own ass or keep yourself clean in general, how you struggle to find any clothes that fit, all while you go on and on about how you're sooooooo healthy and happy and fabulous and skinny bitches are just jealous. They see you encouraging other people to be just as miserable as you are. They see you crab-bucketing around other fat people who are trying to be better.

They know. They see you for who you really are.

 

[dopedodo]

Nobody hates slim people like former slim people, or even former not-so-fat people. And no one hates "small fats" like "infinifats" do.
