"OH NO I'M GOING TO GET SO FAT DURING QUARANTINE." Y'all have probably heard it by now. When people are scared and helpless they search for things that give them a sense of control. Some of us reorganize the hall closet. Others compulsively stockpile food and household supplies. And others still focus on the abject horror of gaining a few pounds in the midst of an extremely stressful and inescapable global crisis.

The fact that weight gain is a concern for so many right now belies the broad cultural belief that weight is a thing that is *completely* within the control of an individual, that every body has the potential to become very fat without constant vigilance and discipline, and that all fat people are fat because they made themselves that way, foolishly, by eating too much. Science, as well as your own anecdotal evidence (yes, even yours), does not bear this out. Fatness involves a large degree of genetic predisposition, which you cannot change or control. This is why some people can eat voraciously and never get fat. If some thin people are just strongly predisposed to be thin -- an idea most people are comfortable with -- then why is it beyond comprehension that fat people might be as well?

Research has shown repeatedly that fat people as a group do not eat more calories than average weight people (and some studies show they eat less). Yes, people can gain or lose some amount of weight by changing their habits, but they are usually fighting their body's natural equilibrium by doing so, often with dire consequences to their health. Nevertheless, the Quarantine Fat fears persist because it's a thing people feel they can wield power over, and that is a balm when the future feels dangerously unknowable. It also, more ominously, plays into a narrative where fat people who become sick or die had it coming to them, for failing to correctly administer their body. None of this is new -- this is the same story as ever, this is an ideology fat people live under every day, pandemic or not. No, you won't gain 100 pounds in a few weeks at home. But you could try losing the weight of all those unexamined assumptions you're carrying around.

For fuck's sake, I adore the 'muh genetics' argument. Because it never occurs to these fat fucks that perhaps the thin person who eats a higher caloric diet than them may also be more active, burning more calories and thereby necessitating a higher intake to keep their weight at healthy levels.

Unless you're fucking Michael Phelps and you're burning 8,000 calories in the pool every day, you don't need to consume 10,000 calories, you dummies. He's not genetically predisposed to being thin and in shape. He works out. Which is a concept these tubbos could never understand, because they're apparently of the opinion that he could stop swimming daily, continue consuming a dozen Egg McMuffin sandwiches on the daily, and never put on a pound.

Research has only shown that fatties don't eat more calories than average weight people in blogs and editorials, typically written by fat fucks who whine about muh genetics. I wish they'd link peer-reviewed scientific research papers. But wait, they can't, because none fucking exist.

I mean... at least she's not accidently ignoring FA dogma in her argument? Most FAs bitching about this (and they are all bitching about it, incessantly) show their ass by agreeing that, yes, eating too much and being less active in quarantine will in fact make you gain weight. Their argument is, "So, are you afraid to look like me?!" Because, of course, the world revolves around fat people (insert gravity joke), and every thin person is comparing themselves to them. It's also an attempt to allay their guilt about eating even more than usual, especially when most people are stocking up to stay at home.

But this bitch at least stays true to her cult- "You won't gain weight unless you're predisposed to! CICO is a lie!" It only took a wall of text and a straw man- pretty sure no one has said they fear gaining 100 lbs.

Well, she might. She's probably inhaling Lil Debbies and needed to convince herself it won't affect anything.

I mean, sure, maybe they don't eat more calories than average weight people. They didn't say anything about how many calories they're drinking, though. Way too many people forget that liquid calories count, and it's very easy to consume them.

Not to mention most of us underestimate the calorific content of what we eat. I think often very obese people are utterly clueless about the calorific content of certain foods, or have zero idea about normal portion sizes, something the restaurant and fast food industry doesn't help with, having normalized portions double the size of what anyone needs in general. A 1000 calorie single meal is way too much for most people unless it's the one main meal of the day. In reality people end up eating that plus snack plus lunch plus breakfast or whatever. Thus we hear 'I eat normally' which is the actual problem when 'normal' = eating way too much for one sedentary human.

People also highly overestimate how many calories exercise burns.

I saw a lab study a while back that had women in-patient who claimed they could not lose weight despite eating what they claimed was 1000 calories a day. On observation, these 1000 calories a day folks were eating,on average, 3000 calories a day and were unaware or simply in profound denial of the calorie content of what they were eating.

This line got me the most. When I think of people featured here (AL, Chantal, Livid, Glitter, Corissa and J), it goes far beyond "failing to correctly administer their bodies." FAs completely absolve themselves of any personal responsibility and instead put that burden on other people: "Don't judge fat people who eat like shit and drink gallons of soda a week! Don't judge fat people who want to steal your hospital bed and ventilator!"

The only thing she’s struggling to do…is literally everything that isn’t stuffing her face (and desperately seeking external validation on social media). How upsetting and disheartening that some of the people dying of COVID are those who lived through the Great Depression and WWII (and subsequently came out the other side to build the strongest middle class the world had ever seen), and this here precious princess is struggling to maintain her, positively demure, 350+ lb frame because of “trawmaa”, aka, she went more than four hours between meals one time, or something. I also love the added irony that she clearly isn’t struggling to get expensive (and obnoxious) dye-jobs during this time of scarcity.
