Spoiler: My shitty teeth and me

View attachment 1254798

I’m so sorry practicing better oral hygiene stopped your teeth falling out and made you get 25 lbs closer to a healthy weight.

Press F to pay respects.

That’s what makes me MOTI at these twats: the brainwashing is evident. Health at any size but don’t you fucking dare lose weight mate I swear to God I will cut you

Poor woman is having guilt attacks because she inadvertently lost weight while being overweight and her online “support” group is going to castigate her for daring to get thinner, through no real effort of her own. It’s all just a bloody cult, it’s fucked up.

This isn’t even #dietculture, the weight loss was an accidental side-effect of saving her teeth and being in pain from eating candy! But despite the party line of “your body knows what it wants and weight flux is normal and fine and your body changes and that’s fine too,” the actual act itself of losing weight is considered a guilty problem.

Changing bodies and changing body weight is always lauded as normal in HAES, but only when it’s weight gain, never loss. You can keep going up and up on the scale and we’ll always call you amazing and brave! But the minute that number slides back, you are a bad person.

And yet if some woman said “oh god I put on 25 lbs because of this dental issue, yikes,” they’d be all over it and screaming about how BODIES CHANGE, HOW DARE YOU FEEL GUILT, HOW FUCKED UP ARE YOU

I just want to know how much sugar she was eating to get to that point. Best to not know, I suppose. It would probably be like Chantal eating dumpster Rollos kinda thing only 24/7. If she is young, it's even more horrifying.

One could also read that exchange as the humblest of humblebrags. SO SORRY AND GUILTY I LOST 25lbs UNINTENTIONALLY.

Forced to cut out the sugary extras that were helping make her fat. Oh, the horror. FORCED.

I bet in reality she's kind of pleased about it, and about having the willpower to actually quit but wants to keep her 'friends' in the cult, so she has to present it as a woe-is-me, politicized tale. But really, she lost a good deal of extra fat and like anyone who does, wants people to know!

 

[RandallBoggs]

Don't worry guys, teeth falling out totally isn't a sign that morbid obesity is unhealthy. Because as you know, every person who isn't a deathfat is anabulimic and their teeth are bad too! Checkmate haydurs

Imagine being so goddamned fat that 25 whole pounds (that's like a full pregnancy) just drops off you because your teeth are too rotten to keep eating so much candy. Holy Jesus her blood was probably Fanta. You're literally better off doing meth at that point (at least if you're swapping addictions rather than just adding a new habit. Fatties gonna fat if they feel hunger or not, I've met a few lardass tweakers in my day). I'm surprised the group isn't telling her she should start making cheeseburger milkshakes or some shit.

I'm assuming that woman is American, and IMO it is indeed bullshit that the American medical/insurance system seems to view dentistry as a non-medical, wholly cosmetic matter -- but I can't help wondering, how much money did she SPEND on all that candy and soda? Probably more than enough to pay for some out-of-pocket dentist visits, and even get some replacement teeth on a payment/installment plan. Most adults have 28 teeth not counting their wisdom teeth; she's lost five of hers, and the others are in such bad shape that she can't even let them come in contact with sugary drinks and foods without instant pain. You'd think after losing her first tooth, or her second, she would've altered her spending priorities a bit.

You're literally better off doing meth at that point (at least if you're swapping addictions rather than just adding a new habit.

I don't remember where, but on one of these fat-people threads I did suggest in all seriousness that they'd likely be better off trading their food addiction for tobacco; if you never touched a cigarette before, and start smoking today, it'll take at LEAST 20-30 years of heavy smoking before you're likely to start developing health problems from that, whereas these people are suffering problems from their weight right now.

I've personally known active duty military personnel who smoked, yet (while they were in their 20s and 30s) were still in good enough shape to pass the military physical fitness tests, compared to extremely overweight people in their 20s or 30s who can't even climb a single flight of stairs without getting winded. (And those smokers could indulge in the occasional sweets without suffering instant tooth pain, too.)

Reminds me of when Boogie’s tooth “dissolved” from eating steak.

Having soda and chocolate isn’t the end of the world for you teeth unless you let it sit on them for hours and don’t brush. I know someone that would give their child chocolate milk before bed and they didn’t brush after. Almost all their baby teeth rotted. I wouldn’t be surprised if this fatty would take out a few snickers and a Mountain Dew and pass out for the night.

I feel like everyone written about here could benefit from being forced to watch Japanese diet commercials, Clockwork Orange style. They're wayyyy more brutal than any "fatphobic" ads in the West could ever be. My personal favorite has a mother-in-law so unable to believe her son is marrying a fat girl she throws herself off a roof in the first 10 seconds (wish I could find it and share with you all tbh).

Please enjoy this guy laughing at some examples instead:

"Doctor told me to limit feeding my child who was at that point 6 months old and exclusively breastfed. They told me not to feed her outside of scheduled feedings so that she wouldn't "snack all day". Also marked her as "obese". "

This is the only valid complaint in the entire thing. Maybe also the barrel seating, which isn’t so comfy for anyone with any kind of physical disability. everything else is pretty sad to read.

but even some small people today would have major issues fitting in old sizing conventions.

Can confirm. I used to sew a lot from vintage patterns and women were just a different shape - I think I was a size uk 6 back then and I still had to adjust for waists - apparently better nutrition and possibly less positive factors has changed the shape / proportion of even healthy women. Also the bobby girdles, yikes. Marylin was teeny, and had incredible proportions. Also everyone was on drugs. Everyone.

If I remember correctly, Japan has a fat tax.

This reminds me of that one manga short story where a girl has a crush on a guy, but shes fat so he rejects her. She starved herself to lose weight and gets the guy. But when they go to kiss, shes so hungry she eats him.

Motherland asians also look down upon asian americans because of how fucking fat they are and their higher rates of diabetes.

I think we develop earlier as a whole, so we’re less petite in general. I am a small person, I thought I would be fine with a pattern from maybe the 1940s, but it turns out vintage patterns aren’t so much just smaller as they are made for women with entirely different proportions.

Is "thickener" the gender you become when you're too fat to tell at first glance?

Patterns in the early 90s were okay, I thought. Then they changed the proportions to have wide shoulders and no titty room. Like making dresses for men. They do not at all fit the measurements specified on the pattern, and the measurements listed are very pear shaped. I just gave up entirely.

"bacillus butyricus end " sounds like a science-y way to say "big ass". I wonder if Japanese probiotics are better than the ones we sell? I have always laughed at the American ads that try to convince our fat asses that it's just bloat from a disorganized gut flora. You don't need to diet or exercise! It's 200 lbs of sludge in your system!

People paying lots of money to be told that the consequences of their own actions are not their fault is basically the American Way.
