Fat Acceptance Movement / Fat Girlcows

Has anyone watched April Lauren on youtube? She's great for the lulz. She's 350 lbs and lost ~10 lbs and was already talking about how she could see it in her face and was making her poor friend agree with her that she looks smaller. She used to be a normal weight, maybe slightly chubby, and then got married and gained 200 lbs within 2 years. Her poor husband. He looks so checked out. He's in the military and she convinced him that weight loss would be her job so she could sit on her ass all day and not have to work, while barely losing weight. Besides all this, something about her seems very off. I don't know if it's the fake over-the-top syrupy sweet persona she puts on or if she's just really... dim. It looks like she's done this whole weight loss shtick before and then vanished after she stopped losing weight and is now back at it again, bigger than ever.

What he married.

Shit like this is why Islam has the "If I say I divorce you 3 times we are Divorced" thing.

I always remember a book that came out in the 90’s, called “Wake Up, I’m Fat!”

014BB091-72E3-4CA0-86AD-55D554255CC1.jpeg

I read a bit of it, and the author had an interesting bit that recounted a time when she was with some other women activists, protesting outside a beauty pageant, yelling to contestants and others that it was sexist, horrid and promoted impossible beauty standards.

The author went into detail about how on the outside, she was screaming about how disgusted she was at the event, spouting the party lines the other protestors shouted, threatening to throw paint on the attendees...but on the inside, she secretly longed to be the thin, pretty beauty queen with the sparkly crown, and would have given anything to trade places and bodies in that moment.

Can’t imagine her saying something like that nowadays. She’d be cancelled and flayed alive for that honesty.

Her whole personality revolves around being an Army wife. Her Husband looks dead on the inside and is completely over his marriage. You can see that in the video, Military Homecoming. It Looks like she lives a depressing life. She gives off ALR vibes.

 
She made a nearly 30-minute-long video about her weight gain:

She blames major life and career changes, PCOS, loss/grief, and injuries for her current state, but...yeah. Normal people gain maybe 10 to 30 pounds at most during stressful life events or while injured before reining themselves in and getting back on track or at least maintaining. Piling on 200 pounds is insane. She clearly has some issues.

That said, maybe I'm a softie now, but I don't mind her too much. She is a dim Southern-raised Mormon military wifey, so her saccharine attitude and demeanor aren't unusual for that cohort. However, if she doesn't lose 50+ pounds within the six months or so (which is practical and possible), she's just full of it and basically another ALR grifter.

April doesn't really bother me. I quite like her personality even though people say shes too smiley or whatever. She definately has the whole Pollyanna thing going on. BUT a .6 weight loss when you're 300+ lbs?? How many calories are you consuming? If she barely exercised and ate 2,000 calories a day shed lose at LEAST a full pound or two a week if not more. Also, PCOS is no excuse really. I mean, Lea Michele has PCOS and shes still thin AF even during her pregnancy.

Fat acceptance is an interesting death cult.
Interesting how they aren't treated similar to addicts, after all they're addicted to food.

It's because you can't give up food, the way you can live without alcohol or heroin or cigarettes etc. The medical solution to super-morbid obesity is surgical - weight loss surgery, or in the past and maybe in the future, pharmaceutical, as there is always research going on into weight loss drugs.

None of these solutions gets to the actual cause of the compulsive overeating or bingeing, which is always a mental health issue of one kind of another, sometimes several compounding issues.

Addiction can be the result of untreated or poorly controlled mental illness or unresolved traumas. Add in lack of food education, and what is now called an 'obesogenic environment' and it's no wonder superfatties are a burgeoning group. Nonsense politics condoning and encouraging staying morbidly obese, and the pornification of massively obese bodies by feeders who are the worse thing o happen to vulnerable fatties as trade their healtth for 'love', makes things even worse and people less willing to seek help. Not that there is really much help available. Mental health is the poor cousin of the medical profession - always underfunded, resources always stretched to the max, research always decades behind other sectors of medicine. A massively obese woman reporting to a GP in mos parts of thte world may be given a diet, may be referred for WLS, but rarely referred to the kind of mental health help they need. The existence of private HAES therapists complicates things too.

Eating disorders are one of the more stigmatised mental illnesses. Most people only know about anorexia and bulimia. Just like you said, you have the HAES therapists making money off of enabling FA's. Deep down, most of these people know that they have control issues with food. It's just easier for them to say it's because of their "anorexia." FA's believe that they have overcome their "restrictive" eating disorder, because they can eat all the junk food they want. When in reality, it's because corporations that sell them cheap food and clothing want them to stay fat/unhealthy. As much as they talk about the diet industry, the whole HAES movement is making bank off their addiction.
 
I wonder if in the future there will be a point where the tide starts to turn on the HAES crowd. Kinda like how some believe that point in the Trans community will be the kids who “grew up trans” detracting/detransitioning/killing themselves en masses/suing the docs or pharmaceutical companies.

The current crop of HAES gorls aren’t getting any younger, Jude Valentine (the youngest HAES in our orbit?) just turned 24, which is still young, but shit Amber (not HAES but still FAT) is only 30 and she just had the cancer scare. Corissa (Fatgirlflow) looks like death warmed over, Anna (GlitterAndLasers) is almost certainly on the final laps of her influencer career, etc. These girls will almost certainly by killed by their obesity, but I doubt it’s going to be live-streamed, so to speak, meaning that they will slink away into their own personal worlds to die and will not be broadcasting it loud and proud.

But what will have to change so that the HAES ideology stops gaining members at such a fast pace? Or is the lid off the box now, and will HAES continue to become more and more popular preaching anti-science and disfiguring then eventually killing its members?

Or is it already on its way out, with the aforementioned crop eating their way to an early grave, are there a bunch of zoomers who are into HAES? Or not really?

I believe that the influx of social media playing into people’s insecurities helped HAES gain the movement it has, but will that be any different for younger generations who have seen SM shit since practically birth?

I hope that our society moves away from identity politics and moves towards a culture that values health (NOT necessarily beauty) and science. And I believe that it will, given enough time. 🌈

Like all “movements” it will probably be a gradual way out. I’m just wondering what would be a breaking point, or if it will have to be a larger shift that society makes?

Yes, "research." I'm sure she has spent hours poring over the vast studies done on this topic. Totally didn't just talk to fellow fatties on SM.

If Your Fat Friend had any real life friends, she'd know that fat people that are actually secure and happy about their bodies don't flinch at someone saying "I feel fat." They say, "Girl, you're not fat! Lol!" and shove more pringles in their piehole.

(I stole @JambledUpWords SS from the Jude thread, I thought it'd be more appropriate to bitch about it here)
 
Saw this on snapchat this morning. She has 91" hips and wants to go bigger. She's not really HAES because she acknowledges her health issues and concern, but I was like "damn gorl". She is certainly a spectacle.

She also does weird socks-on porn with her feeder husband who is also fat.
Can't imagine what those feet look like.

E: For those of you who truly hate yourselves, look her up at mercedesbbw.com

Yeah, if being fat is A-OK, why would an actual fatty give a fuck if a normal or skinny chick said that she "feels fat"? These FAs show their hand all the time considering that other people's personal opinions bother them so much!

Also, I just thought of something: There's this annoying, narcissistic Youtuber named Kalel who has always been slim. She weighed 100 pounds for years and then suddenly gained 15 pounds for some reason I can't remember, maybe due to new medication coupled with an extra shitty depression diet. I still believe someone like Kalel when she says she feels fat, even if she's objectively small. Putting on 15% of one's body weight in a matter of months and having to buy bigger jeans would make anyone feel fat.

Tone, attitude, and perception policing in FA are aggressively paternalistic and weirdly anti-feminist the more I think about it; it's even funnier that people like YFF always tone police by appealing to emotion--theirs, of course, not ours, lol. People are allowed to have and express negative thoughts about their own fucking bodies ffs.

Thanks for the answer.
I kept wondering who benefits?

Camryn Manheim is interesting in that she's sort of a fat activist and sort of not. I read this book when I was younger, and so my recollections of it might be a little frayed, but I remember it being very self-aware. Like the bit above you quoted, and she spends a while going on about how she used to use being fat as an excuse not to do things, or meet people, or take care of herself, or work hard, etc, and a big point of personal growth for her was letting that go and pushing herself anyway. She seems to have settled into just being fat forever, but she's a "smallfat" who hasn't kept gaining, and she actually has a fairly solid acting career. She's stellar in Person of Interest.

I also remember another bit where she went to some fat acceptance dating event or something and got picked on by the incredilards for being a "smallfat" and "taking up their space" or whatever, and she was all upset at being the size everyone hated.
 
I stumbled across this cow when I was on a casual cow content hunt. my first thought was wow the deja vu, this chick is a Tess Holliday copycat, let me clear out my to-do list then sit down and collect some material and oh boy do I regret it. this is Kat Stroud, 32 y.o: instagram Facebook i need to go to sleep so this is all i got now. and sorry if i fuck up this post; not used to posting from a pc.
First off- a moddle:

second- married to a straight man but she's totes bisexual, she came out after marriage for those woke points:

that's the most stereotypical feeder I've ever seen.
AND she has a goddamn child she features on her insta in some repulsive feeder videos:
anyone with eyes can see she's not trying to dance, she's just wiggling that fat for the feeders.

I agree with this 100%. While I understand knee jerk reactions of eye rolling or mild annoyance when some skinnier or prettier than you says they feel fat/ugly, if you step back for a second you realize that’s actually totally valid. Very few people on this Earth think they’re totally perfect and just could not look any better in any way. And in our world of instagram influencers and FaceTune it’s hard to accept yourself totally no matter what you look like.

Even pretty, skinny girls will have days they feel like an ogre and bitter fat chicks yelling at them for confiding about their body image issues is not very supportive of their fellow woman. I’ve had friends who were much bigger than me in the past that I knew I couldn’t talk to when I was feeling bad about myself because they’d get defensive and angry. Not just dismissive ‘nah you look fine’ comments but actual anger. I understood why it may come across as bragging or make them feel even worse so I was careful how I worded it, but it still sucked not being able to confide in bad feelings with someone you saw as a friend. Putting other woman down for feelings they clearly know all too well is catty and immature, and the true feminist thing would be saying they understand and feel that way too and comforting each other.

That dude looks like he loves heroin.
This is why I think "sexual identity" as a part of your self-identity is a bad idea.
Believe it or not, I can actually completely sympathize with asexuals wanting to be part of certain LG discussions because they probably relate to "I'm not attracted to people who are attracted to me" and "I care about person X but don't want to fuck them" issues, but that sympathy only extends so far as "Here is a person looking for understanding and tips on how to navigate a world that has certain expectations for things like marriage and children."
No one is going to hassle a bisexual person in a straight relationship, and a bi woman in a relationship with another woman will face the same issues from others that a normal lesbian would. Same for gay dudes.
If you are in a committed relationship, why would you need to advertise the type of people you could conceivably be interested in fucking? I, as an outside observer, do not need to know your sexual orientation. It tells me nothing about you that's useful to me.
