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.

arguing that obesity is a disability,

I wonder how you square that with the view that obesity is healthy, in the "Health at Every Size" sense?

The Only Person Who Looks Good in the TikTok Strawberry Dress Is Tess Holliday

Ensconced in yards and yards of tulle, Holliday looks like a cream puff, but in a good way. It’s also the sort of fantasy that plus size shoppers only dreamed of, in the dark days before ASOS Curve and Eloquii’s arrival. Stacy London and What Not To Wear perpetuated the false myth that plus size women should dress to minimize their size, pushing ruching and wrap dresses on an entire generation of women who internalized the message that they must hide their bodies and make them look smaller; a tulle dress covered in strawberries is the ideological opposite of that directive. It is its own celebration.

Kind of both? Its partly like a "cottagecore" thing, and people love it bc its floaty and pretty and it supposedly "looks good on every body type". Which, to be fair, there's worse outfits planets have worn. Ppl also like to photoshop famous people in the dress or draw fanart with it as a meme tho.

There was also just a strawberry theme going around tiktok in general over the summer too.

Are they calling teens on tiktok fascists?

Lately HAES has been trying to reframe “fat oppression” as an issue of racism, fascism and anti-queer hate, because recently people who suffer actual oppression have been in the news and no one gives a fuck about the supposed oppression of a first-world person with luxury access to a surplus 4,000 calories a day who refuses to exercise. All the talk about brave plus size fashion models kind of stopped being interesting when people with actual problems outside their control started trending.

None of the regular talking points are landing, and in this current climate of dialogue about police reform and racial violence, whinging about being called tubby seems a little tone-deaf in the face of race-motivated murders. So, time to make it all about you again, HAES!

I hope the next big news obsession is, oh I don’t know, shining a spotlight on normalized rape in the cultures of some countries and HAES has to scramble to put out think pieces about how shops not carrying 10X sized frocks is just like rape, if you think about it.

Claudia Garcia aka: Posi Claudia is an interesting cow. She makes videos about how confident she is being fat, but wants to lose weight for health reason. In this video, she seems genuine and honest about her struggles with food addiction.

A couple weeks after she filmed the "how much I actually gained" video, she did a mukbang. Claudia says that it's okay that she does a mukbang, because it's "keto." Claudia has a past of posting mukbang videos, while trying to lose weight.

Claudia has made an OnlyFans account. She calls it "empowering." Claudia says that she has men that already enjoy her fatness, so she might as well make money off them.

Claudia has been making "weight loss" videos for over five years. Claudia has not lost much weight over the years. This is her first YouTube video.

All mukbangers deserve to be locked in shipping containers and sent to Qatar.

That shit isn't even in the neighborhood of low carb, is she that stupid or does she just think everyone else is? Keto is unnecessary and sounds kind of gross and unpleasant tbh, though I will concede it's a decent weight loss diet if done correctly, but these fat people who use it as an excuse to deepthroat all the grease are just fast tracking their way to heart attack city and it's not like they're kidding anybody.

It's got to be masturbation fodder for a specific subset of deviants right? Because beyond the lolcow appeal I don't know why the fuck anyone would watch a video of someone else eating (and even then a few gifs is all the Chantal I can tolerate without feeling sick).

I know some people with eating disorders talk about watching them to prevent binges but other than them it's feeders and hate watchers, fairly sure.

Today on Digg:
Fat Shaming Shouldn’t Be Part of Our “New Normal”
From The Walrus (lol)
Archive
The article is about 70% the story of her own relationship with food, with the only COVID stuff being at the very beginning and very end.
About the author: Erika Thorkelson (@ethorkel | @ethor) is a freelance journalist and culture critic living in Vancouver. She teaches humanities and writing at Emily Carr University of Art and Design.

Excerpts:

I find this fanatical devotion to extreme fitness in the middle of a pandemic surreal. Despite gentle shifts toward fat acceptance in the last few years, it’s clear our culture remains obsessed with controlling our bodies. I see this as I scroll through pictures of beautiful fat women on Instagram, my feed peppered with ads for diet systems that want to help me lose “just a few stubborn pounds,” exercise regimes that will blast my glutes, or shapewear promising to hide my fleshy rolls. In one breath, we claim to celebrate all bodies, and in the next, we are desperate to change them.

Interesting statement, given this is one of her more recent instagram posts:

The fear of fatness has also affected the way we talk about victims of the new coronavirus. In a recent article for Refinery29, Gianluca Russo wrote about how, after the death of twenty-nine-year-old People magazine staffer Alison Schwartz on April 28, fatphobic trolls swarmed her obituary, saying she had brought the disease on herself because of her size. “This message—that a fat person will likely be responsible for their own death—has long been used against the plus-size community in a flawed attempt to shame them into losing weight,” Russo argued. “But no one should be forced into changing their body.”

The Alison Schwartz in question:

In the New York Times, Sabrina Strings, a professor of sociology at the University of California’s Irvine campus, argued that reports linking African Americans’ disproportionately high COVID-19 death rate to obesity were unfounded and based upon racial stereotypes. She pointed instead to the structural racism, poverty, and poor access to health care that are the lasting legacy of slavery. “The cultural narrative that black people’s weight is a harbinger of disease and death has long served as a dangerous distraction from the real sources of inequality,” she wrote, “and it’s happening again.”

Just gonna leave this right here:

In all these cases, by shifting focus toward weight loss, we obfuscate the systemic issues that lead to the worst outcomes of the pandemic, namely poverty and poor access to health care, and put the responsibility squarely on the shoulders of the individual. We also put extra pressure on those who already experience the most violent aspects of fatphobia, turning them into targets for cultural frustration.

Lady you aren't even that huge:

All this has reminded me of why I removed myself from a system that controls and punishes fat bodies like mine. The pandemic has allowed me to revisit my commitment to my body—I’ve been going on long walks, taking pictures of flowers, and listening to audiobooks. When I feel restless, I do exercise videos that are slow or silly but that never tell me I need to change. I’ve made a number of successful banana bread loaves and eaten a lot of chocolate ice cream with peanut butter swirl.

And I'm sure none of that behavior is related to this post of yours from the 2nd of this month:

Excerpts:

oh wow this is so self indulgent, the navel gazing is incredible.
Also I understand that she’s writing about generational influence in regards to women within a family’s relationship with food, which is fine, I guess but like...who cares?
The way she writes wants to be confessional but it isn’t interesting.
This part about her grandmother being in a diet group for many years and having a charm and that says “TOO FAT” imo was meant to be tongue in cheek, like a joke.
I’m wondering if the weight loss group her grandmother was a part of was more of a social thing? The common goal of wanting to be healthier would probably bring woman together as friends. Things like that are effective, you’re the sum of the people around you sorta thing.

I’VE BEEN EMBROILED in diet culture my whole life. It was my inheritance, both figuratively and literally. In the jewellery box I got from my maternal grandmother after she died was a charm bracelet she wore on special occasions. Among the tiny silver plaques celebrating wedding anniversaries and Mother’s Days, there were several charms from TOPS—Take Off Pounds Sensibly—a weight-loss support program she had belonged to for many years. One of the charms was in the shape of a bathroom scale, with the words “TOO FAT” where the numbers should be. My grandmother had survived polio as a child and the decades of pain that followed. She had raised five children and fostered several more, and she could whip up fresh bread on a dime. But she could never celebrate her body’s marvelous strength because she wore the words TOO FAT as a symbol of shame.

I checked and TOPs, the aforementioned weight loss group seems like an interesting and wonderful opportunity for people who struggle with their weight that isn’t commercialized.
Take Off Pounds Sensibly is the short name for TOPS Club, Inc., the original nonprofit, noncommercial network of weight-loss support groups and wellness education organization. TOPS offers tools and programs for healthy living and weight management, with exceptional group fellowship and recognition. Established in 1948 to champion weight-loss support and success, we've helped millions of people live healthier lives.
e; found the charm.



And this next paragraph is the whiniest shit I’ve read this week. First of all the implication that women that aren’t working class don’t get pressured to diet. I can’t even, it’s just, very “poor me!” Blaming her weight on family, genetics, anyone other than herself. At least her grandmother tried and had self agency. It’s a touch sad but mostly just pathetic. Why give away your power?

Poor and working-class women, like those in my family, were often encouraged to look to their weight as the source of their problems rather than the larger forces of structural issues like misogyny and capitalism. If you had trouble finding a job or your husband was cheating on you, getting skinny was supposed to be the answer. Meanwhile, weight-loss programs like TOPS and Weight Watchers offered them a community where they could bond over their shared frustrations and trade recipes for zero-calorie whipped-cream desserts they might be able to trick their husbands into eating. Through these rituals, women who had very little agency in their lives were given an illusory sense of control over their own bodies and circumstances. When they failed, as they mostly did, it reinscribed the shame of living in a fat body.

 

[Smug Cat]

God this article is amazing.

She's, what, Class I obese? Definitely a "smallfat."

The Alison Schwartz in question:

I look at this picture and it's just... yeah she didn't deserve to die for being the size of eight regular women or whatever, but that is almost certainly why she did. Deserve doesn't have a whole lot to do with how that works.

“This message—that a fat person will likely be responsible for their own death—has long been used against the plus-size community in a flawed attempt to shame them into losing weight,” Russo argued. “But no one should be forced into changing their body.”

This is some of the most amazingly self-indulgent tripe. It's not the people "fat shaming" that are forcing people like this woman to change their bodies. If they were able to actually force anything this woman might still be a alive. No, it's the laws of biology and physics, and they don't give a shit about your whiny moralizing or your "shoulds." She still ded. idk how people this disconnected from the way the world works even manage to function on a basic level.
