Child loses weight by eating healthy and playing outside and joining sport teams.

Seriously, fuck these people, who literally wallow in their misery. They want a 9 year old to have years shaved off her life and grow up being mocked and tormented, to grow into a sedentary, unhealthy adult.

 

[Bluebersaur]

This group personally gets under my skin for a multitude of reasons.

As someone who was once obese, I sincerely hate seeing groups that insist obesity is "normal" and "healthy". I can attest to the many physical and emotional pains obesity brings you. And to shame a 9-year-old who did a wonderful thing for herself by losing 65 pounds and become more actively involved in school? Fuck this group. That young girl just made a great decision for herself and has saved herself years of various torture had she continued the route of serious obesity. I wish I had made that realization when I was young; would have saved myself a lot of shit if I had worked on losing weight at that age.

I would personally love to just throttle the people who run this stupid blog. Jesus fucking christ.

I think my favorite TITP post is was when around the time the Les Mis movie came out, they were complaining about how there were no fat people in the movie. Y'know, a book/musical that takes place in a very corrupt time in France and people are starving. And most of the cast lives in absolute poverty. You're not gonna get a lot of fat people out of that.

I think Mrs. Thenardier might of been fat in the book, but you know that they would spin in into "Oh of course the only fat person is a villain!" Ugh. I think out of all the SJWs, fat acceptance people might be the craziest.

What does this have to do with being fat or thin? I need to know because I'm thin and want to make sure I'm maxxing out my thin privilege points.

because you will be dead long before you can go to a nursing home and she knows it
Thin privilege is not dying from a heart attack at 25 and getting to go to a nursing home for MS at 30
EDIT: for some reason I always misspell the word privilege

 

[TremendousBoredom]

I'd love to see their reaction to the girl who had to have gastric bypass due to overeating from brain damage causing her to constantly feel hungry.

Actually wait, no. Because it would probably cause inarticulate rage.

Spoiler: Les Mis sperging

Madame Thenardiér is described as a giantess and physically imposing throughout the novel. Of course, she and her husband own an inn and later cajole people into giving them money; they could probably afford food.

Well, of course. Jean Valjean's family is starving, so he has to steal a loaf of bread. You can't get fat from splitting a single loaf among 3 starving people (unless you have CUNDISHONS, of course.)

Guys this is a problem that solves itself. The generation of "healthy at any size" fatties are going to drop dead in 15-20 years. Just ride it out with your beautiful health and understanding of calories in/ calories out.

 

[chimpburgers]

Thin privilege? Really? They're just enabling the couch potatoes out there with this rubbish they are pushing.

 

[Sanshain]

What really fucking annoys me about these kinds of people is that they seem to have forgotten what it's like to feel healthy. I'm currently mildly overweight (a few pounds, basically due to under-active thyroid), but I was fairly hefty at one point. It didn't feel good at all. In fact, when I started doing exercise, I realized just how bad I felt. I wasn't depressed, sad or in any way in denial about myself, but working out simply feels great if you do it right. The adrenaline rush feels awesome, plus the satisfaction of managing to do just a little bit more each time is frankly addictive. I'm still not as fit as I could be, but I'm enjoying the process of getting in shape. It's not a chore.

The only reason I can think of that would explain why these kind of twits can't enjoy exercise and indeed actively rail against it is if they're clinically depressed. I was clinically depressed during my early-middle teens, and one of the ways I tried dealing with it was through exercise. It just was not the same in any way; I just felt tired and despondent afterwards. Although I have no scientific evidence to back this claim up and won't pretend it is anything but speculation, I'd be very surprised if these people weren't just a bundle of neurosis waiting to happen. It's just pathetic beyond words.

HAES would carry more weight (heh) if more people treated it as that, yes, people can still be fit and fat. It's a thing that can and does happen, and personally I am an example. I did exercise that burned roughly 2,000 calories a day (3 hours of intensive swimming every afternoon) for four months when I was on the swim team, ate only 1,000 - 1,200 a day, and still stayed fat. By calories in/calories out logic, I should be a twig. Always have been hefty, and that trend continues. 5'8" and 15 stone is a hellish *gulp* when glancing at BMI charts. Blood tests years later show a pretty much dead thyroid, with my meds for something something power level not helping matters. Whoopsie daisy.

Stings a bit when the assumption of people being fat simply because of shit diet and laziness when it ain't the end all be all of things. Makes me have less sympathy, though, for people who can easily lose weight by just going for a walk every now and again or change from diets consisting of terribly unhealthy foods and drop weight like nothing. If I ate for shit I would probably have ballooned to 500-600 pounds or something. Instead I cook everything I make basically from scratch so I know precisely what's going in me at mealtimes.

TL;DR - HAES can be a thing but not when you are shoveling lard in your face for your meals.

 

[StanCommodore]

What chafes me about these idiots isn't necessarily that they're killing themselves through their own shitty decision-making. Pretty much everyone I've observed in this particular branch of "activism" has shown themselves to be extremely stubborn and bitter. I don't think there's a way to make them see reason.

No, what really pisses me off is that they're putting this false gospel of complacency and self-neglect out there for the young and impressionable, especially on Tumblr. You think some self-dxing 15 year old with a zillion kintypes is gonna be able to evaluate HAES with a critical eye? If anything, she's probably looking for validation and reassurance even though her unending Tumblring has caused her to put on a few extra pounds.

I don't wanna go so far as to call these guys a death cult, but they're spewing some pretty scary shit.

By their own logic, they have no right to police her weight loss either.

Besides, how does one "practice" this magical idea of "health at every size?" Do they exercise? Are there any milestones by which to measure? Are there minimum standards of physical activity to which they adhere? Indeed, bro, do they even lift?

Or is HAES just a code word for living in denial and doing what the fuck ever they want while fooling themselves into thinking they won't be first on the roasting spit when the motorcycle mutant cannibals chase them down (because lord knows they can't take more than ten steps without getting winded) in the post-apocalyptic wasteland that is surely coming?

[Sanshain]

In fairness a lot of diets are essentially useless. A diet can't really replace exercise as a form of weight control. There are certainly valid health benefits to dieting, but those are generally for people who aren't eating correctly instead of eating decently but leading a sedentary lifestyle.

 

[RecordStoreToughGuy]

The thing about dieting is that it implies a temporary deprivation to get to a goal, when it should be more of a lifestyle change in the form of an effort to eat better on the whole. You can't be healthy if all you eat is twinkies and Mountain Dew.

Spoiler: Rules for being fat

#1. Never be seen eating in public.

#2. If you must eat, make sure it is uber-healthy yet tasteless. Never eat anything that is fattening, sweet, or tasty in any way.

#3. Exercise daily to the point of vomiting. This cannot be fun exercise like dancing or skating (who wants to see that!). It must be boring and miserable.

#4. Never be seen exercising in public; you must only exercise in your own home. We don’t want even the possibility of seeing a little fat jiggle. If you break this rule, we reserve the right to call you names and throw trash at you.

#5. You must be on a diet at all times. Preferably, you must be paying for it in some way. We need you to keep supporting the 104+ (Canada & the US) billion dollar diet industry. Yes, we know that you will only gain the weight back plus more. That is part of our plan!

#6. Take diet pills. They may give you a stroke or damage your heart, but you will lose 2-5% of your weight as long as you eat right and exercise as well. Of course, you will gain it back the minute you stop taking the drug.

#7. If a diet does not work, go have your stomach amputated or squeezed (weight loss surgery). You might die of complications. You will be 4x more likely to kill yourself than the rest of the population. If you don’t die, you will most likely have long-term complications and nutritional deficiencies that will reduce your quality of life significantly. You also have an excellent chance of becoming an alcoholic. Oh, and 80% of you will regain the weight.

#8. All your attention, your money, and your focus must be on the fruitless task of losing weight at all times. Nothing else matters. You should never have a life until you succeed at that, no matter that 95% of you will fail and that those who succeed where likely thin folks losing some weight they had gained.

#9. Wear dark, shapeless clothing for which you must pay outrageously. No bright colors or stylishness of any kind.

#10. Never wear anything that lets your flesh be seen. No sleeveless shirts, no shorts, and definitely NO BATHING SUITS!

#11. Never be seen having a good time with friends in public. We want to believe you are sitting home miserable. We certainly do not want to see you laugh.

#12. Never imagine that someone could want you romantically. Love is not for the likes of you. If you do get into a relationship and they happen to be abusive, suck it up and be happy someone bothers to interact with you in any way.

#13. If you break rule #12 and end up in a relationship, never show affection in public. This is especially true if your SO is fat.

#14. If you have children, they must eat perfectly. If they are fat also, we may come take them away.

#15. If you are a fat woman and you get raped, be glad for the attention.

#16. Work daily to blend into the shadows. Never remind us that you are there. We don’t want to see you.

#17. Never expect to have friends. If you do have friends and are female, accept that they might keep you around to make them look good. If you are male, make them laugh, fatty.

#18. Either be very quiet or jolly. Never, ever let us see you angry or upset. Take how we treat you and stuff it.

#19. Never pursue a higher education. If you break this rule and do, don’t you dare complain about accommodations. So what if you class does not have a desk that fits you?

#20. Never pursue a professional career. We don’t want to see the likes of you in our courtrooms or our offices. You won’t be able to find fashionable professional clothes anyway.

#21. Never complain when you are denied a job because of your looks.

#22. If we deign to employ you, never expect to receive the same pay as your coworkers; just be happy that we gave you a job.

#23. Never expect to get a promotion. We could not reward a fat person for anything.

#24. Go to the doctor often. The doctor will tell you that anything wrong with you could be fixed by losing weight. Never complain or speak up in response. Pay your money, hang your head in shame and get out.

#25. Never tell a thin person that thin shaming and fat oppression are different. Never point out that thin shaming is part of the hatred of fat. Never note that thin shaming is calling people names while fat oppression leads to lack of health care options, lack of job options and lack of acceptance in society.

#26. Never tell feminists or diversity advocates that fat belongs as a protected condition. You should not be protected, because you could change it if you really wanted to, fatty.

#27. Never be an academic that focuses on fat studies. We won’t publish your work, even if it is rigorous and well-written. We will keep you from tenure-track jobs. If you do land one of those, we just might deny you tenure.

#28. Never succeed at anything. If you do, we will point out that it doesn’t really count since you are still fat.

#29. Never stand up, stand out or speak up in any way. This would be glorifying obesity. We can’t have that.

#30. Whatever you do, NEVER become a fat activist and point out that society treats fat people unfairly. How dare you question our abuse and oppression of you!

"Fat activist" is just laughable. And I say that as a fat person (I'm trying to change). If most of your problems can be solved by improving your diet and using a treadmill then you are not oppressed.

I lost the most weight when I started walking and taking the bus to university as opposed to driving a car. I understand this isn't an option for everybody, but I only walked about thirty to forty-five minutes a day total and I lost a ton of weight. Never once felt like vomiting.

Maybe people feel like vomiting if their only exercise is eating a giant jar of vanilla almond butter and then sticking their finger down their throat.
