Yo! I'm wanting to start doing some yoga for mobility. Does your cheapest program include yoga? just wanted to ask before I purchase :)
body positivity should be for awareness of stretch marks, cellulite, acne, scars, amputees, burn victims, disabled people, elderly people who still manage to exercise and be healthy, people who take care of their bodies and are healthy but still show their flaws and imperfections. not for people who don't take care of themselves and show off an unhealthy lifestyle. period.
EXACTLY! I used to be 78lbs overweight and I am disabled...used my disability as an excuse why I was overweight for a while (in reality I had a sugar addiction and ate all my feelings away). Now I lost all the weight, my disability is so much better now and never ever will my excuses get in the way. The fat positive community needs a reality check....stop punishing yourself and start to truly love your health and body.
Some people are bed ridden and really can’t work out like at all they can do mobility stretches maybe. So all people should be appreciated but not enabling “lazy” folks. Lazy is in quotes because it’s not a medical term if someone is lazy there is something occurring even if it’s just lack of support or motivation. Still the fat movement is enabling a lack of motivation.
a generic potato same I have severe digestive issues similar to Crohn and I have ibs I’m trying to get a gastroparasis diagnosis and working out and gaining or losing weight is so hard but it’s not impossible it’s ok if some people accept what is. Some people can’t change and that’s ok but you still have to try it’s not ok to be complacent I know because I saw pictures of even after I was my sickest and I do look unhealthy I always wondered why people assumed I was anorexic when I ate normal I ate even 4000 calories sometimes didn’t exercise wasn’t bulemic but I was eating junk food and i felt like I was literally dying at 28 years old even tho I gained 20 pounds and was healthier. I had to work out and I had to bulk and work hard. You can’t give up until you’ve tried all you can
Lol it autocorrected to potato
❤❤❤❤
Hi, fat black lady here. I'm 40 pounds down and I'm taking care of my body because I want to set an example for my children and have a better quality of life even in older age. Thanks for what you do.
Good job!
Congrats, Brittany!! Well done 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Amazing accomplishment! 😎👍
❤❤❤❤
nice
First got into body positivity because of a friend that had a giant scar on his chest. He finally got the confidence to take his shirt off at the beach and we were all super proud, you think his insta posts do crazy well, when was the last time you saw a quadruple amputee on the trending page?. It's crazy that fatness overtook this movement and are now getting upset at other people getting into it. Fat people are not the most marginalized people and I don't think a lot of people realize this.
Yeah... It wouldve been a nice community for my mom, she had a terrible car crash at 19 and has scars all over her stomach and some on her face.
She's been so self conscious about it, she was a yoyo dieter even before this, so I'm pretty sure she was never very confident in her image. Someone like her could've used that kind of positivity and sense of community.
You're right. Its sick that fat activists claim others have privilage while they sit there entitled about something they can actually change. (Most of the time)
I’m self conscious about being too skinny. I’m always trying to gain some good weight and get stronger. Maybe I should blame the obese people for my problems! Let’s see how they like it! Haha!
@@soonerborn7603 I hope you gain some good weight and be strong and fit, good luck! ❤
We have reached a new level of idiocy when an “acceptance” movement does nothing but exclude people
This 👍
I’m glad to not be part of the overweight community anymore. Went from almost 200 pounds at 5 ft tall to 105 ✨✨ I have never felt so good in my life!
Wow thats really amazing!!! 👏🏻👏🏻
1) you are so pretty 🥺 and 2) I don’t know you but I’m proud of you 👏🏻 🥳
I've never been overweight so I genuinely don't understand
"I can't take away my fatness."
It's called weight lost and it's possible. It's just change of diet and workout, not some woodoo.
Exactly its just an excuse to not work
I have lost over 17 lbs during quarantine. I owe some of this to your videos that motivated me stay on track. Thank you so much!
K shows what you CAN do even in quarantine!
Swolenormous exactly!! I love that you always stress that quarantine is not an excuse to eat shit! I’ve lost more weight during quarantine than in the previous months combined because I was cooking more at home and had more time for daily walks. Keep on speaking these hard truths because people need to hear it!
Quarantine has actually been GREAT for me in terms of weight loss. I have a lot sensory sensitivity issues so it’s very stressful for me being out and about (I still always did it, though, everyone has to keep a job), but ever since I started working from home, my anxiety has gone down. And I’ve lost like fifteen pounds =)
Awesome! Keep crushing it ❤️
Good work!! 👏
This take she has is so dumb. The posts she's pissed about are actually good body positive posts. Seeing that even people who are in shape and attractive still have flaws is important.
Karl agreed =)
When I first heard of body positivity I was recovering from anorexia and thought “wow this mindset could be great!” But learning what it actually is. An excuse to keep yourself unhealthy. Like I thought it was originally meant for people with deformities or missing a leg or burn victims but overall could extend to just “love yourself”. But nope!
Rae it WAS...
Swolenormous It’s sad because these obese people saying they can’t change are taking things away from people who really can’t. But heck my dad is losing mobility from Parkinson’s and runs every day and does yoga. There’s a guy on my run path who also runs but is missing a leg. I have a friend with a medical condition that makes her retain weight and needed back surgery and is crushing it with swimming and has lost 30 pounds in the past year. If you say you can’t do something it’ll never happen. You just gotta do it and find a way that works for you and your specific limitations. Love your message!
Rae Those people are just lazy, not because they can’t. Or bc they really gave up, but then they complain being overweight. Step by step, people can do it. Nothing is impossible and hard just a bit of dedication.
@@b.a.pjiyongikon9600 Exactly! There is always a "healthiest version of you" as I like to call it. Obviously people are given different lots in life and that is gonna look different individually, but if there's a will there's a way.
@@deannarjt same, I left the recovery community on Instagram because it's filled with that bs. Some people are going as far as saying you're not recovering just because you don't want to eat junk all the time, or because you wanna exercise and all. As if being healthy was a disorder.
I used to be part of the body positive movement because I was learning to love my body as I was getting healthier; ie loving my body and the skin that I'm in by exercising, eating healthy and losing weight. Initially the community was welcoming!
As I saw the scale go down, I lost friends who call themselves "BoPo activists" because they were just gaining massive amounts of weight, and called my intentional weight loss, me reclaiming MY HEALTH "fatphobic."
I'm glad I call the SwoleFam my community now, a community where doing positive things for my body is both expected and praised. Thank you SwoleFam and Papa Swolio for holding me to a higher standard than I settled for with that community.
Hell yeah! Preach girl! Being healthy is the most body positive thing you can do ❤️
When I was 94-110kgs I was accused of thin privilge despite being on thé verge of Morbid obesity. They are insane and need to be called out
How about we fix racism, sexism and the environment before we start saying fat people are marginalised cos last time I checked nobody has taken rights from fat people in the developed world. All I know is the more I learn about the body positivity movement that is being presented online is just keeping in line with the patriarchy of making sure to shame women on their bodies and telling them how to behave.
Are you saying that its men that are shaming women on their bodies and telling them how to behave? Isn't patriarchy about male domination over women?
‘You call it fat phobic, I call it health centric’ 🔥🔥🔥💪🏻 Love this!!!
I watch your videos when I’m feeling down about this journey. Lost 50 pounds so far :)
Deborah L how can you be feeling down at all?! That’s great!!!
I'm with you! Congrats
Well done #7Pillars beeshe...💪😎👍
Swolenormous thank you!! ❤️
Deborah L awesome job!
Sounds like a Cult to me
It's a death cult. Straight out of the pits of hell. Telling people "no no....it's fine to kill yourself! It's positive! Just stay unhealthy. Get MORE unhealthy. It's ok! Just eat. Eat until you disable yourself. Eat until you are in pain, immobile, sick, and then die. It's ok to kill yourself. Good, in fact!"
She is dragging down other women. Imagine, female teenagers, reading these posts.
Someone is thin (the word is repeated several times) and it's his/her fault???
Even the word Skinny is repeated a lot of times.
The only requirement for being “body positive” should be having a body. So basically everyone except ghosts.
This Channel Has an Attitude You’re a ghostist. Ghost lives matter. I will not tolerate your ghostphobic rhetoric!
When you have to show them your bmi card to see if you're big enough to enter their club
Lol
What makes me so mad is the fact that when I injured my foot, I gained weight. It took me years to get back to a healthy weight, and now I can’t love my body because I chose to change when my weight started to take a toll on my health. It’s not thin privilege, it’s fat consequence.
Same here! Ruptured my Achilles so spent a few months being sedentary. Plus it was the holiday season so....eating. Went from about 125 to 140 (I'm 5'3).
Got in touch with my trainer friend, followed the program to the letter, was back to 125 in about 2 months.
That was a few years ago. Then, had an illness that caused a rapid weight loss then a "rubber band" weight gain. I'm now heavier than I want to be (154lbs) but I feel motivated because I've seen the results of good nutrition and hard work before, and I plan to see them again.
My husband walked in on tesshorniday, "what the hell are you watching?" Love it.
Did she seriously say, "the l u x u r y of standing up straight?" 😳
Way back in the day, body positivity was started for queer bodies who were being discriminated against. Now it’s a “love and admire me for being overweight.” 😐
If you were so secure and proud of your body why would you care if anybody accepts it or not. Your insecurities aren’t my responsibility.
Mr. Gorgenchuck intent is what matters
I can't with folks saying body positive is for folks that are obese, when it was originally for someone like me, with a big ass facial scar and lumpy muscle tissue due to a tumor excision going wrong. It would cost me 30k to fix my face, and even then I wouldn't look completely normal, but sure, the movement is totally for obese people.
What fresh hell is this? Is this chick actually working under the assumption that there are people without insecurities. It's pretty simple. Killing yourself with food is not Body Positive and it never will be no matter how many feelings that hurts.
Felt like he was reading a distorted steak menu at the beginning “supreme fat” 😂
Much love papaswolio
You’re consistency and work rate is yet to be matched by anyone I have seen , it’s almost ridiculous
persianking1374 😎🙌😂😂 a distorted steak menu
Yes, I would like one Supreme Fat and a Diet Coke, please.
Ngl this comment made me hungry 😂
“Why do all the millionaires get so much attention for their lavish lifestyles? Why do they get all the admiration? Why am who is working a 9-5 boring ass job not getting the same attention? Mimimi... “Simple answer: you are not i terrsting or inspirational. It doesn’t require “skill” to be fat. Everyone can be fat. However, to be fit and go to the gym everyday requires work.
Reminds me of the time when a morbid obese person told me (formerly morbidly obese, lost 40 kg) that it isn't anyones business to comment on fat people bc it hurts their feelings and isn't bodypositive. And health is relative and being so fat isn't the reason she's got health problems (yet the hormon problems got better, when she lost weight, but no connection between the two). When I layed down my reasons she totally blocked off. These people are willingly blind.
HEALTH positivity OVER BODY, please. HEALTH, HEALTH, HEALTH, DAMMIT!
But people who are unhealthy because of diseases or accidents needs body positivity too.
@@arisataiga7854 true, that's a good point
Fat Positivity is the ONLY thing that ever made me even consider being mean to an obese person because they are a bunch of insecure bullies....thankfully I got some really nice friends (they are overweight) that don't follow it and treat me like a human and not like I'm the worst person ever. :)
Also...everyone deserves body positivity! Not just obese people! I knew multiple people that needed it as I grew up. A girl with a deformed hand [she had 3 fingers only], a skinny girl that kept trying to lose more and more weight,...
I was never social so I didn't know many people.... :T
I was the one struggling and complaining about being unable to wear all the clothes I like, so quarantine seemed like the best time to actually do something. Started on the 25th March, lost 26 lb since then. Thanks for being so inspirational
Lol, she actually has one good point: most people who follow those body positivity instagram accounts only do so, not because they actually don't care about their body looks, but because they are actually super unhappy with their body and seeing other fat people make them feel better about themselves.
I've had plenty of people call me fat, I've had people bigger than me get mad when I've referred to myself as fat. "If you're fat what does that make me?!"...Fat. Sorry. It's not an insult. It's a truth of this current moment. I've had fat people get mad at me for dieting because apparently if I want to better myself and lose weight, it's insulting to every person bigger than me. I've had to quit trying to fit everyone's mold and do me. I've got to do the best for me even if everyone has some opinion about it.
I’m the only person that has to be positive about my body. I don’t require validation from my peers, a social movement, or strangers. I have been morbidly obese but I loved myself, and l wanted to live, so I dropped the weight and got in shape. I still don’t care what people think about me. 😀
I have a healthy BMI, so of course I’m too thin for body positivity!! What a silly question 🤣
Could you imagine though someone getting the "supreme" logo tatooed on their stomach and being all proud of that saying they're "supreme fat" lmao.
“We’re the fat acceptance movement. You’re not welcome.”
These ‘thin’ influencers are so important for people (including me) because they show that everyone has things like stretch marks and cellulite and that’s it’s normal to have and can’t be got rid of. I can never understand why the body positive movement frowns down on people who are actually trying to be positive about their bodies
It sounds like she wants to make a living off being an influencer without putting in the work. You hit the nail on the head - she is jealous and instead of doing the work, she whines about it.
PS: glad to see the peppermint tip back 🤣
Papa you should find some social media influencers that really do deserve to be part of the body positive community.
I follow a girl on Instagram who does body competitions and she did it while she had a stoma bag that she was so self conscious of. She is truly inspirational.
Zoeywrightfitness is her instagram she is awesome!
I’ve been told I’m not included in body positivity because I’m normally about 130, give or take. I thought at first everyone was included and figured I’d be included for my multiple scars. It took years to get used to having them. One just got much bigger, and I’m not thrilled about it because it’s not healed yet. However, I was called ‘triggering’ because I’m a fit-thin person. I was told nobody makes fun of my scars because I’m ‘conventionally attractive,’ which I’m not. I have several tattoos and piercings and go for a punk/goth look. In the real world I’ve gotten a lot of shit because of my scars. Even just having strangers ask me about my scars, hoping for some gory story or assuming they are self-harm related, gets under my skin. Where is the love for scars?! Trust me, I’ve met people don’t give a shit about whether I’m in shape or not because all they can see is the 10 inch scar on my abdomen and the drain scars around it. They see the scar on my throat and think I either almost got murdered by a serial killer or I did it myself. They see the scar on my left leg and assume whether or not I can walk. I deserve to be body positive, because I didn’t do this to myself!
I’ve always been thin. If I had a dollar for every time I got told to eat a cheeseburger by someone glaring at me angrily I’d be a millionaire by now. It’s not right. Like I’m not allowed to be self conscious about any part of my body (I’ve had three kids and it is far from perfect after that) because I’m smaller. I’m not allowed to be proud of any part of my body because I’m small. Why can’t we all just learn to love ourselves and want the best for our bodies? Why do others have to hate someone else simply because they’re thin or fit? Can’t we just love each other as human beings and want the best for each other?? I’m not sorry that I’m small, I’ll never apologize for that.
I grew up with obese people in my family and it steered me down a dangerous path to having anorexia and bulimia. I worked hard to get back to having a healthy relationship with food and being a healthier weight. I still have stretch marks, some cellulite, my chest hasn’t been the same since breastfeeding all three kids, I have bunions on my big a** feet, and I have hereditary chronic health issues that make me feel broken some days, and Dangit, I’m allowed to love my body anyways, regardless of what angry bitter folks wanna say. Telling me to “eat some damn food” is actually a trigger that I have to overcome every time I hear it. I wish those people would get back to the center of what being body positive REALLY means.
Jealousy... They wish they were like that.
Honestly stop giving them attention and just live your lives because these people will always do more harm than good .we are just stressing over someone who is dictating our lives, because they don't get enough attention for being unhealthy or are in denial of reality 🤦...I used to listen to them but now I am over it 💁
P.S. love the honesty on this channel !
I agree with you 100% i had an accident 15yrs ago i was unable to walk in wheelchair,was in a bed for yrs then i look at myself and was very disappointed i got a gastric sleeve did not lose any weight told me i was over eating after so many tests my sleeve was fine i got discharge from the program, was so disappointed so i tryed every diet going i was a pisterian since 11yr old ,weight 300bls that was my time to do something about it so became a vegan that was 7yrs ago i am now a healthy weight 140pounds and happy i am doing great,keep up the good work
Love your videos! Always facts!
I love how you tell it how it is! Much love! ❤️❤️❤️
This video is spot on! Thanks for the motivation to make a change!
Yeah Papa Swolio! Keep up that grind!!!
THANK YOU! This body positivity shit has been skewed so far it can't even be called that anymore! I'm a paraplegic, so I have some muscles in my abs that I CAN'T tighten and unless I'm underweight, I have a pooch of fat that I can't hide at the bottom of my abdomen (below so many scars that I hate BTW) I HATE IT, but the "body positivity" stuff SHOULD help me feel better about that, AND my scars, AND my stick legs, AND my giant arms, but I'm not fat enough, my burn scars aren't cellulite, so I don't get to have "Body Positivity". FUCK THAT! I went through hell (I GO through hell) to keep living through the shit I've been through, that should be enough to make me proud and positive. I know it makes me proud to see others be positive for people who have been through shit and keep their chin up!
Always listening to your videos while working out, it keeps me going even on bad days.
I loved this video! This is exactly how I feel about it!
oh my goodness!! Thanks for covering this!! I sent this a few times over Instagram hoping it would be discussed
Thanks for putting the Swolefam ads at the end of the video, that was a lot better and i still watched the video to the entirety :)
Love LOVE your content!
Andrea McClure 🙌🙌🙌
I love this channel 💜
Man i really like your content because it’s simply the truth, you are spilling straight facts and I truly enjoy what you’re doing! Keep up the good work man💪🏼
You said it straight. I was in an accident and slowly getting back into the game of working out. I have been insecure about my scars that I can’t change from what happened. You’ve been my motivation.
Acording to BMI , i was never obese but was overweight , 5'4 i weighed 170lb. Changing my habits was hard and always ended up with a fluctiating weight. But this january gavd me a new year resolution and due to an artist that inspired me, i set out on a mission to love myself. I started with taking care of my skin, it was an easy way to pamper myself and also required me to look in the mirror every day for long time. Then i moved on to my diet, changing it not because i was chasing a beauty standard but because i wanted to live longer and happier. I wanted to change because i loved myself, i am learning to love myself. 20lb lighter i can still be rather critical on my looks, weight doesnt change that entirely, but it does feel good when i notice how hard it is to MAKE a double chin and fitting into those shorts i wore when i was 9th grade.
**Please read**
My father died a few weeks ago at the age of 67. He was heavy, I wouldn't say obese (5'11 245lb), but maybe. But point is he died bc he couldn't say no to the foods that exacerbated his type 2 diabetes, which became insulin dependent etc. In fact his doctor said "To be honest yoir father died from a mong term addiction to sugar". In his youth my father was an athlete and in great shape. But he retired and it went to shit. I am obese, I am working with my doctor to fix that in a healthy way. I don't want to be dead at 67 because I couldn't say no to sugar. My dad followed the "eat what you want" mantra....and it killed him. And that changed my entire view, I am not healthy, am I beautiful? Yup. Am I a good person? Yup. Do people like me and want to be around me? Yup. But I am obese and I am unhealthy and that is something I can and will change. I don't need anyone trying to soapbox for me to be accepted, people love and accept me. But I am aware (maybe it's my education in anatomy and physiology) that this will be my cause of death if I don't change it.
I’m a slim girl (135lbs and 5’8”) and I’m sick of being skinny shamed by fat ppl left and right. The worst part is when they talk shit, I can’t say well you’re fat and jealous, leave me alone, because that would be rude. But them telling me to eat and telling me I’m too skinny is cool, thou.🙄On top of all this, my BMI is perfectly healthy.🤦🏼♀️
Have you ever seen Fatgirlflow? She used to shame people for losing weight
Omg. Seriously. .... thats a new level of insecurities 😱
ennui blue Not yet :)
Yeah, she's a nutcase. Her partner J (IG = Comfyfattravels *smh*) probably weighs a good 600lbs. Papa, you really need to check them out.
Yeah her and her page aren't gonna live much longer if they keep following her. Talking about "my weight doesn't effect my immune system" ha okay
She's trash
THIS video, this speech, should be the leading approach for body positivity!!!!
This may be the best video papa ever made (in my point of view)...
I started the Cpuch to 5km since quarinetine started and honestly ita been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I can now run further and now I'm looking into strength training. Haven't lost any weight and still trying to learn how to count calories but seriously proud of the progress I've made. You're videos are wo fearful to watch and I use them to give myself a reality check when i feel like falling back on old habits. Thank you Papa Swol you're awesome x
I have had two open heart surgeries (due to a heart condition I cannot help!) and I am only 22 yrs old. My last op was just in March and I have lost half of the body fat I’ve needed to just by lifestyle changes.. I can’t help the big scar going down my chest and quite frankly idc! It doesn’t bother me and I actually love showing it off.. starting cardiac rehab today to get back into exercise. Thanks for talking about this.
Love you Papa Swolio. One person that actually has common sense.
You’re a huge inspiration forme losing weight I just started but still BIG inspiration
I see your video, I upvote. Thank you very much.
Barbora Dubr appreciate it!
Supreme Allied Fat Commander. Was waiting for today’s Nuts 🥜 and had to watch the Nicocado one right before... thanks #SwoleText 😊. Body positivity should come down to being happy about you in your own skin. Accepting each and everyday where you are at and make the changes necessary to reach your goals and ambitions.
Everyone should accept,respect and love themselves and there bodies.
I personally think you are absolutely correct AF on this. I also think those people are dealing with a lot more than just weight problems....I also think that social media platforms enable these types when we give feedback they don't like- sometimes the truth hurts, and that's the part that's supposed to make us want to change or do better.
You are soooo influential!!! Love your content!!!!
teresa husvar thank you!
Love your channel ❤️ it keeps me so motivated. I went from 90kg (198.5 pounds) to 68kg (149.9 pounds). Never felt better!
hell yeah!
everyone say thank you swole king
Wow. Just wow. My mind is hurting from what she wrote. Just eat healthy and exercise!
People do not get the difference between body positivity and fat acceptance
It's after quarantine started that my personal workout plan really kicked off. I'm that skinny fat girl that these people hate, but I've been working out in my home for a few weeks now and I am starting to see what looks like muscle tone where my abs are. This will surely piss them off 😈
I would like to see all these "HAES" and "fat acceptance" people weigh in on these same Idols of theirs once they reach their old age (if they reach it it all) and see all the health problems they have. As a person who was once thin but became fat, I am appalled at the fact that these people choose to ignore all the very real consequences of an unhealthy life. I am body positive, I am choosing to change my body so I can live a longer, healthier... more POSITIVE Life! Also the terms "super fat" and "infinifat" are offensive, not empowering. I know I would be upset if someone called me that. These fat acceptance chicks have let the sugar rot their brains a bit.
Thats easy bc they dont. Obese ppl dont get old
I won't even post my progress as I already face some issues with those who are still bigger that live around me. I've completely changed my body composition. My health has improved so much since losing 90lbs. 1st my knees DON'T hurt much now nor does it hurt to just move my body around.
I love Papa ♥️ he's the real deal
Missed miss horniday 🦄. Hearing about the fat acceptance was what lit up my fire to not accept what I let myself become. I wasn't happy or healthy (mind or body) so the world didn't need to change I did. Happier and healthier every day with real food, exercise and meditation.
I was thinking of doing a segment on my Instagram to log how well mederma stretch mark gel actually works, but if the "body positive movement" is going for people who aren't fat enough i'm starting to reconsider doing anything social media related because they're vicious.
the unicorn at the end 😆😆
I use to be self conscious about the stretch marks on my upper arms but now I'm actually quite proud of them. I was overweight from a young age and when I was decided I'd had enough. Here's the thing my family were the ones,which would make fun of me then get pissed off after I lost the weight.
Wassup guy's!...
Wassup papaswolio!...
#7Pillars is my life bible & i fucking love this way of life & community!💪😎👍💛
I have lost 46 lbs during 3 months. Thanks to your videos, it help me get over my binging and vomiting habits.
I listen to your videos when I workout, it give me motivation to keep going. I still have around 33 ~ 44 lbs to lose to reach my healthy weight.
I will never understand why people think they have the right to not be offended. I can say I’m fit and body positive, I can say obese isn’t healthy, etc, and someone can be offended and that’s IT end of story you’re offended, and what? I need to change what I say because of it? That’s not how it works. I’m free to say what I want and someone else is free to be offended by it and that’s just it
A lot of those accounts she shared started getting hate comments and messages (not very mental health positive as she says she promotes mental health) and she even shamed one account that was helping people overcome ED’s!!!
The funniest part is when you read their posts complaining about not getting enough attention in a petty way and then answer them lol
I always think that the biggest act of self-love is TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF. if you really love your body so much why don't you treat it well? I'm a rock climber and yeah I lost a couple pounds when I got more active but WOW I fucking love my body for my muscles and I never feel better EVER than after a long climb. that's self-love. not drowning yourself in unhealthy food.
Body positivity was a huge help for me to loose over 100lb. Now I'm left with a lot of loose skin and still have a lot of insecurities.
But when I returned to my old body positivity groups, I've been dismissed because I'm no longer 'big enough' to understand the issues at hand. I've been called fatphobic and people act like I've betrayed the movement by losing weight.
It's awful that fat acceptance has taken over the actually useful voices of body positivity.
"Supreme fat fucking overlord" love this 😂
I'm scared this is only getting worse. I'll do everything I can to get better in the meantime.
I just wanted a good way to motive myself to get more fit/healthy besides my mean internal mantra. “You’re a gross slug go to the gym.” I hoped body positivity would be like “be happy in the current body you have. Don’t avoid going to the beach Because you’re embarrassed. Experience life and be kind to your body by having healthy habits so you can experience more life.”
She also responded to Obese to Beast saying that Body Positivity is for obese people of color.... I've made a video about this myself. There's sooooo much wrong with this. Body positive is taking care of yourself!! It's taken me a long enough time to listen to my body and change my ways.
I have no problem with them using the term ‘fat acceptance’ (even tho I find it ridiculous) but they need to drop the ‘body positivity’ tag.
I agree that body positivity is for those that are learning to love the bodies they’ve been given either at birth or through accident/disease etc. It’s 2 separate things.
Supreme Fat Overlord? I might use that for a comic or video game
My trim niece (not skinny, but "lean solid") is a BP influencer, but she was never husky, thick or heavy in any way. I don't get where her mental health issues over her body (that she claims are resolved after years of struggling) come from. She grew up in an era of "Beauty at all sizes" and film/TV stars and recording artists with thick bodies. She has a body that every single one of those plus size influeners would murder for. I believe she subconsciously shifted her mental health issues onto her body---maybe because that made it easier for her to cope? And YES...she has to DISTORT her body, slouch and sit funny and tinker with camera angles to show its "imperfections." That is SO true!!!! The root problem is NOT the media's glorification of thinness. In this day and age, it's OBESITY that's glorified; been so for years now. The root problem is FAMILY LIFE. Something went awry...
