      @@tabbyreed8925 That's an assumption, a really unfair one. Just because others find you "drop dead gorgeous" doesn't mean you do. A lot of the people in this movement are very attractive and if not for their terrible personalities, many would be able to recognize it. That doesn't change how they see themselves or the grueling work they may have to go through to accept themselves and love themselves.
      Thinner people having similar struggles don't get disqualified from being body positive WITH the community just because a faction of that community is jealous of them or feels insecure because of their existence and proximity. That's not right.

    I use to struggle a lot with being gay as a kid which (long story short) lead to many self harm scars, particularly on my thighs. During my early twenties I tried to join a body positivity movement to help me overcome my fear of shorts/showing off my scars. I took one photo of my thighs and was asked to remove the photo because I was "showing off" how thin my thighs were and making people feel uncomfortable. Almost 30 now and the embarrassment of having the balls to take a photo of my scars just to be shut down in the body positive movement will still pop into my head in the middle of the night.

      Yeah, one side of my family is obese and they were all active and living normal lives in their 20s and even 30s. Once their 40s hit, every single one developed some type of chronic illness as well as mobility problems. Then it becomes a downward spiral where it's hard to lose weight even if you wanted to because you're too immobile to exercise or even shop for healthy foods on your own, it becomes a lot more appealing to rely on takeout. Also, most of them died in their 60's while the thin side of my family died in their 80's or 90's. It's really sad. Wanting the people you love to avoid this fate is the opposite of hateful.

      The movement was NOT about weight at all unless someone has a special medical condition which deforms the body.

After I moved over I started to think about what I was eating and limited calories and empty carbs to a healthy amount. Do you know what happened? I lost weight. I started exercising regularly, and I lost more. I've maintained a healthy 125 for the past five years and haven't gained the weight back at all.

    Fun fact for anyone saying it's "fatphobic" not to date obese people like the woman in this video: during my first rounds of clinicals, nurses were advised to use peppermint on the inside of our masks while dealing with the hygiene of obese patients due to most having fungal and bacterial overgrowth within fat folds.
    Want to know how it smells? A mix of feet and unwashed genitals. Like overwhelming smegma that made the whole room stink. Don't feel bad for not wanting that anywhere near you. The closest thing I can compare it to is the odor of absesses with that "bread like" consistancy when they're opened. But it's ALL THE TIME and in every fold EVERY SINGLE day.

That means that taking notes on one of those awful right-handed desks is very challenging for me. I guess, by Leah’s logic, that universities just don’t want left-handed people to learn or to be included in the wider society.

She learned to feel beautiful in her skin again even though it was scarred. THAT'S what the term used to be.

    Just wanna put this out there:
    When I was fat, nobody said a word about my body. But when I lost weight and got to the middle of the BMI scale for my height, almost all the fat women in the world seemed to decide it was open season on my body, my new eating habits, and my joy at really living life for the first time. I was criticized and given sniping comments constantly. And I swear I wasn't mean or ostentatious about anything. Like a group I was in was at a restaurant once, and one of the fat women in it gave me a side glare after I ordered my food. She sneered that *she* was going to have a club sandwich and fries... because she just couldn't LIVE without carbs, DON'T ya know. (I lost weight initially through Atkins, about 75 pounds, and I've kept it off for over 20 years now, and back then low-carb restaurant orders looked very out-of-the-ordinary. It was painfully obvious when someone in a restaurant was doing low-carb.) It was like that constantly.
    Eventually, I figured out why all these fat women suddenly decided I was their worst enemy. But at the time, it really hurt my feelings. Without me saying a word or doing anything to these women I'd once called friends, just literally changing my diet and losing a shitload of weight without them involved at all, they acted like I'd attacked every self-belief that they held dear. In a lot of ways, I guess I had.

    I fucking HATE how this community reacted to that song. It was a thin (BLACK, which I emphasize because these people make such a point of equating fatphobia to racism, AND YET) woman who was literally just trying to be an ally out of the goodness of her heart, and they viciously attacked her for it because her wording wasn't to their liking (despite it OBVIOUSLY being well-intentioned and not meant to make fatness out to be a bad thing at all). Then she went back and APOLOGIZED and made new lyrics. I don't know what happened from there, but I feel really bad for the singer. That's what you get for trying to be a 'fat ally', I guess.
    Plus, the 'worse' here was OBVIOUSLY intended to be a sarcastic dig on how society treats fat people badly- but like you said, absolutely NO comprehension of nuance here.

    As a neurobiologist in the making I want to give people who need certain medications a few suggestions:
    1. Most of medications for mental issues cause metabolism changes, most times they slow the metabolism. So you NEED a true doctor specialized in dieting and an endocrinologist;
    2. You don’t necessarily need going to the gym to build a healthy lifestyle. You can find your own way to balance movement and your mental space (I hate gyms as well, I prefer working out alone);
    3. Food regulations need to be stricter and updated;
    4. If you’ve developed any ED or addiction to food bc of your parents’ issues or ignorance, you’re not lost and condemned to develop health issues: you can ask your physicians to be educated and guided.
    Don’t lose hope for your future. None deserves to be bullied but you don’t own ANYONE your body and your way to take care of yourself. If you feel you have to change your lifestyle to get better, it’s your choice: don’t let some online movements brainwash you. Surround yourself with people you can relate to! We can change the food industry if we collaborate

    A big problem I have with most fat activists like this, the ones that are PAINFULLY transparent in their jealousy of thin people and their insecurities surrounding their bodies, is that they aren’t self aware. I was fat my entire life up until a few months ago. When I really started noticing my jealousy of thin people, I thought “hey, since I’ve been fat most of my life I was bullied a lot and my weight was a topic of conversation in my family. This has caused me to develop body image issues and jealously towards thin people who I believe have it easier then me. This is bad so I’m going to go talk to a therapist/professional to work through these issues instead of thinking all skinny people are out to get me.” These people who get sucked into the fat acceptance space, who start feeling these things instead think “all thin people are fatphobic and cannot understand the ~systemic fatphobia~ that exists. I’m discriminated against constantly by the THINS!”

      I was a chubby preteen and teen with man boobs until I had my growth spurt in high school. Even then I was wearing pants that were my dad's size. Some years after I graduated from college, he mentioned that the first summer I came home from school, it was a big change and that I was really fit. I told him that I had no idea, asked why he didn't say something because I still thought I was fat. He being thin all his life and having to work hard to gain weight was shocked and thought I already knew.
      It really pisses me off when the fat activists discount the work of formerly fat folks because it shines a light back on them that their situation isn't hopeless if they put in the work. It's been 6 years and counting since I was at my heaviest at almost 30% bodyfat. It wasn't fatphobia or medical bias that was making me feel lightheaded if I stood up too fast and feel way older than my biological age. It was my leaning into eating crappy food(part convenience, part coping) and not exercising. My doctor told me straight up, these stats are not good and given your family history, GET IT TOGETHER.

    As someone with cancer, I did have an awkward interaction with someone who told me I didn’t belong in the body positivity movement because I was too thin for it, and consequently ignored my chronic illness. I was there in the space because I’ve been trying to learn more about how to love my new body, the limitations I now have, my scars, my daily medications, and the way I’ve been changing as a result of treatments. It’s hurtful to be left out, because of something like just „being thin“…it completely eradicated the other aspects of existing in my body that I face on a daily basis. Bodies are more than either „thin“ or „fat“. There’s lots of ways a body can be, and I thought that was the point of the BPM…embracing all the experiences we have in our unique bodies.

      These people need to be shamed for their behaviour for what they’re doing to the BP movement. The body positivity movement was originally created for people like you (though it can help anyone as the movement teaches a holistic approach that’s beneficial to everyone). It’s about accepting your current body, stop feeling shame in what you can’t do or how you look, learn to adapt to your limitations so that you can do healthy living that’s sustainable with your life, recognize any negative behaviour or thinking you engage in, seek therapy, and find healthy coping mechanisms.
      The fat acceptance movement spits in the face of all this. They aren’t seeking therapy to address their eating disorders, they aren’t seeking treatment to find ways to cope with food addiction or whatever reason is causing them to overeat (depression? Anxiety? Childhood trauma?). They aren’t seeking exercise regimes tailored for obese individuals who’ve been sedentary for a long time and need special exercises that go easy on the knees and ankles. Work with your limitations and all that.

Anyways. Seroquel made me hungrier at night, but I still had excess calories due to it. Not the med’s fault. Still mine. I still have some night eating episodes, but it’s usually if I haven’t had much to eat the rest of the day (I rarely get hunger cues and will literally forget to eat until I’m shaking or getting a headache because it’s been so long). So I’m working to balance things out because the night eating isn’t very good.

One went off medication, lost about 40 lbs, lost another 60 lbs by just deciding to become a little bit healthier. One lost about 80 lbs by restricting sodium. One lost plenty of weight in high school and didn't even know why, and he's at the same weight 60 years later.

I admitted as much to my doctor and he looked genuinely relieved that i wasnt going to argue or dismiss him on the fact that i can trace a whole hell of a lot of my health problems back to my obesity.

    I've seen so many FA's, even in wheelchairs, praising their fatness. It's ok to be ok with it. But they also once stated that once you're in a wheelchair, you'll be fat no matter what and you should just accept that.
    I got wheelchair bound 3 years ago and was in the state of mind where I thought ''its impossible to lose weight because everyone says so''.
    Untill I realised this was a big ass lie, started working out however possible, and guess what? Bisj, I lost weight. I might not be able to use my legs normally, but I CAN EXCERCISE!
    Then they called me fatphobic and accused me of having an ED because there wouldn't be any other way to lose weight besides having an ED while in a wheelchair.
    They have never heard of exercise with different body parts? Can't use your legs? try to lift weights and gradually climb up from 2 kg to heavier weights.
    Try to spin with your hands on those handbikes instead of a 'normal' spinningbike in the gym.
    Try to work with your chest muscles, and abs if possible.
    All, literally ALL FA's swear to God that exercise and calorie counting is impossible. Now, apparently, I'm not ''legitimately disabled'' because I refuse to let the muscles that I still can use to waist away. lost 28 kg's and never watched any other fat positivity content ever again. The toxicity is unreal.
    Edit: I must say that I still have the privilege of being able to use other body parts besides my legs, not everyone in a wheelchair has this privilege. I'm well aware of that!

    • @mick-my-binary
      @mick-my-binary Před 2 lety +17

      ​@UCGnlKHml9JtOVzXcM9mvUiA Completely agreed!
      The small difference was that I got into a wheelchair by nerve/muscle damage due to unregulated T1 diabetes, and got fat after that since I got stuck in emotional eating behaviour.
      Those who are obese to the point of needing a wheelchair because of it, need to make huge changes and indeed listen to their doctors and dieticians instead of screaming ''phatphobia!!!" at them.

      You are smart for working out the parts of your body that you can; not only are you now healthier and more fit and strong, you still have that relationship with your body that a lot of other people in wheelchairs unfortunately lose - that knowledge that your body is still your instrument, still yours to use to benefit yourself. That can bring you happiness and satisfaction. Good on you.

    Interestingly I had the exact same realization as this woman. In the beginning of 1999, I had been through years and years of yo-yo dieting and weight fluctuations. I had an epiphany one evening that I had a choice I needed to make once and for all: I could just accept my body as it was (not morbidly obese … my BMI just veered from the overweight to obese category), give up dieting, and learn to be happy looking like I did. Or I could start eating (and later exercising) in a way that I could sustain for a lifetime. No “dieting”, no “bad foods”, no “cheat days” … just eating the way I knew my normal-weight friends did. I chose the latter. I lost 60 pounds and never regained them. Sure, I’ve fluctuated a bit, just as many normal-weight people do, but I no longer binge eat, eat excessive amounts of food, or eat fast food or highly processed food except on rare occasions. 20 plus years later, I am sooo happy with my life. I love my size 2 clothes. I love not worrying about chub rub in my thighs. I love not worrying about being seen in a bathing suit. I love hiking, and climbing stairs, and exerting myself. I like food and I look forward to eating, but it no longer rules my life. I am proudly fatphobic … for myself - I never ever want to regain that weight. It made me miserable.

She hates this new diet with a fiery flaming passion. When she rejected like the 4th or 5th healthy meat-and-veggies meal that I cooked, I almost started crying. Not because she didn't like the food or wouldn't taste it, but because I don't want her to have the issues I have as a very obese woman myself.
