    I can’t begin to tell you the number of times that I’ve forged what seemed like a really close friendship with someone and then found out that s/he was wearing a fat suit the whole time. It’s not really surprising anymore, but I’d be lying if I said that it’s not disappointing.

      No, that amount could definitely be the difference between going to college or not. I don't know where people get this idea that college is a six figure expense. 10k would cover a good chunk of her living expenses, and she'll probably have tuition free unless she's going to some private university. Along with a part-time job and grants, maybe a small loan, it's totally reasonable.

      fat people are by all metrics a marginalized group. They have poorer healthcare, stigma, judgement and abuse from strangers, are endlessly mocked and face challenges in employment. Yet because we believe that fatness is a self inflicted "illness" that can be overcome by force of will all that is considered acceptable, and even permissible under the delusion it's "for their own good" its absolutely gross.

    I grew up with a mom that continually cried in her closet for hours before we left the house. Because nothing fit right. She would diet fad diet then binge and cry for days. I told her when i was little if she lost weight she wouldn’t be as cuddly and it would upset me (i got my genes from my dad) bean pole, bambi leggs and not the good kind. So when my friends used to say they didn’t know why I was so kind or thought they were beautiful, they also said I just didn’t get it. Then out of their insecurities when we would have friend scabbles they would say im skinny and ugly like a witch and would say “aren’t u just gonna call me fat, u know i am” They never knew how honestly truamatic it was as a kid to see your mom so devastated about her own body, I hated how much my mom couldn’t see how beautiful she was and she would just pick on herself. Im glad society is a little better with some stuff but i feel fat phobic comments are still not shunned no one cares.

When I told her I was going on my first date and the first thing she said was “has he seen a picture of you? I don’t want you to be upset when he sees you and changes his mind”

I think she tries to be better with that now, by making efforts that I can see, but she does slip up and it's very triggering.. especially when it's about my body :/ I hope you are doing so much better because your mother's comments and statements will never be true to who you are.

The point is you shouldn’t need some sympathetic, medical explanation for your existence.

    I watched the original documentary and oof - tons of early 2000's fatphobia there. Fatness is treated as a mental illness and medical issue even though folks are outwardly sympathetic to the cruelty the kids are experiencing. It's this bizarre world of "you shouldn't be treated like this- so let's fix you so that stops happening :) " rather than full stop saying "you shouldn't be treated like this".

    • @TigersandBearsOhMy
      @TigersandBearsOhMy Před 9 měsíci

      Eh. As a current fat person, I can tell you that mental illness is a pretty accurate description. Maybe it's not that direct, but it's definitely part of it. Being fat is not healthy, physically or mentally, and it should be treated as something that needs to be fixed. Not in a cruel way, mind you, but it's not something to be embraced.

High school was so hard. Some boys would chant "boom bomba boom bomba ' as I walked by. They also made back up beeps when I walked around. It was torture every day. Puberty and undiagnosed PCOS caused as me to gain weight as well being sick all the time because of Celiac, also undiagnosed. I'm in my 40s now and still fat but far more comfortable in my own skin.

He told me I looked good to make me feel good but he always thought I looked good. Fast forward to being an adult: I asked my son's father what would he do if I got really fat. He said: You'll always be pretty and I love you because your personality, in fact, you could be a bit thicker. Bruh, what? Goes to show. They will always love you if that's how they feel.

      I'm not here to defend your daughter or make assumptions. But maybe my story could give a perspective. I used to resent my mother (still do but I hide it better) because I watched her physical and mental health deteriorate over the years due to her lifestyle choices. It ultimately stemmed from fear of her suffering or even me losing her. In the beginning I was still supportive and cheerful whenever she began a new therapy/diet/exercise routine/attempt to become sober. But as she always fell back into old habits, I became harsh, cynical and patronizing. I realised in the end that my behaviour doesn't make anything better and I am on a journey to accept her as she is and make peace. Maybe your daughter's past behaviour was also rooted in concern rather than the hatred it expressed itself as.

    I’ve been fat-shamed by my family since I was 160 pounds. After college, I gained more weight due to hormonal changes from meds and my family still fat-shamed me even more. Now, after taking meds to help my body balance insulin better, I have lost 9 pounds and all I hear is keep going.
    That’s why I’m so grateful for my friends and my fiancé. They love me for who I am. My future hubby thinks I’m beautiful with a big belly. I’ve never been used to being loved as I am, but I’m grateful for it now. God has been good.

      Well I can't speak to this particular iteration of it since it sounds like it missed the point entirely, but the original "Black Like Me" story WAS rooted in empathy. It wasn't that he couldn't see black people were treated badly, it was that he wanted to be able to tell a first hand account of what it's like to demonstrate to the people who clearly WEREN'T behaving empathetically. The point of the genre is empathy communicated to the non-empathetic, but attempting to tell a first-hand account because it demonstrates just how jarring a separation it is. That and gonzo journalism is always a very intriguing and compelling format. As far as I could tell from this review, Ali was NOT empathetic, thought she could prove the life experience was NOT different, and didn't communicate anything with anyone else about the lived experience of a fat person because she only witnessed name calling and another fat person with a candy stash.

      @Sweaty Sweater There actually aren't that many reasons, in the vast majority of cases it's because people are taking in more calories than they are expending. Yes people with PCOS tend to get very bloated due to their condition but it doesn't automatically make them fat, having PCOS is a poor excuse to be fat. This is the problem with talking about this issue, bringing up simple facts immediately gets you labeled as as "fatshamer". Everyone deserves respect and love but that doesn't mean that everyone is healthy. Both can be true at the same time. I personally have some weight to lose and am still working on it, and while I could sit here and make plenty of (what others would consider) "legitimate" excuses, I'm not going to do that because I realize this is something I can change and that I can make better and healthier choices. So long story short, if your doctor advises you to lose weight then it's for a reason. *FYI perhaps complaining was the wrong word but she did make it seem like it was this horrible thing

      @@wittysass3812 wow, it's almost like you have no idea what you're talking about. You clearly do t realise that many health issues said to be caused by being fat are actually what causes some overweight people to be overweight in the first place. Most people with PCOS are overweight because it causes issues with blood sugar, among other issues like the, I dunno, HUGE hormonal imbalance that means losing weight becomes next to impossible, no matter how many calories you eat. And no, just caloric intake isn't the issue. I gained 20lbs several years ago while weighing every bite I ate and keeping under 1200 calories and, for a month, under 800. That is when I gained the weight. Tell me how that's possible because according to know it all, I'm lying about that, but I lived it. 20lbs in 4 weeks on 800 calories and while doing HIIT 4-5 days a week and walking 10k steps a day. Some of that was water weight (enough that my legs had pitting oedema) and the rest was fat. My clothes no longer fit. I had to go up a size. I was eating clean and healthy food and not very much of it and gained weight. I finally lost it after a few years of a ketogenic diet. Guess how much I was testing then? 2500 calories almost every day....and I lost 50lbs and kept it off for a few years (until injury at the start of covid lock down and having to depend on carby eating again, because that's what was available, along with depression, and then I put it back on). So no, weight loss isn't always so cut and dry as "don't eat as much" for everyone...but bug mouth people like you don't understand that and keep fat shaming people, because yes, that's exactly what you're doing. Stop it.

      @@wittysass3812 also, no, it isn't always the Dr's job to mention weight because many times it is irrelevant and many other times, that's all they see and attribute whatever issue the person is having to them being overweight. I went to a dermatologist for psoriasis I have developed, most likely triggered by extreme stress and a decade of ear infections (ear infections can actually trigger psoriasis). It took me over a year to get a derm appointment because of covid and put on weight in the mean time, due to the depression and injury I mentioned above....so weight was not my issue when the psoriasis occurred. When I finally got to see the derm, she said it was probably caused, or made worse, by my weight.....even though it literally had nothing to do with my weight. Likewise when a woman goes to see a Dr about something unrelated, like migraines or period pain or a broken hand, they will undoubtedly mention the person's weight. That is actually NOT their job. If you go to see someone about your weight, then they can mention it. If they have a condition that is actually made worse by weight, like diabetes or heart disease, then they can mention weight and, more importantly, how to help them become healthier and lower their risk of complications from those diseases.....but that's not where mention of weight is limited. It comes up at every appointment...and it shouldn't. We know we are fat. We don't need someone telling us we are fat, even if it is our doctor. Stfu

At age 8 I started getting a little belly and a friend who had a crush on me told me I should stop eating so much because I'd be ugly, I didn't realize it but all this led me to start sucking in my stomach and led to an eating disorder. I starved myself. Then I would binge eat. Then I'd be too thin and then I'd eat more and basically repeat the cycle.
    It took years, YEARS, TO BE HAPPY WITH MYSELF. And still to this day I find myself sometimes looking in the mirror and shaming myself. I'm a work in progress. I think these thing stay with you, or at least with me but I tell myself "You look good. You're you." I give myself compliments and a little self love. But things like this stay with you.

    Had a doctor that hated fat people. Ended up changing doctors when he literally almost let me die cause he kept telling me my issues were because I was fat even though I told him the fat was from the actual issues and now my doctor is awesome. Love her and literally hope the doctor who almost let me die gets everything he deserves.

      Me too!! No matter how sarcastic I answered her!
      She said, have you tried dieting?
      Um I'm a 40something chubster who grew up in America, have I ever tried a diet?
      So I answered her " No, do they work?"
      Her "yes, like using mustard instead of mayonnaise on your sandwich"
      Me "Ooooh we better let all the overweight people know! The answer is this new idea called dieting"
      Another time
      Me "my back hurt"
      Her " it's because you're so obese, if you lose weight it won't be as hard on your back"
      Me "gosh I forgot that thin people never get back aches"
      And finally
      Me. "My stomach pain is intense and I'm vomiting"
      She prescribes me an antacid
      Me again " it hurts so bad I can't even eat I've lost 30lbs in the last month without trying"
      Her "It's great you lost weight, I saw on your chart today, very good"
      Me "I'm not trying to lose weight, it's because something's wrong with my stomach or something"
      Her " well if you keep it up you'll feel a lot better I'm sure. You're doing great"

      I'm naturally bigger. Especially in elementary and middle school. I was so much taller than everyone else and a little chubby. It's just a genetic thing. And if sucked because it was a genetic thing there wasn't much I could do about it.
      The most embarrassing thing was my frenemy went to ask out the "ugly guy" without my consent because she thought because we where both the "ugly people" in school we should "date". She did it when I was there and he straight up said I was disgusting and he'd never date me and some other things. I went and cried in the school bathroom.

    The premise is weird to me because why does it take a skinny person to be made to feel bad to get people to be like “oh yeah, people DO really treat “fat” people like shit.” Um…yeah. Duh. Kinda like Tyra Banks pretending to be homeless (omg and she did a fat suit!!) just to come tell us “guys, yeah, it’s true, being homeless DOES suck and people treat you bad.” YEAH. DUH. Do we really need a skinny person or a rich person to validate the feelings of people who live this experience? I mean…apparently we do because people are still mean and shitty, but I just don’t get it 🙄

    My ex was a very heavy girl at over 300lbs back when she was in her early 20s. She had a younger sis who was almost as heavy but more like 270ish. Her morbidly obese mother basically raised them on low fat this and that and constant focus on weight, weight loss, fad diets, etc etc. They would get into a LOT of arguments about it.
    So what did her mom get as a reward for raising her daughters to be uber paranoid about getting fat? Well, she got 2 grossly obese adult daughters.
    Some parents will simply never ever understand this dynamic. The more you badger a kid to be a certain way through paranoia, condescension and force, the more they'll become the total opposite.

      When I complained I didn’t get anything (I was tall and oddly shaped kind of chunky)
      It was hard to shop for me. She took it upon herself to go to Kmart and buy me some old lady clothes that were 3 sizes too big

    The “fat like me” thing is based on a social experiment “Black like me” by John h. Griffin

But I’m quite sure that girl was inspired by the Black like me experiment where a white man in the 1960s disguised himself as a Black man and documented his experience and the discrimination he faced as a “Black” man. It was a book and then later a movie.

    I see this differently. I feel bad really often for how poorly I acted as a teenager to my parents but when I was growing up my mother had an eating disorder. Just like addiction, the main causes of eating disorders are mental and there are multiple symptoms of them that affect your loved ones.
    My mom was frequently short tempered, depressed, too fatigued to pay attention or parent us, neglectful and especially was incredibly vocal about her hatred and dissatisfaction with her body.
    A body that I inherited almost exactly.
    Once I grew up a little I apologized for being a, more than usual, rude teenager and then had to go through moments where I had to face the resentment and abandonment I felt and forgive my mother despite knowing she didn’t mean to hurt us at all when she was sick.
    It’s a difficult nuanced process to understand and face your childhood fears and hurts and yet give your parents the grace you hope your children will give you one day.

    "Don we now our double chins" I AM DEAD 😂😂😂
    This whole movie is so toxic. I went between laughing and shaking my head in disbelief. As for the role reversal, I currently have a problematic roommate who screams at her mother over the phone about how her mother manages her eating habits. I heard her call her OWN MOTHER fat once. Smh
    I had convinced myself for years - since middle school - that I was fat. Why? Because I wasn't skin and bones like the early 2000s media said I needed to be. I look at pictures of me in high school and I'm like, "....I seriously thought I was fat back then????? I was a size eight!" And because I was so paranoid about my weight I assumed everyone else was silently judging me for it. I still struggle with it today because now I actually am a bit bigger than I used to.
    But the thing is...bodies change over time. And for crying out loud, eating a few slices of bacon and frying things in butter isnt gonna make you gain 15 pounds.

    I totally feel you on the bowling PTSD. The last time I remember going bowling a little kid (prolly 5-6) was running around with their like 5 (!) siblings in the next lane and kept stopping to point at me and loudly yell "That man is FAT!" The oldest daughter [the Dad ignored it (orthodox Jewish family scolding the kids is "women's work")] scolded him for being too loud, saying nothing about him mocking an adult, or just for yelling at strangers for that matter, for no damn reason.

    I had a skinny-to-fat journey in high school that would've made a better plot than this: I was skinny my whole life from playing sports. I had a scholarship for basketball but tore my ACL twice during my sophomore year. Without exercise to keep fit AND to distract me from the abuse I was facing at home, I blew up and gained over 50lbs within just a few months. Rumors circulated that I was pregnant. People literally stopped talking to me. I was bullied relentlessly the rest of high school, pushing me to temporarily drop out and finish at night school. I even heard "MOOOO" as I walked across the stage to get my diploma. It sucked. In short, people are assholes. Especially teenagers. It took me YEARS to unlearn my self-hate and rebuild my heart and mind, ultimately finding worth in myself that wasn't based on my looks. I still struggle to this day, but I'm content in my 30s and know I'm much more than my weight. To any young girls out there that are struggling, hang in there and don't give up! Don't let societal expectations determine your self-worth! Jesus loves you and you ARE beautiful. ❤️

      Omg that's so awful. I know it's not the same but in college, in an all female dorm they decided I was a "slut" because I went on I think... 3 dates in 2 months with different guys (no sex, just dates but apparently the dudes lied to their friends like dumb 18 yos do) and they would slip condoms and handwritten in multicolor gel pen "STD surveys" under my door and ask me questions about my vaginal health. It was pretty relentless until I finally quit staying at the dorm and opted to sleep on a friend's couch despite the fact that the dorm cost me $4k per semester.
      I've never been big, but I know what it's like to be bullied by everyone and nobody should have to feel ashamed for their appearance or something they cannot control. Hope you're well now.

      Wow…this just confirms how crappy humans can be/are to one another. I’ve had things similar not as brutal but similar to you happen to me all throughout school however I wasn’t even fat to begin with I just wasn’t a size 0 which is what everyone wanted to be at the time. Even the skinny girls were complaining about being too fat. It was a toxic time and no one helped the situation we all just fed into it instead. Glad things have changed.

    In response to the mother/daughter role reversal, I remember a Sweet Valley High book where Robin (her last name escapes me), who used to be overweight and decided to lose weight, became borderline anorexic. Her mom was making food, I think a cake, and Robin gets pretty nasty with her, saying she knows she used to be fat since her mom kept feeding her food like that. I remember being so sad at that since her mom got sad.

    I will never forget 6th grade getting up to throw something out and walking in front of a guy's desk as he yelled out, "thunder thighs!" And the thing is, I wasn't even big then. I have always had big hips, but I wasn't overweight at that time. It wasn't the first comment I got like that and there were a lot more to follow, but it was the first time I really let it get to me. Since then my weight has fluctuated by 100+ lbs and looking back it just makes me sad to think about how I thought of my body in those years. I think middle school is hard for most kids, but especially girls. I wouldn't love through those years again for any amount of money.

      I was skinny in high school and I got picked on. These girls who were on the heavier side, and who were supposed to be my friends, would get boys in our class to call me ugly stick, and pull my hair. They would say I must have aids or something to make me so skinny.
      The girls sat with me at lunch and would steal half my lunch because supposedly I didn't need food since I was little. I hated that.

It was muscle. I was so small as a kid and into my 20s. Now at 40 I am struggling to lose this baby weight and I am perimenopausal (sp) so I am just a mess. I am not super happy, but I am getting there. My daughter is 9 so we're about to hit those tough yrs. Her school is small, so hopefully it won't be so bad. I miss being young, but it's honestly easier to be an adult most days. Not all days of course. But I worry about so many other things I don't have time to worry about my weight as much.

    I absolutely knew a kid who would tell his mother to f off and call her the c word, and she would just do the head shake, hand wave, sigh, and walk away. I couldn't believe what I was watching, and I let into him and his little brother for talking to her like that. I may have made a comment like, "No wonder neither of you can get a girlfriend. If any woman saw you behave like this, their vag would instantly dry up and crawl somewhere up inside her chest cavity." Or something like that, I think.
