Community Fat Acceptance Movement / Fat Girlcows -

[AtroposHeart]

This is not a thread to bash or make fun of fat people. I am a fat person too, but this is to talk about the horror/denial that is fat acceptance. Simply, denying the real links between obesity and health problems and promoting it as a choice. I also notice that most fat acceptance people tend to be at the heavier end of the scale than the average fat person.

Here is the ED article about it.

There're things like working towards racial and religious acceptance. And then there's this.

If someone wears something that doesn't suit them in public, then yes, they're opening themselves up to jeers and public scrutiny. Is it right? No. But that's the way society is. That's when it's up to the person himself to say: "Alright, well, I know people will probably laugh at me for wearing this or give me looks, but I wanna wear this. So I will. It's what I wanna do so I'll just do it."

Of course it's not easy, but what's worth having in life if one doesn't work at it?

I live in a town where I'm surrounded by morbidly obese women who are dressed in nothing but spaghetti straps and short, ripped skank jean shorts. I have nothing against fat people, and it's okay if you REALLY want to wear that shit, but how would you like it if I wore a muscle shirt and showed all of my stretchmarks from when I was fat? It's not attractive when I do it, and it's not attractive when you do it.

Admit it. You're fat. You're unhealthy. It's probably your fault that you're massive. And also, my mother is disabled, so when ever I see some fatass who can walk perfectly fine and doesn't even have a handicapped parking pass, and yet he/she parks at the handicapped spot and takes one of the scooters, don't be shocked and appalled when I tell you off for it.

As a fellow fat person, this seems pointless. Why should we have to force acceptance of our lives unto others.

Just stop, now please.

They can wear whatever they want. It's the part where they start trying to rewrite medical science that annoys me.

I've seen some 'fat acceptance movement' related things before. The thing that strikes out to me the most is when they spite skinny people, usually girls, for being skinny. That always seemed very hypocritical to me.

 

[Pikonic]

I don't think this is the "movement" fat people should prioritize.

Ok, I'm a lil chunky, but I don't feel my life is harder because of it. People will like and accept you if your nice. If you scream "I NEED ACCEPTANCE BAWWW", you're probably an asshole.
Be nice or lose weight, the choice is yours.

This was my reaction.

Re: Fat acceptanct movemnt.

These people, and the SJW's don't want to be treated equally, and don't care about equality, they want to have a cause and do battle against the "mainstream". That is what makes them feel special, its weird, they seem to enjoy being "rebels", but both groups obviously want superior treatment over the "Normies".

Re: Fat acceptanct movemnt.

That picture made me want to gouge my eyes out. It's one thing to be plump or built to be stocky, but when you get so overweight that you're waddling or that you have that huge pouch of fat like the lady in the picture does, that should tell you that you're not taking care of your body.

To me, the Fat Acceptance movement is just as ridiculous as something like say... Alcoholism Acceptance Movement. Overconsumption of food or alcohol can end up destroying your body/life. When I see obese people rallying for Fat Acceptance, it just flabbergasts me that they would rather deal with all the health problems of being obese than to just moderate their diet and get off the sofa once in a while.

 

[Surtur]

I've recently cut soda out of my diet, been dropping pounds like crazy.

Oh, and it turns out the lady's pics are now on 4chan in the fitness section.

We need the ability to do multiple mm yeah. This is perfect.
Next up it'll be "equality for thick rimmed glasses wearing scarf wearers!!!!"

She looks like she stapled a beanbag to her stomach.

This, this, a thousand times this. I'm a fatty mcfat fat. That's why I wear black without horizontal stripes. That's dressing as a fatty 101. If you choose to eat shitty food what happens happens.

This isn't discrimination against fat people. This is called accepting consequences like an adult.

 

[The Dude]

Fellow fatty fatty fat fat here. The only "fat movement" I want is the one I have in the morning.

To quote Clint Eastwood: A man's got to know his limitations.

People like the girl in OP's pic are exceeding their limitations, as well as exceeding the load bearing limitations of that bikini.

 

[Pine Tar]

Fellow fat bastard (seems common in his thread) here. Honestly, why anybody would be proud to be a Snorlax is beyond me. Seems like all you could do is block roads with your body lying down.

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

Re: Fat acceptance movement.

I'm a fatty fat boy as well (why do you think I chose the name GrandNumberOfPounds?).

I used to weigh 190 lbs. but due to some medicine I took I gained over 130 lbs. I'm trying to lose the weight right now. I've cut out fast food and I'm trying to drink more water and less pop, and I feel so much better since I started doing that. I have a gym membership, but due to an injury last week I haven't used it since last Monday. I definitely plan on going back, but right now I've been going in the park to walk because it's nice out. It will most likely take me a few years to lose all the weight, but I'm OK with it.

A few observations:

Fat people may not eat too much and be too lazy to exercise, they could have had some medical issue and gained a ton of weight because of it, so don't judge all fat people as lazy gluttons.

You're not a bad person because you have a weakness, and being fat is a weakness. But for heaven's sake, DO SOMETHING about it.

One crappy thing about being fat, for me at least, is that I can't do certain things. I couldn't work a manual labor job for more than two hours before my back started to hurt and I can't run more than a quarter mile without my shins hurting. I tried to do an aerobics class at the gym but I didn't even make it 10 minutes. This sucks so much that this alone makes me want to lose weight.

If you read the ED article on this BS, be sure to check out the "You're fat because you're stupid" article for a good counterpoint.

tl;dr - being fat is a weakness that a person should strive to overcome, not a disability that should be "accepted" by society at large (no pun intended); it sucks to be fat, but like a T-shirt said "I'm fat, you're ugly, at least I can do something about it"
