You see some people have gut bacteria that can pull an extra 5% of calories out of food or something, so thus there must be no connection between diet and weight because frrrrrrrrrrrt

I had to look up what HAES was. gently caress people are dumb.

Sorry but you aren't healthy at all when you're loving 400 lbs.

Like if your primary form mobility is a walking at a turtle speed waddle or riding one of those fat scooters. No you're not loving healthy.

Weve lost the war on obesity. Fighting fat hasnt made the fat go away. And being thinner, even if we knew how to successfully accomplish it, will not necessarily make us healthier or happier. The war on obesity has taken its toll. Extensive collateral damage has resulted: Food and body preoccupation, self-hatred, eating disorders, discrimination, poor health, etc. Few of us are at peace with our bodies, whether because were fat or because we fear becoming fat.

Health at Every Size is the new peace movement.

It supports people of all sizes in addressing health directly by adopting healthy behaviors. It is an inclusive movement, recognizing that our social characteristics, such as our size, race, national origin, sexuality, gender, disability status, and other attributes, are assets, and acknowledges and challenges the structural and systemic forces that impinge on living well.

I walk past a school on my way to work and today I saw a morbidly obese woman with her incredibly fat child. Both were wheezing and seemed to have trouble walking the few yards from their car to the school. The school is for kids up to age 6 so :rip: fat kid I guess

Don't shame fat people. They're going to die soon anyways.

Shame smokers though, they're also going to die soon but gently caress 'em.

I seem to remember here in the UK some school tried to do the whole healthy thing, but outraged parents went to the school at lunch and shoved french fries through the gate for their kids to eat instead of the healthy options.

To be fair so does like 95% of Britain because serving school kids something other than deep fried gunk and terrible pizza made mostly with grease might cost taxpayers an extra penny or so each per day. And that's just nanny state socialist nonsense; it's my right to ensure my kids don't live to be 30 if I want!

Back on topic, fat shaming is good. I went from ~180lbs to ~150lbs in two months (1700 calories a day, half an hour of swimming and half an hour to an hour of weights every day) because of a fat shaming thread in GBS two years ago. I've put about 10lbs back on since then but now know that all I have to do is cut a couple of hundred calories out and do a little extra exercise and it'll come right back off again. Losing weight is really loving easy unless you are actually disabled.

But smokers pay a gently caress load of extra tax, will die soon, and never bleat about how they can't help it because it's their genes or some poo poo. They know it's bad for them and don't care, whatever, that's a million times less obnoxious than pretending you're healthy despite the fact you haven't seen your genitals in years.

Yeah but there's no such thing as second-hand pizza or whatever, fat guy is just loving himself over unlike smokers.

There's a direct correlation between obesity in women and income level. If being fat was such a moral failing you wouldn't see trends based on race, gender, and income level.

I'm kind of curious how fat people are treated in countries where its much less common to be fat. Like is a 300 lb Japanese woman going to be a total pariah?

:same:

A little fat shaming is good because it motivates some people to fight their fattening. One of the last GBS fat threads was pretty motivational for me as well.
I guess like anything it can go overboard but gently caress all it takes is some goddamned self control, exercise, and diet.
