you straight up can't ride roller coasters if you're too fat.
you can't be an Air Force pilot if youre 300 pounds
you can't be a contortionist if you can't fit in a small box. there's a reason the little dude was in the box in oceans 11 and not Carl Reiner.
as a fat man, have to echo that it’s quite a limiting thing. Which is why I hold my initial belief, that obesity should never be glorified or celebrated, so strongly.
But also, to anyone on here commenting who’s never been fat, do try to have some empathy. Being obese is even more mentally exhausting than physically exhausting. You just walk around all day feeling like a second class citizen, you get less respect in professional situations even if you’re hella credentialed, and don’t even get me starting on how impossible it makes dating. You wake up every morning convinced you’ll make progress towards weight loss that day, then after the stress of the day (which is amplified by the obesity) you end up binge eating at 9 pm and undoing all the work you did. It’s an incredibly difficult to break cycle. I did break it once and lose 100 lbs, and it improved my life drastically. But as often happens with obesity, it came back because I lost it in an unsustainable way. It’s not just difficult to break the cycle, the cycle will come back if you let it.
This is why I’m anti body positivity. Because society should be working to curb this epidemic, not normalize it.
TL/DR: obesity is mentally & physically exhausting, don’t celebrate or normalize it.
and the hard truth is, you are much more likely to spend your life obese than to lose the amount of weight you would need to to be not considered that. why continue to hate yourself? sad.
Don't make me go in.. on both EAP and Dad Dog. because I know you both, and y'all are shooting arrows at the wrong situation. I have to agree with fucking tЯist♡n. Y'all need to slow down.
This was your definition: your body is positive, bc it is literally the thing making you alive
Its a meaningless argument at this point but this is the statement I did not understand
honestly didn't realize that the bar for body positivity was as low as " acceptance"
annnnnnd here it is folks!
don't accept your body unless it is a very specific way (completely dictated by capitalism). if you don't look that very specific way, it is your own fault and you can just fuck right off and never have anything nice!

I actually think you’re losing your mind
shouldn't you be licking rummy and todd's booty holes right about now instead of bothering me

I don’t hate myself, I hate the way the obesity limits me. Think I’m a pretty solid person who has a fun life, just would fill in some gaps in the experience if I lost it. And I’ve lost 100 lbs before, so why not again? Better to have an internal locus of control about it than just blame probability.

and how hard was it for you to lose that weight? how much of your life centered around limiting where you ate, when you worked out etc.?? all that for you just to gain it back and which we both know, is probably what will happen the next time. plus weight is even harder to keep off the older you get.
once again. the reality is most obese people are going to stay that way without surgery, pills or turning into a fitness trainer as a full time job.
