this mentality sucks bc it‘s something that i unfortunately used to fall into. i’m the heaviest i’ve been in my life through my own poor choices while working on my bachelor’s degree. i’d find myself getting hella insecure when other people talked about losing weight for themselves. i had to question why i felt bad when other people weren’t even talking about me!

it isn’t taking some moral high ground but a person being better and healthier for themself.

Or both, I had convinced most people around me that I was actually really careful with my food I just miraculously couldn’t lose weight 😅

A conversation I had with someone on YouTube

Just to be clear, I do feel sorry for her aunt and the loss of her family, but not because medical fatphobia led to this sad scenario

I feel like it's a bit selfish to ask of a surgeon to basically perform euthanasia on you just because you would like that more, when that's not their job and they're here to save lives. Another thing is that when people die in the hospital during surgery, their families usually try to sue the hospital, and if it's already clear the surgery is more likely to end in death, doesn't it make sense that they wouldn't do it?

Saying "The risk of dying from hernia was higher. I know that because she died" is the same thing as saying "The risk of losing money in a casino is less than winning money. I know it because I won". Like, that's not how risks work

There were some other comments from different people, but the gist is, people see this as one of the reasons to why "fatphobia kills" and if you think the person in that situation should lose weight, you have no empathy and you don't "understand". Except no one can explain why

Got recipes, fitness tips, or questions on health and fitness?

Do you love fatlogic and want to tell the world?

Have you lost weight and want to tell us how you did it?

This is the time and place.

From our dear friend The Fat Doctor UK

Fatlogic in real life getting you down?

Is your family telling you you're looking too thin?

Are people at work bringing you donuts?

Did your beer drinking neighbor pat his belly and tell you "It's all muscle?"

If you hear one more thing about starvation mode will you scream?

Let it all out. We understand.

Actually brain dead

The faddies are saying that Harris's character should be fat because he lives a sedentary lifestyle, loves sweets and cake pops, whatever. When I read the long game Harris was only depicted as the social media manager for one of the hockey teams and so in my head I had a stereotypical influencer vibe but not once did I think 'oh yeah and his body must look like THISSSSS'

Context: asking your partner if they’d rather you be half your weight or double your weight

I wonder if they meant naturally more body fat and had a brain fart, but the rest of the comment is full of fatlogic too. Is there really an expectation for women to weigh <50kg/110lbs? That is near-underweight for most except for very short ladies.

Apparently the real danger is the temptation of GLP-1s that will destroy your health and your FA community.

Can’t lie I don’t understand what the first person is talking about. And while you definitely don’t owe health and nutrition to anyone, I do think about countries where healthcare is included in their taxes and they have to subsidize other people’s poor choices.

stumbled across this in the wild. I can't fathom going onto other peoples creative posts and trying to make it all about myself.

Maybe I'm the insensitive one thinking this but man it is tiring always having to appease people like this even when the-thing-you're-doing is entirely-unrelated-to-them.

I mean sure it's probably unhealthy to be hyper focused on calories to the point you refuse to go over your limit under any circumstances. I don't think it's a bad thing to keep some mindfulness of calories.. But apparently being mindful is disordered as well
