The fat acceptance movement is stupid and regression

Post Reply New Topic

Except HAES tell people that weight does not affect your health and there is a conspiracy in the health industry by doctors against fat doctors. Look at My 600 Lb Life. How can anyone argue that is healthy and that weight can't affect you?

If you are happy being 160 lbs and your health is not as risk and you are healthy, then fine. I don't think anyone is gonna shame you for that. It's the lies we hate and misinformation about why people are overweight. That is not fat shaming there.

My mom says only reason why she is so overweight is because she likes to eat. She will work in the yard and then eat back her calories. She is honest about why she is so heavy and no one is going to shame her for that. Besides lot of people are overweight anyway and people have forgotten what normal thin is and think anyone who is actually at a healthy weight is an anorexic and too skinny now.


We need to stop throwing the term fat shaming around when we talk about obesity and reasons why people are obese. No one is making fun of them about it. Are we thin shaming when we talk about anorexia? That is how stupid it is to accuse anyone of fat shaming when we talk about obesity.

My mother in law will also say she is obese because she is disabled and can't get enough exercise.

Marylin Monroe was never fat and the HAES will use her to keep being in denial about their weight. Plus clothing sizes have changed over the years. Marylin Monroe wore a size 8 in todays clothing industry. A size 14 from the 1980's is now like a size 6 now for ladies. I have even noticed they have changed the girls sizes too because I can now fit into them now depending on the style. A girl's size 16 fits like hip size 36 inches now. This was not a size 16 back in the late 1990s.

Does the acceptance movement actually help any overweight people? I mean do they get more roles now that would typically go to thinner people, such as movies or modeling, or do they have options wanting to date them because of the movement now?

Do they have either, or does it just simply give them a space where they don't receive judgment?

Oh I am not sure, that's what I was wondering.

I think the fat acceptance people might be misinterpreting their theories as "well intended" but at the end of the day the overweight folk need to take responsibility for their own health no differently to drug addicts or smokers. It's not something that people can be "woke" about.



I think personal responsibility is your mother's business and nobody elses. My father is the opposite, he refuses to eat anything, his entire diet for an entire day will a coffee, boiled egg and toast followed by fish fingers and veggies at night time.

It’s not good to be fat.

But it is also bad to insult fat people.

Summed up my thread in 2 sentences better than I did in 5 tedious and redundant paragraphs.

I need to work on my conciseness. Still a weakness of mine

Very much. Treating them as objects of shame or ridicule is cruel no matter what the circumstances, including even the specific types called out here as being unhealthy.



Have you seen my posts?

Well they sure judge people with anorexia and those who are recovering from binge eating and those who are losing weight rather it's intentional or an accident.

I wish the HAES saw it that way too but they see both as fat shaming instead of the second one only.

HAES don't represent all people who are overweight

HAES is totally a different group than fat people. Even fat people have ranted against it too and some have even left that movement and said how toxic and full of BS it is.

This thread is about HAES people than about people who are fat.

And that's my point, HAES aren't representative so why should anyone listen to them?

I think anyone should be able to any size and shape they want, after all it's their body, but just dont ask me to celebrate someone's overweight size as them feeling 'empowered' or 'not being defeated by fat shamers' when they decide to flaunt their fatness as something they are actually proud of
