Welcome to my page where I shame everyone with my concerns. ^_^

Nueroatypical, I like to talk about fatlogic and weight loss and of course shame everyone so the FAs won't feel left out.

Can Fat acceptance activists answer…

Why America’s obesity is higher than other countries. Do the majority of people in America have messed up genetics or something?

Myth: concern trolling

There are two people who will comment on your weight:

Bullies.

Those who are concerned about your weight.

Bullies are complete assholes. They’ll say shit about your weight, and act like they are very bigoted. They might even say “but being overweight is unhealthy!” to act like they weren’t doing much. Well clearly if they call you names and then go “just cos you’re unhealthy.” You know they’re pigs.

The others: the people who are polite and comment on your weight. They don’t call you names, they just give you advice. They are actually worried.

So there are people who are worried. Just because there are bullies who, after being an asshole, say “health though!” doesn’t mean that the others aren’t concerned and are just there to irritate you.

Fat activism myths

How do I lose weight when I cannot afford any of those superfoods?

Why do you need that to lose weight? Frozen vegetables, oats, rice, eggs, beans, lentils are perfect. What’s your problem? You don’t need a perpetually fancy diet to lose weight.

I’ll gain it all back again!

Just an excuse that people use so no one tries. And even if people do, it’s not because CICO doesn’t work, its because they resume terrible eating habits.

I’ll have to eat like 800 calories a day, I’ll starve!

No, you can eat 2000 if it’s below your daily energy expenditure. You will still lose weight.

I won’t be able to eat anything I want.

Yeah, you will, but not a hugely unhealthy amount. A small nice sweet snack everyday and McDonald’s once a week. Thin people eat that, don’t worry. Also cook nice stuff. You will lose weight eating two chocolate bars a day if the total is below your daily energy expenditure.

I stopped losing weight, this isn’t working!

Only because you weigh less, so your energy expenditure’s gone down as well. You can shave off another 200 or more calories and lose more weight. If you lose weight at 2000 calories, then if you go down by 200, this is actually what many people eat everyday, not as a diet, so it won’t be that hard.

Food is not here to entertain me. I have books, friends, nature, adventures and my own life to entertain me. 

Food is not here to sooth me when I am sad. I have journals, friends, pets, prayer, hot tea, music and showers for that. 

Food is not here to pick me up after a hard day. I have tomorrow, and the promise of a new day is enough for me. 

Food is not here to celebrate my great days. I will share my joy with others. I will celebrate and appreciate what I have. 

Food is not here to fill me to the brim. I do not need to feel full to be nourished. Food is here to satiate me. 

Food is nourishment. It’s job is to give me energy to get through the day. It’s job is to give me nutrients, help me get stronger, and fuel my brain. It is not a replacement for real life. It is not about pleasing my brain, it is about pleasing my body. True change starts at the very foundation. Change your relationship.

No, poor people don't eat the most fast food

Research finds that poor people were actually less likely to eat fast food -- and do so less frequently -- than those in the middle class and only a little more likely than the rich.

Eating fast food is not cheaper and having limited income, I have seen how pricey fast food is compared to buying food from the grocery store and making it yourself.

So it’s fat shaming if you raise concern about their weight but not shaming when you raise concern about their breathing? What kind of logic is this? Why is there fat shaming but not breath shaming or sleep apnea shaming?

How easy it is to blow an entire’s day worth of calories in one meal.

[ishameeveryone]

Calories really do make a difference in our diet. See how the foods are the same in each row but one row has more calories. It doesn’t look like much food but calories is what matters, not at how little you eat. 

[antifatlogics-blog]

Calling all weight loss “disordered eating” is just rude to people who actually struggle with eating disorders. There is a huge difference between loving yourself+wanting to lose weight because you feel it’ll improve the quality of your life and having an eating disorder where you eat less than 500cal a day/throw up everything you eat/etc because you’re disgusted with your body. Not everyone who wants to lose weight wants to because of self-hatred.

A lot people with eating disorders have their lives revolve around their weight and food intake (before I recovered from anorexia that was the only thing that mattered to me). Healthy weight loss doesn’t.

[ishameeveryone]

This, I am so sick of EDs being misused. Calling someone eating disordered just because they eat healthy or count calories and budget them and limit sugar is like calling everyone autistic who is shy and introverted and good at math and seeing patterns. Lot of people don’t even know what an ED is.

Let the staff of the ER weigh you

Why do I even have to say this? The trained medical staff of the ER need to know your weight to treat you right. This is not fatphobia. They want to save your life you fucking nut.

And it doesn’t matter if you’re underweight, healthy weight or overweight.

They have to know so you don’t fucking die. Nobody cares if your feelings are hurt because they weigh you.

[ishameeveryone]

They weigh everyone. Average sized, scrawny, fit, curvy, underweight, bony, you name it.

[truebodyposi]

Between: 

Followers who DON’T reblog my shit (”I totally support you. I just… don’t actually support you.”) and flood my askbox with questions about their life like I’m their personal nutritionist and fitness trainer.

Haters telling me to go die, to delete my blog, that I’m stupid, uneducated and have no clue what I’m saying. 

And /r/fatlogic stealing my posts (on multiple occasions) and this time one of the mods telling me that “it’s been circulating on the internet since 2013.” and it’s not mine. (Not kidding. Here’s the post. Which was made January 15th of this year. Here’s me being told it’s been around since 2013.) 

I can’t IMAGINE why I don’t want to come back to this blog.

Fuck all of you. Honestly. 

You all made this impossible to enjoy doing.

DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?

[ishameeveryone]

I’m confused, do you not want people reblogging your stuff or are you find with it?

We really need to normalise exercising and eating well for reasons other than losing weight or building huge amounts of muscle. I’ve started going to the gym recently to relieve stress and help me sleep but despite the fact that I fit into shirts and skirts in size small, I’ve been asked if I’m trying to lose weight numerous times. 

Here’s a list of non-aesthetic reasons to exercise:

relieves stress

keeps you healthy

improves sleep

can have a positive effect on mental health

makes you stronger and fitter

something to focus on other than work/school/uni

IT’S RECOMMENDED AS PART OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

I have been health shamed too and thin shamed and accused of having an eating disorder by my family. It’s annoying but I don’t get all upset about it. Lot of people have no idea what an eating disorder is. 

[snarkingonfatlogic]

i think some people get upset when they hear “eat less, exercise more” like they think we’re telling them to eat an apple as their entire calorie intake for the day, and run 10 miles every morning before work and then go to the gym on your lunch break. but what we’re really saying is to start off slow, replace candy bars with fruit, drink water instead of soda, take a walk outside once a day, and then slowly do more as you build up strength and get used to your healthy lifestyle. it isn’t hard.

[snarkingonfatlogic]

The misuse of the term anorexic really annoys me. To be anorexic you need an underweight bmi and/or to have lost your period if you're a woman. Yes bigger people can develop eating disorders but that would fall under EDNOS. Not anorexia. Starvation mode is a stupid belief too. Your metabolism can slow down a little but not enough to make you gain weight on a small amount and on 600 you would continue on losing. Ugh.
