The post continues:
What actually makes us healthier (but not necessarily thinner:
Enjoyable physical activity
Eating a variety of nutritious foods
Eating enough to be satisfied
Nurturing meaningful social connections
Cultivating body acceptance
Prioritizing quality sleep
How dieting can erode our health:
Restricting food, leading to nutrient shortfalls or bingeing
Weight cycling (losing and regaining), which increases body fat and decreases muscle
Avoiding doctors because of your weight
Skipping social gatherings to void "off-limits" food
Skimping on sleep for extra exercise
The hidden harm of weight stigma
Our healthcare system often assumes higher weight = poorer health. But research shows that weight stigma (whether external or internal) increases the stress hormone cortisol.
Chronic stress plays a casual role in cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and other conditions.
Missing questions in weight-centric research
When researchers see poor health in larger bodies, they rarely ask:
Could it be the physiological effects of weight shame?
Could it be due to experiencing stigma at the gym?
If we don't measure fitness levels and weight stigma, how do we know body weight is the actual culprit?
What the Diabetes Prevention Program really proved
The DPP is often cited as proof that weight loss prevents diabetes. But participants were far more successful at meeting their physical activity goals than their weight loss goals. It's actually evidence that regular movement reduces risk!
The weight-inclusive approach
This approach makes room for all bodies without dictating that people must change their size to be healthy.
Remember: the exact same things that improve health for a thin person improve health for a fat person.
Making the mental shift
True well-being requires "unlearning" the idea that weight=health or value. The most meaningful health behaviors support both physical and psychological well-being--without obsession, rigidity, or self-judgement. It's a journey, not a pass-fail test.
I'm not a mad scientist, I'm just a disappointed scientist
The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
oh shit
As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
Y'all know what to do Tumblr.
"Why must we Madonna/whore the vegetables?" is a phrase I just felt super glue itself in my lexicon immediately

She is not a health food by nature that's just the box you insist on putting her in
Why must we Madonna/whore the vegetables????
Have we lost our capacity for nuance???!!

people who dont like fat girls dont know a good deal when they see one. more girl per girl
Someone in Glasgow please go see this for me pls. I will be there in spirit 🙏
Brief report from the flute accompaniment:
It went well! At least 100 people attended, families dogs a solid portion of Glasgow's trans community. There was a really lovely atmosphere, nice weather and a very cheerful celebratory vibe.
After short speeches from the ballhaver and the large dyke (my wife), the ballhaver was given a chupa chup and blindfolded (execution style). The balls were then duly kicked; it made a surprisingly loud dull thumping sound. She fell to the ground to loud cheers and there was a moment of silence while Taps played on the flute. The large dyke wore solovair urban hikers.
Account from the Large Dyke.
Arrived early to find the crowd already gathering, so the kick got off to a prompt start. Following some introductions from everybody and some cheery folk music from our flautist (my wife!) we got on with the kick.
I think we got good contact, the top of my boot making a good solid noise on impact. Very good atmosphere all round, people stayed to chat for a while. Were it not January it would have been an excellent opportunity for a picnic.
10/10 queer event, would happily kick anybody in the balls in the name of community.
Account from the ball haver
7am: the pressure is getting to me; I wake up and drink half a bottle of diet iron bru from my bedside table; roll out of bed, and psych myself up in the mirror - "you can do this my little pogchamp" I say to myself over and over until I decend into a stupor.
8am: I play an hour of Okami on steam to replenish my chi levels
9am: I look at my balls for a while
10am: I spend 20 or so minutes trying to decide what to wear before realising it's the subartic in midwinter and I'm going to have to dress for -2C° regardless of what I choose and opt of my trusty black Schott thermal padded winter flight jacket and a pair of loose, warm Uniqlo trousers to give my testicles room to breathe.
11am: crashing out, texting my friends to arange a substitute kickee, an understudy, anybody so I can just become one with the crowd and not go through with it
12am: the homies have arrived, I'm drinking redbush tea in a small cafe by the park; god is in his heaven and all is right with the world
12.15: "you must be here to watch me get kicked in the balls?"
12.40: a circle emerges, from within the circle a palpable energy focuses like a lens down unto me and I feel like I'm gonna pee my pants a little
12.50: cheers begin, several complete families with dogs arrive - more friends appear and assort themselves into a gathering of 'real heads' ready to watch my groin be dessicated by the firm lace of a women for woman woman with a foot loosed through the gates of war as Augustus saw fit the dispatch and return of his troops from far corners through the blessings of Janus.
12.55: I think I left the stove on
1pm: Short introductions are made, grace is shown, beautiful flute music accompanies the gathering
1.03pm: what is left of my dignity disappears up my inguinal canal; I fall to the ground and languish a moment. I can feel it more in my lower chest than I can in my groin but the humour and adrenaline lift me and I'm laughing on my feet again soon. I kneel for the last post.
saw a video about a singer who canceled the fireworks show at her concert because she noticed that a stray dog was quietly watching her performance and she didn’t want to scare him away and maybe maybe there’s still hope for humankind
❝ Brazilian singer Taty Girl left her fans speechless during a concert when she made an unexpected decision: she suspended the fireworks show she had planned to protect a homeless dog who was attending the show. While singing, Taty noticed the presence of a dog she named “Caramelo,” who was calmly watching from a distance. Without hesitation, she told her audience: “We will not launch any more fireworks, Caramelo does not like them. Out of respect for him, we will not use them. You can see that he is there quietly, enjoying the show.” Taty’s gesture was applauded by the audience, who not only admired her sensitivity, but also suggested that she adopt the dog. According to reports, the singer listened to the voices of her fans and decided to take Caramelo home, ensuring him a life full of love and care. ❞ Vía 🎥 tt/tatygirloficial

man having your life even a little bit together will really make you realize how chronically sleep-deprived and poorly fed and under-enriched everyone is and then when they turn to you to implicitly agree that that's just the natural state of existing you feel like the asshole for being like "actually I think you might benefit from eating breakfast regularly and picking up a new hobby"
Girls just being girls!
Every time I see this I watch the whole thing and I just love it a lot so I’m finally reblogging
I can't find the post but there's this one post that's like "aging is less than 1% as terrifying as whatever the fuck is going on with people desperately trying not to age"
That but with weight.
Getting or being fat is less than 1% as terrifying as whatever the fuck is going on with people desperately trying to not be fat.
Miss Piggy's response to misogyny and fatphobia is physical violence and I think we should all take something from that
the worst extremely low-stakes consequence of societal fatphobia is when a low-calorie/""""healthy"""" recipe is actually good and suddenly everyone thinks you're sharing it as a diet aid and not because it fucks hard
anyway put some frozen raspberries in a bowl and pour just a leetle bit of cold oat milk over it and the oat milk will semi-freeze into a kind of ice cream texture. and now you have fake raspberry ripple ice cream that's 90% raspberries by volume
Diet culture is fucking wild.
I just learned that Trader Joe's labels some of its food as "Reduced Guilt." There's a brand of popcorn called "Lesser Evil." I had to see an ad on Tumblr for a popular yogurt brand with the tagline of "Less sets you free." I read the back of a food product once that described the food as "sinless."
People literally choose a bag of carrots based on the calorie count. I've had to hear multiple people claim that fat people shouldn't be allowed to eat fruit. There was a water brand at the grocery store that advertised itself as having "zero calories." A woman saw me next to some diet culture smoothie products and made small talk with me about how she didn't understand why the diet culture smoothie made out of fruits and vegetables she was using to replace an entire meal with had a whopping 300 whole calories.
A man talked to me at the store about how he was there to buy a snack, which consisted of two hardboiled eggs and a packet of black pepper. He then told me about his weight loss dreams while being average-sized and thinner than I am.
I saw a post on Tumblr of someone praising a "bread" made out of tree bark that ancient Finnish people ate as a last resort during times of starvation, and they praised this "bread" because it had a fourth of the calories of regular bread—calories that would have saved the lives of countless Finnish people during those famines who instead had to die.
People on here passed around a video of some diet culture soup that promised a loss of 15 pounds in a matter of days, and all of the comments were people laughing at how it did so by making anyone who ate it shit their brains out for a week, yet the people who did were still satisfied with the diarrhea-induced weight loss.
There are so many accounts fat people can give you of thin people who did nothing to obtain their skinny person genetics physically taking food out of the fat person's shopping cart because "You don't need this." And what the thin person decided a random fat stranger didn't need was a fucking melon.
I've talked about this stuff before, but diet culture has legitimately become a cult that destroys lives and kills people by the hour. And yet public outrage isn't about all of this. What people are so worried about is the fact that fat people merely exist. And that is apparently so horrible that we gotta make sure to tax sodas until us fatties go away, which people genuinely think will work.
What really adds insult to injury is how we have known for decades and decades that dieting has never worked from the beginning. But that doesn't make corporations billions of dollars nor one group of people higher on the social hierarchy, so none of that research makes headlines like the next fruit that causes cancer or the new diet that pinkie promises it'll work this time.
I want to scream.
