#fat%2bacceptance

[itsmyskinilivein]

I never really thought about this in depth before. I have recently reconnected with an old friend. We are both fat and have struggled all of our loves to overcome weight issues. We have dieted and exercised together. We have also stuffed our faces with pizza and ice cream (or Taco Bell and then ice cream) together. After talking to her about this newfound love and appreciation that I have found for my body through fat tumblr, she had the oddest reaction. She was appalled and disgusted. She chided me saying how could I love my fat. How dare I say that if I ever want to be truly happy, that I need to love myself the way I am. I still struggle with weight loss for health reasons. (I'm having issues with my ankles and feet, I have diabetes, and I've been diagnosed with a thyroid condition). But that doesn't mean that I can't love and respect myself for who I am. It's like me giving myself permission to love me hurt her. Maybe she feels less than because she so desperately still hates herself because she isn't thin, or maybe its that a radical idea like unconditional self-love hurts her deep down. Just some food for thought

Health is about far more than weight loss dieting and exercise

It starts with the way you think about yourself. The way you sit, stand, move and use your body. That's more important than dieting yourself up the scale or stoking up an ED on the 'advice' of haters and liars who refuse to be accountable for the results of their assertions.

Take care of yourself, not other people's bigoted outbursts.

Seeing this C4 programme called "shut ins"

Apparently, it involves people who are "too fat to leave their homes." I'm presuming that means they feel they cannot fat face the reaction of others.

What's the answer to this? You've guessed it. Weight loss. This is what leaves so many fat people hollow and passive. They're problems are only referred to in terms of their weight. Imagine every problem you have being referred to your size.

That exact situation describes an advanced state of neurosis. Something akin to body dysmorphic disorder when everything is seen through what your body looks like.

This is what others project onto fat people and how they address people. In other words, they don't. Instead they fixate everything on size.

The only thing people are shut into is crusade for lifestyle anorexia.

It's the 'obesity' industry that likes things just the way they are

Industrial food simply takes full advantage of this. A common belief is that the 'obesity' industry seeks to slim/erase the existence of fat people. That isn't any more true than the idea that the slimming industry would be in business if diets actually worked.

It's successful because the 84% keep coming back. That's where your business comes from. ~ Richard Samber, a former finance director of weight watchers

The 'obesity' industry's purpose and aim, is to keep things where they are without appearing to. It wants fat people to be forced into a pursuit of anorexia. They know calorie restriction is setting people up for failure-without appearing to be. Like capitalist economies set up classes then pretends there's complete social mobility through "willpower."

The key to the management and containment of people is trapping them in a process where they appear to have complete initiative.

Hatred of fat people has nothing to do with "gluttony"

there's nothing more gluttonous than consuming calories until you are poison or being drunk as its more widely known. Yet people openly celebrate that as if it's the measure of what a good time.

Indeed, that is denial as the faulty premise used to try and prop up the nonsensical "food addiction" shows.

If you both seek to despise what you seek to represent as gluttony and embrace it, you create these splits in your mind.

Investing your self respect from yourself as a being to your slimness turns fatness into opposite and fat people into other. The justifications "obesity" "gluttony" "irresponsibility" etc., come after.

Fat people, recovering from;

body dysmorphia

catastrophizing

self hate

body hate

disassociation from real body, bonding with a false version of themselves that doesn't exist

self erasure

self abuse as self care

anorexia as a way of life

exercise as punishment

acceptance of coersion

stockholm syndrome-bonding with your repressors/abusers

generalized anxiety

panic mode

eating disorders

over-responsibility mindset

guilt complex

over-conscience

emotional and intellectual self-repression

the acceptance of lies as truth and truth as lies

etc.,

via mostly self help, will and fat acceptance.

That's what fat phobes fear the most.

Dear fat haters, if you think fatness is dangerous advocate for a cure that works

Where there's "disease" there must be cure or cures sought, or someone's bullshitting. I cannot think of one thing I consider a serious health problem that I don't want a cure for.
