So taking care of your body and your health is “being at war with your body” but being morbidly obese is loving your body…? 😵‍💫

[khadyadjisall]

If someone has to always say how happy they are, they probably aren’t as happy as they want you to think. My 2 cents. 😅

[SarahModlin]

Trying to pretend to be extremely happy at such a high weight doesn't change the fact that it's unhealthy in the long run. I tried to force myself to "love and accept" my body when I was obese, but I still felt terrible because it was so unhealthy for me.

Its funny how hard they work to lie. I started this year at 300 lbs, am currently at 220 after getting the gastric sleeve and working my ass off. I will NEVER go back to 300 lbs, i was MISERABLE. Everything hurt and I am only 23! Theres no way being bigger is a recipe for happiness.

[GinaBlythe]

Ok. Does this give me a pass to say I'm happy being anorexic? They can't judge me. I mean, I'm boney, but I'm healthy. Isn't that how it works? Health At EVERY Size? isn't Tess "anorexic" and supposed to scared of being fat? When did she go from TERRIFIED of being fat to LOVING being fat? Or has she never been anorexic in the first place and only using that illness for attention? 😏

I am a small person who has been overweight. I can’t believe anyone saying they feel good when carrying THAT amount of extra weight. It is a lie. The performance of self love is a fascinating way to describe this.

[Shinukuro]

The reason so many diets fail is that people make temporary changes expecting long-term effects when in order to get long-term success, you have to make lifestyle changes that are lifelong.

[naemissa]

they're the most defeatist people I've ever seen. I mean, according to their logic nobody should ever even try to get into Harvard lol. if you told someone who's trying to get into Harvard "ummm well you only have a 3.4% chance of getting in so stop being at war with yourself sweaty" everyone would see how cruel that is, but it's apparently okay to tell supermorbidly obese people to keep living painful, uncomfortable lives instead of encouraging them to try to find a sustainable way to lose weight. and the truth is that they only do this because they can't stand seeing fat people lose the weight, because it takes an amount of work, patience and discipline that they could never put into anything. it's honestly pathetic.

“I’m the fattest and happiest I’ve ever been!”

The As someone who went from 220 to 165 I can wholeheartedly say I’m way more happier this way than I was back in my bigger years. I even went back to wearing jeans and pants that I swore off of

[mr.nobody]

I've always thought that super obese people look like very tall toddlers. The excessive body fat completely obscures secondary sex characteristics, making the men and women mostly indistinguishable. They look like chunky, smooth babies. Not "hyper-feminine" at all. I was on reddit the other day, scrolled past a picture on the home page of an obese woman showing off her wedding dress. Before I read the caption, I LEGITIMATELY thought someone posted a picture of their two year old in a fluffy dress. Straight delusion. Whatever a FA says, is usually the exact opposite of the truth.

They can say happy all day long but the eyes is so unsure and sad..

[marilynbeth]

It feels so much better to be thin. I can move so much easier. There is a lightness in my step. I can bend. I didn't feel comfortable doing yoga when heavier. Now that I'm lean, I can move my body in ways that I never thought possible. I was so excited the first time that I could sit crosslegged on the floor without discomfort in many years.

[owenb]

Saying "if you try to lose weight, you hate yourself" is the worst fallacy to me because it inhibits growth as a person. Do I "hate myself" if I want to try to learn a new language? They could equally say that. I would say I'm unsatisfied with the person I currently am and want to be different. It seems depressing to imagine you have no agency over your own life

[yesimvegan]

I think you’re spot on when you say “performing confidence”. Confident people don’t need to constantly tell themselves and others that they are beautiful!

In a way I actually feel bad for a lot of these people. It must drive them bonkers to have to constantly perform confidence to a dispassionate audience while competing for attention on the TikTok algorithm

[Flyig_Walrus]

Wow the 4 boob thing is trippy. When I was fat AF I defiantly wasn't happy. I was getting a little older and I was in extreme pain. Just wait until these sad girls are over 30 and start having medical issues.

[wife_of_Macaque]

Your voice is really comforting and relaxing to listen to.

[squeakywombat]

I've been morbidly obese. It's not fun. It's pain and being uncomfortable. You're sweatier, your joints hurt more, you breathe harder and you generally feel like garbage. You use more resources; food, medical and otherwise. It's a selfish medical disease that has to be broken. Loving yourself means taking care of yourself. Getting healthier and being at an optimum weight not only will fix your mental health as well, it will boost your confidence MASSIVELY. Confidence is generally quiet. They speak so loudly as to how beautiful they are to others. That tells me they are insecure as they have to keep yodeling it out to the heavens. Congrats on 20k!

"Anyone attempting to make it seem easy to be happy, free, and full of self-love is trying to sell you something. These things require effort and discipline over a lifetime."

What a hard hitting quote by Nadya
