Does the Fat Acceptance Movement hurt or help?

It's all over Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram: #EverySizeIsBeautiful, #LoseHateNotWeight-women of all shapes and sizes flaunting their curves on social media

"Even medical experts condemn it!" Of course, that's their freaking job! Keeping people healthy!

“Lose hate not weight”
You could lose both

The sad part is that 99.9% of these whales want dudes with six-packs.

This is perpetuation obesity. I don't believe anyone should be shamed. But I also don't think any one should live in delusion 😬🙂❤️

You can change you’re weight but you can’t change your race. That’s a poor comparison

Of course.... make a group around fat acceptance because it’s positive friendly, okay. See you in 10 - 5 years when y’all be deep in the ground.

Being lazy and unhealthy, and dying at a young age shouldn't be promoted

If you love your body that much then you will care enough to better it for your health.

[sharonflynn]

so the Dr says focus on health ....which she by being extremely overweight doesn't do. SMH!!!

It undeniably hurts, it's not even up for debate

Thank you, subscribed. You are right to speak about shame of losing weight as it is what Jesus made us - to be as we are. Fighting our predicament is an act against faith and that includes daring being fat. I’m fat, well if you choose to identify 133kg as fat then that is your choice and so be it, but not I’m not afraid of it and many at my church are also overweight, many more than me. I used to feel guilty less often but since turning to Christ and church groups I have started to feel guilty more often, and you know what - it is for the better. When driving away from Jesus I feel more confident but when returning to church, the guilt comes back. At church we bring it up sometimes and our group agreed that part of faith is to celebrate our guilt, because it keeps us clean and beneath Him. Encouraging guilt is be part of our Christian culture that we inherited. I would not be ashamed of guilt as it is part of being a good Christian, and those that are not guilty might not be forgiven and thus might not reach heaven. I myself often have guilty feelings of not enough faith in God but I use this guilt to ask for forgiveness so I can be saved. I don’t think we should try to overcome our guilt but recognise it as part of being a Christian, even if it is difficult to live with. Even if we feel worse with this guilt, it I better to have it and know that we are true Christians. It brings us down, but it brings us together. Together, and down. If we are overnight too, then don’t fight - speak to Him and ask only to be saved, for only suffering will await if after death if we don’t turn to Him. Amen.

If something tells you it is ok or even good to continue a lifestyle that shortens your life expectancy then it is bad. We don't encourage people to used tobacco or drugs because it will kill you. Being fat will kill you. I see people decades older than me speed walking because they have controlled their diet and get some exercise. I see people decades younger than me who get very winded going up a single flight of stairs even though they use the hand rail and pull with their upper body. I don't see any fat old people. This is all said with concern, not hate.

The important question is how do these people reach around to wipe their behinds?

[daynelim]

i do feel like what they say is right though when people stopped pointing at my weight all the time I was in a much better mood. And because of that, I felt the urge to take care of myself and lost the weight.
it may work differently for different people, but then again some body-positive people taking it a bit too far so i think people should just learn to find the right balance

2:07 It took her SO much effort to get on the scale 😐

[jdplaystuba]

I’m overweight right I lost about 5 pounds so far and look. Being overweight is depressing and I have a good addiction too it’s getting better tho I’m able to control myself and stop over eating. But this fat pride movement is retarded as much I want to make fat jokes it’s just sickening.
