People say weight loss is for sure possible...but no one agrees on how to do it.

Dieting works...but there's now an "ob*sity epidemic" despite people lining the pockets of weight loss corporations more than ever.

Weight loss products work...but weight loss corporations are making the Exact. Same. Claims. about their products that they did in 1910 with the products that were sold and then discontinued over a century ago.

Humans are all meant to be thin...but there are families of fat people who stay fat no matter how much "willpower" they muster and have fat ancestors going back generations.

It's about health and not looks...but people who are losing weight due to smoking, cancer, illness, mental disorders, and other health conditions are praised for their weight loss and told to keep going.

Fat people aren't oppressed...but fat people have no positive representation, no proper access to clothing, face a wage gap, endure deadly medical neglect and abuse, have their deaths by police brutality excused with their fatness, and countless other aspects of oppression that they deal with every single day.

Fat people are all fat because they overeat...but you can point to any fat person on the sidewalk and there's an extreme likelihood that they're on their 30th diet attempt in the past 10 years while there's thin people who eat whatever they want, however much they want, and don't exercise yet never gain a single pound.

Fat people are privileged because they gorge on unnecessary food...but fat people are overwhelmingly living in poverty, are not paid the same amount of money for the same work as their thin peers, are not chosen for promotions, are turned away from jobs that an employer wants more than a "pretty face" for, are at major risk of workplace harassment, and endure oppression even beyond just that.

Fat people aren't treated badly...but people use the word "fat" as a metaphor and synonym for "ugly," "unlovable," and "unworthy," while at the same time believing "fat," the most basic term for a specific body type, is a dirty, taboo insult you should never allow to leave your lips.

Professionals agree that fatness is inherently bad...but almost any weight-related research study that people, especially weight loss corporations, use to justify demonizing fat people has the worst methodology imaginable with validity errors and logical fallacies galore as well as conflicts of interest due to how many of these studies just happen to be funded by the corporations that make millions and billions of dollars off of the demonization these studies promote.

All health conditions a fat person has are caused by their fatness...but there is not a single health condition that only fat people obtain, many fat people developed the health condition in question when they were thin or thinner, weight gain is often a symptom of said health conditions, fat people are not given the same amount or quality of healthcare as thin people, and repeated starvation attempts (also known as "yo-yo dieting") have been shown to worsen a person's health.

Fat people can't have eating disorders...but fat people are the group encouraged to partake in disordered eating by this fatphobic world the most and then are not given any support to recover.

Thin privilege doesn't exist...but thin people who see the way fat people are treated in society do their absolute damndest and take whatever drastic measures they have to in order to prevent themselves from ever becoming one of "Them."

Fit and fat are mutually exclusive...but there are fat athletes as far up as even the Olympics, and sports are intentionally made inaccessible to fat people to the point of fat children even being turned away when trying to join a sports team.

Fat people are ugly...but all we grow up ever seeing in media are thin, conventionally attractive people painted with layers of makeup next to fat characters who were intentionally designed with an ill-fitting outfit, matted hair, and all other traits that fit the "ugly" stereotype that the character designer could manage to slap onto a single person.

Fat people are big, bad bullies...but studies show that weight is the number one excuse that children use to bully their peers, outcompeting a multitude of other oppressed identities considered.

Fat women are just men and vice versa...but sometimes they're androgynous, and sometimes they're basically nonbinary, and sometimes they're just things, and sometimes they're nothing at all depending on what labels a fatphobe decides will hurt a fat person most that day.

Fat people are subhuman...but fat people deserve the same love, respect, compassion, and support that all people are born inherently deserving.

Fatphobia isn't real, but—

Stop it with the lukewarm fat acceptance.

“It’s ok to be fat if you still make efforts to eat healthy and exercise enough!”

“It’s ok to be chubby, as long as you’re not ob*se”

“If you’re concerned about someone’s weight, just respectfully talk to them about it”

“It’s not their fault, they’re just addicted to food”

“It’s not ok to make fun of fat people but we should still encourage them to lose weight”

Shut up shut up shut up. None of this is your business, actually. If you can’t fully accept fat people, ALL fat people, even the unhealthy ones, the “lazy” ones (what does that even mean?), the ugly ones, the ones that are very fat, and all of those that don’t fit your idea of what a “good” fat person is, then I don’t want your so-called support.

These were only in the top eight or so comments on a YouTube short I watched today (AKA I gave up reading the comments quickly for the sake of my mental health). In addition, there was a doctor in the short that basically said cancer research didn't fat shame anyone.

I just... I wish people would do research before jumping to conclusions. I really do. Not that it would really help, considering how many "reliable sources" (/sarc) there are about weight loss out there.

I left a comment explaining the "ob*sity paradox," and kept it as mild and neutral as possible so no one would rip me to shreds and report my account for bullying again. (I almost had my google account erased permanently for calling someone "idiot" and every other person in that comment section was basically saying fat people were worthless.)

Sometimes I wonder if explaining things to people is even worth it.

just saw a boomer meme on fb that seemed to imply no one was fat ever before the 1970s???? lmao anyway this is fully my fault for being a boomer on fb but it just kinda made me speechless for a bit. fatphobe logic be like "no one was fat ever before Big Pharma (or Big Macdonalds) started pushing Big Obesity" cool sure completely ignore that fat was seen as prosperous and beautiful some centuries ago. maybe back in the 70s fatphobia was worse so your dreamy beach pic doesn't contain fat people because they would've been bullied off. i noticed it didn't contain any nonwhite people either i wonder why. why do these people never stop to think when romanticising the past ill never get it. yeah our society is horrible in many ways but the fact that fat people exist isn't what's horrible about it

"boop war" this and "tumblr pvp" that. are we not all bonding? have you not met people you would have never heard of? do you not look at the url of the stranger who booped you and think wow, i just met someone who thought of me, even if its just for a boop, before hitting the boop button on them as well? do you not gain joy from this? even in the heat of battle, our humanity shows itself. we glance into the eyes of an opponent who holds our gaze ever so slightly too long for someone who's supposed to be an unfeeling soldier and we think to ourselves i'll miss you, stranger before we inflict a killing blow. the boops show us we're human

Had to look thru my medical records for something and I realized that this time last year I was about the same size (maybe a little thinner) bit I weighed 30 lbs less. At first I was freaked out and mad at myself but I thought about it more and realized that this is where my body wants to be, as soon as I started eating like, 2 meals a day (3 is still too much for me) I gained weight (over like 6 months). And I've stabilized out at this weight. And sure according to eugenics I'm "morbidly obese" but nobody looking at me thinks that. And my doctor isn't concerned even when I mentioned my weight as a personal concern, and I have actual muscle I my body now. I'm not super happy with where I am, I would prefer being thin, but diets and counting calories and over excersising only ever hurt me. I'm really proud of myself for realizing this and for breaking down the thoughts I was having. Recovery looks good on me.

im being so fucking for real and i need you guys to boost and reblog this you nonblack selfshippers have got to stop using "simp." you have to. its african american vernacular english (aave) which in colloquial terms means its not for you to use. in a space already hostile towards shippers of color, youre just making it more inhospitable to black selfshippers by appropriating our language. say youre crushing. say youre obsessed. say youre head over heels, say youre a sucker, say youre infatuated, just stop saying simp. for the love of god

{nonblack shippers [even other shippers of color] i do NOT want to hear your opinion on this post or hear about how you "didnt know" or are "changing it right now." just be an ally and LISTEN instead of needing to add your piece.}

So you definitely don't want to read the comments on this one, but there's a new study out showing just how bad weight discrimination in the work force can be.

I like how they examine how the impact intersects with class and gender (just men and women, with 23000 ppl in their sample, I'm 100% sure there were trans ppl, unless they were deliberately excluded)

tw: o word, lots of fatphobia in the comments.

These results suggest that the aggregate costs of wage discrimination borne by overweight workers in America are hefty. Suppose you assume that obese women, but not men, face a wage penalty of 7% (the average across all such women in our sample) and that this is the same regardless of their level of education. Then a back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that they bear a total cost of some $30bn a year. But if you account for both the discrimination faced by men, and for the higher wage penalty experienced by the more educated (who also tend to earn more), the total cost to this enlarged group more than doubles, to $70bn per year.

Why are people so surprised that fat people don’t like the word “obese”. They’re like “it’s a medical term, it’s not offensive” can you really not think of other so-called “medical terms” that are considered slurs nowadays? Because I can

A lot of Christians read A Christmas Carol and gloss right over the "pay workers a living wage" message and take away "not being merry on Christmas is a cardinal sin" instead.

#And then they use this for antisemitism #If you don't understand why a lot of non xtians and former xtians hate Christmas #Think about all the stories where not being sufficiently happy on Christmas is the sole problem to be solved in 22 minutes #we have multiple words of negative connotation just for people who don't like christmas #Christmas #a christmas carol #Charles Dickens #Chuckie Dick #post o' mine
