Excuse me, are you going to pay for my gym membership? I think not. I don’t have a local park where I can just do laps. The park is there, but no one in their right mind would go there after 6pm. So… where does that leave me?

If I’ve made bad choices then I have to deal with them. Don’t just sit there on your saggy ass and condemn me for it. There are plenty of reasons why people are fat. Don’t try to label us as lazy or as conformists.

So go scarf down a couple of luna bars and go back to your unconcerned lifestyle, I don’t need to read bs comments like yours.

The Fat Acceptance people want to stay fat. It’s that simple. Many of them are probably food addicts or people who are so comfortable with the status quo that they don’t
know how to change or they are simply afraid
to change.

I know how painful it is to be overweight and how difficult it is to change your life. I lost weight three times and gained it all back three times. The fourth time was the charm for me when I learned I had to make a lifestyle decision.

Being fat is not a natural state of being. People may be predisposed toward overweight genetically, but they don’t have to be fat. They choose to be.

Its full of things like twisted and cherry picked studies, never mentioning (or at least attributing) any health problem to being overweight, saying that anything they did in their lives contributed nothing to it etc, and the funny thing is that when members of the fa leave (or are kicked out), they actually admit to what they were doing.

Many even mention that they didn’t believe what they were writing when they wrote it, and always questioned their version of science but were to worried to say so incase they were ostracized sooner.

You get kicked out so easily if you don’t toe the party line on many of those blogs.

I’ve also never understood the idea that not wanting to be (very) overweight equals a hatred of overweight people.

For the same reasons wanting to earn more money doesn’t make you a hater of those with less money, or wanting more education doesn’t make you a hater of those with less.

Putting on muscle doesn’t show a hatred of those not as strong.

Gaining athletic ability doesn’t make you a hater of those with less.

The list goes on.

I don’t want to be overweight for the main reason being because it can only lessen what i can do, but i’ve never felt anything in any way shape or form constituting hatred towards someone else for being overweight because of that.

I have read through the MFS site and realize that yes, there is more to it than seen at first glance. There are people who do care about their spouses, still love them and want to be with them. If it were a case of no longer loving them, it would be a matter of divorce and end of discussion. As it stands, it is not my place to judge the condition of anyone else’s relationships.

I stopped talking to you because i felt you were being rude and argumentative. If you’d like to work it out, i’m sure you remember how to find me.

“Fat Acceptance… Just what MLK, Jr was fighting for–so chubby white women could avoid lynchings,
michelin men being burned in effegies on front lawns, etc.

Fat is beautiful. Just what my family who ran like hell to get away from the lynch mobs in Mississippi was praying for–the rights of fat white people to feel good about themselves.”

Hear, hear!
