[...] FA, from my perspective. This post is just a guy talking about why he is bothered by FA blogs: http://unfatblog.wordpress.com/2008/05/19/two-faces-of-fat-acceptance/. He does a better job explaining things than I do. This next blog kinda highlights the anger [...]

I recently gained some unwanted weight & was having difficulty losing it. Thought I’d write a blog to help me hold myself accountable. Then I thought I’d wander into the blog-o-spere to talk with others about my difficulties, successes & whatnot.

Made the mistake of stumbling onto the blogs you mentioned above. At first I was confused, then I got kinda upset. I am amazed at how mean & defensive most of them were to the comments I posted. The comments that didn’t get jerked off immediately, of course.

I went there to talk about the misinformation on the web & in the media. I went there to find others who were struggling, so we could compare notes and try to find a real solution. I was polite, accurate with my information, and friendly- in my mind. You know, considerate, PC and understanding.

They did not want to welcome me into their world. Which turns out to be ok, because I don’t think I fit. See, I’m not fat enough. & I haven’t suffered long enough. And I’m a bad person, because I want to lose my excess weight.

Thanks for writing this blog. I appreciate it. I will visit you all again.

I’m on my way to bigger fatter blog right after I stop at the toilet to purge and hit a few pro-ana sites to reinforce the mental problems that cause me to want to visit bigger fatter blog in the first place.

Greis – I would guess that they use calories per square meter because that was a direct instantaneous measurement they could make. Calories are just a measurement of energy (ie heat). Why they then didn’t sum over total surface area to calculate total energy flow I don’t know, but I would have to guess that they had no way to find the total area.

I’m in two minds about your post.

On the one hand, it’s clear that you are dismissing the concept of fat acceptance, I most certainly do not.

However, I cannot agree with so much of what is said on the mostly US based fatosphere, that it’s possible that you have more points of agreement with them, than I do.
