Fat Acceptance

[KaydeeKrunk]

Super fat myself. Super happy to be so. I really want to reclaim the word fat, because I hate having people say "Oh you're not fat." Like yeah, I am, I've been to the doctors and I can clearly see all the mush attached to me, I am fat but I'm also cute af. ^u^ So I am behind this full force, I just don't really like the "#effyourbeautystandards" because of the way she runs her business or well, doesn't and just kind of kicked it under the rug when he modeling took off, 'cause obviously she pandering to beauty standards.. being a model. So idk, but yes body positivity for all!

I wish I wasn't fat because everyone keeps making fun off me, critisizing what I eat and complaining that I hates sport .:-:.

whether a weight is healthy or not varies between people, as all our bodies are different. a lot of people have a natural build that is considered too heavy, due to our society's narrow beauty standards. fat acceptance has little to do with supporting unhealthy lifestyles, it's about being able to be comfortable in your own skin and not feeling like you have to starve yourself to be pretty.

Yes. Thank you for posting this.

I don't think being overweight can affect (that much) the way you do sports. You can still workout and kick butt at +200lbs.

I don't understand this concept of "____ people on Tumblr," as if people offline wouldn't also be just as offended or upset by certain comments. If you tell a person on Tumblr that they're fat and ugly, they're going to be very upset. If you a tell a person in the real world that they're fat and ugly, they're going to be upset. Being offended isn't exclusive to Tumblr.

i never said it was i was talking specifically about fat people on tumblr since they were talking about fat people on tumblr

i have never implied tumblr is offended more. i do think the website takes some **** way too seriously (otherkin drama) but for the most part i agree with their most basic views. anything else like mono priv is bs tho

Yeah there is nothing wrong in it, we should all be able to love ourselves for who we are and how we look. There is no one strict standard for beauty, it can come in all shapes and sizes of course! Although I do admit, promoting obesity, or people being severely underweight, is really not that good. Like, all it will lead to is unhealthy consequences, so as long as we avoid promoting things like that, I see absolutely nothing wrong with it!

I'm a healthy weight, but I've always had a bit of extra 'chub' on me, lol. x3 I've always been made to feel like I am 'fat' because of it and that's apparently seen as a bad thing, even though I am a perfectly healthy weight for my age and I do exercise and eat healthily. It's just I don't have a very fast metabolism, so I put on weight a bit more easily than some people. I've had friends made me feel bad and self-conscious about myself, and they felt they could do so because they were slim and fit in with society's standards of beauty. But as I've grown up, I've come to love myself a lot more and accept myself for who I am. I may not be slim and I may not fit to society's standards, but I'm happy with who I am so that's all that matters. I don't exist to please other people.

btw when I was talking about extremely over weight I meant something like this.

(aka) Obesity


being over weight is not bad it's just when you get to that point of obesity it's not healthy.

 

[hemming1996]

I just hate it when they have to brag about how "curvy!!" they are and what "goddesses" they are. It's just so obnoxious and personally I think they an lose weight,but have reached the point where they can't be bothered.
And its the same for both sides. I will never support being obese/underweight

I don't care what your weight is. Love your body and yourself.

However, I refuse to actually argue with people on the concept of thin privilege... Fat people aren't murdered for being fat or are economically disadvantaged purely for being fat. There's the argument that "fat people more likely to go to jail" but if you consider most people who are fat also seem to be in poverty and..

1. healthy food is more expensive
2. people in poverty are more likely to go to jail due to turning to drugs or illegal activies to make money

it makes sense it correleates with that. sorry i just get annoyed when people say this

i do think theres a stigma against fat bodies, specifically black women who are fat. their asses are always overexaggerated and people always talk about how they want a black girl with an "ass" or something.

tldr: do whatever you want, its not my business

Lol healthy food is not more expensive. Eating generally unhealthy food every day is much more expensive.

I rather know my health is perfectly fine than staying at a hospital for so much $$$ because I am unhealthy.

Honestly, people should love and accept who they are.
But if they really do care about themselves, many should make sure their health is not in danger.
I have been 50+ pounds heavier than the weight I should be for 10 years, I never understood why my mom was "skinny-ish" and blamed my biological father for "giving me his slow metabolism" lmao I was so naive.
The fault of me being overweight is always accepting fast food from my mom or step dad. I don't remember a day where we all cooked homemade food and ate as a family, besides thanksgiving.

Overall, Do whatever you want to do to your body, but don't blame others or offend someone.
I've been there until I realized I cannot live my life unhappy because of other's making fun of me. Plus I am still young... I fear of having heart problems since it is common from my mother's side.

Treat people how you want to be treated, and treat your body like a temple. lmao sorry super lame saying but that is how I see it.

The doctor tells my mother she's obese, although I really don't think so. IMO she doesn't look fat at all.
Although I'm 67 pounds (and I'm pretty sure underweight) I can accept fat people.
To be honest I don't like calling them "fat," but I can't think of a word that sounds better.

 

[Llust]

i have nothing against overweight people - their appearance doesnt contribute to their personality. the only thing i have to say about being overweight is that to a certain degree, it's not healthy. the only reason as to why i'd hate an overweight person is if they have a sh-tty personality

 

[SockHead]

if u dont mind being fat then u do u boo boo

I hate how some fat and obese people are wasting other people's tax money on Obama care for their health problems (such as diabetes) which most could have been prevented by making healthy choices.

 

[King Dorado]

uhh, Medicaid and Medicare were around long before the Affordable Healthcare Act....

You do realize that not all people with diabetes are fat, right? I know plenty of skinny people with diabetes. Also, not every fat person has diabetes. I'm fat and I don't have diabetes.

I know. I was just listing an example.

 

[King Dorado]

personally, I like a woman who's got some fat on her...

It's sort of ridiculous to say it's just people "on Tumblr" who feel attacked when you tell them this. People on Tumblr are still humans with feelings, just like a person in real life. A person in real life is probably going to feel equally attacked if you were to tell them they should try to lose weight.

Another important thing to consider: if a person is fat and doesn't WANT to lose weight, they don't have to. It's their body. If they like being fat, it's their body and they have every right in the world to continue to exist as a fat person. The same goes for being skinny. Telling someone to "consider their health" doesn't mean much if the person doesn't care, and no amount of saying they should care will change that. In the end, it is (again) their body, their health, and their decision. You (I mean "you" generally, not just you specifically) are not affected by their fatness or thinness, so it's really not your concern.

I can personally agree with this. I am tall and skinny, and am on the edge of being considered underweight. Through some parts of middle school I was "attacked", from some people thinking that I had a eating disorder. I don't. It is simply because of my body type and genetics. There were some times that I hated my body (because I was slender I don't have very large lady-curves).

I think when it comes to fat acceptance, I am personally alright with it. But they're exceptions. If someone is a little bit chubby and/or is considered overweight, then I honestly don't care (in fact I like my hubbies to be a bit chubby). But if someone is obese (and are unhappy about it) and they are not taking the steps to becoming healthier, then I have an issue. The can also be applied to I guess the "skinny spectrum".

Basically it is alright to be slightly different with body fat. But if someone is on the extreme of either spectrum, then I think something has to be done. That doesn't mean attacking or being rude to the person, it means getting them actual help.

This is my opinion. You can agree or disagree, but I would like to know what you guys think.

"But if someone is obese (and are unhappy about it) and they are not taking the steps to becoming healthier, then I have an issue." And issue with what? It's not your body. You are not affected by their fatness. You have nothing to do with their health, their body, or their decisions about either.

I should've clarified it better in my original post. I don't have an issue with the body. It's the idea that someone is unhappy about their body (and/or themselves) and won't do anything about it. If they are happy, then I don't care about their body. But studies have shown people with unhealthy bodies tend to have unhealthy emotions.
