Each year one of the new teammates gets chosen to be the next heavyweight champ for their team…

[clearlyonhere]

I’ve been putting on a lot of weight recently and it’s getting obvious so I think I should go back to the gym. I have noticed I’m blowing up like a balloon with all of the fat piling its way onto my body. I don’t even recognize my body in the mirror anymore. I used to have high sharp cheek bones and a defined jawline, now I have rounded chubby cheeks and what will soon be able to be called a double chin. My neck is thicker. All the definition once visible in my toned arms is disappearing. If I don’t do something soon I know the muscle under the fat will make them look that much fatter. My once small but nice boobs have grown to be hugely round tits the size of cantaloupes…. My toned legs are softening and expanding at a rapid pace. My thighs have begun rubbing together. My ass used to be firm, but now it’s jiggling with every step I take. And my belly is the worst. I used to have defined abs. People would come up all the time and ask how I got my abs to be so defined. My abs have disappear under a thick layer of marshmallow like fat. I’ve had people say I’m so round I look pregnant. I have a roll of fat that hangs over the waist band of all my pants because they are getting FAR too small for my ever growing figure. I’ve gone from such a fit sexy girl into a round chubby piggy. The only problem is, I just tried on some work out clothes to go to the gym and they are all way too small! I can’t even pull them up over my gargantuan belly! They are squeezing my ass and thighs so tight I feel like I’m a bust can of biscuits. The other problem is I don’t know if I can stop eating. My belly is constantly demanding to be stuffed full of fattening foods. My old gym friends haven’t seen me in months. If I go they may comment on just how BIG I’ve gotten. I’m sire if I showed up in this I’d be stared at the whole time. Whispers would start. All the people who used to ask my advice and come talk to me would probably not even speak to me. And if they did they would probably ask when I’d gotten so fat. I can’t imagine even trying to run now. My belly jiggles when I walk. I can even feel my love handles jiggle! I don’t even know how to lose this weight! Maybe I should just accept my fat(e) and accept that I’m meant to be a chubby girl.

If you saw me in the gym now compared to last summer what would you say to me?

Alright, @nutty-megg You want to reply on this post in a way I'm forced to see your reply? Let's do this then! :)

1) You have seen ONE video. You're saying all of this bullshit and making assumptions about this figure skater because you've watched a single video. You know fuck all about this skater and her capabilities, let alone whether she does figure skating as a hobby. You know fuck all about other fat figure skaters who you've never even watched. You have the tiniest crumb of non-factual information about One. Person. and yet you're trying to act like you have facts the size of Mount Everest.

2) Whether or not she does figure skating professionally doesn't fucking matter, asshole. She still matters, her skills still matter, and none of that changes whether she skates for fun or professionally. When the fuck did I talk about professional skating in my previous reblog? When, fucker?

3) Guess what! Representation goes beyond professional skaters, bud! Representation goes beyond the Olympics! I don't even watch the Olympics, and countless other people don't either. That doesn't mean we've never seen a goddamn figure skater before. Are you kidding me???? Figure skating is represented IN SOCIETY. IN MEDIA. IN CONNECTIONS. IN BASIC KNOWLEDGE. I have seen countless figure skaters simply because of movies, TV shows, cultural osmosis even! AND NONE OF THOSE TIMES EVER INCLUDED A FAT PERSON. You have no fucking excuse. Fuck you for saying this has nothing to do with fatphobia! THIS HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH FATPHOBIA, YOU WILLFULLY IGNORANT ASSHOLE!!! There's no excuse for not even representing fat figure skaters in FICTIONAL CONTENT!!!!!!! In fact, one of the main examples of representation for figure skating out there—Yuri on Ice—is INFAMOUS FOR BEING FATPHOBIC!!!!! EVEN BEYOND WHAT BODIES ARE REPRESENTED IN THE SHOW!!!! Even fat Olympians aren't given the same amount of representation and sponsorships as thin Olympians, let alone thin athletes in general! It's harder for fat people to be athletes because fat people aren't given the same opportunities and spotlight as the goddamn thin athletes you're praising as superior! Fatphobia has EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THIS!

Do you think fat kids are properly included in sports? How about in media about kids doing sports? Do you think fat kids get to participate in sports without being discriminated against and mocked and oppressed? Fatphobia affects who is encouraged to do sports, who is included in sports, who can do sports without being harassed and abused, who is automatically told they won't be given a single chance to prove themself, whose bodies aren't considered when making and buying sports equipment, who's chosen to make the team, who's popular and well-liked on the team, who is given scholarships to continue to do sports, who gets the opportunity to do sports professionally, who is represented in media as doing those sports, and who's given the money needed to continue to do sports to the point of getting to the Olympics. You don't know SHIT if you think fatphobia has nothing to do with you having never seen a fat figure skater.

4) FUCK YOU AND DON'T FUCKING WRITE TO ME EVER AGAIN, YOU BIGOTED, ARROGANT ASSHOLE!

Just thought people may enjoy this :)

Bulking season

I don’t think he understood what his teammates meant when they offered to help him bulk up!

[artofkhaos404]

If being fat is inherently unhealthy no matter what, regardless of genetics and bone structure and whatever else, THEN EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THERE'S SO MANY FAT ATHLETES?! AND EXPLAIN WHY THEY'RE SO FREAKIN HOT?! TELL ME YOU WOULD'NT LET THESE WOMEN DROPKICK YOU IN A MINUTE LIKE HOT DAMN-

I aspire to be like these women. I've been working out for a couple months, not with the goal of losing weight, but with the goal of gaining muscle and strength, and I feel the healthiest I've ever been... but I'm not the lightest I've ever been. I feel better at 240 lbs, working out and not stressing as much about food than I did at 210 lbs and dieting.

Find what health is to you and don't let diet culture take your joy 🖤🖤🖤

all my advice about using real athletes to learn drawing bodies beyond hard abs, and my particular pref being wrestlers, also applies to women btw. you can draw women who r strong and not an hourglass shape. fucking do it.

kris statlander, rhea ripley (look at her SHAPE), willow nightingale, ruby soho, these r just four off the top of my head that have obvious musculature and different body types. skye blue and julia hart have more slim cheerleader style bodies as well, i REALLY wanted to put emi sakura who is fucking STOUT (adoring) in this post but i couldn't find a good demonstrative pic, the list goes on

DRAW DIFFERENT BODIESSSSSSSS

You're looking...very... athletic 😅

Can you believe I was once athletic? 😇 tease me for how much I’ve let myself go.

[avephelis]

just wanted to say it's really awesome seeing the positive reception to chunky mikey LOVE YOU ALL 🧡🧡

[hohhie]

You think I haven't noticed? You think I don't see your attempts to squeeze your fat sides into skinny jeans? What if I told you that's not enough for me? I want you to be even bigger. A few more pounds on your hips won't hurt you, and I think your boobs should get bigger too. I like your cheeks, but I want them to be rounder. Please move less and eat more. Lie down more often. I like the contrast between us, because I'm generally very active. I can run very far, don't let me go✨ Do what I tell you, be obedient, bun 😌

Fat people...can and do have muscles (wow, I'm shocked)

"Hefty" is yet another of the million euphemisms people use to avoid saying the word "fat" because the most basic word to describe my body type is treated by this world as the equivalent of a taboo slur (I wonder why? 🤔)

Fat people can be of any health. Thin people can be of any health. If you think "healthy" is the automatic opposite of "fat," not only are you wrong in the dietary sense (our bodies do, in fact, need fats to survive), you're also wrong in a literal sense. You cannot look at a fat person and know their health. And making a fat person's worth dependent on their health is disgusting discrimination, bud.

"Those aren't fat" You looked at ALL of those photos and are saying that none of those people are fat? Zip? Zilch? Zero? Even the person on the goddamn fatphobic piece of shit "news" article fearmongering about "ob*sity" and thus directly categorizing the person in that photo as fat?

But above all else,

Fuck you for ignoring everything about this post, for ignoring the trauma of fat children, and for ignoring fat people's literal, actual oppression, asshole.
