#fat-talk

[snaccidentwaiting2happen]

It took me thirty years to figure out a very important truth: you can't walk off cancer, "skip dessert" your way out of Alzheimer's, portion yourself into curing multiple sclerosis...and you can't diet and exercise away morbid obesity.

If you are a *little* overweight: sure! Change up your food choices and burn more calories. Consult with your doctor. Have ALL the fun.

If you're morbidly obese: do not let yourself be gaslit into this diet and exercise shit. You didn't get this way by yourself, even though everyone will tell you that and your own brain will question it. But it's true--chances are something isn't right, and if your doctor won't listen, find another one. I'm not saying that it's completely dumb (it's part of the equation) but it's not the ONLY solution.

The studies on obesity have changed in the last thirty years. New genes have been identified. New eating disorders. The specialization of bariatrics has changed, and now there are both new surgeries and non-surgical options.

People will call obesity an epidemic and refuse to acknowledge it's a disease in the same breath. They'd prefer to look down on people and deem them lazy or weak for being obese.

You're not lazy, and you're not weak. If you're anything like me, you've just been horribly mishandled by the medical community and its outdated, judgemental, insidious preconceptions.

I'm not letting that story define me any longer. I'm fat because of a lot of things, but mostly I think it was in the cards. I have ADHD, anxiety, and binge eating disorder. My emotions are tied to eating, my dopamine thrives on food, and when I'm bored my mind goes to eating. It's deeply ingrained, and it's been a lot of work to undo that. I'm still working on it.

Because it's a disease.

And I take medication for it.

So if you come around and try to squawk diet and exercise at me, expect to get sat on, because us fatties just can't help ourselves and we just need to sit sometimes.

The secret Dungeon Meshi sauce that's getting people to eat better is that it's so non-judgmental. Senshi and the rest of the gang never talk about what not to eat besides things that taste bad and literal poison. They don't even talk about "health" that much besides the importance of a balanced diet. It's so much easier to eat well when you think of food simply as something your body needs, and that it's often worth the extra effort to make it taste good, especially when you understand how to connect "things your body needs" with "things that taste good"

idk y’all should treat fat men better. and i don’t mean mildly chubby guys i mean honest-to-god love-handles-and-double-chins fat guys. stop calling them shit like discord mods or gross weebs or nasty creeps or neckbeards or that they’re stinky or sweaty or beer bellied or whatever else. fatphobia isn’t cute, even repackaged in a neat little box of “ew men”

[lylahammar]

lil tip for everyone bc I feel like people often do the opposite of this out of internalized fatphobia

eat a big meal directly before trying on new clothes. you wanna know whether those outfits will still be comfortable on you after you've eaten. it's not shameful and is in fact very natural to be bigger at different times of day and it's okay to accommodate yourself feeling comfortable during those times too I promise 💛

i’m going thru a bunch of old videos and DAMN i was cute asf at 283lbs wtf

[yardsards]

surrounding myself with a bubble of diversity and self love and body positivity online and then being exposed to normies who actually care about conventional beauty standards feels so fucking bizarre. like you people just live like this??? are you not tired???

[titanofthedepths]

Yes you’re not fatphobic but are you capable of talking about fat people in a positive manner without saying somft/round/rotund/squishy/tumby/chumby/any other variation of the sort. Are you capable of talking about us in a positive manner without it being about beauty or attractiveness. Are you able to talk about fat people in general without being dehumanizing or infantilizing. Can you treat fat people with respect.

That thing they do when they run their dick along your cunt and leave you anticipating when you're gonna be all fucked out just from the tip rubbing against your clit, pressing itself against your holes but not pushing inside you . . . Not just yet . . . They wanna draw it outta you, drag out every last orgasm from your throbbing little pussy and feel you clench around nothing as you whimper and beg them to fuck you, rocking your hips so something more than the head of their dick can fill you up

[chubsette]

Someday could you give us tips to draw chubby bodies?

i once put together some tips on how I draw fat for a friend so i suppose i can share those right now :) just keep in mind that these might not help everyone and that i mostly don't know what i'm talking about. it's just how i personally draw idk

and i cannot reccomend the book morpho: fat and skin folds by Michael Lauricella enough. it's an amazing resource for learning and it really changed the way i understand fat as an artist

edit: excuse all the typos on the images fml

Randomly thinkin about Chilchuck today, and how he tries sooooo hard to self sabotage

like for example, other half foots on the island think that he's a greedy asshole who only cares about money, and he does nothing to try to disprove that

but then there's this omake at the end of book 9 that shows that people treat half foots fucking TERRIBLY and chilchuck started a union to protect them

and then in the bicorn chapter, he doesn't want Marcille to keep digging into his personal business so he tells her he CHEATED ON HIS WIFE

but he just COMPLETELY fuckin lied about that and made himself sound so much worse than he is bc he's afraid of being vulnerable with people and would rather everyone believes he's a shitty person so he can keep them at a distance

and the thing that's memed so often is that he refuses to help with fighting most of the time because it's not part of his contract

but if you take this lore into account (not gonna add those particular images to this post simply bc I've used them in so many posts already LMAO) along with this tidbit from the world guide:

then it's like. yeah he has to keep his weight low so if he gets killed or severely injured and has to be healed, that could be really dangerous for him. and even if he was healed at that point he'd end up being a burden to the party after that point, he would be too dangerously thin/sickly to be able to help.

Like, Chilchuck has so many things about him that APPEAR to be character flaws, but every single one of them has a very reasonable explanation. He just leans into the mischaracterization bc he's emotionally withholding and can handle people thinking he's an asshole more than he can handle opening up to anyone. he's such a well thought out and interesting character

Without showing your face, could you share a full body photo? Like, I know you’re big, yet somehow, I think my mind’s eye is underselling just how big.

does this help? me abt 5lbs ago :))
