Skinny people get literally so mad when I tell them I like being fat and that I am not bending myself backwards to be skinny it's unreal

Hey why does it makes you mad that being skinny isn't the peak for me? Huh? Do you think I am unattractive? Gross? Unkept? People would make fucking lines to be drowned in my fat tiddies and I don't even have to hate my body to look hot.

One thing that always bothered me in high school (and still does, years after!) was touring a college and the tour guides went, "as a college freshman, you'll probably be susceptible to the Freshman Fifteen, so be careful!" as my tour group passed the college's gym complex (it was actually a pretty impressive gym, though, but that's beside the point).

Like, that just bothers me because... I wonder what is so different between American high school and American college that might contribute to weight gain (sarcasm intended)! Even taking 101 classes is very different from the classes you might take in high school, I don't think it's fair to hold your body to the standards you had in high school.

Absolutely, I think it's important to prioritize health for your body, but weight gain associated with major lifestyle changes are normal and why I remember this so clearly is because the threat of weight gain was treated as something that ought to scare us straight. If you gain weight in college, there's a reason why, and it isn't a horrific ordeal that you ought to feel ashamed of.

when my friends talk abt dieting and weight loss and how they're too fat and i have to not be the annoying bitch by going STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT ITS ALL BULLSHIT UR LIMITING URSELF AND HATING UR BODY FOR NO REASONNN

[clamorybus]

listen to me. stop rbing ed and thinspo posts with memes telling them to eat. just block/report and move on. diet culture is dangerous and vile but trying to be snarky at people who're clearly struggling helps no one. in fact you're more likely to cause them to double down in their unhealthy behaviors

Making a shirt to wear to family holidays that says "If you comment on how much / little I am eating / my body / say anything about calories / deservingness / food guilt etc. I will kill myself in front of you badly and then come back from the dead and kill you also and badly and then kill myself again. badly" and on the back there's a more calmly- and encouragingly-phrased list of resources on deconstructing diet culture for beginners

i never open depop if it's not for selling cus the listings it puts on my homepage are all borderline thinspo. like. knock it off omfg :(

In a twist that shocked nobody, the person who left those tags implying that fatphobia only hurts women is a radfem.

Oh yeah no, I figured, typically it's only a very specific type of person who says shit like that, I just get so fucking heated about people ignoring fatphobia/diet culture and the ways many forms of oppression uniquely effect men and I'm already annoyed over dumb shit on that post 24/7 so I snapped. I just hope if I can't change that person's mind I can at least draw attention to these issues, educate people, and encourage them to actually listen to the voices of fat men because they deserve to speak on their own suffering.

Side note, can I just say I love your username so much.

I am once again pissed at diet culture. I just watched three tiktoks in a row. how to cook dairyfree. How to meal prep without carbs. How to make healthy snacks without sugar. I keep getting (and stupidly clicking on) those articles that are like "ten things you shouldn't eat if you want to lose weight" and "why xy foods are bad for you" and wouldn't you know it last week i got recommendated articles that said those specific foods were super healthy and great for weight loss and now i should "never eat" them?? Is there any food we're still allowed to eat without being made to feel guilty?

[dreamertrilogys]

if you put low calories as a major selling point for recipes i hope you kill yourself btw

I think diet culture has completely ruined goal setting for me.

The trainer I see asked me to write down 6month fitness goals last week and now I'm actively avoiding all of them, even when I found pleasure in those activities a week before.

Years of being put on diets as a child and bribed to lose weight have made me so adverse to goal setting. (Yes I actually had a childhood doctor tell me he'd give me a dollar for every pound I lost)

I worked for years to untether myself from those mindsets and I will be doing this work for the rest of my life

I want to run because I find pleasure in it, not because i wrote down a goal

I want to strength train because I find pleasure in it, not because I want to hit a certain number of situps

Im not saying goal setting is bad, but it's bad for me.
