I just had a "conversation" (I use that word VERY lightly) with my mom about fatphobia that can be boiled down to:

Me (fat): "I feel bad for my friend (also fat) because no matter how much she diets & exercises (which is a lot) she's never gonna look like how she wants to look (skinny) because she's not built like that. It sucks that society demonizes fat people & prioritizes weight over health & that the healthiest person I know (friend) believes she's worthless"

Mom (fat as well and also fatphobic): "so you think that if I went to the doctor right now they'd tell me I was healthy?" (huh??????)

#basically I'm frustrated because every conversation i have with my mother turns into me criticizing her over something #or just in general becomes about her #my mom wholeheartedly believes that fat people cannot be healthy. & when I'm like ''yeah that's part of the problem'' she loses it #im just a little disgusted with the fatphobia lately. part of it too has to do with the fact that my bday came around a week ago #& my friends all got me clothes that are too small (size large). it feels like they're terrified to get me the right size (XL) bc they think #that's offensive somehow??? bro i am fat i wear XL it's literally the way my body has been the entire 10+ years I've known you guys #i hate too when i say I'm fat & ppl rush to be like ''nooo you're not fat don't say that'' bc bitch!!! i literally am!!!#why do you see a problem with that!!!!#anyways #rant over #fatphobia
