I disagree with a lot of the movements that, intentionally or not, encourage people to [i]stay[/i] fat
I could care less if someone is a little overweight but when you start getting tree trunks for legs and arms that looks like French pastries, then you really need to get help because people will make fun of you, and it's just not healthy.

This is beyond stupid. I'm a fat fuck, and I realize I'm a fat fuck. I spend all my day on the internet and eat and that's why I'm so big. But I'm not gonna cry and bitch and claim that it's unfair.
The sad thing is, there is some weird fucking fat shaming going on, and in probably the worst possible way. I'm a fat bastard, and that's my fault. I'm also trying my best to lose weight, and I'm not doing too bad.
But what really, really pisses me off, is that if I go for a run, people laugh and take the piss out of me. I try and and ignore the idiots, but it's a fucking downer.Being overweight, I can understand why people mock you for it, to a degree. But a fat person trying to loose weight - fuck them, they're taking away our fun! That's the only way I can see it, anyway. If I see anyone overweight out and about jogging, or running, or cycling or whatever, I give them a nod of the head of acknowledgement, I don't try and make it fucking harder for them...
jesus it's supposed to be motivational
STOP making fun of fat people! They have enough on [I]their plate[/I]
I have to wonder if the people shitting on her success are women who've never even had children in the first place
sorry for being skinny

Well, i have tree trunks for legs but that's because i can leg press about a thousand pounds so they tend to get that way.
fat shaming doesn't make people lose weight so there's no reason to do it unless you enjoy being a tool.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, a good portion of the reason why people make fun of others who make legitimate efforts tends to be in order to cover up their own insecurities. If they're making fun of you for being a jogging fat guy (or girl, internet's funny like that), you can take some pride in the fact that they probably want to lose weight too, but aren't willing to make the effort like you, so they resort to insulting those who remind them of their fear and loathing.
In other words, the people who're taking the piss out of you for running to loose weight are probably just scared to do the same, and resorting to pointlessly insulting others making actual efforts to hide their shame. Kind of like how vocal homophobes tend to get caught in homoerotic situations, they hate themselves and take it out on similar folk to make themselves feel superior.
In reality, you're actually superior to them for both making and acknowledging the effort to lose weight. So don't let them get you down, just feel a little twang of pity for 'em inside and keep going.
being a former fatty fat fat fat, fat people that get defensive and the whole "stop fat shaming" movement annoys the fuck out of me. I know it's hard to stop eating that 10th slice of pizza but it would really just make your whole life a LOT MORE BETTER if you decided to lose weight. Not only will people stop "discriminating because your fat" but so much more other positives such as increase energy, fit better into clothes and just more confidence and a good feeling like "fuck yeah I did it." The only one to blame for you to continuing to be obese is yourself and lack of self-control.

This Fat and Proud shit is dangerous. Good health should be praised and bad health should be frowned upon.
Constantly bothering people over it is uncalled for though.
The real problem is fat shaming because of looks and not health, but being "fat and proud" is stupid because it'll always be linked to bad health
Honestly, I sometimes find the "what's your excuse?" tagline kinda condescending (although it may be motivational for some).
[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;42547408]I'm also fucking sick of the word "privilege" being thrown around by people like this and radical feminists. It's not a "privilege" to be skinny. It's something caused by genetics and metabolism or something caused by people that fucking earned it. I also hate this "Fat Liberation Movement". The only thing you're being oppressed or put down by is your own weight. I hate how these hamplanets have the audacity to compare their "struggle" to people who have actually been enslaved, oppressed, people that have actually struggled with major issues. It's a disgrace, it's an affront to those people. The only struggle you have is moving.[/QUOTE]
When people use the term privilege, they don't mean that its a privilege to be something. It means that you don't have to deal with a negative stereotyping by other people.
For example what is meant by thin privilege isn't that its a privilege to be thin. It means that in most situations you don't have to face things like people making fun of you due to your weight.
Dont think of privilege as having something positive, think of it more as not having to deal with something that is negative.
I think when it comes to me
you should work on being thin for YOURSELF, no one else but YOURSELF. It's YOUR CHOICE, YOUR BODY, and your LIFE. You can accept being fat and happy, just don't be this so called "Fat and proud" because being proud of a bad decision is stupid.
There should be many good programs people can CHOOSE to go into to work against obesity but no one over 17 should be forced into them
fat shaming is mean but acceptable in many cases, but exercise shaming is fucking ignorant, destructive to society as a whole, and completely childish and lazy. If you actually want to shame the idea of exercise it's because you're too stupid and lazy to even try it and you really are the last person anyone should get [I]any[/I] advise from because it's very obvious you are terrible at making even very small positive life decisions.\ and have very little personal responsibility.

I personally don't give a fuck, but it's shitty message for people to give overall. "We'll mock you for being overweight, and we'll mock you for trying to fix it".
[QUOTE=Stents*;42546698]Lazyness is a choice. And most people are fat because at one point they chose to be lazy (Enphasis on most and not all). When you say "it's not a choice because for it's hard" it becomes an excuse. If someones knows fully-well whats best for them but refuses to do so because "it's hard" I have to sympathy for them.
As hard as it may be you can change your own personality. An example would be Phineas Gage a railroad worker who had a rod struck through his head that damaged his frontal lobe. He survived and recovered from the accident but after his personality was completely different, to the point where friend started calling him "no longer gage". He lost all his social skills, he was constantly acting inappropriate in public and getting angry and business partners. However he decided he didn't want to act that way and worked to change himself.
That said they don't deserved to be directly insulted, which will usually just give them some form of social anxiety. Reading the jokes here it seems they are targeted specifically to the people on this tumblr who use the excuse "it's too hard!". And I do believe "just don't be fat" while rude, is a adequate response, overcoming obesity is something someone has to actively choose, and no one else can help you until you make that choice.
TL;DR: Don't use "it's hard to change" as an excuse[/QUOTE]
It's not an excuse though. I am not saying that anybody should be given free reign to be fat (I mean, I certainly cannot stop them if they choose to be fat but they don't get a right to complain). I am just saying that people should try and be more patient about it and stop judging the fuck out of fat people. I mean, FP is supposed to be very forward thinking but just saying "just go an run" or "choose not to be fat" isn't easy for some people. That doesn't mean they shouldn't try, but you should certainly be more supportive and understanding of their situation, rather than critical.
There is absolutely no reason anyone should be proud to be fat.
I think it's come to a point where people mix up being fat with having a good personality.
Be proud to be a good person. Don't be proud to be 300 lbs.

Agree with a dude a few posts up. I get how fat-shaming is hurtful, it doesn't help at all. But this whole fat-praising shit is ridiculous, you are fat, you are a danger to your own health, you should not be proud of it. I understand the need to accept yourself for 'who you are' but excess amounts of redundant protoplasm is not you, and it's not beautiful. Especially when, as someone so eloquently put it, you are walking around on two tree trunks.
and being fat as a 'condition' does not exist. Sure, you can have genetic aspects that do indeed contribute to your bodies ability to deal with fat, but ultimately you're just a person that won't stop eating and won't get up, because if you did both, you wouldn't be fat as fuck.
and again, it's perfectly fine to say "I'm big and beautiful." but it's a lie, I don't care, that shit is barely subjective the only people I met that truly appreciate fat women are the thirsty ass niggas on /soc/ big girl/chubby threads or people that have trouble getting their dick wet so they default to accepting the only thing that'll mutually accept their nasty chode, a thirsty fat bitch. I really have trouble believing there are guys that legitimately would prefer a big fat ass over a slim/barely chubby girl, if they had the choice.

adult bullying and schoolyard bullying happen for the same reasons

The fact that there are people out there who are literally proud of being unhealthy does kind of make me feel better about myself.
[QUOTE=Melnek;42547270]That's because they don't actually feel great, they're desperately looking for excuses and even justification for the terrible life choices they have made that have led them to obesity.
Instead of wallowing in perpetual self-pity like most obese people, they chose to actually form some sort of pseudo-movement that aims to bring "justice" for the obese (even though what little fat-shaming exists in society is totally justified), so that it would serve as an emotional safety net meaning they no longer have to justify their awful condition and can just retort with stupid crap like "fat & proud" to further entrench themselves in the delusion that obesity is fine.
Unless you have some sort of genetic illness, being fat in 2013 is just a sign of weakness and boils down to mere laziness. Being proud of being lazy is flat-out dumb.

Well I don't necessarily disagree, but its pretty hard to say that to the face of someone who is obese. I have a friend who is a genuinely good person but she's way into the whole "hoho plus size models embrace your body hohoho", but there's no way I could take such a harsh approach to the issue. If they can't take care of their body you can't save it.
