"Fat Positivity" TikTok is... Insane.

Today we're diving headfirst into the world of fat activists on TikTok- these folks believe in "health at any size" and promote the lie that obesity is beautiful and healthy.

Most people who are fat are not going to get so fat that they die by the time they are 40. Most fat people have a BMI under 45 which doesn't increase the risk to someone's health that much before old age. Being super morbidly obese is still quite uncommon.

@@madshader that's true, if a fat person drinks heavily and smokes they are more likely to die than say a fat vegan that eats big portions of peanut butter and pasta but also eats fruits and vegetables all day and doesn't drink or smoke.

So, I work in the medical field, and this body positivity movement is really getting the better of me! I can still accept it if you as an adult choose to be happy with your obese body, but when it starts to affect the children, I have a REAL problem with this! We are exponentially seeing young children (5-7 years olds) with Type-2 diabetes and HYPERTENSION!! With enlarged livers even on adult standards. When your 3 year old needs to wear 9-10 year old pant because that's the only size that fits around their waist, we have a problem!!! That child looks to you to teach them healthy choices and habits, so if your child is overweight, it is your fault as the parent. And it is really sad to see little 5 year old children being out of breath from just walking from the passage into a room and onto a bed, because their lungs and heart is not strong enough to support their obese bodies. Interestingly enough, it is also usually the most obese people who expects the most help from everybody else. So you are too big to be able to get up from lying down into a seated position and then expect ME to pull you up... Nah girl, I'm gonna stand back and let you do it yourself, cause my back ain't about to be hurt due to your life choices.

Completely agree. They’re normalizing bad health and horrible eating habits. Kids will eat what they see their parents eat (most of the time)... I try to eat and share at least one fruit or veggie a day with my 6yo and he’s a really really picky eater so it CAN be done!

I agree with everything except that it's the parent's fault. My family has always been active but with covid all the sports have been canceled and my parents have been working all the time so my entire family gained weight. My parents and my brothers are over weight by 20-50 lbs im over weight by 2 and that was okay because i used to be 80 lbs at 12 which was super unhealthy but now im 123 at 13 but with sports being brought back i lost atleast 5 lbs and im excersizing. It does matter if your child gained weight when it was hard for them maintain a good weight its the steps after that count. When my parents found out their 7 year old so weighted 78 lbs we cut down on everything now its eiter 1 soda or 1 starbucks per week instead of random times and now we must do a sport activity for 1 hour. For my brother its now 1 1/2 hours of soccer practice and for me its 2 hours of basketball pratice and running/ walking a mile everyday aswell as practicing basketball after practice.

I had friends say to me they could not imagine me as anything but a smoker, and I took that to heart. It became my identity. I didn't stop smoking until I was rid of that friendship. I had to rewire my mindset, because I started to get sick a lot and felt like i had a cold all the time, my lungs felt strange and walking made me winded. I had been smoking for 10 years. If people are in need to identify with something, if they need a group or a sense of belonging they are going to grab the nearest identifyer. There is a sense if not belonging anywhere that pushes people in to groups that harm themselves and/or others.

One of the origins of “fat positivity” is that American culture is geared to make people obese (fast food, sedentary lifestyle, “super size me” culture, sugar added to everything) and the more obese a person is the harder it is for them to lose it. There’s actually science behind this. So instead of understanding and addressing the issue people decide to go the other way and embrace it. These people need a lot of help and they don’t even realise it

[@mikeexits]

Yeah, though the interesting flip side (as far as I know, and I do speak from experience having gone from 5'2 and 190+ pounds to 6' and 155 pounds) is that the more overweight you are the faster you do lose weight when you actually make the necessary changes. Once you get closer to a healthy weight, the velocity of your weight loss slows down significantly. I'm sure there's a point of diminishing returns where being morbidly obese makes it far harder to start and make those changes though. If you think I'm wrong, go ahead and speak your mind. I'm not above being open to new perspectives and I won't be offended, haha. Either way, hope you and everyone else who reads this is doing well.

[@AngryReptileKeeper]

"the more obese a person is the harder it is for them to lose it" Once you reduce your eating, a lot of weight actually comes off really fast if you're very heavy. It's nixing the habits that got you there in the first place that's going to be the hardest roadblock to overcome.

[@thehardrockhippie7118]

Growing up my entire family consisted of men and women who weighed hundreds of pounds. 200-600 pounds. I remember being a little kid and developing this fear that when I grow up that’s what I would look like as well. I watched many family members struggle with every day tasks and spiral into depression because they were unhappy with themselves but couldn’t motivate themselves to fix the problem. I watched many family members develop health issues, not being able to sleep without a machine to help them breathe, heart attacks, heart disease, diabetes. It was terrifying to watch as a little kid and thinking that I would turn out with the same problems because it’s “genetic.” Then I got older and started eating better and exercising regular. If it weren’t for that initial fear I probably would have just grown up to be obese like many of my family members, and had to resort to gastric bypass to lose weight. I couldn’t allow that to be my future, and I refuse to turn into my family. Of course I love them. I’m not afraid of them as people. But I’m terrified of the health issue that come along with being obese.

Another important aspect that often gets missed in this conversation is the emotional issues that someone must be having if they get this big. Psychologically people often become fat to try and protect themselves from hurt (like a protective layer of bodyfat) or even to make themselves unattractive if they have been (sexually) abused. This is really well known and very obvious once you talk to a few self-aware people struggling with obesity. So really, when you see such a morbidly obese person instead of congratulating them on their weight it should be about what they have gone through to get this heavy. What traumas did they experience that they became so obsessed with eating. Someone doesn't get this big just because they like food. They LITERALLY kill themselves through eating - you can compare this to a serious drug addiction. But of course people are screaming "fatphobic" if you make the slightest connection between obesity and mental health.

Normally when people bully you in a cruel/unusual manner it's correct to completely disregard what the bully is saying and accept yourself anyway.

I understand the impulse but they need have the nuanced understanding that just because someone told you to lose weight or made fun of your body in a wrong and mean spirited manner, doesn't mean it's wrong to lose weight and that not everyone who recommends weight loss is doing it in the same tone as a bully even if they're using similar words.

I hate exercising, so i didn't do that, i just changed my eating habits and tried to make sure i wasn't eating out of boredom or constantly stuffing myself until i felt sick. i am still massively insecure of my body, but i feel so much better about myself than i did before. it's different for everyone, but i never felt confident when i was heavier because i didn't feel healthy whatsoever. looking back on photos of myself from that time, i can see how sad i was and i remember how bad i felt. I am still working to be accepting of my body because everyone tells me how amazing it is, but having been overweight added to my already intense body dysmorphia, and it is a battle every day. i am still in such a state of shock when i try on old clothes that used to be tight on me and i can't even fit into them anymore even with a belt. i'm proud of the weight i've lost, and am now at a healthy weight for my height. to anyone feeling unhappy in their body, you are loved, and you care capable of making little changes to help you feel better

“Stop body shaming” is code for “encourage unhealthy lifestyles because we are all such special individuals that live in a bubble and I’m the only one that matters”. It’s getting ridiculous, the acceptance of narcissism.

[@JewishFollowingYeshua]

i started working out at least 5 days a week and this is currently week 4: no desire to stop. Feeling awesome (so far). All glory to God for changing my bad habits!

Some people just reeeaaally want to be part of a marginalized group - until they get bullied, as (unfortunately) all marginalized groups are

[@alejandrovallencci]

This movement went from “having a little cushion on your isn’t a bad thing” to “YOU ARE HEALTHY EVEN IF YOU CAN’T MOVE” and if that doesn’t just sum up woke TikTok in a nutshell idk what does

[@Tj_Swampy]

I agree like people look different you can be a little heavier that was the original body movement!!!!

[@_christconsciousness_]

Just curious, what do you think “woke” means???

[@serenas5411]

True

[@LivRayner]

I miss when the body positivity movement was like “Barbie dolls and Disney princesses are unrealistic body standards, it’s okay to not look like that”

[@Stonedsheepu8906]

@@LivRayneruntil they drew Disney princesses with “realistic proportions” and gave them tattoos and made them obese You really think a mermaid that swims all the time would have muffin tops? You think a 16th century French lower class woman would be really fat? Or a Middle Eastern princes- Actually, Jasmine could easily be heavier set if she wanted to because of resource availability. But the other princesses have no way of being fat

My mom used to say; “if your stomach goes out more than your boobs do, you need to fix that” these people would make her faint 😭😂

[@alanalocicero542]

omg that’s how I used to look at myself to see if I was too fat 😭 I was though.. but anyway that’s funny

Fr this is how I measure my "fatness" 😭

THATS WHAT I WAS WONDERING, I’m a DD cup so I always “passed” once I was through puberty

[@aidabaumgardner1392]

Body positivity is about loving your body through all the changes. For example, gaining weight during pregnancy, After the baby is born we are left feeling inadequate and like we are in someone else’s body. That’s when body positivity comes into play. You love your body through its journey back and forth. Or when you go through a life saving, body altering surgery like double mastectomy, etc. Body positivity is not about glorifying you unhealthy lifestyles.

[@peps1943]

​@@skrittle555 omg sameee. I had my septum for years but then it became synonymous with the blue hairs. I kinda miss it but they ruined it smh.

[@skrittle555]

@@peps1943 dude yes i feel this. "the blue hairs" lol it's so true. now i see someone with a septum and they're usually an entitled jerk and that sucks cos it's such a cute piercing! they don't deserve it. i wish we could gatekeep being alt lol. honestly i would say just do whatever you want but i didn't enjoy being labeled as an asshole just from my piercing :/ they really have ruined it.

YES! for years i dyed my hair every color of the rainbow but i got sick of being associated with the woke crowd (and my hair was damaged af) and i have it dyed a normal color with my natural hair color growing out

As a naturally skinny person I've always hated the phrase, real women have curves. It really really hurt my feelings. I try to gain weight, and its a real challenge... I like to workout bc it helps my mental health and overall health. And I'm made to feel bad for it, bc I "don't need" to

[@Anjasotherchannel]

Same issue. My reason for workout is that, although loosing weight is not an issue, I still need proper muscles. I've never worked out to loose any weight, but I came to a point where I realised, that having a nicely shaped body doesn't mean that working out is unneccessary. I still need a healthy amount of muscles to not get back pain, neck pain or other issues like being unable to carry stuff because it's too heavy. I stopped trying to gain weight as that normally backlashed by getting a stomach inflation and that resulting on loosing weight.

[@erviatangerine5108]

Same. Naturally skinny, but gym & swimming pool are 50% of the reason why my depression is in remission. And other 50% are my cats 😂

[@urmom_341]

Same :/

[@fragrantbloom]

Same. I'm naturally skinny and got body shamed my entire life. They literally look like whales and call it "real bodies" like what?
