[@jadeemme3697]

I was watching Kiana Docherty's channel about this very same subject yesterday. Kinda has the same points about the whole fat activism/health at every size movement going on thing. I think what it comes down to that, when we see obese individuals receive treatment for food addiction and and encouraged to love themselves, we see long-term weight loss results, and this method is more effective than fat hate. fat hate causes them to feel more stigmatized and send them more guarded, pushing back to the point that they even shun their own community members for deciding for themselves to diet and lose weight for their health. thankfully, some people on their weight loss journey see the toxic behavior for what it is. i think the most important part, overall, is to still treat obese people with human dignity and not see them as less than you. whatever reasonable thing it takes to make it easier for them to feel more accepted and loved, thus feeling more supported to start and continue their weight loss journey, i'll do. the science is just there, positive reinforcement works better than negativity. talk with your obese family members to start with, say that you're concerned, that you still love them, and that the goal isn't to be "prefect" or have some sort of other extreme body dysmorphia extra-skinny or extra-swole body (they love to use this argument, as if a diet will push them to the opposite extreme, ugh), but to have them with you longer and healthier in their lives.

[@ForRealAndTrue]

I used to work as management of a plus sized company for about 7 years. While working there, I was introduced to a lot of people who claimed body positivity and were upset or insulted when I tried to improve my physical health. While the choice to eat poorly and become less active was all mine, I was around people who would enable me to make bad decisions and working there, I became the unhealthiest I’d ever been (about 270lbs). At one point, after I had been management for about 5.5 years, I decided to lose weight. After losing about 50lbs, we started getting complaints that me losing weight was “pushing diet culture” and “making people feel less comfortable shopping at our location”. Never did I bring up my weight loss or push other people to do it, but I did have a lot of people ask me and tell them that I was inspiring them to take control of their own lives, yet the complaints kept rolling in. I couldn’t believe how fast the people who loved shopping with me turned on me when I decided to do something that improved my own life.

They say that they shouldn't put skinny models on covers because they're making others do "unhealthy" extreme dieting but aren't you doing the sale thing? We just went from an extreme to an other, what's the point?
