The Cult of Fat Acceptance

[@discordantduck1808]

if you gave these people 24 hours in a fit body they would never talk about health again. the only reason they can even breach the topic is because they obviously dont remember being physically healthy.

[@nummulite99]

This! The human body is incredibly adaptable and you can be a ‘high functioning obese’ person for a long time. But like an abstinent alcoholic who suddenly experiences the sights/tastes/smells of life through sober eyes, when you lose weight you realise how dreadful life was. How you became a martyr to discomfort. How you needed something to grab on to to get up off the floor. How your feet swell and hurt after a long day. How you developed sores and rashes through sweating in the summer. How your acid reflux woke you up in the middle of the night. How you risked a blood clot every time you take a long flight. How you tell your friends you’re happy chillin’ by the lake while they go off on a magical hike to see a glacier in the mountains. Losing the weight is life changing.

So, people losing weight is something that she resents. She totally resents it. She calls it a power trip because she feels powerless over her own weight. A lot of us struggle, but there is zero reason to be hostile toward someone who is able to lose it and keep it off. Why the hell does she care if someone weighs themselves daily and counts their calories? She wants to eat how she wants without judgement but yet she's all too willing to judge someone else.

As someone who was in an MLM (multi-level marketing, aka commercial cult), I get this from people who are still in it as well. why do you have to speak out against it? Why do have to "spew hate"? I speak out because IT HARMED ME! And I don't want it to harm anyone else! I imagine people who leave fat acceptance feel the same way. They aren't "spewing anti-fat bias", they were harmed by this movement and now want to warn other people against getting sucked in.

​@aliceluna702 The fat acceptance movement will remove you for intentional weight loss, but you still fight for them? They say "health at every size" okay is Eug3nia healthy?

When I was younger and dealing with a binge/restrict eating disorder, I found the body positive/fat acceptance community really helpful. Then as I began to recover, I started feeling less comfortable in those spaces. It felt like many of those people were still obsessed with their body, but in a different way. I think loving your body where it’s at is really important and I don’t see anything wrong with it. But for someone like me who was struggling with body image and obsessing over it, it was still putting focus on my body and wasn’t helping me. What finally pushed me out of those spaces was seeing a content creator who I had been following for years really fluctuate with the her wait extremely. She was very open about her mental health struggles and I feel for her, but I realized she was still in a disordered eating mindframe, just fluctuating between both ends of the spectrum. I hope she found peace but I didn’t want to take advice from someone in the middle of an intense struggle.

[@ThePeculiarDragon]

@@lug358 exactly! It also kills me when they tout about their blood panels being normal.

[@ratulamorie5255]

@@lug358look at the way she distorted intentional weight loss, too. To her, it’s weighing yourself every day, tracking every bite that goes in your mouth, etc. So to her, intentional weight loss is just disordered eating and nothing else. She can’t wrap her brain around the idea that intentional weight loss can be about simply improving your diet and moving more and doesn’t always involve tracking calories. That wouldn’t fit her narrative that intentional weight loss is more dangerous than bejng fat. It’s more convenient for her to vilify it completely.

[@lug358]

@@ratulamorie5255 absolutely. But also, i dont think that tracking calories is disordered by itself. In fact, tracking calories helps me to keep myself on track, as we usually are not good estimating how much food we are consuming. For disordered behaviours to happen there must be a disordered mindset. Tracking your calories, weighting yourself etc does not have to be a disordered thing, neither physically or mentally. What i do think is disordered eating and behaviour is to be binging on junk food all day everyday and having no thoughts about your health or wellbeing at all.

I actually remember when I was morbidly obese, I had a similar delusion about "thin" people. I sadly assumed life was easier, if you were a smaller size. I realize with age and having lost the weight, that this was delusional thinking. I understand now, that a large percentage of people, look at those who don't have the same struggles they do, and automatically assume that those people have an easier, better life. For example, if money is a constant struggle, those people may believe that those who have money have an easy life. This is, of course, not true. In reality everyone has their own struggles. Overcoming a struggle doesn't automatically absolve you of having struggles. Basically, grass is always greener on the other side.

Most of these folks are way younger. That's an easier position to be in than middle age and up. It will get harder. Trust. It's not about weight loss for optics. It's for survival.

[@niemand9362]

Just because "you" are "healthy" now, it doesn't mean being fat isn't wrecking your health. It just hasn't shown up on a test and/or manifest it yet. Just like an underweight anorexic can be "healthy", or a smoker can be cancer free.

[@amordevanee1496]

She sounds bitter and jealous that others are making positive changes for their health and she doesn’t try. This woman sounds condescending, entitled, smug, ignorant and hateful.

[@PopFizzPaperDani]

This chick is the definition of tell me you’re miserable without telling me you’re miserable. If she actually liked herself and loved her life, she wouldn’t be on the internet spewing hate. That’s not what happy people do. ETA: I have yet to see a FA influencer/social media person come back after losing weight to shit on fat people. If anything, former fats I’ve seen (like myself) are hyper-aware NOT to do that, or they try to avoid talking about it at all. But we CAN call out bs when we see it because we’ve experienced both sides.

So.... You CAN'T change your mind, EVER! Crazy

[@jondano8249]

Thank you for your work!

[@aniE1869]

No leaving the squooshy cult!

[@yallthought8444]

I have no problem with Fat Acceptance existing, I think people have found a community and a way to promote better treatment of plus size people and that's fine. What I have a problem with is simply inserting yourself into the business of people who are not aligned with you. Not even talking about like outwardly hostile, fatphobic people who take jabs at the fat community as a whole--those people have opened themselves up to criticism--but I mean why bother taking issue with random other people who are losing weight? They're not actively working against you. They're not the ones hurting the community.

[@LaPenserosa1]

Few things are more grating than a communications major with a background in postmodernism lecturing via TikTok on fatphobia. Like, "Honey, I promise that prof you're crushing on is not following your TikTok dissertation."

I don't want to spoil her worldview, but the idea of controlling every single thing you put in your mouth was one of the most important skills in hunter-gatherer times (diahrrea could kill you), and it still is.

[@SeonasStudio]

This lady thinks she’s much cuter than she actually is. She should take care of her own yard before criticising the neighbours.

[@sueorosz8886]

The body you want, is the one you’ll work hard for.

[@quehagoconmividasos]

Haven't they agreed on avoiding commenting on other people's bodies? then why do they get so upset when someone loses weight?

[@dimplesmcgee3329]

The pause at 17:42. The poster child for a cult 😅

[@therealmspiggy9711]

Everyone is not seeking “power”, she is definitely projecting. Companies and influencers used the BP movement for clout. Now that it’s not popular anymore, the BPM is unraveling. If they were truly happy with their body and lives they would not be constantly making videos shaming people for losing weight.

[@thebadgamer1967]

Perfect word you used "BITTER" sad

[@wfpedersen]

I my opinion, this "belonging in a community" is taken to an extreme when it comes to america. It seems very hard to feel special and wanted over there. As a danish person, I NEVER grew up in a "I belong in this group and you are over there, so we don't like each other" with body types or color or anything like that. Everything in america seems to be like this. "the fat community" what does that even mean? So overweight people feels a sense of community over being overweight and therefor accepted? You can be a shitty person no matter your weight? no matter your color? your income? It's unhealthy to label label label in this way. I don't see weight, color og culture, I see your person, If I like you and your morals, we are cool. It must be so hard to constantly having to seek labels and drama like this.

[@caycehelderman9254]

Still waiting on this power I’m supposed to have being “thin”

[@the_homun_system]

lmao her dogs "yes" sure looks like the same body language dogs use to show discomfort (ears pushed back, averted eyes, lowered head) but she only seems to care what she wants and thinks soo... of course shes breaking her dogs boundaries the dogs proby just an object to her

I found this channel by accident, but something I love about this dude is that he's so real and neutral about things. He respectfully has an opinion that isn't necessarily radically pinting toward a single ideology. I think nowadays the internet needs less radicality. My guy's so chill lol

[@paularoney9068]

I am currently training as a counsellor. To be honest, I see a lot of the anger and the rhetoric of shitting on the fat community by losing weight for health reasons, seems to be more an embedded issue than people are willing to talk about? Why are they so so concerned with what others are doing with their health and body that they literally make it into a part of a personality P.s. this is coming from someone who was morbidly obese, lost weight put some weight back on etc etc

[@rachaelgargagliano7090]

Can someone explain to me how it is thin privilege if you have to keep working to stay that way like what 😂

[@skelelizzi]

As someone who was bigger it shocks me to see people like this. These people do not hold themselves accountable. Whether its loosing weight on Ozempic or staying fat and 'happy' and yet these people seem miserable.. Then you get the people who loose weight for health or gain weight for health and these creators see this as an attack because they are stupid and dilulu.. Its almost scary the amount of people from both sides who have such toxic and cold views on people.

[@Cashbrook20]

Victim and village mentality. "Its them vs us"

[@LanaJoy78]

I have lost weight from obese to a healthy BMI. I haven't noticed an uptick in privilege. I'm doing it wrong!

[@brandonislemons]

Anyone else shudder everytime they hear someone say "the fat community"

[@rachaelgargagliano7090]

I just don’t understand people who have issues with former FA losing weight if they are just sharing their experience

[@Toastie19]

“Not an original idea” I really hate the narrative that any criticism towards movements like these must be “original” Maybe the arguments have stayed the same because they’re good arguments. Has she ever made an “original” fat acceptance argument?

[@wideride8320]

I'm just here for Max. ❤

[@BC21beats]

She just young and invincible right now. It's a shame because she's got pretty good genetics but she'll start feeling it when she gets older

[@mmia828]

She acts like when you lose weight you can’t be mentally struggling and still see your self as a plus size this women she is weird .

[@BorderOllie]

Pot calling the kettle black on the cult name-calling, eh?

[@Hansolo2048]

I'm so happy I started losing weight. I'm only 26, so no permanent damage done to my body most likely. Although I was a healthy weight growing up, it started to creep up when I was about 20. And yes, I'm fatphobic, and proud of it. Jeez, this TikTok cult is nuts.

[@ac.demitri]

Oof- it really is a cult nowadays… thanks for sharing, appreciate what you do 🤙🏽

[@AtepaHathorMakalani]

I eat way more when I exercise every day than when I'm fat I just eat healthier food and move my body. 😂

[@iatethecrayons]

im so confused. They say they dont care about what people say or think about them but then when they realize they have to lose weight they dont want to share or show that because...then people would say things to them, like "told you so" or criticize them like wheres the whole "i dont care" attitude gone?

[@nummulite99]

Honestly, she sounds like an abusive partner. You leave me… and no else will love you like I love you. No one else understands you like I understand you. No one else wants you like I want you. It’s really disturbing.

[@CairynJay]

The thing is in the same way that someone who has never been fat won’t fully understand the struggles so to someone who has never been thin will not understand what life is like as a thin person so OF COURSE they’ll think it’s all roses.

[@DulcesSweets]

The way some of these people act, you would think they are being kicked and stoned by skinny people every time they leave their houses. I'm not saying fat discrimination and bullying doesn't exist, but talk about drama! My goodness!!!
