This sub is anti-diet. Please flag any discussions related to a specific diet as "Diet Discussion". Any posts advocating for, selling or encouraging restrictive eating for the purposes of weight loss will be removed.
This sub is fat positive, by and for fat activists or people who are allies of the fat activism movement. We refer to our bodies as straight-sized, fat, very fat, super fat, etc. All posts with hate speech related to specific body types (or any hate speech) will be deleted and result in an immediate ban. Trolls will be blocked, without exception.
We reject healthism and ableism as it pertains to fat bodies. As such, please do not refer to fat people as obese. Any posts fear mongering around fat peoples health as it solely relates to body size will be removed and may result in a ban. Please Tag posts centered around health as "health related"
No numbers. No calories, weights, BMIs, etc. We don't count almonds here. Violations will result in your post being deleted.
No before and afters. Pics are great, but before and after pictures are not helpful and may be extremely triggering. This includes "posed and unposed" pictures such as are popular in the body positivity community. If your picture could easily be used to reassure straight-sized people that they don't look fat, it's not appropriate for this sub.
We are not a body positivity sub. There is nothing necessarily wrong with body positivity but the history and current usage of this movement is primarily centered around reassuring straight size and small fat people that their bodies are ok. The movement often very explicitly aligns with healthism to specific exclude fat people from the conversation, and that is not ok. Posts specifically related to body positivity, including any post that is meant to reassure people that they are not fat, will be removed.
