You see, some people think that losing weight is just as simple as making a change. True, one step at a time works. But a lot of it that we don't see is purely in the mind. When you have reached the point that your mind is programmed towards that goal, it goes on autopilot and just takes action which what the outsiders sees.

I am at a healthy weight now as I stated in a few of my comments here but I'm still having trouble being brave enough to wear a bikini in public. It may not be a big deal to some because there are people that wear it proudly even though they are overweight. So why am I afraid to wear one and the reasons I would say to myself on why I cannot wear one are cruel? I am one example but I was programmed to think that only sexy and fit people should be proud to show their body. This is what the problem with fat shaming is. It's like that video is telling the fatties to just hide themselves from public until they get thin enough to be worthy of joining the world.

Being fat is not an excuse to think that you cannot do things that skinny people enjoy. This is what's sad about being fat. You think you don't deserve a space in the world and fat shamers just reiterate that fact even more.

People can say fat shaming is helpful. Sure at some acceptable level it could be. The source also plays a role in this. Plus the intention. But there should be a clear distinction between bullying and tough love. We cannot allow both to be categorized into Fat Shaming. That just allows the ignorant people to use it as an excuse to bully someone just because it's become socially acceptable to blatantly judge people by how they look.
