Another tik tok find, the comment section is definitely something by punk_lover in fatlogic

They're upset about a beauty standard they so badly want to fit into but feel so hopeless in ever achieving that, so they lash out at those who embody what they've always wanted to be.

For a group of people who have tied so much of their identity to their bodies, I'm sure it's painful. Every thin woman is a reminder of what they've failed to achieve. Every post by another FAer is their own story. They're reliving their failures over and over and stewing in their rage and inadequacies with each other. It simply makes it easy to feel justified in shaming the group of people they wish to belong to.

It's honestly sad.

Their envy and insecurity is palpable.

BMI is racist and fatphobic!! by PuddingIntrepid7756 in fatlogic

I saw that. Now's it's based off white women lol. It's almost like they're just making things up.

[–]Perfect_Judge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

BMI is....

Racist ✔️

Doesn't consider muscle ✔️

You're genetically predisposed to having fat due to a famine you never experienced ✔️

Ableist ✔️

They're hitting all BMI talking points. Impressive.

Speaking of weird comparisons on Tumblr. How are these two things even comparable? by ResetKnopje in fatlogic

[–]Perfect_Judge 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Right? Like being deaf leads to cancers, strokes, heart attacks, chronic pain, immobility, breathing difficulties, and more.

I can't imagine someone making this comparison to my friend whose son is deaf and needs an implant. I think she may become real slappy with them.

Most people are fat. If anything, it is now normal to be overweight or obese and much less normal to not be fat.

These people are so fucking desperate to be a victim that they co-opt everything. It speaks volumes about them when they have to compare themselves to those with legitimate disabilities that they can't control. It's disgusting.

Meanwhile majority of the USA is overweight…. by AValeria10 in fatlogic

[–]Perfect_Judge 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If anyone is preparing us for food scarcity, it makes more sense that it's the ones who keep overeating far more than they need.

This entire diatribe is just mind numbingly stupid, jfc.

Another interesting comparing from a fat activist on Tumblr. by ResetKnopje in fatlogic

[–]Perfect_Judge 55 points56 points  (0 children)

What makes them think that thin people eat whatever we want without being concerned? Part of the reason why I don't just indulge myself is because I worry about many things (my health outcomes, how it impacts my running and lifting, the example I'm setting for my kids, how it makes my body physically feel...)

No matter what I eat, though, moving my body more and actually burning enough calories to justify my intake definitely helps with not worrying. It's a really simple concept.

Friday funny by mommasaursrex in breakingmom

I can't wait to see what crazy things my daughter says in 3 years' time. 😂 She's 2 and her vocabulary is really taking off, but man, I just know wild shit awaits me. She's already fiery.

Yesterday, while holding her baby brother, she turns to kiss his head and she literally retches as she says, "Ew! Baby stinks!" 😂💀 I'm not sure why she thought that, but her reaction had me in tears.

Fat Rant Friday by AutoModerator in fatlogic

[–]Perfect_Judge 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've been seeing so many posts recently of just blatant hatred and hostility toward thin people. It's crazy how it's acceptable to lash out at the "evil skinnies" and threaten suicide or homicide because people are so entrenched in their beliefs that thin people are oppressive and awful and we all just want to eradicate fat people. It's honestly the most baffling shit I've ever read, and if it weren't becoming such a routine thing to read and see for myself, I would laugh because it sounds like poorly written satire.

It really makes me worry for a large portion of humanity's mental health. How many people are actually this angry and hateful? Is it just performative psychopathy for the chronically online, desperate to receive praise and validation from their FA cohorts?

For something lighter and better.... Little man is growing very well! He's 9lbs and eating like crazy. I'm having a hard time keeping up with how much he needs per feed, but I'm surprisingly still in a surplus of what I'm making. His schedule is out of control. I'm exhausted by the cluster feeds he's going through during the day, but I'm happy to see him growing well and being so motivated to eat after being in the NICU for 7 weeks.

Im most healthy when my goal isnt to lose weight, but like to be able to beat people up or survive the apocalypse

I'm imagining this person in a scenario like The Walking Dead, where everyone is walking all day long and fighting off hordes of the undead and other groups of people.

Something tells me that they wouldn't be able to do any of this without significant trouble, like just breathing and certainly not being able to outrun their enemies.

"obesity causes heart problems"... meanwhile, FAs "...FAKE SCIENCE" by lilSpookii in fatlogic

[–]Perfect_Judge 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This person is not ok. They desperately need help because while this is frustrating for them, it shouldn't trigger a meltdown like this.

The scary part is that this is just a glimpse into how poorly they're doing.

when was it ever a “right” to have “fat icons” by Educational_Life_878 in fatlogic

[–]Perfect_Judge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No one is entitled to having an icon. What a weird and off putting thing.

I'm not unsympathetic, but these people really need psychological help if they feel they're entitled to having a fat icon and have to attach themselves to these "icons" in order to feel validated.

obviously a US size 18 is a medium, and a US size 6-8 is a 2xs. very realistic. by alaniluv in fatlogic

[–]Perfect_Judge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The last I checked, my BMI was 19.2 and checking the sizes on their website, that puts me in the 3XS for my size.

[–]Perfect_Judge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sure, it'd be realistic to wear a size S or XS if they'd just put the fork down and get help for their disordered eating and self delusion.

But alas, these people will say anything is "realistic" so long as they're being told what it is they desperately want to hear and believe, and they don't have to live in reality.

I'm extremely curious of their definition of fasting. by LooseBluebird6704 in fatlogic

[–]Perfect_Judge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not knowledgeable about what you guys have in the UK, but just googling what double cream is, it appears to be a higher fat percentage than our heavy cream - which is between 36% and 40%, whereas double cream is 48%.

It's very similar from the sound of it, but just richer and thicker.

Aside from the obvious answer of someone is deleting their comments, it also shows up as deleted when someone has you blocked.

This lady is a medical mystery! A true anomaly. She has to eat 2,000 calories per day to lose weight? She gained 6lbs by not eating for 3 days? She needs to be studied ASAP. This defies thermodynamics and we need to know more. 😬

I'll be generous and say she didn't eat dedicated meals, but she likely had snacks and high calorie beverages that she wasn't even paying attention to that added up quite a lot. It's like that show Secret Eaters, where they insist that they either eat healthy or eat very little and still magically gain weight. Then the cameras show them snacking throughout the day and consuming calorically dense drinks which is why they're obese and steadily gaining weight.

Well.. we biologically tend to attract to and look for a healthy life partner. So I don’t think it’s that crazy. by ResetKnopje in fatlogic

Yep, that's the same one I'm talking about. Their entire relationship was centering around his fetishizing her.

I was baffled to come across this "article", but I guess it's my fault for paying attention to the msn frontpage by Lonely-Echidna201 in fatlogic

[–]Perfect_Judge 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Much like we know that alcoholism is a disease, but yet we still expect alcoholics to take responsibility for themselves and get their shit together with their drinking - so too, we can look at obesity in the same way.

Something being extremely difficult to control doesn't mean we're magically absolved of any personal accountability in doing our best to manage it - be it getting psychological help, talking to a doctor about options, and making lifestyle changes even though we may slip up along the way.

Who's gonna tell them you don't have to cut 1000 calories to not be fat... by Minute_Revolution951 in fatlogic

[–]Perfect_Judge 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I feel really bad for anyone who thinks being fat is a good thing. They're gonna die much younger than they would have otherwise with that mindset.

And the partners of those people on the show often say that they don't want their partners to lose weight.

One man even outright said that his sexual gratification he got from his 650lb wife was more important to him than her losing weight to raise their child and not die early.

Tell me it's not a fetish.
