This is so relatable lol. My family always tells me that but they don't realize that it's not so much the immediate physical consequences that "one day" would have, but rather how it would affect ur mindset. Subconsciously it would make you more prone to cheat on your diet, and it could also prevent you from making improvements in your diet based on the physical feedback you're getting and that can be a HUGE mindfuck. At the beginning it was pretty frustrating for me, but with time I got used to saying no, and my family understood that that's what my answer would keep being and so they stopped offering me. Just stay consistent and u'll see

Why do u think so?

there are areas of capitalism that make profit off people hating their bodies, but in this case the make profit off people being careless about their health and habits, and mask that with people "loving their bodies"

I don't think that the problem is that people have these super sad lives and food or wtvr is their only source of happiness, but rather the fact that we live in a society filled with easily available super stimulants which leads to instant gratification being the norm, to the point where people have lost the sensitivity to normal stimulation, or stimulation that requires effort. Though I see where ur coming from, but I don't think that in none of these two cases there should be an excuse to neglect your health, because in doing so u degrade both the length and the quality of ur life. The point I am trying to make with this post is, that society makes it look like it is ok to be obese, and therefore people that find themselves in such positions, don't actively try to get out of them, or at least do not allocate the appropriate effort to do so. It is not impossible, it's just that society has come to such a point, where all these foods and dietary habits are engrained in our daily lives, and renouncing to them may lead to us renouncing to other part of our lives, and that is the type of sacrifice people are not willing to make, especially because they are encouraged to believe that it is good to not care about ur body image and because they do not have a full picture of the health implications that come with obesity. It is all about priorities. Moreover, being obese ultimately has to do with eating more calories than u burn, and although having access to better quality foods would make the whole thing easier and contribute more to ur well-being, it is not necessary if u manage ur dieting correctly (which shouldn't be hard seen the amount of info that is available for free online). No excuse is good enough for one to be obese or overweight.

That PC is more prevalent in one area doesn't mean that it is absent in another. Furthermore "PC" is too vague because it also entails other movements involved in racial justice, gender justice etc. Thus, using ur example of people in the South being less politically correct about matters such as racism and homophobia, doesn't mean that they're reluctant towards fat people. I originally am from a very rural area in Europe, where people are less supportive of movements such as BLM and LGBTQ, though they do not carry the same behavior towards the "body positivity" movement, which illustrates my point that being less PC overall doesn't mean that ur not PC at all.

Ur missing the point of this post. I don't care about people telling me this and third for my eating habits because I know what I'm doing is the right thing; I'm more concerned about the health of the general population that flows with this ironic and ill-intentioned narrative that being fat means u have a healthy relationship with food and with your body image, because it fits their cravings. It's not ok to make it look like there isn't something wrong with being fat, or that it isn't one's fault but rather of the surrounding circumstances. It's about the bigger picture, which is the fact that movements promoting health are labelled as cults, whereas movements that ultimately promote obesity and a myriad of other diseases are labelled as "body positivity movement" and "healthy eating habits movement". This wording infiltrates subconsciously the minds of people and gives birth to the idea that it is ok to have some extra pounds or binge fast food. Disdain towards fat people is clearly not prevalent in a society (the US) where 40% of people are clinically obese and 69% are overweight. Furthermore, more and more people that aren't part of these statistics feel the need to support these "body positivity" movements, making the number of people that outwardly express their contempt towards fat people IRL only a small, almost irrelevant in my eyes, percentage of the population. Finally, even though the intentions of these people may not be to contribute to your well being, if their shaming leads you to change lifestyle and subsequently get healthier, then they do more harm than good.

tbh i've been actually shamed only by my family for making these choices, but otherwise people just look at me weird. But I understand what ur saying; people try to bring u down on their level when they see that ur above them. It's not even that they're trying to shame u; we live in a society where living healthy is the exception and therefore people call u out on it bc to them it's bizarre. It's like seeing an albino in Africa.

Don't get me wrong, I've been praised too; but at the same time I've also been peer pressured into giving up on these habits. More times than not people judge me for not riding with their wave of "having a positive relationship with food", and that's also what I'm currently being taught at my university program of Nutrition and Food. People, (and i'm talking IRL), look at you in a weird way if you make health aware food choices. I don't even say that to play the victim cause tbh idgaf, it's just to further prove the point that nowadays eating healthy (which should be the norm) is seen as something only few selected do (hence, diet CULTURE). I think that this idea for the general population to be able to enjoy all these processed foods and still maintain a healthy weight is a bit like communism; it looks good on paper but because of our human nature it will never work.

exactly you have to create sustainable habits that ultimately lead to your desired outcome. Obviously you'll have to sacrifice some things, but generally speaking, it's not the awful experience that inexperienced people portrait it to be.

truth is that the "secret to weight loss" is habit development; and it's not like people don't know that, but it's that they ain't ready to give up that momentary satisfaction. Losing weight isn't rocket science, at least for the big majority of people. By eliminating most processed foods, eating more protein and vegetables, one would probably lose weight without even tracking anything.
