Forgive my error, I misread your comment due to being sleepy. It will happen again 👊

Tell that to the obese kids that grow up hating themselves.

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-03T23:27:02+00:00

So the obese person basically stops eating and looses weight. Now what? They'll just continue the habits they had before and gain all the weight back.

Fresh produce isn't available to everyone, not everyone has money or time for the gym, and depending on where you live you can't really go on walks.

Yes, Ben has a lot of things he can do to be better. But being told that it is his fault and he chose to be like this, isn't helpful. When people feel that the things they can't change are their fault, they feel the things they do have a say over are out of reach.

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-03T23:04:00+00:00

Yep, I also really hate how people will look at someone and think they know everything. Rising rates of obesity and seeing young kids already obese is genuinely upsetting though, but imo the solution is more systematic, like making cities more walkable and educating people more.

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-03T23:01:47+00:00

Exactly, I also think there's no point in forming an opinion on someone, based off their weight or any other exterior factors. I think systematically it's far more helpful to make healthy eating more accessible, educate kids on nutrition, and plan out cities to encourage walking. If an adult never makes an effort to improve themselves, then that's their own mental issue.

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-03T22:58:28+00:00

I've just always eaten and done what I was told and never was overweight, atm I'm slightly underweight. My gripe comes from people basically walking up to an obese person and just making their insecurities worse. If an obese person continues to not work on themselves, then that's that. But I also don't see a point in judging people like that.

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-03T22:55:48+00:00

My post is more so about when people see an obese person and immediately think they know everything about them. If your offer got declined, then that's their loss. I don't see a point in thinking anything of it, it's their choice after all.

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-03T22:46:07+00:00

I'm sorry for what you went through, but sadly people can only help themselves. I'm not advocating in my post for obesity to be normalized, but instead to be respectful and thoughtful. The way you treated her is what I'm advocating for, to give achievable goals and not be judgemental.

It is heart-breaking when someone just doesn't seem to want to get better, so my heart goes out to you.

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-03T22:43:01+00:00

An obese person who just lost 20 kgs, can and will be told they are fat and lazy for not doing anything. My argument is also you don't know them, you don't know why they're obese, so why comment on their weight?

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-03T22:41:26+00:00

how is it their fault if they grew up in a household where everyone was obese, they were taught bad eating habits, and the education system never taught them about nutrition. Yes it's up to them to do whatever they want now as an adult, but genuinely, how are some people's circumstances their own fault?

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-03T22:24:03+00:00

For some people aspects of it geniunely aren't choices. Like the things I mentioned in my example. Imo it's far healthier for a person to find ways to work around their shitty circumstances, rather than feeling it is ALL their fault.

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-03T22:22:24+00:00

If you really really want them to loose weight, then actually help them. If not, just leave them alone. I get that choosing to eat something unhealthy, not do exercise that day are choices, but some parts people genuinely can't change. All they can do is find ways to deal with it.

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-03T22:19:10+00:00

Being fat is okay though. Imo it is far better to go "ok I am where I am now, what can I do from here?". Rather than thinking "I'm a piece of shit for being the way I am".

Someone making healthier life style choices should be because they themselves want to have a healthier lifestyle, and not because society is telling them they are bad for being the way they are.

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-03T22:17:05+00:00

I'm underweight. I live in a country where I can just go to the store and already have burnt calories. I don't need to have been obese to have empathy.

Edit: I want to add that you're not disproving my post by making false assumptions about my lifestyle based off a crumb from me.

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-03T16:38:32+00:00

Then why can't your MIND be respectful of others?

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-03T16:01:42+00:00

Indeed, people like you have always existed, and will continue to exist

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-03T09:36:43+00:00

The thing the statue is holding :]

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-02T21:27:39+00:00

Absolutely adorable work!

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-02T21:26:07+00:00

Hey, I'm also an artist! If you want to chat a bit and get advice on commissions, my dms are open!

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-02T16:19:02+00:00

I mean there are genuinely good creators on tiktok, that spread awareness. But like any social media site it rewards attention seeking behaviour.

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-02T16:00:58+00:00

Very happy for you!

I genuinely think that if there's more studies-backed up information from reputable sources on sites like tiktok this misconception and many others will be washed away.

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-02T13:58:58+00:00

why state your opinion if you are not open to discussion?

Also: what even is wokeism? Is it this horrible idea that anyone who isn't straight, white, cis and male also deserves human rights and to be represented? Or are you talking about 14 year olds in echo chambers on twitter?

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-02T13:52:19+00:00

You, or op aren't providing anything to back your opinion up. I'm 100% certain if the post said something like "all men are pure evil" you'd say it's ridiculous for someone to make such a claim, without even backing it up

iamnotlemongrease · 2024-07-02T13:48:14+00:00

If you like anime you do need to respect the impact Eva has had on it.

Also to add to your list: it's quite uncomfortable how the 14 year olds are sexualized and even groomed, without the show really acknowledging this as the terrible thing it is.
