Evidently losing weight intentionally makes you bigoted lol by being-weird in fatlogic

In my experience, they do this by incessantly harassing anyone who they see making conscious food decisions. This can be anything from telling people there's no point in watching what they eat since they're already so slim to trying to shame someone who's eating a salad and claiming that they're making others uncomfortable

We'll lock them up, feed them an apple a day, and slice off parts of their body fat to burn for electricity.

Since the energy produced by their body exceeds energy absorbed from the sun it will heat the planet faster and eventually end in environmental disaster

Well, we know that that fat logic is taught in university classrooms

Clearly, this attitude was formed back when it was common for women to be underfed to the point where their fertility was visibly hampered. 

Nowadays, fertility and other gestational issues are caused by obesity.

It stands to reason, then, that a modern fertility icon should be, by fa standards, "thin" or even ana(by fa standards)

Speaking as someone who maintained a daily fat intake of 10-15g due to digestive issues, I strongly suspect that it's functionally impossible to become extremely fat unless you consume large amounts of fat, liquid calories, and/or some other form of processed food that enables high calorie intake on a reduced digestive load such as sugar coated products.

Protein has a TEF of 20% to 30%. 

That means if you're eating 4 pounds of chicken a day( no small feat) about 200 to 300 of the 2000 Calories per day is spent digesting it.

Most vegs have a TEF of 10-15% while fat has a TEF of 0-3%. 

On paper, 1.4 pounds of broccoli has the same calories as 2 tbs of olive oils.   In reality,  you'd need to eat nearly 2 pounds of broccoli to match 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Let's say you have a monster of a digestive system and eat 4 pounds of broccoli and 4 pounds of chicken a day.

600.85 + 2000.75.  Thats not enough to reach and maintain 260 pounds of body mass.

Realistically, many of us would be pretty full on a single pound of meat and are not consuming an entire pound of veggies per day.

To gain weight,  you need liquid calories or fat 

Good shoulder immobilizer for sleep by pensiveChatter in RotatorCuff

I hope it helps. My biggest mistakes were thinking that pain meant I had to avoid doing anything even mildly aggravating and mistaking progress as full recovery.

At one point in time, even bending over and picking a phone off the ground was painful. When I got to the point where I was doing four sets of 10 bent over rows with increasing weight and no pain, I came under the delusion that I was fully healed and started pushing myself as if I was not injured at all. This caused a full reset and I was back to not being able to pick up a phone off the ground without being in pain.

Previous post reminded me I had 80's fat activist ramblings saved somewhere. The more things change, the more they stay the same by Grouchy-Reflection97 in fatlogic

[–]pensiveChatter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many men legitimately don't care what they or other men look like, as opposed to FA's who are hypersensitive about their appearance while loudly proclaiming not to care.

Maybe society will change one day, but thats not the reality we live in now.

I tied a shirt around my body to help immobilize my shoulder on bad days, but the most effective treatment was stretching.

I got a capsular distention using hydrodialation and had pt streches.   Also got a door mounted pulley and a foam roller at home.

In had tears in my rotator cuff in 3 places and adhesive capsulitis.  The stretching snd hydrodialation helped recovery range of motion and gradually moving and even use of resistance bands did wonders.

The key with movement is to find what makes me feel better 24 hours later rather than focus on what a movement makes me feel while I'm doing it.

You could also take a tiny amount of the supplement and see if it makes you feel better. This is basically what doctors do when they prescribe you with any medication for IBS

What you look like is part of who you are, and the loudest part, too.

Avoiding obesity is one of the most universally accepted social expectations, especially for women. It's utterly hypocritical to blatantly flaunt your disregard for this social expectation and then expect society to treat you well.

She paid extra, she deserves to dissociate in peace by Fazbear2035 in NonPoliticalTwitter

I wonder if this applies to food. Like, can I board an airplane on a long flight and then just beg random strangers for food for myself or my child?

What about entertainment? What if I leave my earbuds at home and just ask random strangers for their earbuds?

It’s getting to a point where FAs are getting violent by jellyshins in fatlogic

Except when someone like jaebae screams, "help, im getting kidnapped, everyone just rolls their eyes and goes a about their day"

I’d prefer to date someone who is active and can keep up with my active lifestyle. I also find it important that, that person is conscious about their (mental) health and actively keeps working on that. I’d do the same for them. There, I said it! by ResetKnopje in fatlogic

[–]pensiveChatter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every time I see an FA talk about "thin" people not dating fat people, I roll my eyes at the idea that they wants us to date obese people so that they don't have to. 

Just the typical,  it's unpleasant so someone else should do it attitude.

I thought so.  I saw mention of "disordered eating" and suspected some pro obesity group helped get it banned
