I would say a person who has made such declarations as you set forth is suffering from a form of the Dunning Kruger effect. While this isn't 'skills' per se, a fatty's ability to convince themselves that they have made good choices, nay, better choices than experts (the fit), leads me to believe they suffer from a form of this effect.

I'm not sure if it's dunning Kruger (but let's face it, the fats by and large (teehee) are the stupidest and thus the loudest) but they DEFINITELY provide perfect, textbook examples of all the cognitive distortions and defense mechanisms since it takes an intricate web of lies and self delusion to even accomplish what OP described.

My theory is they wear all that shit like a mask. It's like a cancer pt putting on a wig; they do it to salvage some of their self esteem from their illness and maintain a sense of normalcy.
Of course, being a fat is a mental illness. No disrespect to anyone who has/had cancer.

Obesity is better than cancer. I lost a relative to cancer, he did everything he could to fight it. If he could choose, he'd pick a disease that can be cured by eating less and move more, without batting an eye.

I think a major difference too is that cancer patients often wear wigs that look like their normal hair and do so because they don't want to draw attention to their illness. Fatasses thrive on attention, even negative attention (which is the only kind they can attract), so they flaunt their illness anytime, anywhere like some fucked up badge of failure.
Making it one step closer to saying "discriminations!" And being able to get away with more, be even lazier, and have the government pay for their beetus snacks and way of living.
That was the 3rd part of the plan right? Get everyone else to pay for them while they indulge their every whim?

Nope. I'm an extremely calculating and objective person. Long story short, parents are super "knee-jerk", so I taught myself to make decisions very objectively. I would do just that, spend a few days or weeks saying that I'm hot, HAES HAES HAES, then I'd realize that saying I'm hot doesn't give me a flat stomach, it doesn't make me stronger, it doesn't make me fit into jeans that I want to, it doesn't give me muscle mass, and it doesn't make me healthy. So I'd see that it's all complete fucking horse shit and I'd pray at the iron church 6 days a week. That's all extremely hypothetical, because, I WOULD NEVER BE A FATASS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Yep. My motto throughout my life has been, "Don't get fat in the first place." If you never get fat to begin with, you never have to deal with "going on a diet", losing weight and keeping it off, etc. Just don't get fat and you'll be spared all manners of discomfort.

Rhetorical because I know the answer.
What they achieve is preserved fee-fees and permission to continue their gluttony.

I wouldn't call that miserable state "happiness". Complacency maybe.

I like to think this whole body positive fat acceptance shenanighans bs was started by some tumblirina whale out in California.
My solution: Wait until California secedes from the USA. Then put a fucking fence around California. We don't need a fence on the Mexico border... Just California.

Be careful what you wish for. We (California) are one of the shitlordiest of states. Ditch us and the US just gets fatter. http://stateofobesity.org/adult-obesity/
*It is "secede," not "succeed." We are already "succeeding."

yeah good catch, autocorrect is a bitch. succeeding at self imploding, yes you are in comiefornia. I'm okay with that, I would take all the fats in the world if it meant goodbye to that shit-hole of a state and to never have to look at that conniving witch Feinstein again..
I'll take that, or the california underwater scenario. I'm okay with either option. Please flush it all away along with the gun toting hip gangster wannabee's ;)
