Yeah it's awful. The norm should be a small or medium build such as Sissy Spacek from when she was in Carrie, or Chloe Graze Moretz. I look around in my locker rooms and I'm utterly disappointed by the lack of normal girls. They all think it's normal to have muffin tops or fat on their stomachs. You used to be ridiculed for that kind of stuff in elementary and middle school. What's even worse is that these girls are even seen as popular like this. I miss the good ol days when only humans were popular and it wasn't natural to weight 10+ pounds your normal weight.

As a teenager I had a 22.9 BMI and I remember my best friend shitlording me often. My grandma told me I was getting chunky, my boyfriend said I was the biggest girl he'd ever gone out with. Half a lifetime later that's practically a hate crime. Clearly all this "let's not talk about it" nonsense is working out for everyone. I seriously wonder if I'll have CPS called on me by the time my kids are grown just for not being obese.

My kids are younger (2 & 4), but my rule is going to be that they have to do at least 1 physical extracurricular activity. We're starting with my son this year and my daughter next year. It can be an activity of their choosing - dance, martial arts, soccer, t-ball, whatever! - as long as it's something that gets them moving! (And they must finish the season of whatever they start, no quitting halfway through.)
"No quitting halfway through" and "activity of their choosing" omg so much this. My fat mom threw me into like 6 different sports / classes when I was a kid and like "gee I didn't choose this and you don't even care if I do any progress." I hope to be more like you as a mom one day in the future. (I'm 22.)

Omg that is so great. A) giving them a wide variety of choices makes it seem like a hobby rather than a chore; B) they're so young that once they get used to the regularity/habit, they'll learn to love it on their own; and c) I assume that you mean if they don't complete the season they'll have to start from scratch the next year - worst case they regret their decision, but 90% of the time active kids want to continue in sports, so they'd migrate to another. Best case they become addicted and become regular little shitlords! :)

People just put their kids in front of screens with food 24/7 these days. The only interactions they have with them are taking/picking them up from school if they don't ride the bus or walk (walking when fat lol) or any "activity" that will allow them to get food such as going to Target/Walmart or going out to eat. I always feel bad seeing fat kids and looking at their parents knowing they will be like them. Feeding your kids shit food and too much food is fucking child abuse. Starving, beating, neglect, drug and alcohol are all abuse but when it comes to obesity everyone turns a blind eye. It's sickening.
I fast too sometimes. It's a trigger word for fatties. You're not only telling them you're making an effort to not eat but that you are also practicing self control, which is something they lack. Lol at "Why I do stuff like that" Bitch you know damn well why she does it. SO SHES NOT AFAT ASSS LIKE YOU LOLOLOL

Definitely agree on the contact part. Parents don't have excuses anymore as fewer people are smoking and drinking around their kids. My parents were pretty bad with alcohol when I was a kid and never spent time with them. Now as I'm getting older my mom has been trying to make it up to me. She went to rehab when I was 10 and she has been a completely better mom for 5 years

I feel bad for my older siblings because the dad they remember needed to be picked up because he was drunk again. By the time I came along he was sober. One of my siblings is an alcoholic, I don't doubt it started with my dad's example. I hate fat people but I hate them more for being liars. Fat people used to have to own up to their shit because everyone knew better. Somebody would've said something if they were off feeding them cake all day. Now everyone is fat, so let's just forget to ever bother eating a vegetable?

There's no excuse for anything anymore. We have an infinite amount of information at our fingertips 24/7 and things like fat people still exist. It's down right embarrassing that there's so many fat fucks this day and age when you can just look up shit like "daily calorie intake" or some shit and get the answer instantly. On a side note, good for your mom. It's never to late to change and be a better person.
