"Wouldn't going on a diet just be easier?" She asks, replying to the question every sane person who has born witness to her mental gymnastics has voiced, and then follows it with her own reply. "Would you ask that of a thin person recovering from anorexia?"
The answer is yes. And yes. Both are terribly unhealthy and the correct diet is essential in the return to health of both groups.
And who could be SO CRUEL (her caps) to suggest that anyone knows best about someone else's body...
Assuming that's the case, why bother having doctors at all? Let's retire the medical community and follow our gut instincts about how to fight cancer. Or obesity.
She then enlightens us with the fact that people are fat for a million reasons. Now I am really hoping she's informed the medical community so they can stop spouting their CICO nonsense.
And finally, I don't believe she was ever thin. Except as a child. No proof of this, her claim just smells funny.

It's so insane to me that all of these fat HAES accounts constantly claim they were once anorexic/bulimic and had disordered eating, but now that they're 300 pounds, everything is A-OK! Its obvious their disordered eating simply when to the opposite end of the spectrum; undereating to overeating. The problem ain't fixed.

Well this comment is interesting.
curvy.erica's profile picture curvy.erica Im 5’2 222lbs. Always been curvy but now actually overweight. Ive always been body positive and loved my bigger body and ive always been so confident and defended plus size bodies.... Until now. It no way shape or form am I trying to be disrespectful or offensive.. I’m saying this as honest as possible. I am NOT that big. I cant even fit into plus size clothes because I’m not big enough. So again Ive always been comfortable at this size and felt I was healthy and basically was. But a recent doctors visit 4 days ago said otherwise. I have PCOS and Insulin Resistance, which means I’m going to eventually have high blood sugar, type 2 diabetes, and possibly heart disease. PCOS is VERY common with overweight women, and its very manageable and not life threatening so most women don’t think twice about it. But my doctor said its just the TIP of the iceberg. Thats the beginning of the health issues you will DEFINITELY develop sooner or later. He said if I don’t lose some weight and eat better I will end up developing diabetes and more. Now i say this with no disrespect again, but I am a lot smaller than you are and a lot of the other plus size body advocates, and I am already developing health issues. So Its hard to believe that you and other plus size advocates have no health issues. Maybe yall just havent recently gotten checked I dont know. But you really cant be a bigger woman and not develop some kind of health problems. Its inevitable... So i feel like accepting a bigger body and being happy and content with it really isnt the best thing for your health long term. It honestly isnt 6d12 likesReply
It actually understands that if it doesn't do something, it will get the Beetus! It's amazing how the HAES crowd actually have been so brainwashed to not even accept that there are severe health consequences to obesity. Boggles my mind, such mass insanity.

She's talking about the inevitability of aging, and she's in her 30s. That's what gets me. The vast majority of people in their 30s are not struggling with a loss of mobility, a loss of quality of life. Hell, for a lot of us, our 30s are the best - it's when we finally move on from the crap of our 20s and really, to steal from Oprah, "living our best lives." A part of me would normally feel sympathy for somebody in their 30s dealing with a decline in health, but for her? Nope. She's done it to herself.
