I used to think like that until I gained 20lbs after having a baby. Then I realized that it doesn't even matter. I wasted so much time stressing over my imperfections, and it doesn't even matter. I get hit on the same amount at both weights as long as I'm confident and nice. Now I'm confident because I accomplish shit, my kid is awesome, I have my shit together. That's a much better feeling than working out 6 times a week and still feeling not good enough because I had a tiny bit of fat on my stomach. I'm not saying people should stop being healthy, but do your workout, eat things you like in moderation, and be happy with who you are. You'll be so much happier when you realize you're already good enough!
Delusion
Denial
tl;dr - just give up on life - it's less hard when you don't try
Haha, hilarious thread, OP.

That's not particularly unusual - there's a lot of weight that women need to put on to support the baby (not just the kid itself - amniotic fluid or whatever that is, etc).
But I'm pretty sure she meant like 'personally' gained 20lb - as in, weighed too much, welped out the kid, and was still 20lb more after. And in assuming didn't lose it after. Denial is denial - any flavor you like

If only there were some way to control your weight, maybe even control the amount of muscle you have as well, oh, only then could I return to that magical time in my life...

There's such a big difference between actual BDD and being a fatass. This is just a bunch of crying fatties. "Oh I wish I was a size 14 again". Fuck you (not YOU you, them) and your fake issues.

And we're the villians because we maintain that when you start to feel fat that you shouldn't just bathe in body positivity but should instead actually do something about it before you actually really do end up that way! These people all seem pretty miserable with how things ended up. Especially the one person who's insisting a bit too strongly that she looooovvveeeesss being a fat mom, who's getting hit on left and right. Which in itself was infuriating. It's such a selfish view of things. Too fat to keep up with your kid, but it doesn't matter cause dudes still want to fuck you and apparently that's the really important thing in life?
God, all of them which hinted at the worldview of the person behind the screen just seemed terrible in any number of ways. Especially the most common sentiment, that it's horrible if one isn't always 100% happy with themselves. You're not supposed to be! Nobody's perfect and you shouldn't be 100% happy with yourself if there's room to improve. That's how we become better people!

Double funny since I'm sure they're fat now AND at the shape they wish they were.
You know what I'd do if I were fat and wanted to not be fat? Stop being fat.

"Let's invent time travel!" Yeah it's a joke, but it goes to show how damn much these things go to avoid dieting and exercise.

But counting calories would involve numbers. And math is hard when you have fat clogging up your brain.
Actually, I remember reading a post from FPS back in it's better days detailing how excess blood sugar absolutely shreds your blood vessels. I like to imagine the reason most fats behave as if their brain is defective is that the beetus is literally eating away at their brain.

I was going to say that calorie counting isn't even needed as long as one is eating real food rather than junk food. Then I remembered the horrible things that people do to food in that subreddit. They can't even taste real food unless it's swimming in high calorie addatives and cheese.

And all acting like there's nothing to be done about it. It's been said a million times, but I swear reddit attracts the biggest losers. As in people who don't even try or think it's possible to strive for anything but last place in life. If you're not happy with life fucking do something about it! How do these people not realize that fairly basic aspect of life? It's just crazy.
