Trail running, especially up hills. The farther one gets from the parking lot, the fewer hams there are.

Also, rock climbing.

Trail running or ultra running. Fats even pretend to be anorexic now, so anorexia support groups aren't even safe.

Ugh fuck everything about that. Why aren't they IMMEDIATELY ejected from the meetings? They're basically mocking those with actual issues.

Because anorexics lack the muscle mass to do so?

In some (in my observation, very few) cases, people who have been diagnosed with anorexia "overcorrect" and eat far too much and overcome the physical mechanisms that protect most recovering anorexics from actually becoming overweight during or after the refeeding process. If you've ever experienced anorexia and refeeding, you might notice that you actually burn hotter for a long time - months and months - after reaching your threshold "healthy" weight. One way some people explain this is "metabolic abnormality" but I prefer to interpret it as your body burning as many calories as possible so it can repair the extensive damage done to necessary tissues over your prolonged caloric restriction. It's like construction companies needing more materials and labor after a hurricane than they would after a spring storm. It's even good to pad a bit on during the first year or two of recovery because your essential systems have been damaged, and any perturbation to your health could result in sudden collapse - and a few extra pounds are a buffer between life and death at that point. But others, people I suspect were incorrectly diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, just seem to either have serious BID and another mental illness not on the same axis, or be people who use sensation to deaden emotion and could have easily been bulimic or alcoholic or speed freaks as anorexic. Once they started to eat again, they begin using the sensation of overfullness as a drug instead of hunger. The thing is, they all had the diagnosis at one point and so all "belong" in the same group. I'm of the minority opinion that bulimia and anorexia do not belong in the same treatment groups, but it's cheaper to treat everyone who presents with eating anomolies as "eating disordered" rather than tease out individual experiences, motivations, and reward schemas. So, fats get into anorexia support groups, and fats who "think" they were anorexic because they tried to count calories for a few weeks and weasel their way into an EDNOS diagnosis jump right in so they can identify with a disease with a horrible recovery rate and prognosis.

Really? Anorexic support groups??? That's really low and pathetic!

But they must be anorexic! Every time they look in the mirror they see a fat person!

Skiing. Almost no fats on the slopes.

You'd be surprised. My brother in law is a big, fat thumb and (as much as it irritates the hell put of me) is a championship skier.

skiiing is quite the low effort sport at a basic level. If you want to get rid of fats, the sport must include going uphill, not downhill where gravity binds them!

I disagree. The snow-whale is far from an elusive beast.

Whatever you choose to do, do it early in the morning. There are not as many fats out in the early AM.

Rock climbling, fats physically can't climb, or kayaking, a lot of boats and canoes can't handle the load of fat people, the ones that can are for two people or prohibitively expensive.

Can confirm rock climbing as ultimate shitlord sport.

Tip for the online daters of voat, set up your first meetup at a rock gym. Fats won't even show up, and as an added bones you get a great excuse to checkout his/her ass.

I think you're right. I usually avoid them, but I got stuck sitting next one at the animal hospital. And the son of bitch stunk. STUNK! I have never experienced the "fat smell" before and it's disgusting. I couldn't breathe. WTH? I've never noticed this before. Maybe it's because summer is coming and it's worse.

How does someone (who is not a street person) go through life stinking? Even military personnel manage to clean themselves on the battlefield.

I know right! It sounds like we're joking when we say fat people literally stink, but we're not!!

Climb rocks or mountains. Trail runs could do as well.
