They aren't actually lecturing other people, they are trying to convince themselves.

If you are miserable because of your unhealthy body and as a result of the poor lifestyle habits that earned it, then yes, becoming thin will make you feel a lot better because in order to become thin you must undo the healthy habits and teach your body to become healthy. It's not rocket science. And while there are more important things than being "not fat" it really does rank fairly high on the list of priorities, given that the damage caused by obesity is compounded with age. I love how these types always make it a false choice between either being thin and fit or being happy and fulfilled. Like, golly gee, you really can't be both? I think they know you can be both and it pisses them off to see other women succeed where they have so far been failing. So they undermine. Those damn skinny bitches. They're shallow. They're vain! They're wasting their lives and only focused on their looks and what others think of them. They're insecure and that's why they run/do yoga/lift/eat healthy. Fuckin' diet culture and those shitty ass skinny bitches. eyeroll
She's right that you won't be more important or talented when you're thin. But you will probably be happier because you'll feel better, and you will definitely be more attractive and more "deserving" of that label.

Why do they think all normal people spend all their time "chasing thinness"? Can't the obeasts understand that the rest of us are living normal lives, being able to tie our shoes, wash our bodies all over in the shower, sit in regular-sized chairs, walk up a flight of stairs without getting breathless, climb a damned ladder to change a lightbulb and even enjoy our food? That's just everyday normal life for the non-obese, but they see it as an obsession. They don't get it because their gluttony keeps them hateful and jealous, making bitter excuses for their condition and prevents them from having any quality of life. I don't "diet". I don't need to because I don't eat 5,000 calories per day and just sit on my ass and complain about all those evil "skinnies" out there while yelling about "body positivity". They make me sick.

I had to go to the hardware store today to replace a part on my shower head. It's one of those hand held shower heads. The clerk, a young lad of maybe 18, just shook his head in surprise. I was curious so I asked. Apparently he'd never sold one of those to anyone under 300 pounds! 😅

The activities that I legitimately enjoy doing (running, going to the gym, climbing) are all just "chasing thinness", you know? Counting calories, something that takes maybe a few minutes of my time, is an awful imposition.

Everything important is better and more fulfilling if you're thin, except sumo wrestling.

I'm not even going to bother to explain why that is incorrect, because it should be common sense.

The only thing you need to give up to become thin is overeating. Yes, overeating, not eating, and then you gain so much else in life. For some people it's not even a sacrifice because they aren't addicted to overeating. If you want to get fit then you may have to put some more time into it but that's optional. Point is being thin is this free thing than adds so much to your life and the only thing you need to do to get it is to not be using food to boost your feel good chemicals in your brain. Only eat what your body needs, not to get a high.

Just one question though. Has she even been thin? I don't know what it's like to be fat but I suspect I'd be a lot more miserable in all categories listed lol

6 was scared of 7 bc 7 8 9 and then meganspoetry ate all the numbers.
[–] theepilepticferret 0 points 8 points 8 points (+8|-0) ago (edited ago)
But why did 7 eat 9?
Because he eats 3 square meals a day

Best joke I have seen in a awhile. It's a trifecta of a health joke, a math joke, and a dad joke.
