I’m convinced that “mindful eating” to them means “thinking about food even while eating.” Stuffing 5,000 calories into your mouth per day of processed food-like products is the complete opposite of truly mindful eating.
I’m addition, when you’re a huge, disgusting fatass, there is nothing to celebrate, because your body cannot do anything. Okay, so you think waddling on the treadmill for 10 minutes “celebrates” what your body can “do?”
How about eating less and stop trying to convince us that you’re some badass super athlete, and not the complete waste of space that you really are.
PS: we already know you’re an unhealthy sack of shit because we have eyes— you don’t need to show proof of your “health” because it doesn’t exist. This post just affirms why I hate fat people.

Yes. Normal people don't need to "celebrate" what our bodies can do, because they just do those things without much effort. I don't walk to "celebrate" that I am capable of putting one foot in front of the other. I don't "celebrate" being able to walk up stairs. The very idea of needing to "celebrate" that, by definition, assumes infirmity as a starting point or default.
I am pleased and proud when I can lift something some might not be able to lift--I picked up my 15-y-o daughter yesterday, and she is two inches taller than me and outweighs me by ten pounds (granted, I couldn't lift her for long, but still)--or run with my dog farther than I could before without getting especially out of breath, or whatever, but I'm not "celebrating" that my body can do that, I'm simply being pleased that I'm not a fat fuck. I can't speak for my friends here who lift and work out seriously, but I imagine it's the same: you celebrate when you reach a goal, but simply being able to lift ten pounds is not something to celebrate, it's a default position.

Right?! I love food. But it's an appreciation that comes along with knowing the ingredients in the things I'm eating. Appreciating all the life, all the death that came from getting the ingredients together. It's the past where I was tweaking recipes and trying this or that thing. Teaching and learning aspects related to cooking and preparing it. The balance of vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber. And evil as it makes us the (gasp) calories.
Which isn't to say that one has to make a meal to appreciate it. But 'someone' needs to have made it. Not something, but someone. You can't be mindful of something that came from a black box system. Appreciative, sure. But not mindful. Mindful appreciation can come from faith in the person making a meal and their dedication to doing right by the people they're making it for. But that doesn't hold with corporations or something made at an assembly line. Being mindful of a meal means that someone, somewhere, must have been mindful of its preparation too.
