Looks

Find that attractive if you so desire but all I simply said is being fat does exists, contrary to your original post. If you say there's no such thing as being fat, it simply enables peoples poor behaviour which will ultimately lead to a premature death, but not before years of low(er) quality of life.
But sod that eh, live your life how you want it. Might just go drop out of uni, scrounge off my parents/the state and play games all day. Nothing and nobody else matters because that's what I want to do.

That is not the meaning of this post, the meaning is that too many people call people with weight problems names and I don't think its nice. They wouldn't like it/put up with it so why should everyone else?

So I'm posting this (hopefully its not considered as pointless by MODS) to tell people there is NO SUCH THING AS BEING 'fat' or 'ugly' or anything. You live your live how you want to live it! Flip everyone else, they don't know what its like to live in your shoes.

Anyway, if someone has a problem with how people view them, then it's on that person to change themselves (and for overweight people this isn't particularly difficult). The only time it becomes anything more than that is if it becomes actual harassment.

For some people though, it is a medical condition as to why they're putting on weight or not enough.

tbh i dont see the big deal in it like
your weight is just a tiny part of your personality/appearance

Ok this will sound weird but just bear with me a minute. Ugh this is gonna take a long time to write to try and get this to sound the way I mean it.

As a fat girl myself (like medically speaking there is no dispute that I can be anything but Overweight and there's a capital "O" these days apparently) I can't stand it when people tell me there's no such thing as being fat or any of the other bullshit they come up with. I am fat and I'm not proud of it but it's what I am and it's actually really frustrating when people try to deny a fact that's staring them right in the face.

I am actually a little bit offended when people tell me I'm not fat or I'm just being too harsh on myself because I take it to mean that they are just lying to me, or are using "fat" as a synonym for "ugly" - the two might be connected but they are not the same thing. I even have people (who genuinely mean well and actually almost all of these occasions have occurred on Habbo) who won't let me say I'm fat and just keep telling me I'm wrong about my own body weight every time? The whole reason I don't look fat in photos is partly because I hardly ever take photos but mostly because I'm really careful about the angles (my face doesn't look that fat, for example) I take pictures from and I'll take a handful before I find one that actually makes me look ok. Everyone does that in photographs to make themselves look better and, trust me, you do not know better than me about my own weight.

Luckily for me some of my closest friends irl are overweight as well and they're all pretty chill with it. It makes me feel so much better about myself when we can laugh and joke about weight rather than just ignore it and lie to ourselves by pretending we're not fat. Not mentioning the matter doesn't miraculously trick everyone into not noticing my weight, it just becomes the elephant in the room (pun not intended but I'm extremely pleased with it now that it's there).

SO although you mean well PLEASE stop telling me I'm not fat. For one thing, I am and there's no use in denying it. And secondly it doesn't solve the issue; not talking about it, lying about it or just generally getting really tumblr-y about it actually just creates more stigma and I think that makes it even worse. I believe the number one way to solve touchy issues is to get to a point where it's ok to joke about them - laughter makes everything easier (inspirational I know).

so yeah
thanks sorry for the rant

P.S I just want to point out that my post is purposely nothing to do with whether being fat is ok or not or why people get fat, just about how I think being PC about being fat actually does more harm than good.
P.P.S When I say "you" in this post I just mean people in general. It's not directed at anyone.

which i guess is kinda relevant here

your weight is just a tiny part of your personality/appearance
y

no sometimes it's the largest thing about u bad tum tish
but no really your weight can be a huge factor in your attractiveness and it goes both ways, many a time iv been told id be more attractive with weight on me and that men like curves n that's ok they don't have to fancy me

[dbgtz]

For some people though, it is a medical condition as to why they're putting on weight or not enough.

For example?

Also unrelated, but every time I see your name I read it as "fun is my meme". Just thought I'd share that since it makes me chuckle for some reason.
