Motivation or "hate speech"?

Also, my perception is that the OP does not personally think the things she stated in the OP. She was presenting two different ways of thinking about it and was actually being a little bit sarcastic when she said the negative things about the "fit mom" (LOL).

^^this was apparent I thought, but it seems to have been missed by the majority.

I think most people aren't actually responding to the OP (or even to responses to the OP). They're responding to a chain that started with a post that came right afterward the OP that - basically - called the fit mom in question (paraphrasing) "a heartless ***** who is too vain to spend time with her kids".

Thanks. Gotta love the lack of context when that happens

Classic MFP - discussion went off the rails before the end of page 1. :laugh:

Confession: I didn't even make it to the end of page one before I jumped in.

This is fluffy................and it is not normal body type. She is clearly overweight.

She's overweight and yet she's also absolutely normal and beautiful.
Normal distribution requires highs and lows. One does not have to be within some ideal limits.
It's a personal choice - I chose not to be overweight but she doesn't have extra arms or legs.

I am shaped the same way and its disgusting. She is still in the obese category...........not merely overweight. Yes, she has a pretty face.

I also get told that all the time...........you have a pretty face, but if you would lose some weight you would be stunningly beautiful.

I hope you find self love. There no need to be disgusted to work on self improvements. It's likely that disgust is actually counter productive. Of course, being comfortable with obesity is also counter productive to fitness and health, in general.


:flowerforyou:

I agree completely. I've lost a lot of weight. A LOT. I have a long way to go yet. But, I'm not disgusted by my current self just because I have a long way to go. Here is why I can't find my body disgusting:

It can deadlift 205lbs for reps.
It can climb mountainsides.
It can run on trails for hours, for miles.
It can scramble up sketchy hillsides, crawl under brush, and hunt out mushrooms.
It can jump off of cliffsides into beautiful mountain rivers.
It can love and be loved.

I really hope that you can find that sort of worth for yourself, and come to terms with your present body while working towards improvement, and feel pride and appreciation as you go :flowerforyou:

Be delusional if you want, but don't tell me fat is beautiful.

I'm partial to the more slender look myself, but what looks good to me doesn't look good to everyone. I won't tell you that you have to think fat is beautiful, but I will tell you that some people do find fat beautiful.

That's not surprising, to be honest. There are too many people (even on these forums) that tend to miss text sarcasm or/and look for reasons to get butthurt.

I have to say that the whine in this thread is going lovely with my Chardonnay

My cheese has lots of fat. And goes better with your wine.

Hum. Perhaps a little wine in exchange for your cheese, and we can both dip into the whine?

Thanks...the cheese is on the counter...

Being proud of a good physique = fat shaming

Being proud of a **** physique = body acceptance

Most people can probably never look like her, because they have more important things to do in their lives.

It takes an hour a day. Anybody who wants to, can.

Sure, so long as they have the right genes. This is the biggest lie of the health and fitness industry. If you don't have the genetics to look like a fitness model, you won't.

Of course, there is always plastic surgery.

(Checking this thread between sets in my hour (or so) workout...that thought made me laugh.)

I will never look like a model/fitness model, but I don't think that was ever Kang's point. There is a lot of room between morbidly obese and model. There are enormous health benefits in moving from obese to not-obese, even if you don't accidentally wake up as a model one day. There are also enormous health benefits in moving from inactive not-obese to active not-obese. I still think this was her (and most people arguing in her defense's) points.

Mr_Knight

I don't know what constitutes a "fitness model", so I won't take issue with your point directly. But I am quite confident that the vast majority of people would, with an intelligent diet and an hour a day of real exercise, look freakin' *great*, whether they achieved "fitness model" status or not.
