The Fat Acceptance Movement… Thoughts??

I don't agree with the ideals of the fat acceptance movement. There is nothing acceptable about not taking care of your body. However, I also don't agree with the weight of importance people put on their looks. I really don't even know how to reconcile the beliefs I have with regard to each of these topics.

Your looks do not determine your self-worth, they do not make you a good or bad person, and there is no correlation between being good looking and being a good person. I really hate that American society (and probably a lot of other similar regions) has placed such an emphasis on this notion that you're not worth it if you're not 'beautiful.'

So, in conclusion, it's not okay to preach fat acceptance, and it's important to learn to remove your feelings of self esteem from your physical body to some degree.
