This picture really annoyed me.

Would you think it was "funny" if I suggested your prerogative is a product of being hungry? I mean, that's ok right? I am just making jokes about thin people stereotypes -- oh wait, you said things like that upset in your initial post. My point is that it's not ok to shame ANYONE because of their weight or size of shape -- you said that initially and them go on to post a comic that. I am just pointing out that if you don't like it done to you, don't do it to others. It's not about being able to "take a joke" it's about seeing hypocrisy and knowing the world would be a better place if NONE of existed, even in the jokes a un-funny comedians. The best comedy isn't about perpetuating stereotypes, it's about holding a harsh mirror up to those who stereotype and making THEM uncomfortable.

You suck at making jokes. Do us all a favor and don't do it.

Just a spectator who sees someone that got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, and wants everyone else to feel miserable because she feels miserable. If that's not you, then try to smile and actually be polite to people.

I hope nobody pays you to be a psychic.

Now that was actually funny! You're getting the hang of it!

Not done on a treadmill. TechoViking fail.

What bothers me is that the girl who is alone is labeled as lazy & gluttonous. But how do we know what her story is? This could be a progress pic, where she's come a long way toward a healthier lifestyle.

This is why I would not post pics of myself on the internet at this point. I'm busting my *kitten* to look better and feel better, and if someone were to make such assumptions about me, I'd have to hunt them down and do bad things to them.

For those of you who don't know who the "lazy, gluttonous" girl is or why she'd put a picture of herself in a bikini on the internet, here you go:

Her name is Stella Boonshoft, she has PCOS and writes a fat acceptance blog.

This picture annoys me. I can't make heads or tails of it.

This is the best thread I've ever made. YAY!

You don't even go here!!!

You made me angry. That's all. Sent you a message because I think it's gotten past the forums.

Wow, that was pretty terrible. It's a case of cheering on the underdog gone horribly wrong and of the common practice of underachievers tearing down achievers due to personal insecurity. It's a shame really.

Oh, and techno viking is awesome!

I know, right? It's like it brought everyone closer together. I can just FEEL the love.

Plus, placing her photo next to the fit couple makes it look like she advocates being unhealthy and not doing exercise. Fat acceptance isn't the same thing as being lazy, and her opinion on the athletic bodies may even be pretty positive...

Nor do we know the story of the other two - how hard they worked, what challenges they faced, what their motivation was or even if they were overweight previously.
It's not fun to work your *kitten* off, achieve something you really didn't think you could, to be proud of yourself and happy with your results then have people describe you as gross or tell you you look like a man (both of those have been said to me on this forum)

Regardless of where you are in your progress, you are going to be subject to negative comments.

It's not ok on either side.

That's awesome! Is it a photo from the front or the side...?

Well in my view you can't compare the top picture to the bottom picture. There are a few reasons.

1. Not everyone can have abs.

I am trying to get a flat stomach. It's hard. Hey at lest it's smaller than what it was!

2. the bottom picture of the girl isn't that bad. Nor is she obese in my view.

The girl has the same body type as me. If she would do a little extra work she would have muscle galore. Trouble spots would be her inner thighs and her stomach area.

She's right. She will never be "thin" but like me, she can and will get a good body. I wish her luck.
