Hating on Fat People Just Makes Them Fatter

Anectdotally it's true...
When I was in middle school and I got called a whale...I got fatter
When my Mom told me she that if she was as big as me she'd never be able to leave the house...I got fatter
When I was in high school and they made moo'ing noises at me...I got fatter
When my uncle called me a Sumo wrestler...I got fatter
When the same uncle told me no man would ever love me because they would be afraid I'd roll over onto them...I got fatter
When I was laughed at CeCe's pizza...I got fatter
When some man at a buffet told me how disgusting it was I was getting dessert...I got fatter
It wasnt until I discovered that my body was actually very attractive and seductive to men, and I started to want to learn how to love my self did the weight come off.
So from this fatties point of view yeah shaming just makes em' fatter.
I know this feeling very well. I think the biggest thing (at least for me) is learning coping skills. Learning to better occupy oneself, how to deal with stress. I'm no expert here, only having lost 2.4 lbs in my week journey since committing0 -
I'd have to agree with everyone in this post, from what I've read, including the OP. From a psychological standpoint it's been proven that SOME people will take discrimination and use it negatively. But there are too many factors involved in each individual to say that this article is 100% true - it depends on the person. Everyone handles things differently, whether it's weight, loss of a loved one, abuse, etc.
For anyone saying that this article is 100% right or 100% wrong is wrong, in my opinion. I DO believe both sides. It's about common sense, an open mind, and psychology.
Bottom line... don't be so quick to think you're 100% right.0 -
How is not being able to ride a roller coaster or sit comfortably on a plane discrimination? I am not allowed to enjoy the bouncy castle at our local street fair, because I am an adult. Am I being discriminated against? (Seriously, am I? Because if I have a case I am going to make those ****ers let me bounce!)0

Well I guess there goes that theory of calories and self control.0

In Japan fat people are discriminated and embarassed more than in other corners of the world. How is it that they are not all obese? Why are they thinner than most? Stop blaming others or fate or other immaginary reasons.0

Hi guys, don't mind me. I'm just here with some logic.

i have reported you to the proper authorities. the interwebz is no place for logic. go sell your brand of crazy elsewhere.
everyone is different. some people it could take a flippant comment such as, hey big tits (to a male friend) and they will get serious about losing weight while another person hears that comment and 5 years later they are having the side of their house cut out so the EMTs can take them to the hospital.
ive had people call me fat, porky, whale, fattso and a whole slew of names. you know what it did to me? nothing. i dont let what someone i do not know affect me.
what did make me want to change things around was a simple family picture from a years and a half ago.0 -
Oh boy, another article for people who are too lazy and/or uncaring about their health to fall back on instead of eating less and moving more. Victim mentality FTMFL.

I was abused as a child and my stepdad nicknamed me "Ms Piggy!". It took me till my late 30's and I am now 40 and thinner than I have been in my whole life. My mom even said I probably haven't wore these sizes since elementary school. How else do you interpret it if that's all you know and you cannot help who you are surrounded by when you are a child!0
