Fat Acceptance
Posted: Mon Jul 11, 2016 12:22 am
Before I start, lemme just make it clear that I do not hate fat people just for being fat. Okay, on with the topic.
I recall a few years ago, I was driving around in the car with my Dad, and we got into a conversation about losing weight. He says that with his new exercise routines and him cutting back on sugars, he went from 190 pounds to about 179 pounds. We then talked about obesity and how about a third of Americans are obese. I coincidentally read a few articles from people about how they are accepting of themselves as being fat, so I told my Dad about that and told him that maybe that's the reason why so many Americans are obese; they just stopped caring about losing weight.
I actually have a link to 2 of the articles I said I read. They are archived here:

To be honest, I don't know why anyone would be accepting of being fat. I guess they just give up and give in. Where do they get the mentality "Eh, why bother losing weight?", and to be honest it genuinely makes me feel bad for them. I guess they just don't want to bother with losing weight, since it requires a proper diet and going to the gym, and eating junk food and binge watching movies is more rewarding. Now see I'm young: I have a high metabolism so I don't have to work out as much and I can eat slightly more casually. But these people are fully grown adults. Are they that lazy to take some free time to hit the gym, or at least not sit in one spot for 8 hours a day? You can get better; you have have to put an effort towards it. It doesn't have to be overnight; you don't have to switch to vegan the next day (even though that'd be preferred
) and you don't have to hit the gym for 5 hours the next day. Take it slow; slowly change into a reliable diet, and go for 1 hour the first month, 2 the next, and then max that out at 3. Now if you don't have time, you have to at least have some time to change diets.
Fat acceptance is one of the worst things ever conceived by modern society. Obesity, or even being overweight, is not healthy. Whatever made you think that I have no idea. Accepting that you're fat is horrendously degrading to yourself, because you're just saying to yourself: "I can't do it". I think you'd rather be skinny, so you can at least enjoy life a bit more.
Now look, to those who are obese and advocate fat acceptance; I don't feel hatred, rage, contempt, or even resentment towards you; I feel pity towards you.
