I’ve heard countless times that the diet industry preys off of insecurities. Recently, I was told via a tweet that “fatphobia” killed someone’s friend because the friend had a weight loss surgery go bad and died as a result. The whole concept here is that there is a “thin culture” and “health obsession” in many societies today that make people feel inadequate in order to gain money. After all, if you are always promised weight loss because you’re always convinced you’re obese, you’re likely to pay for it. “Big Diet” profits, you feel shame, only the bad guys win.

But then there’s the other side.

I was introduced to this video by Jes Baker thanks to a Reddit post. In this video, she explains she has quit her job and wants you to fund her lifestyle in order for her to produce more blogs and go talk to people about body acceptance. She is not alone. There are many, many people who profit and attempt to profit off of the obese…but not by promising them fitness, but by promising them love. Instead of saying, “You look like shit, you need to buy my product to diet” they instead say, “You are beautiful, buy my product to tell you more about how beautiful you are.”

They’re still preying on your insecurities.

They’re still pretending to be on your side. The diet industry just wants to help you…for a fee. The fat acceptance movement just wants to pat you on the back…for a fee.

And here you are, still stuck in a body that’s more likely to get cancer. You’re spending loads of money on fatshion-friendly clothes so they can profit while you, just by existing at your weight, are at a higher risk for diabetes. For hypertension. The back pain you experience isn’t due to your special-made double-wide fatshion shoes, but due to your weight. They lie to you about the obesity paradox because it conveniently fits their selling point.

Is this really what you want?

Do you want to be told you’re perfect, you’re healthy, you’re fantastic just the way you are? Do you want to be told you’re ugly, disgusting, and repeatedly have your doctor order you to lose weight?

Or…do you want to say “Fuck that, I just want to be healthy”?

If you want this option, the sane option, you can choose it. You can choose it for free.

100% free. Always.

All you have to do is contact me. This blog post will tell you more about it. That link takes you to another post here on my blog to tell you what I provide, what I need from you, and some questions to give us a starting point. There’s no payment or anything, I just don’t want to make this entry too wordy so I’m linking to a previous blog post I made.

There is no gimmick. I do not work for any fitness or supplement company. This is not a “first consultation free, then pay me later.” I quit my job as a personal trainer at a gym because I hated charging people for what I felt should be free. I quit to be a personal trainer for free. I quit to help people because some people need help, and that’s okay.

I will text you, I will Skype you, I will email you. Whatever you need. Just read a little more here (same link as above) so you know what to expect from me and what I expect from you.

If you like what I’m doing, reblog this. Print this shit out. Post it around your campus, around your city. If you’re a trainer willing to work for free, please contact me so we can do this together.

Fuck those assholes trying to make money off your insecurities.
