I’m so sick of Fat Shaming

I’m not saying it’s not real, or doesn’t happen, or anything like that. But it seems like these days saying ANYTHING to a fat person (full disclosure, I am, in fact, a fatty) is considered “shaming."



Whatever happens, don’t ever point out the hundreds of medical studies showing that being obese is bad for you. (Likewise, it’s horrid to point out to smokers or alcoholics that those things kill you. What, you want smokers to feel bad? you might hurt their feelings)



Lately all it takes to bring about the internet rage of the self-insulating community is for a fit person to post a selfie. If all it takes for you to feel ashamed of yourself is to see someone in better shape than you, that’s YOUR problem. It’s not their fault you’re insecure. A nearly naked selfie might be narcissistic, but it is not (in and of itself) fat shaming.



Why the fuck can’t people just be happy for others who look good? Or, if seeing a scrawny bitch is all it takes to make you feel guilty/shamed, put down that second taco?

Losing weight isn’t magic. Being healthy *IS* fundamentally better than being unhealthy.



Suck it up princess.

… or should I say "cupcake”?
