I've noticed that "former fat people" are much worse with the fat shaming than naturally thin people. Is it possible for someone to lose weight without becoming a total arsehole?

Usually that kind of hate is reactionary. They’re desperate to validate the privation of dieting. I pity them, because I remember being there, always sizing myself up against my former fat self and other people around me. Even though gaining thin privilege was a trip (passing can be a trip) it wasn’t worth what you have to do to yourself, and how you have to start viewing other people (sizing them up against your fucked up measure). But that’s my perspective.
