It figures…oops no pun intended there, well OK, maybe a little.

The “fat chicks are people too” movement INSIST on missing the point that the reason the general public finds the appearance of overweight individuals repulsive is because of the myriad of physiological and PSYCHOLOGICAL health problems usually associated with obesity. Excluding the microscopic 2% who actually have a thyroid condition, the problem is a complete lack of self-control. Look at the babies and small children out there. Already have bodyfat percentages WELL about 30, I see young kids being bottle fed Pepsi and other high calorie, high sugar soft drinks along with snacking ALL day long, and I mean ALL day long. There is basically no exercise at all.
Instead of barking back at the outcry at this catastrophic epidemic America has on its hands, these people need to realize that if they want to be part of the solution instead of the problem, they need to accept responsibility for who and what they are. All journeys to the destination of personal growth begin with that.

I’m fat. I’m unhealthy. I eat at Jack in the Box, Carl’s Jr. (Hardees) and Mc Donalds. But I’m wealthy. I am not on ANY government support and if I were to get a heart attack, my checking account will pay for ALL expenses. These fat broads, tubbies, heffers, pigs, hogs, sows, cows, etc., are a heart attack waiting to happen and guess what, I’m going to have to pay for your health?
Fat Chick Authoratrix Jennifer Weiner & “Facts of Life’s” Mindy Cohn have better be wealthy, because, I am sick and tired of fatasses who eat all day and not work for a living. Guys who are fat? Guess what, their insurance is paid by them working
And you lardass broads, if you’e offended, take the GODDAMN FORK OUT OF YOUR MOUTH! And look as hot as Debbie
Thank you

I do agree that this “I’m fat and I’m proud” ideology is not healthy if it is used as an excuse to stay unhealthy. BUT I do think that for those that are obese or overweight, this thinking can be helpful in accepting where they are at the moment, but still recognizing they need to change their lifestyle in order to be healthy. If you are stuck in a pit of low-self esteem, you will not be able to out of the hole. We need to help people change their eating and exercise habits at different levels—health community, education in schools, and even governmental programs.
Another thing that annoys me about this fat and proud thing is the proclamation that obese/overweight girls are “curvy.” I mean seriously people? I’m curvy (in the right places) and a healthy weight so it’s like “really?” That’s just a pet peeve haha, but yeah we should treat everyone with respect, help them find the resources to make this lifestyle change, and they should still feel good about themselves—no one should be only defined by their physical state.

Words are a tool and the way you are using them is incredibly negative. Maybe try spreading positivity out into the internet.
