It might help some people, but a lot of people are emotional eaters and that wouldn't be helpful to people like that.



Feeling the shame already

No, its an attempt by bleeding heart liberals to create a "fat acceptance movement". Thats what they call themselves. They want to relieve the social pressure and shaming they experience, not fight against "piling on more"
I support shaming addicts and tubbies because its constructive and provides the impetus for self improvement. I support medicating and operating on physical ailments, too.
I don't support a doctor lopping off someones arm willy nilly when they come in for a cold or proscribing them a regimen of cyanide any more than I support harassing and hounding fatties until they kill themselves.

We create positive social pressure when our role models are fit, when 'sexy' promotes a healthy lifestyle. Thats evolutionary motivation working for the better, good for it.
When a bunch of whales try to subvert social norms by saying we must accept fat models and create safe spaces where fatties can't have their feeling hurt and live in bubbles- thats doing harm.

I'm particularly fond of the ThInnerBeauty / Project Harpoon movement that developed in reaction to fat-acceptance pressure on the video games industry. It shows how social pressure and shaming can be a force to inspire and promote healthy living.

...yes , my morbidly obese friend had an emotional disorder in regard to his relationship with food as do most , if not all , morbidly obese obese people excluding those with underlying physical food processing disorders . This should not be a surprise to any educated person in the 21st century .

cancer isn't a mental disease you can will away. Obesity and addiction are both mental and physical.
Getting your ass off a sofa, going outside and eating less fried foods is all it takes to solve 75% of the health problems in america today

...the " fat acceptance movement " comes and goes over time throughout our history . Obesity was once a sign of wealth and position and of course the Rubenesque female form was once the ideal .

Man the harpoons!



Id be interested to compare the myer briggs to astrology. Your horoscope already says that about you.

...trying to use will power to overcome addiction is the same as trying to use it to stop a bad case of the runs .

...when you're reasons to get married sound like a GEICO commercial you are definitely not

your suggesting that all morbidly obese people have an emotional disorder is trying to imply that all obese people have an emotional disorder which is actually trying to put the blame solely on the individual and is totally trying to shame them which you said is wrong. You're just a ball of hypocrisy hiding behind the bible.

there can be a happy medium where we don't have to overtly shame them but also we don't have to accept them being "loud and proud" about their bodies.
