Well said love this one
THANKS!
Another "fat woman are beautiful" take? Yeah, okay.
Upvote to combat the fat acceptance downvotes
Lol thanks man
She said "fat people" in general. Common sense isn't strong with this one.
No, the focus was on women.
Lol at the butthurt female downvotes
The focus was not on women. The focus was on all people. I said in every paragraph "men and women", "people", "regardless of gender", etc. Just because I had one extra picture with women doesn't make the entire post about women only. Think before you post please!
Even if that's true, it's a technicality. The take is about fat people being physically beautiful, which isn't true at all.
You yourself look on the heavier side. Do you want people spewing things at you saying "you're trash", "you're worthless", etc? Being skinny doesn't make someone beautiful and being fat doesn't make someone ugly. The take is about people being beautiful from the inside out and bettering themselves for their own sake not the approval of others, but obviously, you didn't read it. Please piss off and have a nice day! I respect your opinion; goodbye!
xkera, you open by calling him fat? Really? After all of that fat acceptance speech? Are you actually giving the speech for ALL overweight/underweight people, or just for female overweight/underweight women? Because the way you attacked him makes it apparent that you do not care about men who are overweight or underweight, or any weight as long as they have an opinion that goes against your own. And why even bother with your passive aggressive nonsense? It is very apparent that you do NOT respect his opinion, because, oh I don't know, you tell him to piss off and accuse him of not reading your post just because he has a differing opinion. Bravo.
I could also really care less if someone calls me fat, worthless, etc.
I have a reputation in person; people, especially when I was in High School, knew not to say those things to me. Why? Because they knew what would happen.
@shadowelite102 I didn't call him fat. He was shaming big people, and I pointed out that he appeared to be big so it makes no sense to shame someone like yourself. I didn't attack anyone. The post was for all people regardless of gender/weight. If someone believes something different then myself then they are entitled to their belief. I don't condone hate speech at all. // Are you saying it's so outlandish to assume someone didn't pay attention to my take especially if it was almost the antithesis of what it was about?
The only reason I said to piss off because he clearly was degrading people whose beauty standards didn't fit his.
I am obese. I know first hand how disgusting obesity is--how immoral and anti-human it is. And, once I get these 70 lbs off, I'll be free of its evil.
It isn't about beauty standards. Obesity and sloth are evil; they need to be stomped out and erraticaded.
Well I'm glad you're working towards being a healthy human being! Also, I do apologize if I came off as rude at all.
Being over weight actually DOES mean unhealthy. It literally means being OVER the HEALTHY weight for your height. So being over weight can't still be healthy, it's an oxymoron.
Actually, you can be overweight and healthy. My mom is a nurse and she told me she's had several overweight patients who had health screenings and were in great health. She also used to work with a 400lb guy and his blood pressure was LOW and his doctor declared him healthy as well.
Obviously, being overweight puts you at a higher RISK for health problems but that doesn't mean you're automatically unhealthy.
Actually it doesn't matter. Being "overweight" doesn't always men unhealthy. I was extremely underweight for most of my life and I wasn't unhealthy at all. I only reach a "healthy" weight from weight training and running. Body fat and diet is what matters. There are plenty of people who are "overweight" but they aren't the slightest bit healthy and were even approved my a physician that they were fine. They eat healthy diets and work out regularly but remain "overweight". I'm not talking about people who got fat from having horrible habits either.
These are issues people with a BMI of 25 or higher have a higher risk of having as listed by the
national institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Type 2 Diabetes
High Blood Pressure
Heart Disease
Stroke
Cancer
Sleep Apnea
Osteoarthritis
Fatty Liver Disease
Kidney Disease
Pregnancy Problems, such as high blood sugar during pregnancy, high blood pressure, and increased risk for cesarean delivery (C-section) .
I wouldn't consider putting your body in a higher risk category very healthy.

@LogicBomber Actually, most doctors will tell you BMI is not a good indicator anymore, since it doesn't take into account: 1. Muscle mass. 2. Frame size. 3. Bone structure (which can add more weight, depending on how large.) Many professional athletes show up as "overweight" but it's due to their frame size and muscle mass a lot of the times.
Body fat percentage is a better indicator, which is what my doctor does for me. My doctor is a 30 year veteran and he doesn't even look at a BMI chart.
Yeah I get that BMI is not a perfect indicator. I often tell people who thin shame models like Miranda Kerr calling her unhealthy because she has a BMI of 17.5 and the Normal is 18. It's a stretch to say she is unhealthy because society has begun to shame healthy people in an attempt to make overweight people feel better about themselves. The reason I used the 25 BMI above was because it was mentioned in the article I listed.
I agree that using body fat percent and belly diameter should be used but that being said... being over weight will cause more health issues than not being overweight, which means that overweight isn't a healthy option. We as a society should not be glorifying or excusing obesity so that fast food corp America can continue to make it's people fat so they are less likely to fight back when the control gets tightened.
The Take Owner is right. There's going to be at least one or more people that have to say "being underweight/overweight is unhealthy." I don't listen to people like this because unless they're a doctor, they cannot dictate if you're healthy or unhealthy.
I'm overweight. But my blood pressure is normal, I don't have any cancers, I exercise, eat healthy (for the most part), and have good levels of Vitamin D, Potassium, etc. My heart is very healthy and strong as well.
As long as your are doing the right things to take care of your health, then it shouldn't matter how much you weigh (if you weight 400 lbs, then that's a problem, or weight under 133 lbs).
It's kind of annoying when people assume a bigger person eats too much and doesn't exercise. I may be overweight, but that's not true for me. I care about my health.
It's also annoying when someone assumes a very skinny person starves themselves and exercise too much. Not true. The stereotypes need to stop!!
Being overweight is not healthy regardless of how you want to justify it... being 20 means your excess in weight has not yet taken the toll on your body that it will as you get older.
Overweight people are more likely to get MANY different healthy issues, this is a studied and provable fact.
So regardless of how you make yourself believe it can be healthy, it isn't.
Love your take! <3
Really nice take!
Thank you!
I read this and I still want to look good
Okay?
Well said.
You actually buy this crap?
Ill fat shame till the day i die
you can work on this, why don't you? It's easier than gaining weight for sure.
Just make a plan and do it! (Less junk funk, no sugar etc..)
As in fat shame others, i am well built. @lovethelife
And it's not going to get you anywhere in life. Worry about yourself instead of others.
It gets me a good laugh, and maybe just maybe negative reinforcement will make them care more about how their body looks and thus do something about it. The fact that people have to write things like this to say "be happy with your self and your body" lays credence to the fact that they aren't really happy with themselves. Your body is your choice. @Laura1995
@fuuuark Obvious troll is obvious.
I promise i am sincere in what i say @Cincinnatiredsfan
Fuck this.
Exactly. It's complete garbage.
