I think most regular people are against it. I don’t see many people supporting that movement on GAG or anywhere else in real life. It’s just fat people and PC media trying to push that narrative. Even teenagers are smart enough to know that’s wrong.
It sure is crazy how the media is preaching body positivity in a way that tells you that you don't have to change for anyone. Ofc you shouldn't, but you should be told to care for your own health. Girls nor boys should be feed a life threatening lie like that.
I think it is more important to be comfortable with your self and feel well than be stick thin. I have had friends who were so perfect looking and still thought they were fat. I am not fat , but was sick of feeling like crap, quit drinking all pop and going on diets and eating bag snacks at night and feel better. My cousin is fat and has to take meds to stay alive they make her gain weight. She is bubbly and doesn't let her get her down but the comments women are age make to her are awful. I feel I have to stand up for her
"Big", or what people consider big in this society is beautiful. What you're showing on the pic isn't big, it's unhealthy, it's obesity and it's dangerous.
That's exactly what I said throughout my whole my take, I used that picture because she is described as a "plus-size" model, but like you said, it's just unhealthy 😊 thank you for agreeing with my opinion.
There is nothing wrong with the movement as long as it promotes a healthy weight range. There are people that have a healthy BMI and have a bit of extra fat. There is nothing wrong with that.
I simply think that some of the advocates might have taken it to the extreme as is apparent in every ideology. That does not make the movement itself toxic.
Additionally, I am sure that everyone of these negative commenters have something they are insecure about and wouldn’t like to be heckled.
Sorry, I've been fighting to keep my weight down, but you see these women, they come across as they have given up looking in the mirror. Being over weight is bad for you it can kill you...
I have seen these same "body positive" activists are the one's mom shaming mothers who still put themselves first and lose the weight and/or get surgery, or they're bashing someone that no longer wants to be fat...
to me and what I've seen, it's a bunch of angry overweight women screaming and as an equalist, I want it gone
^ either the absolute rarest woman ever or a man larping. The other girls your age must fking despise and ostracize the shit out of you.
i totally aggree. they pervertize the thought that you shouldn't "hate yourself" for being fat into "loving to be fat"... this is just wrong. what's next? suicide positivity? being fat is unhealthy and not cool. if you are fat, then yes you should obviously not hate yourself but you should do your best to get those extra pounds off your chest or you'll die early.
As bad as this sounds, it's their life if they wanna live that way it's their decision and they must live with the consequences. All people can do is inform and hope the best. I think a common mistake is that people expect a "6 pack" like that equals healthy I still eat pizza and other stuff when I'm hungry, so I don't have a 6-pack, but I try to make working out part of my daily routine.
Daily workouts. An important life skill.
Agreed, I feel a lot better physically and mentally. I just hope people figure out what they want before it's too late
I don't think it has as much to do with positivity as women like to claim. It seems more like a competitive tactic. I've heard the same women preach "girl, you don't need to lose weight, you're beautiful" to a fat friend's face, and talk shit about them behind their backs around their skinnier friends. So they're either too weak to tell the truth, or they're sabotaging the other girl.
You´re so right. How many obese people in their 80s have you seen? Extremely few, if any, because they´re all dead.
Okay it is important to be okay with being a BIT on the bigger side. Why is America catering to some people's lies on body positivity? It is positive when it brings positivity into your life. Who is happy about how they look when they weigh over 200 over and look like a blob and can't do anything for themselves? Sigh, I will never understand...
I can't boycott something I was never a part of to begin with anyway.
But honestly, in terms of physical attraction I've never found big women attractive... never. my maximum bmi is like 22 or 21 for attractiveness but they usually hover around 17-19.
Some people are just big, no matter how hard they try, and they are fit, and healthy. Metabolism is not a measure for fitness, and some are able to do as much if not more than a slim person, while also carrying their weight and not being out of breath. This movement is about conditioning the mind with CBT to change your thought process and be happy in your own skin.
I never thought when I heard big is beautiful means women that are big saying they are healthy. It literally means women who are bigger still are beautiful. That you don't have to be a size 2 to be a beautiful woman. I really don't see the issue.
Yes, as you can see I said I agree with the "big is beautiful" movement itself.. but I don't agree with when they take it as far as saying they are healthy, or as healthy as a fit girl who works out every single day. Like the screenshot from my friend on Facebook.
If you had even read the first few sentences of the mytake, you would've seen that.
I did read it and saw that. But not once have I ever heard a woman associate them saying they are big and beautiful and because they think they are beautiful that means they believe they don't or won't have health issues. So I don't see an issue. I'm surprised that you have heard big women argue that being overweight is healthy. Doesn't make sense so it makes me think maybe you're reading into things and interpreting the big is beautiful movement wrong. You can always make something negative out of something positive if that's your mindset.
Of course being that size is unhealthy. I have weight problems, and I am not proud of it like these people. Being unhealthy isn't something to flaunt about. If a person loves themselves they should take care of their body and avoid reaching obesity.
I think a lot of people have weight problems and understand it isn't healthy , accept it and at least attempt to change in some way. These "plus-sized models" are in denial and to encourage it is sentencing people to an early grave
Your actually doing people a disservice to their health by encouraging such a movement. People who are Obese will regret having this attitude once Diabetes, Heart Attacks, and Strokes start occurring way too early in life. You're not being inconsiderate by not encouraging them to be proud of being overweight, but you are encouraging them to have a Shorter Lifespan. Lol, it wouldn't surprise me if Healthcare Profiteers started this movement.
Personality I am attached to healthy people, and I do mean healthy, not fat, not skinny, lot lazy, everything that contains healthy life. I actually don't care what friends do or look like. But I am unable to get turned on if someone is fat, because a part of me find it repulsive, like they are sick or something. But that is my "problem" and more like a phobia.
Heard similar point of view with most men.
But there is a diffrance between obese and a few extra pounds
Yes there is, little extra is fine. But not more then that. How ever the same goes for me, it's both ways.
At least you are not praising super skinny but what metters should be the lifestyle? If a person works out and eats healthy it does not really metter that they are chubbier
For me it kinda still matters, average, athletic or little to much is fine, everything else is not fine by me. But I'm no hypocrite it go the same with my own body.
I like this my take but I don't totally agree with it. There two sides to this but often only one side is addressed I love thick girls not fat girls I like them curvy and most times this girl are by the BMI standards are slightly overweight. We all know that if your obese your not healthy that goes with out saying but it's not got or healthy to be a 5 ft toothpick either.
"it's not got or healthy to be a 5 ft toothpick either" depends. If it's someone's natural body type it's fine. People can have a fast metabolism which results to them having a hard time gaining muscle and fat
That's true but the media has a lot of people thinking that's the norm and it one like when you see model there 6 ft tall and a size 0 and the BS
TLDR. Nobody is really into FAT. At least not the majority. This is all just a feel-good campaign for fatties. You don't need to boycott anything, in fact, you don't need to do ANYTHING. Beautiful, huh?
It's been found by psychology studies that fat/obese women (likely men too) are always viewed as unattractive -even if their hip-waist-ratio is 0.7 - the ratio which has been found to be the most attractive to males.
@HumansExist - Seems like that's what I said. In a more round about way. LOL
I was trying to add the evidence to back up your claim... didn't work out to well I guess.
@HumansExist - Sorry... sometimes I'm slow to the punch... :)
What is even more true is that there is nothing of value on social media, the worst is FB. The narcissists playground. All you ever get is LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!
What a waste of skin.
