It doesn’t matter. Guys aren’t going to start desiring them just because they repeat it endlessly. If they die alone and earlier due to health issues then they’re out of the gene pool.
I'm never gonna boycott someone trying to be comfortable in their own skin. Body positivity deals with self love and I'm never gonna tell someone that they're wrong for wanting to love themselves.
Did you even read mytake? I never said im against body positivity and self love, in fact I said many times that I support bigger girls and their body positivity movement. I said that I'm against the messages that come with it, the health issued based ones. Next time you should properly read the MyTake, before commenting..
Oh I read it. Next time you should try coming up with a different argument besides this same one about health. Or try starting with MENTAL health, since that's where it all begins anyway. You don't support anything if you're telling someone to boycott something.
I'm not coming up with a 'different' argument, because I was simply stating the reasoning behind MyTake. I'm not coming from a bad place, my dad is extremely diabetic and struggles with weight issues himself. This wasn't about mental health though, this was about the physical health problems that bigger people can develop due to excessive weight issues.. I said many times I support body positivity and I never said big isn't beautiful, I said I don't agree with overweight people posting how they are fit and healthy as it teaches the younger generation the wrong messages.. that was the whole point of the MyTake, it revolves solely around the physical health issues that can be caused from obseity. That is why I have only talked about health issues, and nothing more, nothing less. Don't take offence about something if you're not willing to listen to the facts.
I'm not taking offense to anything. I simply said that I wasn't going to boycott. I'm a huge advocate for self love and body positivity. And as someone that has lost 80+ lbs, I know a thing or two about being overweight. The mental and the physical tie in together, but ok. And I don't agree that these movements promote obesity. I will say that the screenshot is a bit over the top.
Yeah I understand where you are coming from. Thanks for your opinion
No problem.
I believe partially in what you're saying. Physical health is a bit of a stretch, I agree, but I would argue they are mentally healthy because they have self-confidence in their own bodies. That 's more than what you can say for a lot of thin folks.
Hm I'm not too sure about that, I think a lot of people have mental issues, whether they are thin or fat and it can't be based on their weight, to come to that conclusion. But yes I'm sure a lot of overweight people are mentally healthy, but this MyTake was based on physical health
You have a really good point, healthy living is kinda an important thing. Its not for everyone though, like I drink, I smoke its not healthy but I do it, but its not an ideal you should be encouraging
"Big is beautiful." ... No, it isn't. The people pushing this ideal are fucking idiots. Being fat is unhealthy and unattractive. Work harder, eat smarter, drink water, sleep more. Track your calories. Have some pride. This isn't hard.
Sometimes we make it harder than it should be. I personally went on a "I don't care about myself" regime for the last 2 years - after my sister died. I attribute it to my grieving process... however, as of today, I decided I am TIRED of carrying around extra unnecessary weight, and it's time to make changes - so I'm currently meal prepping, and working on that new me. ... Sorry, not meaning to make myself look good - I have a long way to go - but, if I can reach the point of saying enough is enough, hopefully others can too. :)
@ColoradoBound35 That's great. Sorry to hear about your sister. Good luck on your fitness journey.
Fat and obesity used to be attractive and sought after until the more modern age when everyone started having much easier access to food. And then as everyone turned fat, things went in reverse and being skinny was sought after. It's a double edged sword because claiming eating too much is unhealthy while claiming that eating too little is unhealthy brews quite a storm in adolescent minds because nobody knows the perfect amount
Body positivity is important. So is being as healthy as you can so long as it doesn't interfere with your life too much. As long as you are relatively healthy who cares.
And while I do like thick/chubby girls there is a limit.
I mean like its alright if theyre a bit overweight after 60. Or due to medical issues.
But otherwise bmi should remain normal.
You dont have to be 100lbs to be healthy though.
It does depend on what you do and how you workout (lost 40lbs by now)
Congrats on the progress!
@fragoleninnih
Thank you
This is one of the worst movements ever introduced to humanity!
Being an obese Landwhale is NOT OK!
There is a diffrance between a few pounds of extra weight and obese though
Beauty doesn't always stand on equal ground with health. So your boycot misses the reason.
Did you read the whole thing? I was talking specifically about when larger girls take the "big is beautiful" movement as far as saying they are as healthy as a fit girl with a six pack, who works out every day for their body. I wasn't just talking about just beauty, itself. Like take the second picture (The screenshot from Facebook) for example, of what I mean. :)
Oops, sorry, I must have skipped the facebook comment.
How does boycotting this, help? Does that mean you won't be attending the event? If so, will that change anything? Will supporting fat people make more people want to be fat? LOL
Be attending what event? It's simply just to stop people from saying it's healthy being fat when it's not. It's teaching the wrong lessons to children who idolise these 'plus-size' models and 'body positivity influencers'.
And yes when you support overweight people, in the way I have described in my MyTake, it teaches them that it is okay when it's really not okay for their health.
Wasn't the movement supposed to originally be about thicker body types and not about fat people?
Originally yes, but everything gets blown out of proportion
Like humans do
Yup hahaha
Yeah I agree, it’s unhealthy and unattractive, can’t figure out why so many bad things are glorified by the media now
Even the word big is a lie. Either tall or fat. Big are things not persons.
Well said! It’s good to have a healthy self-esteem but it’s also good to pursue being physically healthy. I also think we should boycott diet and exercise programs. They are failing us. We must make lifestyle changes to eat healthy and be active.
I think it's hilarious. AND... it only applies to women! You never hear "big and handsome"! BBW, lol. I'm all for body positivity, no matter your size, but to say these things lol.
Im all for body positive and people who are plus is okay. Obese however is NOT okay
Depends on how big. Overweight or curvey is beautiful, obese is not beautiful.
Overweight is still unhealthy...
Depends on how overweight though. 10 or 20 or 30 pounds overweight isn't unhealthy. You can be healthy and still be a few pounds overweight.
If you classify as overweight in a BMI test you’re risk of related diseases are much greater you cannot argue with that. Additionally muscle is the only exception.
It should be changed to ‘big is unhealthy’ sends a better message
