The stress is probably what helps put the weight on, the girls who are called fat. Also if you are self-conscious and it creates problems with the eating and more. It seems to me all the fat hatred in America is not making anyone thinner just fatter in general. What do they consider "emotional eating"? The stress by itself can increase weight. Too much focus on food is messing everyone up.
Yep. Because then they start dieting. Guess what? Dieting makes a person fatter, because it destroys their metabolism. Dieting doesn't work. If it did, the diet industry would go out of business.
ReplyDeleteYes all the dieting and starving themselves they drop down their metabolisms. I agree dieting does not work. I also think higher stress levels and the pathological focus on food and the body increases inflammation and other health issues leading to more obesity.
DeleteThis is why I like the Fat Acceptance that focuses on supporting and empowering fat people. All the arguing with the people in thinpro does not help anyone and you will never change their minds.
ReplyDeleteNo they will never change their minds and you know how I have warned of the two sides of the coin thing here where some of the fat acceptance serves as an enabler to the diet industry. I think we need support and empowerment too. We need answers and real treatment and not the cop-outs and lies.
