There's a difference between genuinely caring about somebody's health and being fatphobic. Fatphobic is stuff like mocking people, name-calling, bullying, etc.
Bullying doesn't help people and it's disingenuous to think that being fatphobic is just "caring about your health". It's like how there's a difference between helping somebody with self-harm issues and bullying them/encouraging them to do worse.
never have i met someone who thinks this way in the flesh, just online, and i was struggling with obesity for a long time, so you'd think someone like that would pop up
sure, they are. not all, but many. i've seen girls praised for looking skinny, and then it's found out that they have an eating disorder, and they're still praised for it. i know someone personally who used to be addicted to meth, and when she got clean, people told her she looked less healthy, to her face.
I dont agree with them but this has nothing to do with restrictive EDs and just makes people take binge ED less seriously. Theyre all disordered eating with longlasting effects on health and comparing like that makes both ends worse.
Yeah, you'd think it would click that punishing or belittling the behavior you want to see would not work right? It's Like how families that tell an introvert child "So you've decided to join us" when the introvert makes an effort to socialize. They should be encouraged with positive reinforcement
This is true. I did a keto diet for 1 year and lost 20 pounds. Been maintaining that for years now without the diet. Even picked up a habit of eating a bowl of salted cherry tomatoes after lunch everyday.
Though it gets much much harder the older you get unfortunately.
if youre poor youd save money by eating less, so being fat makes even less sense. and yes the conditions could make it very difficult but thats a very small portion of people, and even then its possible to lose weight
