I say that all the time. People look at an obese person and thinks “that’s disgusting you should be ashamed” and the same person will look at an anorexic peeson and think “oh poor girl hope she can recover from her eating disorder”
They are both eating disorders!
Let’s try to go pass our biases and see obesity for what it is, a eating disorder, not with disgust or shame.
Edit: I would just like to point out to the dumbdumbs that I am overweight and was obese for a while. I am a witness of how bad people will treat you without even knowing your background or problems that took you there. Not everyone is a suitable candidate for bariatric or ozempic, there are lots of different reasons and only a very small portion is caused by lazyness as toxic people like to call it. I am and will always be an avid defender of humans treating humans like humans and not “lazy fucks”.
Apparently overeating/obesity has been categorized as a chronic disease since 2013. I was just talking to a weight management doctor who was explaining that there’s actually hormonal responses that differ person to person that play a huge role.
That’s what happened to me. I’m overweight myself and my doctor is a wheight expert too and In my case I was able to change my life with depression treatment but also with some hormonal replacement.
The problem is people spent years trying to push a narrative that fat people are beautiful and we all need to love and worship how amazing it is.
No one ever says that shit about a meth head.
Majority of the world is overweight. We clearly are not doing enough to make it a negative train in society compared to its accepted or “beauty” status.
You took this to a whole other discussion. Yes there are some people that think fat “should be beautiful” and those people are fooling thenselfs more than the others.
But this is not the majority a neither has been pushed “for years”. This began with the woker culture trying to humanize fat people exactly because of how bad people are treated just because they are fat. But I can tell you I don’t know any fat person that thinks like that. Like most (not all) very skinny people have some eating disorder, most (not all) obese peoole have some eating disorder, this can be in consequence of depression, addictive personality or even in conquencence of medication that they need
That is why is so important to no judge someone without knowing why they are in this situation.
