There has been a growing movement over the years that has done nothing but lie, indoctrinate and trick its followers into believing misinformation. That movement is the Fat Acceptance Movement. They have made numerous untrue claims about being obese. With some of them being that: you can be healthy at any size, being obese carries no health problems, (that some people) simply can’t lose weight, etc.

Not only are these claims untrue, but they can be harmful. As they lead to people not even trying to lose weight or seeking the help of a healthcare professional. Some people who are obese also have an eating disorder, B.E.D (Binge Eating Disorder). By spreading these lies, people who are suffering from these and other issues may never get the help they need. So please, don’t fall for it.

@ovid @carnage4life Learning to do something I’m genuinely bad at, that stays hard, has probably been as good for me as the actual exercise.

Here I am, old, overweight, and slow, and I can still lace up my shoes and get out there. I impress myself every time I do! And giving myself permission to go ahead and be the #backofthepack has been liberating.
