I've been through all of that. It takes time, and it takes work. When I say it's a choice, I don't mean someone decided to be fat. That rarely happens. But it's a choice in whether or not you take the steps to a healthier lifestyle, even if it's just an extra ten minutes of walking a day, or cutting out even 100 calories a day. The people who expect those who are obese to change overnight are in denial. There will be setbacks and slipups. Even if it's just taking small steps to overcome comfort eating before you start on a weight-loss journey, that is making a choice between that and continuing to sit back and eat without thinking.

One of the most horrible things in the world is to be told "but you're still fat!" after making a huge weight-loss step. If you've ever had to deal with that, I feel for you, and I understand. <3

Aaah, okay, I misunderstood you, then. It's unfortunate that I'm so used to assuming the worst on these things, since yeah plenty of people would look at these people and say "you chose to get fat in the first place!"

But yeah, basically this. The whole point of fat acceptance is accepting that there are people out there who are fat and everyone else can just mind their own damn business and let those people come to terms with their weight themselves. At the end of the day, who is someone else's weight really affecting?

And yeah, I have.

Sorry to butt in, but reading what you wrote made me whince in sympathy. I myself lost 30 kg (thats 66 lbs, I think) and I really know what it's like. Right now I'm actually the skinniest I've ever been (ironically not through dieting, but through a bad break-up) and I STILL feel fat (not to mention all the stretch marks that will never, ever go away). Sometimes I still worry what people think when I eat in public.

Because of comments people made. Things like that stick with.

[miezen.livejournal.com]

Hey, no problem. And just. Ouch. That hurts. I'm sorry you've dealt wit that.

Eating in public has always been a huge problem for me. I always feel like I'm being judged.

[october-miss.livejournal.com]

It's probably because people really do it.

My friends recently went to Burger King with me (I don't eat fast food anymore though) and we saw a group of teenage boys make fun of a chubby girl who ordered a meal...

I think she noticed it too, because when she got her food she ran into the back. Where to people get the idea that it's ok to judge and shame someone you don't even know for their body size?

[miezen.livejournal.com]

Probably. And that's just. So fucking ridiculous. You don't know the person you're harassing. You don't know her circumstances. Maybe she'd just fucked up the dinner she was cooking and didn't have the time or money to get more supplies from the grocery. Maybe she was just low on time or money period. Maybe she hasn't eaten at Burger King in a month and had a sudden craving, which she decided to satisfy for one meal and then go back to a healthier diet. Whatever the case, it's ridiculous to act like that to someone you don't even know based on one lone fact that you know about them; they're heavy.

[october-miss.livejournal.com]

Yeah :/ It was really hard to watch. And these things happened to me too, back when I was heavy.

Oh well, the only thing you can really do is try to get your self esteem up and remember that shallow assholes will get their comeuppances one day.
