Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

a girl I'm close with who absolutely isn't fat, but is unfortunately genetically predisposed to large calves (only made worse due to her work out routine) has this issue. it's not just a fat people problem.

hell, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, during his wrestling career, had to get custom made "calfless" wrestling boots because he couldn't comfortably wear normal wrestling boots in his size due to how big his calves were.

yeah, i've known some thin people whose calves won't go in to most boots.

but the link is to a fat website, so. eh. in this case, yeah, it's fat.

true, I just wanted to clarify that it's not a fat-people only problem

which, tbh, just makes the link that much more ridiculous. bitch you ain't the only person with fitting issues, go sit down

lmao ikr

that whole blog is full of bitter fatties trying to make every problem in their lives about ~thin privilege~

despite constantly being told that, no, the shit that happens to them can happen to anyone

not every thin person is thinking "lolololol such a landwhale go die" when they glance at you ("you" meaning TITP idiots), stop projecting

> not every thin person is thinking "lolololol such a landwhale go die"

i am

every single time

yeah, and being beat up on by a group of queers for being straight can happen

"this could happen to anyone" is not at all a sound argument. it happens to some people more

anon. i really don't want to go digging through that cesspool of a site to find all the instances of "this happened to me BECAUSE I'M FAT!!!!!" when they're describing a common problem. but here, a gem from page 2:

"Thin privileges is being able to work at a retail store without having someone openly mocking you."

multiply that by however many pages are on the stupid blog and you'll understand why i hate it so much

I've been openly mocked for my facial piercings while working retail. Does that mean people have No-holes-in-face privilege?

No, it just means cruel people will be cruel over any difference between yourself and them. Being fat has nothing to do with it.

did you just compare being fat to being gay

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT I HAVE A THYROID CONDITION!!!"

aka the very worst whale song ever

I mean, I am willing to believe there is a percentage of overweight people who truly are medically predisposed to that state, because body chemistry is fucking weird, but that percentage has to be much smaller than people like this want us to believe, if only because if it was that common, there would be a hell of a lot more research into treating it.

in all seriousness, it's really hard to peg down what is and isn't viable. in this day and age with all the preservatives and chemicals and medications people take, it's incredibly hard to figure out what those things all mixed together can do to a body. that's not even taking into consideration what fifteen different body types might be like with the same combinations. i mean, we're still waffling back and forth and changing our minds on the basic things like what sort of fats are good for you. eggs are bad. no, now they're good. no, now only egg whites are good. no, they're a great source of this and that. our science is constantly evolving and changing and that also happens to carry over into what it discovers and how that affects a body.

add in things like birth control, a mix of other medications, genetic conditions and it becomes next to impossible to figure out what all of those actually can do to a person. we have a lot of conditions in this day and age that weren't present a hundred years ago, or weren't as prevalent. we're doing things to our bodies and we don't really know the long-term effects. there just isn't money in researching for 'fatties', because doctors get more money from people with conditions that stress their bodies than not.

idk, anon, I'd definitely qualify being overweight as a stress on the body. Before I started losing weight, my knees and spine were incredibly bad shape.

... that's what i just said, anon. being overweight stresses the body and doctors make money off of things that make you go to see them.

please read, anon.

shit, my bad

WELL then I agree, yeah, but I still maintain that the percentage of people who are overweight whose status can be traced to medical disorders of some kind, either genetic or otherwise, is still pretty small compared to the number of people who are just plain fat and unwilling to change their sedentary lifestyles.

like, that was me. that was my dad and mom. we were just fat. we had no medical predisposition to it, we just didn't move around enough (and in my dad's case, ate like a garbage dump). once we all made a promise to ourselves to get right, we started getting, and more importantly FEELING, healthier

idk, maybe I'm just using anecdotal experiences to color my bias, but I'm just less likely to believe someone's self-diagnosis of medical issues.

as someone who actually does have a thyroid condition, people using that as an excuse for why they're fat grinds my gears like nothing else. yes, it can make it harder for you to lose weight. no, it won't make you obese. a good portion of my family also has thyroid issues and not one of them is obese. overweight maybe, but not obese. and if you treat your thyroid problem (which you should because it can seriously fuck up your body in a lot of ways if you don't), then a lot of the weight you've gained will come back off.

yes and no. I have one too, and yeah, people just turning to it as an excuse is frustrating as fuck, but by the same token, losing weight is harder when you have a disorder, even with treatment. just needs to be said.

but I'm with the above anons discussing medical conditions in the sense that, thyroid disorders are not "sexy" like diabetes, so nobody wants to fucking research thyroid disorders and come up with better treatments. I think a lot of medical conditions have the same problem - doctors are trained to fat-shame and so they'd rather tell fatty to go lose some weight than try to figure out what combo of medications, genetic flaws, potential diseases, and lifestyle are actually causing that person to gain or fail to lose.

oh yeah, it's definitely harder than it is for someone who is perfectly healthy, but it's far from impossible. i'm back down to a normal weight now and i've been maintaining it for the past three years or so. i have to be more careful about my eating and exercising habits than someone without a thyroid disorder, but the synthroid seems to be doing its job so far.

it doesn't make you obese. it definitely contributes to obesity, particularly if it's not caught and treated promptly.

as a fatty it's not thin privilege and who the fuck takes it out on people who look differently

take it out on mass media and companies trying to manipulate you into telling you how to look, dress, feel, and what should and shouldn't fit you no matter your size

idgi why are we not all pissed at the fucking (probably old and white) men telling us how to look instead of each other

amazing

does your friend want to step on my balls

her instagram photos attract comments like this. it's kind of hilarious, creepiness aside

hell no
