I think obesity isnt anyones fault or a flaw. I think its a chronic illness/condition and should be treated as such, not as "laziness" "gluttony" but also not in a "weightloss doesnt work, if you like thin women you're a pdf" way!!!
Is there a middle ground between online fat liberationists and casual fatphobes?
And yes i know that fat liberationists would call me a fatphobe- their definition of this word differs from mine I guess.

Big Fat Denial
I was overweight as a child up until I was 22. At my heaviest, I felt fine; I had no mobility issues, I walked to work every day, I had lots of energy, etc (I just ate more calories than I burned, so I was fat). I lost weight and managed to keep it off for the most part through proper nutrition and exercise.
Fast forward 20+ years later, I gained weight during the pandemic (being sedentary as a result of working from home, eating heavily processed comfort foods, and drinking wine). I let myself go. Because of the weight, my health went to absolute shit - FAST. I began to experience
Fatigue.
Depression.
Inflammation.
Joint Pain.
Sleep Apnea.
Constant WHEEZING.
Indigestion.
Heartburn.
Acid Reflux.
High Blood Pressure.
I couldn't stand for very long due to the pain and pressure in my lower back. I had problems with my balance. My digestive system was a mess. I hurt just getting out of bed every morning. I would wake up gasping for air like I forgot how to breathe. The acid reflux was kind of my breaking point because it already sucked trying to sleep with the joint pain, wheezing, and fear of waking up gasping - now I felt like my esophagus was melting as well.
I went back to my trusty TDEE calculations and stuck to a diet of 1500-1700 calories per day* (lots of lean protein and bulky vegetables, as well as carbs because carbs are important). Once I lost the weight, guess what disappeared?
Fatigue.
Depression.
Inflammation.
Joint Pain.
Sleep Apnea.
Constant WHEEZING.
Indigestion.
Heartburn.
Acid Reflux.
High Blood Pressure.
I see a lot of young fat-positive people out there who brag that they "feel fine" being fat and that they are active and happy. That may be the case now. It's going to be a different situation once you get older. Our bodies are not meant to be excessively fat. We need health at every size - but we are not healthy at every size.
*This TDEE is based on my personal stats and may not be suitable for everyone. This included 3 full meals plus snacks and was not in any way restrictive or caused "starvation." If you want to create a caloric deficit in order to lose/maintain weight, speak with a nutritionist to come up with personalized meal plans.
I'm really curious what "weight-health denialists" like HAES and the bopo movement think of the emerging science regarding the importance of gut bacteria.
New research is showing a link between gut bacterial health and our brain function, and I'm wondering too if, in the future, it can be argued that all this junk food- excess sugar, chemicals, dyes- has caused a degree of brain damage or degradation in mental processes in the Obesity Epidemic Generation. We know food addiction, particularly to junk food, alters our biochemistry, so I'm sure r/fatlogic will especially interesting 20, 30 years from now.
I tried every diet in the book. I tried some that weren't in the book. I tried eating the book. It tasted better than most of the diets.

Weight Loss
I lost 20 pounds since the pandemic started. The last 15 following Dr. Furhman’s Eat to Live program. What gets me is people say things like it is an eating disorder to watch what you eat every day for the rest of your life. Are your obsessed for your dental health, if you brush and floss every day? No. You care that much about your teeth -- just your teeth! You should care the same or more for the rest of your body. I’m off my soapbox. I need a soapbox or two to stand on because I’m a small otter. Smaller now.
Someone doesn't want anyone to burst their fragile bubble.
NO, when people say they want to lose weight they probably mean: I want to feel better, I want to have more energy and less pain, I want to be in shape/build muscle/be stronger. I want to give my body proper nourishment instead of junk and improve my hair, skin, nails, etc. I want to be a better, healthier version of myself.
“Weight loss culture” will allow you to learn what a portion size is, help you stop over eating and emotionally eating. Ease the strain you put of your back, knees and joints. Allow you to keep up with your kids or nieces or nephews or even more fit friends. It will allow you to live a longer, healthier and most likely happier life.
