"I may be fat, but I beat my eating disorder"

[Regina]

I honestly don't think she's extreme either way. She was hardly emaciated skinny before, and it's a massive stretch to call her "fat" now.

I do have to say though, with VERY fat people (not her), I do think there is a level of choice to it. At one point you were the same size as everyone else, and I don't believe these people who sit there chatting some shit about "well I only eat salad and I'm still fat" girl not you don't. Stop that.

It's the bullshit I can't stand. I could care less about the health of random strangers, I'm not coming here with that plastic "oh your health!", just miss me with the bullshit. These people who sue McDonalds because "McDonalds made me fat!". No McDonalds didn't make you fat, you made yourself fat becuase you went to McDonalds 4 times a week and ordered the whole menu, let's be real.

Unless you have a thyroid problem (which 1/3 of The USA does not have) or a slow metabolism, you have no excuse. Even if you do have a thyroid problem, that would only make you somewhat overweight, not morbidly obese on its own.

I have more respect for fat people who just own it and say "yeah I'm fat, I love my food". I can't stand people bullshitting like they live a healthy lifestyle and somehow are still fat, or trying to act like being twice the weight of an average adult is a natural, normal body weight. When you do that, you're putting out the message to kids that it's normal and healthy, and that's the only bit of the whole "health" complex I seriously do take issue with.

But I absolutely maintain that the woman in the OP is not fat. She is at the bigger end of normal and she's insulting herself by claiming "fat". You can still plausibly be her size living a healthy lifestyle, she is the size of someone who genuinely does have a slow metabolism or maybe relatively mild thyroid disorder.
