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

[paulpablo]

You, and she needs a sense of perspective, she's does not have a particularly unhealthy weight on the "after" picture.

I wouldn't say she necessarily does on the before picture either.

One of my main issues is none of what she claims is supported by doctors, and the general message that fat can be healthy is a dangerous one. Just as dangerous as the pro-anorexia messages.

Fat is healthy, being fat is subjective to a certain degree.

The pictures remind me of this girl I know who's taken it too far trying to be skinny.
She always sends me pictures of herself to my phone and I don't beat around the bush in telling her that she needs to eat some fucking cheese burgers and that I miss how her thighs used to look but she just laughs at me.
On the first picture here, her thighs just look like two pencils that's how my friends look.
Now if I knew any girl and her thighs were looking that thin, and she continually talked about all the cardio she was doing and so on and so on, I'd definitely tell them to relax a bit more, at least give themselves a treat at the weekend so it's not just a one sided war against all the fat which the human body needs.

This has happened more than once, another girl I knew would continually talk about running all day long and so on, but I can relate to that because I can get gym obsessed too, I think some people, like me and these female friends of mine, just need a reminder every now and then that the human body functions fine without going on cross trainers for an hour a day followed by weight machines and then a heavy day of physical work the day after.

I think the message is more like "I used to be obsessive but now I relax a bit more" Rather than. "I don't give a fuck now, It's cheeseburgers and pizza for me everyday, EVERYBODY FOLLOW ME, AWWWW YEHHHHHHH !"

But relaxing with a treat isn't obviously the message that should be given to everyone. I wouldn't say to the obese guy in work who has mcdonalds and redbull for breakfast that he should treat himself more and that fat is healthy, because fat is definitely not healthy for him, he already has too much of it.
