"I may be fat, but I beat my eating disorder"
RE: "I may be fat, but I beat my eating disorder"
She's not fat. She's pretty damn average she's hardly going to have a heart attack for being slightly overweight.

I'm one of the last people to see someone like her as fat.

My roommate, now she's fat.

I wish people would fuck off making this some kind of sexism issue. The pressure on men is just as bad if not worse.

I must have missed the memo. I wonder why you see #nofatchicks bumper stickers everywhere. Never once seen a woman with a #nofatdudes bumper sticker. I wish you didn't have to be a jerk every time someone has a different opinion than yours.

The other part of your comment I don't even know what to say about, that's how random it is.

You are right. I should have rephrased my statement: I am pretty sick of women being berated for being overweight and judged for their body condition. She recovered from an often fatal eating disorder, FFS. I phrased things the way I did because the OP is presumably a man.

Better? What part of this is random? This whole thread is filled with comments about whether her body is healthy or not. Weight is somehow a moral issue. How did that happen? People are fucking judgmental.

It's not about her health, it's about her attractiveness. Come on, at least admit that.

Why can't it be about both? Why wouldn't I admit it's about attractiveness as well? I said as much up until now. But as I later added, I don't weight is what makes her unattractive to me, rather her apparently simplistic mind.

I think the objection with it being about both is that no one really believes any of you care about some random stranger's health. No one believes you really take moral objection to someone being of bad health either.

So they want you to be honest and say "eww you're fat and it's gross"

That's just what I think the objection is, and of course it's a general you not you specifically.

But that kind of argument fails by virtue of lacking specificity(if there's no choice in anything we do, what's the point of defending her non-choice of being fat, and not my non-choice for criticising her as such?)

Come on, it's far easier to control one's words than it is to control one's weight ...

You can certainly say what you want, though. I just don't accept your view that overweight people are so because they generally choose to be so.

Except I never said that. You're putting words in my mouth. I made the distinction early on between fat people who are fat for reasons out of their control, and people who are fat because of their own faults, basically, and even consider that to be something they should pride themselves on. I specifically said I have no issue with the former, that would be irrational, but I will criticize the later.

This is typical of a regressive mindset. Your SJW complex makes you create problems where there aren't any to be had.

I do care about other peoples' health to a certain extent.

Perhaps in the UK, but not nearly here in America. Yes, I see the ads featuring ripped six-pack abs on young guys, but I don't feel pressured to buy into that image so much that I'm risking my life by sticking my finger down my throat trying to chase a standard of appearance.

As for whether she's fat or not, that photograph alone may not tell us much. What we know is she identifies as fat herself. That, for me, is enough to consider her fat.
