Fat-shaming works

Fucking GOOD FOR HER. And I'm not being sarcastic. People can derive motivation in all sorts of ways. Looks like she found hers.

I finally got pissed about my weight and I am losing and lifting. Nothing else is more important than what I put into my body and how I move it. No excuses. No blame.

I love this:

'There are also things that people take for granted, like being able to cross my legs under my desk at work, sitting in an aeroplane seat comfortably and being able to walk between two cars in a car park without worrying you’d get stuck.'

Reads like a rooshv parody.

The only ones complaining about fat shaming are the fat ones too lazy to change and become healthier.

I applaud that website for having the balls to post that.

I packed on some kilos over the years but I used to be extremely lean and fit. I played rugby, did mixed martial arts as well as weight training. That ended when I injured my arm and it wasn't a major injury but it required either a few years to heal or surgery that may or may not work. I opted for the few years to heal and got lazy.

My appetite hadn't changed and I packed on the kilos while not obese I had about 10 extra kilos. I met my current girlfriend during this period. Now fast forward a few years my is mostly arm healed and I get back to weight training and dieting and the kilos are dropping off and my strength is returning.

My girlfriend says she hates how hard I am on myself and how I put myself down for being so fat but she doesn't realize that it is the greatest motivator of them all. She wonders how I can be so confident yet tearing myself down at the same time but it's quite simple. I am extremely hard on my weaknesses so I do something about them and turn them into strengths.

If you feel bad about something you are more motivated to do something about it. If you accept how things are you won't.

It works for some people, it doesn't work for others.

Has Oprah ever made one girl skinny with her "self empowering" bullshit?

They've actually done studies that have shown fat shaming doesn't work, which surprised me. I guess the idea is that when people criticize you, you become defensive and less likely to change.

On the other hand, I can't imagine that a general culture that views being fat as positive would motivate people to lose weight either. It's just the people have to come to the conclusion to lose weight themselves.

The guy was an asshole about it but you can't deny that it works, still I don't think he needed to throw his drink at her

claytonian · 2014-02-07T01:34:48+00:00

Or it drives people to suicide. But hey.

Shes still a porker but props for taking some action. This quote from the article is also a great example of how the hamster rolls re: cheating and other rationalizations:

"Steph said: 'I thought that if no one saw me doing it, then I hadn’t done it, which is never a good way to be."
