I GET SO ANGRY

darkroasttales:

WHEN I SEE FAT POSITIVITY POSTS.

There is literally NOTHING good/positive/happy/healthy about being fat.

Do you want to know why I say that?

Because I am fat.

And I used to be fatter than I am now.

And I’ve learned, that as I lose weight, that LIFE IS SO MUCH BETTER.

Cuter clothes.

Better range of movement.

Better skin.

Better hair.

I can wear more kinds of shoes/boots because my feet and legs aren’t so goddamn thick.

I don’t get out of breath walking up a flight of stairs or a hill.

I can buckle my seat belt on an air plane. Along with that, I’m not worried about the person I’m sitting next to not having enough room.

I can ride roller coasters without having to sit in the fat people seats.  (Yes, there is such a thing.)

My doctors aren’t worried about me dying an early death.

And yes, I TRUST my doctors because they went to school for years and years to learn about the human body and how it works.  They know better than me, they know better than you do.

I know a lot of fat people, and I used to be one of them, say that it’s impossible to lose weight, that they’ve tried, and they can’t.

Well it’s bullshit.  It really is.  It’s hard as fuck sometimes, and keeping it off is even harder, but it is POSSIBLE.  So possible.  I follow a lot of inspiring fat to fit blogs here, and if they can do it, anyone can.  It’s about wanting it badly enough.  If you want a job promotion, you work for it.  If you want to lose weight, you work for it.  You don’t just eat one salad and then give up.  That’s not how it works.  It’s an every day thing.  A life thing.

Diet, exercise, working out, being healthy, losing weight, are not bad words.  

It’s OK to love who you are, but you can love yourself in unhealthy ways.

I’m still not at my goal weight, but I’m going to get there.  Because I refuse to give up and accept being fat.  I’m more than just a fat chick.  I’m a fat chick who is going to lose the fat.
