(12 posts)I guess I was hoping that because one person spoke up, there would be more self reflection.
I cant believe so many "facts" about the problems with obesity. More fat shaming but add facts to it too? This is such bullying behavior. This is what emotional abusers do. You say, this is shaming, please stop.
they say, "what's wrong with saying someone is fat"
they say, "well, I'm only concerned about your health"
then they say, "you are costing the tax payers too much money because you are fat and cause health problems"
Each person here who has said anything derogatory about fat, should be transparent and post their BMI, and all their bad habits. Are you living a completely clean lifestyle? No smoking, no weed, no sugar, exercise 30 min a day, no excessive spending, no cheating on your partner, no porn? Do you recycle? Do you cook your own food? Do you spend your money wisely? Do you donate your time to your community?
Each person probably doesn't want to be transparent about their "faults" because then it would level the playing field. Because then they would have to look at their own failings and problems. Bullying people about their weight is nothing more than a reflection of ones own insecurities. Watch Trump, its what he does. We have to learn this now to positively direct our energy towards equality and a positive future, Not continue to contribute to this awful bullying. It's juvenile and counter productive.
