Fat "acceptance" - from the PoV of a fat person

[arithia]

23. *long clap*

Time and time again, studies have found that even concern trolling people over their weight exacerbates the problem.

Consuming food (especially foods we enjoy) produces dopamine and lowers stress hormones. Make someone miserable and stressed, they are going to seek out more dopamine. It's really that f*cking simple.

Some people are perfectly fit while overweight. Some people are encouraged to keep on extra pounds as a result of medical problems. Others are heavy due to chronic medical problems that you might not see and the person can do nothing about. When you add in other factors such as race, economic status, gender and the crap that passes for "nutritious" food these days (aka pizza being classified as a vegetable), weight becomes a very complex social issue that is best discussed by a patient and their doctor... not by the random jack@ss on the subway or the cubicle next door.
