To think 'celebrating your curves' is becoming a worrying trend?

[Freesunglasses]

So many of my overweight 'friends' on facebook are joining in the whole "I'm embracing my curves and loving this body, every inch"
The thing is they are Obese, not use a little overyweight but really fat. The more people see and read things like this the more it will become normalised.

Worrying times ahead I think. We're going to be a very fat country in the not too distant future.
I know it's hard to lose weight. I know lockdown has made lots put weight, I'm a little overweight myself but I will never say I'm happy with it because I'm not! I like being thin, I want to be thin.

For the love of God stop normalising and celebrating obesity.

I agree in a way.

I'm very average sized/looking. A 12/14. (Have been as big as a 20 in the past)

But actually my BMI has me overweight, not too far off Obese.

So if I'm nearly obese. And an M&S size 12. And the average clothes size is a 16.

Then I do think as a nation we've become blinkered to what overweight and healthy actually look like.

I love that bigger woman feel confident. And I hate fat shaming. But I also think pretending that obesity is healthy is very dangerous.

The Snag tights website I sometimes feel goes too far with the plus sized body positivity.

Like I say I used to be very overweight. BMI of 39. So almost morbidly obese. And while I envied the confidence of the models in some ways, even when you are that big you're kidding yourself if you think you're healthy.

Even now 4 dress sizes and 4 stone smaller that I'm still putting my health at risk.

I am overweight, put on 4 or 5 stone before my bloody doctor would listen to me and diagnose my underactive thyroid (hashimotos). During this immense weight gain I kept a food diary and consumed less than 1000calories a day. I am now at the same weight I have been for years, eat very little as terrified to increase weight again and exercise daily.

Please o wise one tell me how this is all my fault and what I can do to lose weight?

I am about 2 stone overweight. When I lost weight a year or two back I had friends tell me I was “too skinny” and “looked awful” so I stopped but I was still a healthy weight, my health is affected by my weight and I wish I had not put the extra back on.

@SonnyWinds If you think people shouldn't be "guilted" into treating you with respect and that it's ok to treat you like dirt and assume you're stupid/lazy/incompetent because you're short and have a facial deformity then I guess that's your right - but I think it's unacceptable.

That's not even anything like what you said, it's all written there in black and white, so again, stop being so utterly disingenuous. If you have to resort to this kind of nonsensical hysteria to make a point, you need to rethink your point and how you are coming at it.
