Oh, this was great, you read my mind… The fat acceptance movement is 99.99% totally wonderful. The only things I really don’t like about it are, one, I worry about the nation’s health as a whole, because some people take ‘fat acceptance’ as, “I’m going to go eat a fifth Big Whopper” rather than a message of tolerance, beauty and healthy habits. Two, sometimes people take fat acceptance to heart so much than anyone talking about wanting to lose weight, for whatever reason, is demonized as giving in to media pressure and whatnot…

It’s not just about the size, it’s about appearance in general. We shouldn’t have to want to go to plastic surgery just because the society thinks a part of our body/face is ugly.

People also forget that large people can be anorexic and bulimic too – you don’t have to be thin to have such eating disorders. And also, large people can be perfectly fit too – just because somebody is thin, doesn’t mean they can run more miles than a larger people.

I am definitely one of those girls who can pack it away and gain very little weight.

I’m just .. naturally slim, and I keep myself at a comfortable weight (130 lb right now but people tell me I look like I’m 110lbs) because it makes me feel good.

With that being said, I don’t tend to eat a lot of junk food, chips, chocolate or candy.. or even pop — we just don’t keep it in the home.

I just eat a LOT of chicken, rice, veggies, fruit, other meats, seafoods…

And cheese is one of my favourite things, but I eat it sparingly (it can nauseate me after eating too much of it)

Great post.
