Remember NAAFA.org (http://www.naafa.org/discussion/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=1), that wacky fat ‘acceptance’ group I told you all about last year? Well, they’ve gotten even worse, if you can believe it. They are now run by a couple of radical fat lesbians who WANT more people to be fat! They trick the desperate people (mostly women) that join their organization to stay fat (and to get fatter) by telling them that they cannot lose weight by dieting and that their desire to lose weight is actually self-hatred! In addition to this, they lobby for special rights for fat people (guaranteed jobs, legally-mandated fat-accessible buildings, etc).
What’s going on now, though, is total bullshit. They prohibit any positive discussion of dieting on their chat board (but they welcome negative diet discussion), and they actually kick people, including THEIR FELLOW FAT PEOPLE, off the boards for even mentioning dieting or exercising for weight loss. They also refuse to even discuss their positions. Anyone who asks a question is branded a “troll” and is kicked off immediately. It is definitely a testosterone-free environment (except for Brider and me), as any questions are dismissed with a “don’t talk back to me” nagging tone.
Why should we give a fuck? For one, the national media tend to regard this group of wackos as representative of all fat people, so their bullshit press releases get aired to the public by CNN, Fox News, and other media. Also, we are impacted by this, as people like this fuck with all of us by suing restaurants for “making them fat” and with other similar activities. And, we all know that NAAFA?s claim of an unalterable weight set-point is total bullshit, and we should tell the deceived folks that there is more to life than being confined to a wheelchair, or to having other mobility-related issues. Finally, I, as all T-men, hate censorship of all kinds.
So… let’s all post there and totally fuck with the fat lezbos running this shit!
Its great they can be happy with their bodies, but to take it to another level & support being overweight? Or to just “accept” that they will never loose fat makes me quite sad. I read around, and a big health issue came up. Alot of them keep saying you can be morbidy overweight & healthy. But in general this has been proven to not be true over & over. You cant tell me everyone on that board if they’re still overweihgt & alive in 30 years will not have a host of problems linked directly to their weight.
However, there are problems with equality and people who are overweight. So I do understand some of what they are trying to do. Alot of people can tell you from expirience that even if you’re just afew sizes bigger than your bodies ‘ideal’ size that people treat you quite differently. but the way they’re going about it sounds quite counter productive.
I also read one post, where a women mentions the era where fat women were considered healthy & beautiful to make a 335lb pregnant friend feel better about her weight & health of her and her upcoming baby. Yet no one mentioned that the wealthy women(being chubby was not only a status symbol, but also a symbol of health & food) were not 335lbs, and probably at least 100lbs less that that.
Unfortunately, this feeds off of insecuritys & misinformation. Its quite a shame
The worst thing about these money and publicity-seeking ‘activists’ is their use of poor unfortunates for their own gain. Check out http://www.naafa.org/discussion/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=16 . These folks have serious health problems but, if someone posts diet or training advice, the fat NAAFA Nazi lezbos will kick them out.
You have about as much chance of winning the lottery as you do of permanently losing weight by dieting. Over a five-year period, only 2-5% of dieters succeed in keeping their weight off. and over one-third of all diets result in long-term weight gain. Would you accept a treatment for any other medical condition that had those “success” rates? If you’ve dieted frequently in the past, what makes you think this time will be any different? You may be wasting time, money, and energy, and risking your health if you go on another diet. Are the odds worth it? "
*Somewhere in a dimly lit, musty basement suite a 335 pound Behemoth wearing a Mu-Mu and squinting through the blue haze of Marlboro’s squats in front of it’s computer and types with meaty fingers that leave a coating of Rib Sauce on each and every key. Key’s not so much tapped as smothered with a lingering, dragging “kiss” across the surface that has been a surrogate for companionship for many years…
"And can you believe that there is this site that has all these health freaks in it?, It’s disgusting, I mean they make fun of Krispy Kreme!, yes I said MAKE FUN OF KRISPY KREME!. And as soon as you try to post about how obsessive body image is destroying America’s youth, they tell you that you can CONTROL YOUR WEIGHT THROUGH DIET AND EXERCISE!
What’s wrong with these people, I mean Phhhfffft, who do they think they are telling me that I control my own body, we all know that Ronald and the Colonel are running this bod and no one can tell me different.
I have to go now, my cats need feeding (it sure is a chore having 23 of them!) and if I stay in the computer chair too long my bed sores start to ooze."
Fat is PHAT, Take care,
Fatty, Fatty 2X4

'Cake weeps.
“Opera? Just what the world needs: more fat women screaming”
Haha Cupcake, I love you like a fat kid loves cake.
Speaking of lawsuits, these people need to be sued for propagating lies regarding health issues. Obesity is a proven risk factor for a host of diseases.
That site is this site’s antithesis. I think we should start a war with them! I think everyone should go over there and mob them! I’m going to, just for fun but I’m going to get couple of good posts in before they boot me. Hell maybe we could actually pull a couple of hopefulls over from that place and change their lives. In fact this would be an awesome thing for T-Mag to do, kidnap a self loathing fatty. Teach them the way and change their health and lives for the better. We could use shit like this against those evil bastards! That’d be awesome!
Actually Scrub I just popped over there and got very angry. I was amazed, they even alienate thier own if they don’t propagate the BS. I am actually going to look into bringing this to someones attention who might like to take legal action as this is extremely fucked up. I feel sorry for the children of these people never playing a single sport or eating a healthy diet, doomed to a short and unfullfilling life.
Yeah… we should go over there and totally fuck with the fat San Francisco wanna-be activist dykes that are responsible for deluding these poor women for their own benefit. And, I’d like to get in on that lawsuit.
here’s something that really caught my eye on their diet tip page: “On the average, fat people eat the same amounts and types of food as thin or average size people.”
ok…sure…i have seen what my rugby friends eat (the big ol’ props), and lemme tell you, they eat like twice as much as everyone else.
WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!!
p.s. anyone know the comparisons of the relative difficulty of losing fat compared to putting on muscle??
Bizzaro. For some strange reason, I can see a group of fat ladies huddled around a monitor looking at the T-Mag threads thinking oppositely similar thoughts as to what was posted here.
These people are a by-product of a wealthy and prosperous nation.
A few days ago, I caught the tail end of the Dr. Phil Weight Loss challenge. Where he installs video cameras in every orafice in the contestants home. They featured clips on people and their rationalization of why they are fat. One lady was sexually abused at a young age, and thought that perhaps if she kept herself fat, no one would ever want to touch her that way again. Whatever their reason for being fat, let them. Think of it as natural selection. The miracle of modern medicine has really fucked up the gene pool!
