I am getting frustrated with the whole fat acceptance movement that we seem to have going on here in the media. I just last night saw a television ad for a new reality show called ‘More to Love’. It is basically the Bachelor but with overweight ‘contestants’. The trailer shows overweight women in tears lamenting about how they are not accepted by society.
From a healthcare perspective this is an atrocity.

This makes me very sad. There is absolutely NO WAY Spock would be committing these hungry cake depositories to film if it weren’t for the poor economy. I guess times are tough on Vulcan too.
I can imagine the photo shoot. “It is most logical for you women to congregate on this spot right here, as the strong floor support has the best chance of supporting your astronomical weight.”[/quote]
HAHAHA!

I’m calling avatar WIN. Also taking bets on how long you can keep it before you get it removed. LOL

I didn’t know hippos are friendly creatures and can get that close to humans without eating them!

I’m not a fan of taunting, but I see so much enabling behavior all around in all age groups and sexes and it makes me nuts. We should be supporting our friends and family in their good behaviors, not when they are in a self-destruct mode. In a way it is the enablers that are lazy or cowardly because it’s much easier to say “yes dear” than to confront the problem and confront the friend or family member.
and so the obese person and the enabler stay lazy and unhappy with their decisions.
so sad
Agreed. I believe that all of us are entitled to happiness. We all long to be loved and accepted. When we feel that we are not we turn inwards and blame ourselves. Out of this self-hatred breeds self-destructive behaviors. Overeating being the topic here, but any compulsive or addictive behavior can ‘fit’ the bill. I honestly believe that much of the obesity epidemic is due to this self-hatred/self-medication cycle.
Obviously, the road to obesity is a bit more complicated and multifactorial than that. We have a horrific food supply, poor dietary education, little stimulus for physical activity, and an environment full of toxins that may be causing hormonal imbalances. These factors need to be considered as well.
For me, the bottom line is if you value yourself, you value your health. I don’t think that we as a society should reward or enable self-destructive behaviors.
