MayEvil nachos
Feeling frustrated over a picture of nachos. Yes, I said a PICTURE of nachos. WHY can’t I have a NORMAL relationship with my body, food and exercise? It consumes my every thought. It affects my entire life. Where I go, who I’m with, what I wear, what type of job a apply for, how I parent, how I love. A normal person is thinking “they’re just nachos”. Trust me they signify so much more. Let me try and explain why said nachos are such a big deal: I have always been on some type of diet or attempting a lifestyle change or obsessing over exercise or trying to find a way to pay for WLS, or,….you get the point. At this very moment those nachos are hard to resist. So I’m going to sit here and think about how bad I want them and how bad they are for me. I will feel sorry for myself for a while. I will get pissed at all those people I know that can eat the nachos. I will eat carrots and try to convince myself that I’m eating something that is great for me so I don’t really NEED those stupid nachos. I will have a talk with myself about how hard I’ve had to work to lose the large amount of weight that I have lost..why would I want to ruin that by eating 1 serving of the EVIL nachos? Say if I finally say “screw it” and I go ahead and buy the nachos from hell what could possibly happen then? I would just eat them, enjoy them and never think about them again, right? WRONG. I would eat them and I probably would enjoy the hell out of them, but never thinking about them again would not happen. I would immediately feel like a big fat disgusting failure. I’ve been known to cry and to contemplate removing the food from my body somehow. All of this is my immediate response. It won’t just stop there. The next day I will plant my feet on the damn scale. I will most likely not like what I see. Even if its a loss, it won’t be enough because I ate those damn nachos. If its a gain my whole world will fall apart for that moment. This will determine the outcome of my entire day. Its a vicious cycle and no way to live. Stupid, stupid, stupid nachos.

May"Fat people in America are reduced to nothing but fatness. A fat person has a health problem of any kind? It’s because they’re fat. A fat person is single? Well, duh. Fat. They deserve it. A fat person is poor? That’s not surprising-obviously they have bad judgment and no impulse control! Because why would a smart person choose to be fat? If a fat person goes to a restaurant and sits on a broken chair and the chair collapses under them, it’s because they’re fat. But if a thin person sits on the same broken chair and the chair collapses under them, it’s because they sat on a broken chair."
-Lindy West, Being Mean To Fat People is Pointless: A Good Old Fashioned Plea for Civility (via broadist)
Negative experience = because of your fat
Positive experience = in spite of your fat
Not just in America though

May"Even if all fat people are the way they are due to their bad choices, even if every single fat person is unhealthy, that does not justify sub-standard treatment. How can the health of strangers possibly inspire such vitriol? If you remain convinced that others’ bodies are your business and people must justify their existence to you, perhaps you should consider the possibility that you are an arsehole"
-Frances Lockie (No one else’s body is ever your business. And weight does not always correspond to health/bad choices.)
Yes.

delichtig asked: I grew up in a fat family. I've never been happy with myself, I hated the fat so much and I still do. I've lost a lot of weight this past year, somewhere around 50 lbs and I feel like I should be content with that loss and yet I'm not. I continue to fear gaining the weight back and some days when I eat a lot, I don't eat the next day or just eat very little. How can I change that perception of myself? How can I learn to love what I am? No matter how hard I try, I can’t bring myself to do it.
It sounds like you’re scared of fat, which is a fear that many of us adopt through socialization....
