This doesn't make you worthless to society- plenty of fat people in the workforce, paying taxes and raising kiddos.  But if saying it hurt even just a little, start doing something about it. Not for society, for you. Trust me when I say that calling your problem something nicer will never make it go away, and euphemisms aren't worth much when consequences start rolling in.  So I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, but I want to spare you that dreadful moment when nicer words for the problem can no longer make you feel better about it. I... thanks. Ok so that's the thread.  The closest things to fat sympathy would be:  Why you got under my skin specifically I don't know. Probably because I'm trying to help you, not be a dick.  or  Keep trying to make healthy choices  Which was extremely generous as it's obvious this ham hadn't made healthy choices since high school or before she could make her own choices.  But it was followed up by  and recognize that exercise and working out are only part of the equation, and honestly don't have to be in the equation at all if you hate running, lifting etc. Lots of people lose tons of weight without ever setting foot in a gym, just clean eating and watching their portion sizes. Other people eat whatever the hell they want, and lots of it but stay fit by burning absurd amounts of calories through sports, lifting and running. Think about what fits best with you, your personality and the activities you enjoy. Personally, I hate exercise so I've fallen into the clean eating/occasional walks group. The best advice I can offer if that's the way you want to get healthy is to make rules, and let yourself break them as rewards, or treats. My two main rules are no sugary drinks, and no carbs at lunch.  I think that's solid advice.  I had to take the afternoon off today to have my doctor tell me I have tendonitis in my left knee from hiking fifteen miles over the weekend, what I do is a bit more than walking but semantically it passes, and you can't deny that moderation + cooking your own food and daily walking, even on flat pavement, is a recipe for a fat to lose weight or a human to maintain it.    Now here's my problem.  I deleted my last voat account after the extremist attack in Paris last November.  Had some extremely disappointing conversations with people in 'Let's hate this fat especially because it's Muslim' posts and just had to ragequit.  We have a serious god damn problem.  Literally no more than 5 years ago I would have guessed that most of us are in America but now it doesn't even fucking matter.  I spend time between my home in the southern US (adipose epicenter but lots of nice forests), France, Germany and Denmark (I'm French which is why some of this muslim shit pissed me off so bad) and it's everywhere.  This is a serious goddamn problem and if you're not going to offer any sensible fucking solutions then don't be criticizing people who do.    It's not like I was telling the Slaton sisters they can get healthy by going on daily waddles.  I didn't tell fucking Simpee Sarah it can lose weight by home-cooking its food.  I told a fucking 20, 25 at oldest ham that if it takes a good long look at itself, and can tell itself the truth then it has a way better chance at fixing its problem.  Their whole house of cards comes crashing down when you allow people to actually speak their mind.  You said it yourself!  And a lot of times I can have a good fucking laugh at it, and I often post it here but the brigading dipshits on here always get the juiciest shit deleted.  I mean jesus christ I came right over here when I noticed the spike in votes on reddit, you're not being subtle.  You've got to offer solutions.  You can insult the world as it swallows you in fat or you can try to pierce the veil of fatlogic with   When confronted with a tiny morsel of logic  Get a good laugh out of it if you're looking to insult someone,   from someone who even turns out to be a fat sympathizer...  And offer a god damn solution instead of beating a fucking fat, dead horse into the ground.  Jesus fucking christ, you get   Fine, I'm fat. I know. I fucking live in this body ... But there's your admission. I'm fat. I'm worthless to society in this condition. Thanks.  and  I'm just trying to find a little tiny bit of comfort. Since you've managed to strip that from me today, I hope that makes you proud.  Out of a fattie on reddit who realistically is young enough to bounce back from obesity in 5 years tops with minimal (or no I'd guess but I'm not a doctor) lasting damage and what are you supposed to do?  Keep insulting it and push it towards the eager and bloodthirsty bucket of crabs that is HAES?  Or offer it a god damn fucking sensible solution, eat less move more BMI is not bullshit.    Don't be blind.  Karma isn't something that happens to you, it's something that you do to yourself.  If the only thing you put into the world is hate, what do you become?
