The fat illusion and why normies think they're "not that fat" You know what I really, really hate? Very flattering clothes on fat people. ("Flattering" as in what's possible to save.") Because when normal-weight people, and especially already chubby people who are very out of touch on how fat on body and fat bodies work, see pictures like this: http://40.media.tumblr.com/a1222e8d356826ff0abc59bba9953f8f/tumblr_n4b00q3GDK1t1cfk5o6_500.jpg http://www.sheramag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/fatkini-3.jpg Okay, we know how bad this situation is, because we know, but literally tons of people don't realise it, because the belly is hidden. They think the fat on her body is only where it's currently visible, thus thinking her stomach goes relatively flat like this: http://aelida.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Thick-Body-Type-Woman.jpg To put it simple: a massive amount of normal-weight people are not even aware of the FUPA. I was one of them. I had no idea. When I first started lurking on r/fph ages ago, I was baffled at how you would make fun of them, since they didn't even look that fat! (How innocent, how pure...) But then it hit me. And I was shocked, disgusted and repulsed when I learned. And I've literally had to explain to some people that no, the stomach drooooops.  http://drdarmplasticsurgery.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Dr-Darm-Plastic-Surgery-Tummy-Tuck-Before-and-After-GD-Slide2.jpg It's a surgery before and after. No matter how much weight you lose, the only way to get rid on it is surgery. Once you go FUPA, you never come back. We need a fupa advertising campaign. Have any of you had similar experiences with how easily people are fooled by landwhales' clothing choises?
