There's also a thread at the top of loseit right now celebrating a 17 year long attempt to get rid of the babyweight. That goal weight being 235lbs. And she wants to take it "slow and steady" to reach her new goal of sub-200lbs.  I saw that thread too.  Good catch!    It speaks volumes about American culture that apparently you're supposed to become obese after having a child.     Doing some rough estimates it's pretty clear that at her current size she'll probably die of weight related complications by then. But all   "Getting lots of upvotes on /r/LoseIt and /r/FatPeopleStories was totally worth it," said the Reddit poster dying of a heart attack.  Loseit really is the definition of lunatics running the asylum. Weight loss subreddit run by fat people.  See also: the difference between /r/fatlogic and /r/FatPeopleStories in early 2014 and /r/fatlogic and /r/fatpeoplestories in summer 2016.   If you want further evidence, look at the stickied post on /r/ChoosingBeggars, which is one of the few shitlord-friendly subs.    I joined Reddit in early 2014 just so I could post on /r/TumblrInAction and I was present during the Fattening, and there was a substantive difference.  You can tell that the other subs were friendly to shitlording and cross-pollination, with the plausible "we're not FatPeopleHate" deniability, by the fact that both FPS and FPH posts were on /r/AdiposeAmigos .
