To the Plus-Sized ‘Body Positivity’ Movement: You’re Killing Women
No, I’m NOT fat shaming the plus-sized population
The plus-sized movement is on a roll to promote body positivity, self-love, highly inclusive sizing, and a rage against the slim community. Inadvertently, they’re also promoting self-destruction and praising the act of slowly killing yourself.
In general, inclusivity is a good thing. When it comes to race, sexuality, gender, and religion — but preaching ‘confidence over health’ isn’t something that should be applauded.
Accepting fatal flaws that will wind up killing you in your forties is just sugar-coated complacency.
I’m not going to sit here and pretend that it’s healthy to be 100 pounds overweight.
I’m also going to make this perfectly clear — I used to be 300 pounds, maybe even a little more at one point. I know the struggle. I also know the excuses, the frustration, and the judgment from outsiders, and I’ve experienced it all firsthand. I have every right to comment on the realities that come with living as a fat person.
Also to be made clear — this is not geared towards anyone whose weight is influenced by medical conditions. This is directed towards a specific audience and group of people — mostly plus-sized influencers and promoters of self-love…
