I am frigging exhausted with:
Every time someone rails about people being superficial and then turn around to bag on someone's outfit, be they someone famous or someone walking down the street
Every time someone loses their shit "jokingly" about how revoltingly old someone looks
Every time someone trots out "real women have curves" and then crabs about "skinny bitches"
Every time someone says "everyone should embrace their body, no matter what" but then shakes a finger and tsk-tsks at deathfat-sized women, because "we need to be healthy"
Every time someone looks at pictures taken on the sly of strangers in stores and posted online in order to mock the fat, the poor, and the underprivileged
Every time someone makes fun of an old friend they've found on Facebook because they aren't wearing the latest clothes or have "fashionable" haircuts
The above are things I have read online or witnessed in person within the last couple of days. Holy shit, am I exhausted with it. I am tired of people talking out of both sides of their mouths. Don't sit there and tell me "oh yes, I am all for body and size acceptance and our children are being tormented by blahbettyblah" and then turn around and tell me how hideous so-and-so looks in zie's Facebook pictures.
I'm over people being told the "right" way to dress, the "right" way to appear, the "must-have" accessories for whatever, the "right" way to behave. I'm sick of reading wailing about how certain bodies shouldn't wear certain clothing or how one's body is just too "fill in the blank with some sort of body hatred" to wear a certain piece of clothing. I'm tired of fat being used as this devilish spectre that's always lurking around every corner, ready to POUNCE upon any hapless person (usually a woman) who DARES to eat something that involves sugar or carbohydrates. I am way over the idea that being constantly hungry is a state one should aspire to.
Can I also add that it fries my ass a bit when I read a cooking magazine and see recipes doctored up so they're less "decadent", "sinful", or "naughty"? Because you know what? I'm going to take that recipe and I'm going to make it with every fucking inch of full-fat and sugar and carb product I can possibly find. And I'm going to eat it and I may very well take pictures of myself eating it so you can see the big-ass smile on my fat fucking face as I enjoy the shit out of it until I'm satisfied and then I put it in a Glad container for leftovers the next day!

Sunday morning ramblings from my bed.

Wow, you just summed up what I've been thinking about for three weeks. However I think that for many fatties, the «real women have curves» stage is a beginning one where you are looking for a single moment when you want to tell that skinny does not equal beautiful. I went throught that before coming to a full understanding that every body is different and lovable. :) However that «skinny bitch» stuff is not acceptable at any moment I think. Yay for you!

Oh, this! Absolutely. I cannot TELL you how sick I am of seeing food described in those ways and then "cured" of their "decadence."

Thank you for posting this. I hate these sites because they can't even pretend to be "educationsl" - they're just in it to hurt other people.
I lost a lot of respect for someone I know when I found out she just loves these sites and finds them so funny. (Yes, I tried to explain why I find them offensive, but to no avail.)
