Skinny is the new moral/hard working and all other kind of superiority?

Even just committing to eat half of the meal you order when you go out is a step in the right direction. Portion sizes in this country are out of control.

Around the world the poor people are skinny. In US the poor people are fat and obese. But, if the obesity would have been contained to the poorest I could have said that the poor are obeses because they are eating poor quality food.

Unfortunately, obesity and being overweight is an issue even for the MC and UMC. It is disgusting. They know better, and they afford better.

I would agree somewhat. In the US, capitalism is King. Companies make money off of human weakness to pick tasty (high calorie) food with the least amount of effort. There is a huge demand for fast food, convenience food, and over sized portions (want my money’s worth!). But we have choices. And most often, picking heathy foods, preparing them, and saying no to the junk takes more effort. Which is why being a heathy weight IS an accomplishment

I learned a lot about nutrition and correct portion sizes when I had to do a gestational diabetes diet during my first pregnancy. I had no idea portion sizes were so much smaller than I thought--protein = deck of cards, pasta/rice = one measured cup, etc. When I am disciplined about it and follow those rules, I lose weight quickly. But I am hungry all the time while my body adjusts, and that is a challenge. I personally don't lose weight unless I feel a little hungry after meals. Not starving, but not 100% satiated either. More like 80-90%. I know I will gain weight if I eat until I feel stuffed.

OP here. This is the exact kind of pp I am talking about in this thread. Sadly, she is not the only one. She is merely one among the many.

Excuses! The problem is that every human will make excuses for their own character flaws. Gluttony is a flaw. Many of us also struggle with weight and we are fully aware that we put on pounds when we eat like pigs during the holidays. What makes you so special? All the people who are exercising and making good food choices and trying to lose weight are not doing it because it is pleasurable and easy. We are doing it to become healthier and also to look better. For most of us, it is a daily choice to do the right thing. We also don't want to be a burden on society and our families. Besides, if we are in a romantic relationship we want our partner to find us attractive too.

If you were so comfortable and happy with your weight you would not have started this thread. You certainly have the choice to stuff yourself with food that your body does not need. However, the pleasure you get out of food is not translating to happiness in your life, is it? And you certainly are out of line to try and be the thought police for those who think that you are out of control. Why do you care? Go inhale some nachos and soda and remain happy.

You sound like fun. LOL

Personally I’d rather hang out with someone overweight but who has a good, kind soul and a sharp, interesting life of the mind than someone mean-spirited, shallow and judgmental about other people’s bodies.

—someone not overweight but also not obsessed with my or others’ physical state.

Healthy mind lives in a healthy body. A food addict is only concerned about the next meal. Their thoughts are only🍕🍔🍟🌭🍿🥓🥨🥯🥐🍗🍗🥩🥫🧀

Me too. The amount of food in GD was shockingly tiny. It felt like something you would serve a toddler. I basically took to eating a bowl of steamed leafy green veggies before my regular GD meals because I needed more. Yes, you are hungry for the first 3-4 days but after that your body adjusts. However, if you overeat even once then your body falls back into eating more. You have to be careful about eating less.

Another good trick (if not pregnant) is to have a glassful of water with 1/4 tsp of Inulin, 30 minutes before lunch and dinner. It will give you the fiber and satiety. This is a very easy trick for almost effortless weight loss.

I do have to say that I was wondering how long before the pretense of "I don't care, I am nice to all people..." will disappear. Dcum does not disappoint.
Not only are overweight people unhealthy, but they also have sick minds! They are food addicts only concerned about their next meal. Not a single other thought in those sick minds!

You seem so pleasant. You almost have me convinced that you are morally superior to those other people you hate and judge so harshly. Almost.

Exactly. The hypocrisy is laughable.

Honestly, as a person who has been thin my whole life, I think the desirability of thinness is declining. I’ve never worked to be thin, it’s just how my body is. I used to get a lot of compliments on my body back in the 90s and early 00s. Unearned, but I viewed it like getting a compliment on your natural hair color or good bone structure.

But I noticed about 10-15 years ago people were less likely to compliment than to say something backhanded (“ugh, you’re so skinny, I hate you”). And then that turned into concern trolling, people suggesting that being thin was embarrassing, evidence of an eating disorder, or unsexy/unattractive.

I know it’s still considered ideal by a lot of UMC white women, but I think many others have rejected it as an unattainable or unhealthy goal. I definitely don’t feel superior to others. I don’t even feel like clothes look better on my body, even though I used to feel most fashions were sort of meant for my body shape.

Anyway, I can see why people resent thinness but I actually feel it’s in its way out.

Not only is it a moral superiority, but it is also a way to claim to be a better mom, better cook, better lover, better worker, having your own canning production, your own bread-making skills, having 7 hours to shop as you have to read yogurt labels, drive to Nick's organic farm to get free-range eggs, go to every farmer's market if you have failed to have your own farm and chickens to raise and make your own jam and canned veggies and free-range livestock.

Rather than call out the food industry here for being what it is, an appalling aberration akin to a chemical plant, dcum people have chosen to blame other women and moms. It is not getting older and having hormones go haywire. It is not about having enough time to cook and serve fresh veggies. It is not about being tired and wanting ice cream and just being human. Nope, according to some on dcum, it is an utter failure at any age, and it is your own, not anybody else's, even though 2/3 of the population is overweight. It is a simple way for those to feel morally superior. If they ever admitted that it might not all be their genetics, upbringing, luck in having such choices, or having the time to research all of it, they would admit they are no better than the other in population. What do they have if they admit they are not better than the overweight ones? Nothing but luck or an eating disorder!
It never ends, mom and women shaming by other women.

Rant over. BTW, flame away judgmental "you are to blame" skinnies!

I think therapy will be good for you. There is a lot to unpack here and you seem very angry and judged. I suspect that in your case not every thing is related to your weight.

If you are fat or overweight, rest assured that you get no abuse or bad service from me. If you are my paying customer or client in any way, I will not discriminate while providing you with goods and services just because of your weight, age, race, gender, religion, national origin, immigration status, disability, sexual preference, economic status, education level and beauty. I am also sure that most people are treating you with the politeness and civility in public that they extend to others.

What they think about your weight in their own heads is really none of your business. If you go down that path you will drive yourself crazy.
