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

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.

Thin will always be in. You get less complements now because you are 20+ yrs older…

It is just harder to be thin now because of the bombardment of convenience foods, door dash, delivery, etc.

I'm not so sure about that because an awful lot of people are convinced curves and big butts are where it's at.

Only if you are 20 and on Instagram. UMC/UC real life, no. Thin/healthy weight and athletic will always be in

When thin people do what they do best! Switch the narrative to themselves and their struggles!

There is no “shaming.” People are allowed to be proud of themselves for making heathy choices.

And they are allowed to think those that are not thin are making unhealthy choices? Isn't your logic the definition of shaming others by prompting yourself up and being prideful?
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.

To be fair there are more people online being proud to lose 10 lbs on a 200 lbs bodies than anything else.
It all goes under "healthy choices".

Very true. Losing weight is celebrated but maintaining is demonized. What's the difference?

That is what the thread is about. Not necessarily demonized maintaining weight, rather considering being overweight a moral failure by the that are slim. And not only them, most of our society. Men that are overweight, many of them feel superior to overweight women and call them names. My FIL, for example, who has a triplet stomach, calls overweight women on cruises whale watching. He openly mocks them and ridiculous them though he weighs more than many of them, and not just bcs he is taller. He is not.

But that point doesn't resonate with me at all. And just because you keep repeating it doesn't make it true. I'm thin and care about fitness, because I like it. It's about me, not you or anyone else. My staying in shape doesn't shame anyone. Your FIL sounds like a misogynistic asshole. What else is new?

Something systemic can only be true if you, pp, personally feel or do it? I don't put black people into prisons at higher rates than white people but I know and accept that it happens.

That can be backed up by data. Please cite your source for your claims.

WOW. You are beyond hope. NP

I am thin, I am 50 and have always been thin. I am right now making a huge pastry called burek to eat for breakfast! I crave sweets and love them. Speak for yourself pp!

What’s your point? You are not thin because you make eat some sort of sweet burek (?!) for breakfast. And you're definitely not thin because you think certain foods are punishment

Ha, ha. Another unhinged person who thinks she is morally superior bcs she eats veggies? LOL!
I am thin, I am definitely thin, and I never said I think certain foods are a punishment. That is yu projecting. I am a person eating loads of veggies, non-stop. That doesn't mean I don't eat pasty. It was a savory burek, btw. Here is a photo for your starved brain! You can't even comprehend that a person eating pasty is thin, that is how messed up you are!

That pastry looks gross.

DP here. It looks great to me. I’m a thin person who enjoys eating, loves to cook and bake, and am active and athletic. Not everyone has an unhealthy relationship with food. Labeling foods bad, carb bombs, unhealthy, or “kid” food, etc, is not productive. I don’t count calories, avoid certain foods, or restrict. Eating rich or buttery or even sweet foods is a nice treat in life and I don’t feel any guilt. It makes me happy just like sport makes me happy and cooking and eating for and with loved ones makes me happy. Balance in life is good.

I am also a thin lean person and agree it looks gross.

Didn’t read most of this bizarre thread, but can someone explain to me exactly how much “privilege” is required to just not eat so much? Fundamentally that’s all that is required to be thin.

Only trashy Kardashian lovers, not regular UMC folks.

Yep. Only struggle you are allowed to complain about on here is if you can’t stop snacking, can’t lose weight, can’t exercise because your knees hurt from your extra weight…only overweight people are allowed to complain about struggles here

I think OP does not have a fat problem but rather an attitude problem. She suffers from chronic inferiority complex and feels that the world is out to get her.

Honey! No one cares.

Curvy is not a synonym for fat despite fat people trying to claim it.
