An eating disorder is a fancy way of saying addiction. It's used as a coping method, just like tobacco or alcohol, so it's definitely a real thing lol

And yeah maybe it worked for you (and not sure if you are one for praise, but its good that you did) but thats not gonna work on everyone, and could just make the situation worse.

So ig maybe there are some benefits as it will help some... but having the mindset of "oh this is ok to do to anyone who's overweight"... probably not a good idea, as again there are more polite ways of doing it.

as for eating disorders, they don't exist. If a fat guy like me can eat that much food and do so little - surely I would have a disorder right? Clearly not. Since I made that change so easily.

If a guy like you can talk so much shit and still be constipated - surely those Welsh sewers would be clean as a whistle

Hmm omg, I will have to tell the American Psychological Association that information they must be confused. My DSM has several eating disorders listed. Since eating disorders do not exist they will need a full convention and come out with the DSM-VI.
I am sad I will never be able to diagnose an eating disorder ever again.

Just completely ignore my reasoning. That's fine.

Just watch making global statements. I know what you are saying that you did gain weight and were bullied. You take responsibility and did not blame your parents. But there are eating disorders. Use to work next to a group home. All of them had Prader Willi Syndrome. That is a condition where they constantly crave food. Once me and a co worker traveled to a city to meet this girl. She weighed over 600 lbs, they had to use two hospital beds for her.
 
People are going to do what they’re going to do.
I don’t think that shaming someone for their weight is helpful.
I have been shamed for my weight by my family my whole life. It is recently that I am trying to fix my relationship with food all because of all of the shame I got growing up.
People should be encouraging people:

For example if you’re concerned about a friend you can say “hey do you want to go on a hike with me?” Or say “hey I’m concerned about you because of ___” don’t be telling them “hey you’re a fat piece of crap” that’s only going to harm someone and put them in a negative headspace and bring down their confidence.

I’ve gained about 5 pounds since I’ve started my office job. My doctor told me yesterday that I had gained a little bit of weight and I was upset, but she also said “hey I’ve noticed you’ve gained a few pounds, what are you doing that is different, how are you feeling, etc”
We talked about it and she gave me pointers on how to keep my weight down while I’m im working a more sedentary job. And it’s all good.

We should be lifting people up instead of tearing them down. 😁
 
I think people should remember fat shaming people can cause really negative effects, especially eating disorders. For some it will motivate them to lose weight (and it can be successful!) But many many people can end up spiraling on certain comments.

It can also save their life, if comments are hurtful to them but it makes them eat less thus not dying from obesity then it's worth it. I don't think 'fat shaming' is the correct term to use though.

There’s all sorts wrong with this logic.
Eating less ain’t going to magically fix anything.
Fat shaming them isn’t going to doing anything but make them hurt.
Why not be more helpful vs harmful. There are ways to go about to help someone rather than calling them a fat pos.
Some big people don’t ask to be big, some big people don’t want help, It ain’t your body so why do you have a say in their weight?

Their weight is none of your concern unless they are sitting on your face. 👍🏻
 
No I think you misunderstood my comments I'm not advocating for people to call them a fat pos etc

I wasn't referring to just people who are fat I mean people who are extremely obese to the point it is a danger to their life
