FAT SHAME

You don't encourage people to take care of their body by telling them to hate it. They have to love the shit out of it first.

VIDEO SUMMARY
In this video I talk about fat shame and 3 ways to push back against it. The first way is to stop viewing/using "fat" as a bad word. The second way is to get real about what it means to be healthy & to own up to using "health" as an excuse to continue to fat shame. The third way is to love your body.

Being fat not only is unhealthy but it is ugly. I know a bunch of you are going to see this comment and be like "your so dumb" but being overly fat is just disgusting. Laci isnt overly fat and im attracted to her for sure but people that are overly fat are just gross and they shouldnt allow themselves to get that gross. I dont care what anybody says its so disgusting and makes me uncomfortable to see people that just walk around with there stomach fat stuff in their jeans. THat is not okay atall

sorry but there are at least 40 chicks at my school that are 600 lbs+ its a problem and it annoying trying to walk through the hallways and your stuck behind a pod of whales refusing to move.

Which as you can see, is why you'll never, ever see Laci dating a fat guy. 'cause that's just gross.

[Stepherica3364]

Laci, you are the best!

"why is society such a big f***ing bully?" HAAHAHA, fantastic way to phrase that, and fantastic question to ask ourselves.

Also some bodies function better with more "fat". Some people aren't meant to be stick thin.

The average stranger on the street doesn't care about your health but here you are helping almost 500K strangers. If I say I care about someone's health, I mean it. But I don't worry about people with some fat. I worry about fat people. People who order a pizza to themselves and wash it down with a liter of soda. THAT is unhealthy. Food portions are ridiculous here in the US. Love yourself. ALWAYS. Love yourself enough to know how much is too much.
