      Health & weight are two different things. If you are unhealthy and specific actions that also may lead to weight loss are suggested, go for them. The whole fat love is in response to society treating fat people like trash. Shaming people for their weight only harms, not helps.

      They are different but connected. I have several conditions caused by obesity. PCOS, pre-diabetes, painful knees, GERD, repeated UTIs. Obesity is one of the greatest causes of premature death & I have been warned that I am at high risk. Also very uncomfortable and limiting.

      I believe that people who truly care about societal health will spend their energy talking about making healthier foods available cheaper, making more public spaces that encourage exercise, increasing public transportation...

      Increasing school budgets to assist in feeding children properly and to properly equip gyms, increasing access to health care, reducing expected working time so that people have time to exercise, increasing child care availability...

      Promoting active wear that fits and supports fat people, making activities more accessible to fat and poor people, and promoting fat people being seen so that they can do the things to get themselves healthier

      Talking about ALL that instead of spending time talking about how we should shame fat people into submission. That's what people who actually care would do.

      Do you think we disagree on that? I wrote a whole thing about it & posted it for you.

      Instead of coming at me, maybe expect better from people who hide their desire to shame people and make them feel less than in the guise of "caring about health"

      Who is coming at you, you lunatic? We are criticising people who would say you are hiding your desire to shame people and make them feel less than in the guise of 'caring about health.' Maybe I'll post your tweets in some fat activism spaces so you see the problem?

      The fact that you don't understand the difference between talking about creating the space for people to get healthy versus just demanding people get healthy is problematic. Also, holy shit ableism. Goodbye.

      ??? That doesn't make any sense. I will ask you one more time to point at one thing I have said which is different from what you have said?

          I honestly cannot imagine how you kept your cool in that exchange. Well done, and well done for your commitment to getting fit. Btw, I'm sure you know but lifting is really good for weight loss, but is often overlooked in favour of cardio. Good luck!

          Is that space of healing she’s speaking about like a gym?
