Amanda Richards on Twitter: "every so often it hits me that the weight loss industry is so manipulative and toxic you can survive a global pandemic that killed millions of people and *still* be low key convinced that getting fatter during that time was somehow a bad outcome"

  I saw a billboard that was themed around pandemic weight and I wanted to do horribly violent things to whatever ad executive came up with it

  Yeah, I had some breathing issues that the specialist said I could solve by losing about 20 lbs, this was before the pandemic. I went back in, having failed to lose that weight, gained more, but it was never commented on because nearly everyone has gained weight.
