philthyasphuck said: I'm sure you hate me right now. I don't think anyone should hate themselves, however, everyone needs to be aware of health consequences. Example, I know smoking weed everyday has totally fucked my memory and, sometimes it's harder to breath. I don't care, and I'm gonna keep doing it, but I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that isn't a consequence of smoking, because it is. Likewise, if someone in thin or heavy, fine by me, I don't care, but we can't pretend those health issues don't exist.

I dont know a single fat person who isn’t aware of heath issues. I am blasted with ot daily. I have my own concerns but they are MINE and they are not public. This is not an issue that involves “we” until someone comes to you and says something along the lines of ” hey can you help me with ways to manage my weight”. Until then commentary and especially public commentary is not necessary. Weight is acknowledged in every facet of a fat persons life. Loving ourselves, enjoying ourselves is not ignorance. It would be so awesome if people would stop equating fat with dumb. I promise, its covered - no one is ignoring the elephant in the room. The elephant is also very aware it is in a room and that it is an elephant. Everyone can go back to minding their own fucking body issues.
