Samateverysize (who is A Fat) made a video discussing that dumbass “most ppl who lose weight gain it all back!” bullshit the fatties love to cite. It’s based on an insanely small sample size and terrible, in general, study.


But those fatties all love to quote that statistic no matter how fucking problematic the research is.

Truly a master class in scientific illiteracy.
 
I just want one of these fat activists to point out a fat person in a holocaust camp photo that remained fat after starving in striped uniforms for a year. Where are the "can't lose weight on low calories" people in those photos?
They would just say that all the fat people starved without losing weight. They are just genetically not able to metabolize fat, if they lose it they just die.

Same as normal people would die if they just the fat in their brain

The patterns for straight sizes ( 0-18 ) scale accordingly because the people wearing them still resemble humans.

Once you're outside of that, the bodies are going to vary due to fat distribution (Anna's candy juicy thighs, Jaimie's massive apron pannus, Tess's gargantuan upper arms, etc.). You can't take one pattern and make it fit all of the fatties the same. This is why most deathfat fashion = stretchy tarp.

Wear the sweatshop tarp and collect your disability checks, fatty.

You can explain to these deathfat "activists" over and over again that larger plus-sized women (anything over a 3X, and even the 3X is dodgy) are not a profitable group to cater to, and that this is why the options from a 3X on up are basically stretchy tarps. You can talk yourself blue in the face, trying to explain the practical realities of making those sizes fit as many varied types of corpulent body shapes as possible, and thus why stretchy tarps are the norm, and it's going to fall on (willfully) deaf ears.

These people will only listen to what they want to hear, and either ignore the truth, or claim it's a lie (without having any good arguments as to why it's a lie). Like spoiled children filled with envy of what the other kids have, they want what they want, and they don't want to hear about why they can't have it—their sense of entitlement runs that deep.

They don't know how clothes get designed and manufactured; they know nothing about the business and financial end of the garment industry, and they don't care to know, because knowing will still not get them the clothes they want. And they're all hooked on being seen as a marginalized, oppressed group because it absolves them of all responsibility for the state of their bodies, chalks up their social difficulties to "fatphobia" (instead of causes they have control over), and lets them occupy the moral high ground (at least in their own minds) because they are oppressed and marginalized.

Being fat and declaring that access to boundless choices of fashionable clothing is a human rights issue is patently absurd, but it's all they've got (okay, along with disability and gendershit) if they want to hustle up a spot on the oppression stack. And enough people have been stupid, and terrified of being branded some form of -phobic, to humor them. But since deathfats are so obviously self-made victims, and their arguments are so ridiculous, they've been the last group to gain a few meager, grudging oppression points, and thus are the first group to start losing them now that the social tides are shifting. But they'll keep on banging the drum for that victim narrative, because at this point it's all they know how to do.
 

I have the same problem but it's because I'm a hilarious beanpole shape. It's nigh on impossible for me to acquire clothes that fit properly, thus I tend to just wear baggy clothes as it's the only way I can ensure a t-shirt will reach from my neck to ass.

If somebody could open a shop for unusually shaped people, I'd gladly shop with the fats and the 6'4 women who have swimmer's shoulders and penises.

Gwen Shamblin was a terrible person but I always felt like she got way too much hate for saying something similar. She might have been doing it to promote her weird Jesus diet cult, but she was right.

They also won’t learn - I see so many complaints and bullying fashion and knit indie pattern designers to expand their size ranges up to insane stuff, like 60 inch waists and bust, and most have, which requires entirely separate pattern creation and new blocks. But there is still complaining, and when a designer says ‘ok, look here is the method for making each part bigger as needed, it’s a simple piece of maths or a tutorial on patterns’ it’s suddenly too hard to do. Then they complain about the cost of knitting at that size. Well yes, you require vastly more wool and it’s expensive.
Anyone who isn’t an average size in any bit (height, bust, proportions, small waist or big tots or broad back or the other multitudes of normal variation) finds clothes don’t fit and they end up finding shops that cater or they learn to adjust stuff. I’m short, and I find petite proportioned stuff a godsend because otherwise the proportions are all out. So there’s whole bits of the market I just can’t shop at and that’s fine.
 
Basic human rights? Last time I checked getting clothes that fit you weren't written into the Geneva convention.

There's options. There's always options but these fatties don't want to shop at the big and fat stores where things cost more. They want to go into a normal store and find something in their size that fits them perfectly without the need to be tailored.

And the fact is most people need their clothes tailored to make them fit right. Whether it's taking something in, letting something out, simple hemming of the pants and so on. But with these people and their overly lumpy bodies you can't just pick something off the rack. The solution? Lose the fucking weight. But no that's too hard so it's better for society to cater to them and not the majority.

Sadly tailors are a dying breed and people don't really think about them anymore unless they're having a wedding. The one we had in town that did general alterations left when the dry cleaners went out of business. I'm sure there's one in the large town an hour away, but they truly are getting hard to find. I guess super fats would probably be more aware of tailors from people telling them constantly if they're complaining online.

I found a free copy of her Weigh Down Diet book and it's not even bad advice. The gist is that you're probably overeating and eating like shit because you're bored or missing something in life. She suggests filling that missing hole with Jesus. The rest is intuitively eating whole foods instead of junk.

But the theory is correct: people binge out of boredom and loneliness or some other need not being met. You should fill that hole with valuable activities instead of food.

Gwen Shamblin's daughter, who leads the church now, looks like Eugenia Cooney (+ horrifying fillers). Gwen's son left the church and got fat.

I just watch the Way Down documentary a couple weeks ago so I've been down the rabbit hole 🤯
 
Here’s a chubby idea, Learn to sew. Make your own mumus, caftans, bernoose, body tents.
Right? What is easier than a fucking kaftan? But they would be surprised with the sheer amount of fabric needed. Somehow that would be fatphobic too.
"WHADDA YA MEAN 6 METRES OF COTTON IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN 3?! REEEEEEEEE"

Yep. The Gulf states (after oil boom) got surprisingly fat very very fast. But, no complaining really about fashion access. Designs are pretty loose and designed for coverage. Watched a documentary on anti-obesity efforts in one of these places, and it was refreshing seeing the individuals recognize a problem and not bitch about how they need more clothes instead. Take note, Shira.

The daughter (Elizabeth) has some pretty obvious issues:

Those aren't cherry-picked bad images (though I just grabbed them from image search). Even the ones on the church website are nightmarish.

Not really on-topic, I realize, but it's interesting to see what happens when you over-internalize dieting vs anti-dieting messaging. It's a lesson in avoiding extremes.
