🍗 Deathfat Fat Acceptance Movement / Fat Girlcows

[StarkRavingMad]

New video up by Anna. At 8:20 she talks about a man following her around Disneyland. She also mentions feeling judged because of her size and how she can't buy an extra large sweatshirt. https://youtube.com/watch?v=3GACJIQqH0g

She looked almost excited to be telling the people watching that video that she was "discriminated against" because they didn't have a shirt that fit her very large body. I don't know, if I was truly upset about something, my first instinct wouldn't be to grab the camera and record myself WHILE STILL IN THE STORE to complain. People these days just LOVE to play the victim, and it's so easy to see right through it.

"They acted like I was asking for something impossible." Because you were. You're huge, Anna ... Abnormally huge even by average standards among overweight people. Not many people are your size.

it's refreshing to see that this stupidity is for the most part limited to the states where it originated and that some people still have the spine to tell it like it is even if it means hurting someones feelings. in most countries you'd get laughed at for mentioning there are more than two genders, fat acceptance, and whatever else these crazy people come up with on the daily basis.

Fatties getting knee replacement think it's a cure all, more at 10. Ugh. So stupid.

Out of joint: When knee replacements bring pain and regret

Of course, she could have done what seriously crafty punks do when you're a Large and the almost sold-out band shirt you want is only available in a Small, or when your boyfriend wants a design that is only available on women's shirts: buy the smaller size, cut out the design, and stitch it (with whatever embellishments you may desire) onto a shirt that actually fits. (Petite girls have it made when the only size left is men's XXXL, because you can make a cute af dress from a huge t-shirt.) Or, she could have bought two men's XL shirts and cut and sewed them together into a larger garment, and had a second logo to put on the back, or use in any way she liked. She could even have hand-sewn it on the long flight home, and stepped off the plane wearing her evidence that she'd been to Shanghai Disney, if she wanted it that badly.

Those are some really neat ideas. If Anna genuinely had a more than superficial interest in clothing maybe she could have done something creative along these lines.

You know, while there are a lot of things about Anna that are repellent, sad, or just plain annoying, one of the things that bugs me the most is that her entire hobby-career-persona is based on bingeing on fashion the way that she binges on food. It's two sides of the same coin, the mindless, voracious consumption that seems to be her only source of pleasure in life. Does she wear anything she buys more than once or twice?

 

[JambledUpWords]

Does she wear anything she buys more than once or twice?

Probably not, as she is most-likely gaining weight. Her clothes still look too small in some of her hauls, which certainly means that she is buying clothes too small or has sized out of the largest sizes. I believe it’s a combination of both reasons.

To be fair to the girl in the article, the pain was initially caused because she had been physically attacked and when the pain started she lost the weight which unfortunately didn't help (as the pain wasn't entirely due to her weight most likely)
But I agree, too many people just get bandaid procedures instead of focusing on the root issue which is their damn weight. I can't put the entirety of the blame on either side but when you have to get a bunch of invasive procedures to help yourself, isn't it just better to put down the fork? Even if you believe exaggerated claims of how it will help, it's still a big surgery

Yeah, I remember in the video where she frantically tried on jeans to show that she wasn't lying about sizing, she was uncomfortably squeezing into some 20s and 22s (and 24s didn't always fit, either). She's definitely gained since then, so a large chunk of her ridiculous wardrobe must be unwearable now.

I like clothes a lot, but sizing out of things the way she does would be depressing. For most people, it would be a wake-up call to lose weight, but not in her case. It’s so wasteful too.

Honestly she's such a wreck: An unemployed compulsive overeater and binge drinker who hoards clothes in a shitbox apartment that probably costs (her dad) $3K a month.

I feel like we will watch her die within the next few years. Her sister must have been relatively young and these same behaviors killed her.

These are people who talk about their bodies not as something that is a part of them but some seperate entity they just reside in and can't really control. It just makes sense to them that they can just fix their bodies by swapping parts like a machine.

In actuality, they have no idea how painful the procedure is and that to stand a chance of it ever being succesful, they need to go through months of rigourous physiotherapy and occupational therapy. Doctors know that it is pointless to operate on people that are too heavy and will just wreck their knees again.

I wonder if she at least clears closet space and recoups a little cash by selling her too-small but miraculously un-wrecked clothes on Ebay, or local buy-sell-trade sites. She buys so many fucking clothes, and a lot of it's cheap shit that would probably cost too much to return.

But she's exactly the type who would just throw away anything she's damaged, or is bored with, because if she doesn't want it or see a use for it, why would anybody else? She's that self-absorbed.

Since both her mother and sister were both obese and both died prematurely, Anna may, on some level, feel like she's doomed anyway, no matter what she does. Reversing her level of obesity and the toll it's already taken on her health is going to be a long, difficult process, full of sacrifices, and would require her to develop a level of self-discipline she doesn't already have. And there's no guarantee it would work; she could make a serious effort, lose 100, 200 or more pounds, and still die because her body's just too wrecked to save.

And if that's the case, rather than face those feelings, and at least try to take care of herself, she's just said, "Fuck it," and is determined to go out in an orgy of food, booze, new clothes, foreign vacations, and YouTube/SM attention. Maybe, by getting enough attention from internet strangers for her impulsive fatgirl antics, the world will actually notice when she inevitably dies, and miss her, and her life won't have been a complete waste.

Another thing about joint replacements: they have a limited lifespan. If you get a knee replaced, the artificial joint is only going to last 20-30 years, depending upon the stresses it's subjected to.

So if you know you will eventually need joint replacement, it's in your best interests to do everything you can to postpone the first surgery as long as possible, which includes losing weight.

It used to be that most people who got hip or knee replacements did so in their 60s or 70s, and died before they could outlive their new joints. Getting a knee replaced at 40 because you're obese and have wrecked it by being 100+ pounds heavier than you should means you'll have to undergo the same surgery again at around age 60--assuming a best-case scenario in which you don't end up with complications that require surgical revision.

She buys the cheapest, flimsiest clothes imaginable. Even if she didn’t get too fat to wear them they are probably only good for one or two wears tops. She buys fabrics that can’t be washed and who’s going to pay $25 to dry clean a $9 shirt?

It looks like she ruins half the clothes by stretching and pulling to get them on. I’m betting she just cuts herself out of a lot clothes.

I figure clothes are pretty much disposable for her. I can’t recall ever seeing her wear anything quality but then again most high quality clothes don’t come in sizes that large. It’s all single stitched polyester crap straight from China, stuff just a bit more durable than kleenx.

It's sad because Anna used to have a fitness blog. It seemed like she was losing weight and getting healthy. She gave all that up to just become another fat activist on instagram.

I think it's pretty rampant in the UK and Canada as well, though the UK has a few people like Katie Hopkins who aren't afraid to be "mean" (i.e. honest). I'd be very curious to know how it is in non-English-speaking countries since I only watch/read media in English.

Slightly :late: I know but:

People will laugh you out of the room in most parts of Asia and some parts of Europe (like Russia, Germany, etc) if you try to bring up FA stuff around them. The reasons for this vary but it usually comes down to a cultural difference: in these places, the community is valued over the individual, so someone who's clearly just a drain/an XL mouth to feed will be looked down on because they are thought to be bringing everyone around them down, too.

That's how and why there it is justifiable among the Japanese that their government imposes a "fat tax" for everyone over a certain waist measurement, because they see it in the way that these people have made a personal choice that makes them cost more in healthcare, transportation, etc., a cost that comes out of everyone else's pockets.

America, Canada, and the UK, however, are hyper-individualist, which is where the gender and HAES stuff comes from, because personal worth is measured directly on how different and special you are from everyone else, and helping others in the society/doing your part is devalued. This is why just mentioning that it might be a bad thing to be fat is seen as a huge affront, because the individual's choices are weighed so much more heavily over everything else--"perfect just the way you are". If you think someone should change themselves, you might as well want them dead.

Here's a video about what Japanese people think is fat (note that all or maybe all but one of these body types are considered very skinny or an "unreachable ideal" in America, even the ones on the bottom row):

These pictures illustrate how much weight Anna has gained and how much she has aged in just a few years.

June 2015 versus August 2018

Of course she was still fat in the first pic, but now she's "gawk and take pictures" fat.

 

[thejackal]

Can one of our fashionistas estimate those thighs? Like, she has 33" thighs, right? JFC.

I'm not a fashionista but I am good at math. You were close:
img removed over hosting concerns--some basic math I did in ms paint to find the circumference of her leg, which ended up about 40" around
The camera angle is low and she's bending both her legs so there is a bit of a margin of error here but I don't feel like doing the trigonometry to get it more exact than this. Answer is: her thigh is really big.

 

[Lunete]

I'm sure it is.
