This was so good, I had to post it in my own journal. This quote came from a certain lj user named Kittyums:
"THE FACT IS that being fat isn't physically healthy (like smoking) and not being physically healthy or *trying* to get physically healthy is a sign of other kinds of unwellness. Avoiding that is *smart*, not shallow."
This was my reply:
Ummm, yeah... this is the girl that was over 200lbs. like 6-8 months ago, right? The one who recently changed her habits *trying* to get healthy... You know it's kind of amazing that you have the balls to bash the shit out of people who are overweight. Not because you were... but, because I thought you possessed the intelligence to realize that there are a multitude of reasons behind why people do things or choose not to do things in their lives. That said, you *might* have a little sensitivity to the emotional sides of becoming/being and staying fat. BADGERING and DEMORALIZING fat people in this venue, well... is an ASSHOLE thing to do. It is ALSO not what T is about, by any means.
Now, let's take into account the fact that you are just *recently skinny*. Good job, assuming this was a goal you set out for. But, does SKINNY constitute HEALTHY? No...certainly not. So, I will wish you continued luck amd good thoughts on your path.
For me...
I am ok where I am, I am on my path...in my opinion it is a healthy one, I hold no discontent and anger about fat people and society. I understand my past and what happened in my past relationships. I love myself, yet am committed to positive changes in my life. I believe in truth, above all else. I am a very mentally healthy person, full of love to give. I am full of desires, hopes and goals. One of which is to attain 'the balance'...this is truly my ultimate life goal. I wake and lie down directing my energies towards creating this balanced reality for myself and loved ones in my life. It is one in which people like T are commonplace and people with anger and negativity, like you readily exhibit, are not.
