No More Jolly Fats

"But I’d like to point out something to all the Fat-Shamey McDouchebags out there: If you consistently tell someone that they are worth less as a human being, that they are ugly and unfuckable, and unloveable because of something many of us can’t control, is it a big surprise when/if they do quit taking care of themselves and giving up any good habits they had? When your entire life you are surrounded by culture, peers, strangers, and even family members telling you how awful you are now, and how not awful you would be if you would just starve yourself and work your body past endurance to shape it into something that they can find attractive, is it any wonder that so many people do just give up? And wind up blaming themselves for their inability to get thin? Even though we know that 95% of people who do lose weight can’t keep it off."
