I am heavy and I still say that it is unhealthy to be overweight…..this does not mean I advocate fat shaming…… but it is not healthy to be overweight.

Guess what, no one gives a shit if you're thin or fat, saying "I'm fat and I say" does not give what you have to say any more credibility than if you were thin with the same statement. Realize, that what you said "it is not healthy to be overweight" is inaccurate. People can be fat and be healthy just as people can be thin and be unhealthy.

Do some research instead of just parroting what you hear from sources heavily invested in our diet culture. Studies done by institutions that aren't linked to the diet industry and big pharma show that people's exercise activities plays the biggest factor in health, not their weight. And that people who exercise regularly are generally healthy, regardless of if the individual is thin or fat. 

And on a more personal note - I've been fat my entire life, I eat as healthy as I can with lots of veg and fruit and little meat, and exercise regularly, and I'm very healthy. My grandmother is in her 70s and has been obese for over 50 years and is one of the healthiest people in my family. 

Go be a media brainwashed parrot elsewhere, we're done shoveling your shit today. 

Mikayla here sent me a good rant in light of this talk of concern trolling and she’s absolutely right. what should shut down all this discussion is one: it’s not your business and two: regardless of why a person is fat they deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and decency. that means keeping your nose out of their private matters, ie health and lifestyle, in this case. it is literally no one’s business aside from that particular individual. end of story.

Much love for all the awesome visible fatties. We all know being fat and unashamed in our current culture puts a big target on us -and I hope you guys know how much you are helping to change lives for the better. I love you guys for being highly visible and I hate that you have to deal with trolls because of it. I know what you are doing is for the good of all of us who don't fit into society's mold of what they think we should look like. Visible fatties risk sanity points every day, just for being unashamed of themselves or their bodies. I love you guys so much for helping to make things better for the rest of us. You are amazing, beautiful, and brave.
