What's with all the 'accept being fat' posts today?

Dispute it all you like but it's unhealthy to be outside of the set of parameters set by healthcare authorities.
Yes you have to have a level of control and no it's not nice.
Yes I battle with it just as much as anybody else contrary to what people who meet me think;
"You don't have to worry about your weight."
"Well if you mean I'm very careful about my diet, run 40 miles a week, and I'm still a stone overweight. Yes I don't have to worry about it at all."

It is okay to [i]accept[/i] being overweight. Just don't try to say that it is healthy; that is my only gripe about it.

Accept and own the health risks just like you accept and own the fat.

I don't like when people try to overwrite well documented science with philosophical fantasy.

It's is okay to be fat. It is not healthy to be fat, but it is okay.

@Eternity I accept I may drop dead of a massive heart attack. That ain’t no fantasy.

@Keepitsimple fair enough. I hope that you do not.

Think there is a huge difference in acknowledging being overweight is unhealthy and treating overweight people as an ok target for ridicule.

People are pushing back on the people/posts doing the latter, as I see it.

If you’re not with me you’re against me. This is a loss I’ll recover from. @Starchild1983

Yeah I think we should accept the reality of ourselves & the world we live in. We shouldn't try to believe things are otherwise because that can open us up to a whole nother set of challenges.

Of course we don't need to focus on physical appearance as heavily as we do rn either because it's vain but being overweight can be a hindrance to our health & greatest potential.
