What are your thoughts on this saying?

Do you think it's dangerous?

Do you think that it's worse than "love your body no matter what"?

Does the positive body image of overweight people contribute to harmful eating habits much like body shaming does?

Can anyone honestly deny that losing excess weight makes (s)he feel better about her/himself?

Do you approve or disapprove of the images of overweight people with a plethora of supportive comments telling her that she's beautiful?

Is that better than the likes and heart-eye emojis that uber skinny girls get on their photos?

Discuss.

I had the same body image whether I was a size 3 or I was a size 14. Bad.

But when I became HEALTHY and thin, THAT was a game changer. I realized iy was the food I was eating when I was thin and not (it was the same food during both phases) was what was making me feel like shit.



So I would modify the phrase to "Nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels"


This!

I still see myself as I was at my largest. Am I super skinny? Nope and I never will be, I have curves, I have boobs, did I feel better when I was eating healthier? Sure..

My issue with "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" it can be harmful to the teenagers or adults that have body dysmorphia and eating disorders.

I have body image issues, even when I got to a size 8 I saw myself as a size 24/26... triple my size that I actually was.

I never truly felt skinny.

It's a matter of opinion.



Agree to disagree if you don't agree.
Meh

That's boring and not much of a discussion.

I want to hear real thoughts.

Those are my real thoughts.

But it's not really saying anything.

Are you in support of the "celebrate your body no matter what" (particularly if your body doesn't conform to society's standard of beautiful, I.e. Skinny) movement? Or do you think that's just as harmful (if not more) than "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"?

I agree and disagree.

No I don't think it's necessarily dangerous.

I don't support fat shaming but I also don't support the blind body positivity that's trendy now.

They can be treated with kindness and respect while still encouraging them to be healthier.
What would that balance look like in the media?

Because you are more likely to read an article about how someone is "addicted" to working out than you are to read about someone obese having bad eating habits.

You're jumping to conclusions.



How do you automatically come to the conclusion that that saying causes harm? There's nothing wrong with being skinny. Plenty of people are naturally skinny.



You sound biased and like you want to hear people basically validate your contempt for a harmless phrase that most likely triggers your own insecurities.



That saying is someone's opinion. That's all it is. No one cares when a hefty girl blatantly attacks and puts down thinner body types, but this phrase causes controversy? Bullshit.

You're missing the entire point of this thread. I am POSING THE QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION. I never actually stated which "side" I was on.

So, you think the wildly popular (not someONE's opinion) that nothing tastes better than skinny is harmless.

So do you think that promoting self-love is a good way to combat negative body image? What about practicality? Is it really fair to tell people how wonderful they are when they clearly are at risk of serious health issues down the line?

We could have a taste of it and still be skinny. It's the lack of self control that makes us fat.

I just got back from a trip with my cousin, who recently lost 150lbs with diet and exercise. She looks good but still has a ways to go. I realized by day 3 that she will never hit her goal weight unless she has major psychotherapy. i watched her eat anything and everything in sight. Buffets 3 times a day with 5 desserts after each meal followed by a trip to the store for candy bars. A McDonalds large value meal with 2 extra sandwiches to go. Pizza....a massive amount of pizza and it wasn't even good pizza. It's a mental health issue.

I'm a stress binge eater myself so I understand. Luckily I don't get stressed that much and have a fast metabolism or I could easily be overweight.

You only eat a meal like that before a day of chopping wood, changing tires, and other assorted manly things to work it off.

Also, bourbon acts like a detergent in the blood and prevents the cholesterol from clinging to your arteries.

Lol! Most Americans definitely don't get that sort of physical labor in (unless they hardcore go to the gym.) The amount of protein the general population consumes to the amount of work they actually do is wholly disproportionate. Some think that you'll die if you skip a meal. Try explaining intermittent fasting. YIKES!

Vegan lasagna is my next kitchen pet-project.

This is a great thread!

Some would say that having an obese child is abuse. I wouldn't call it that. I just see the parents as pushovers. They don't want their children to be unhappy or upset so they give them anything they want.

In other cases, it's a lack of education. Maybe they don't realize that hamburger helper and Doritos are an unhealthy dinner option.

You know, that is actually an EXCELLENT point.

You just made me think of something: why doesn't society treat eating disorders (in the over-eating sense) as they would treat, say, alcoholism? Like you said, over-eating IS an addiction. People don't just look at an alcoholic and say, "Well, just stop drinking so much then!" So why do we do it to people who over-eat and assume that they can just stop?

Hearing the progress your cousin has made is inspiring. Also, I think doctors don't know nearly enough about nutrition.

Skinny feels great, if i could lose even more i would..but I dont want to loose the baby fat on my cheeks..and look like a skeleton

But it feels great when you try on clothes
Lift (if you don't already)

You my will lose more fat without looking gaunt. The treadmill and all that other cardio is what creates that worn out look.
But by lifting you get the muscles, muscles wouldnt look as attractive imo

I tell people that all the time and agree with it 100% .

What am I gonna do? Eat a burger and enjoy it for 10 mins? Or not eat the burger and enjoy my fierce body and all the clothes that look good on me?

Option 2 plz.
I eat the burger minus a few things that some people find "important", plus some things that some people find are more fattening, enjoy the burger and still stay thin. No more exercise than walking. It's a doable thing.

I don't think even I would make a habit over a meal like that.

As it is we've been continuously cutting​ animal products from our diet. I feel so much better the further we go along.

I still love steak and bacon and cheese though. I'll never be able to give them up 100%
click to expand

Is it crazy to say that I am proud of you? I'm not arrogant enough to take credit for your choices, but I feel a sense of pride in you. I'll understand if you're grossed out.

I had to conduct a persuasive speech for college, and I chose the topic of plant-based diets being the answer to our heath, environmental, and ethical problems. I made it a point to not include any graphic imagery throughout my presentation (which, in its own way, had a powerful effect.)

A few days later, I had classmates come up to me and tell me how they've substituted almond milk for dairy milk or that they ordered the veg option off the menu.

Baby steps is how it all starts. Cheese is VERY hard to quit (way harder than actual meat) due to the casein. I basically went cold veggie turkey and fasted from cheese for a couple of weeks straight. It was VERY hard at first. Before I knew it, I don't crave it anymore.

I think self love is important no matter what body weight. You can be a size zero and hate yourself or a size 32 and hate yourself.

There is a way to give constructive feedback that stays positive but still gets the message across that what they are doing is not good for them.

Pretty sure most people that are larger NOWS they are. It's not usually from lack of just not caring. Many have health issues, I have hoshimotos thyroid disease. My body destroyed my thyroid. It took me a long time to love myself again. I was small as a kid , thick in high school, normal then bam my health took a nosedive.

If I'm blessed to have a child, of course I will help guide them to healthy eating, they are predisposed to having the same as me, it's genetic.

To me there is something beautiful about a person that has self love and it just shines.

Depends on the metabolism. I already screwed mine up in HS. But to be honest I don't feel like I'm missing out on much. I indulge very rarely and don't even like it much. If you get full before you get a chance to get hungry or get cravings you don't have much of a problem with wanting bread and stuff

click to expand

Actually it doesn't really depend in metabolism. I'm hypothyroid so my metabolism is pretty much shot. I do take meds, but I have to eliminate a good deal of food that people consider "healthy" to keep my body from destroying itself. The right balance of fats, animal protein, and vegetables is all you need.

Not just for weight but to keep healthy.

I'll occasionally have some potatoes or bread, but it's rare.

I'm a stress binge eater myself so I understand. Luckily I don't get stressed that much and have a fast metabolism or I could easily be overweight.
It's not always about self control though. I barely eat and can still gain weight if my medications are not at the correct levels.

I don't like fat ppl.

I eat heaps and work my ass off everyday.

Ppl are starving in the world and it pisses me off to see a fat lazy fuck sitting on a bench bytching about the heat when it's only 32.

When it gets to 40 you don't see any fatties out in public.

Or maybe they're in their air conditioned cars cruising the drive through.


What is sad is that American culture used to be all about fitness and health. I watch old movies or clips of old leaders, and people were predominantly in shape (even the movie extras.) But it was just so much easier to be in shape because our food source wasn't so poisoned. Then, come the fast food "devolution," and everyone has access to garbage "food."

One of the things my two obese co-workers say to me when we are ordering lunch and I go for the healthier options is "well, I just love food." Well, so do I. That's why I try to eat it as little processed as possible.

Although I'm not overweight, I still will try not to eat bad food just because I can get away with it. It's a matter of principle, I think. It seems hypocritical to me to judge someone overweight for eating garbage when I, myself, consume it, too.

It's exciting times, though. More and more people are sick of being unhealthy. And they are waking up to the truth: you can't effectively treat health problems without address diet.

We could have a taste of it and still be skinny. It's the lack of self control that makes us fat.

I just got back from a trip with my cousin, who recently lost 150lbs with diet and exercise. She looks good but still has a ways to go. I realized by day 3 that she will never hit her goal weight unless she has major psychotherapy. i watched her eat anything and everything in sight. Buffets 3 times a day with 5 desserts after each meal followed by a trip to the store for candy bars. A McDonalds large value meal with 2 extra sandwiches to go. Pizza....a massive amount of pizza and it wasn't even good pizza. It's a mental health issue.

Another EXCELLENT point. There IS the stereotype (and I am guilty of it, too) of judging people's health/weight as being entirely their fault. One of my professors is overweight and is a Type 1 diabetic. Her meds contribute to all kinds of hormonal effects that influences her body weight. She says she gets comments from people (who don't know the different between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes) and tell her she has diabetes because she is overweight. *facepalm*

I tell people that all the time and agree with it 100% .

What am I gonna do? Eat a burger and enjoy it for 10 mins? Or not eat the burger and enjoy my fierce body and all the clothes that look good on me?

Option 2 plz.
I eat the burger minus a few things that some people find "important", plus some things that some people find are more fattening, enjoy the burger and still stay thin. No more exercise than walking. It's a doable thing.


How often do you eat meat (assuming you are not talking about veg burgers)?

I eat beef every day. Burgers specifically once or twice a month. My meal plan has to incorporate veg, fat, and animal protein of some kind at every meal.

Depends on the metabolism. I already screwed mine up in HS. But to be honest I don't feel like I'm missing out on much. I indulge very rarely and don't even like it much. If you get full before you get a chance to get hungry or get cravings you don't have much of a problem with wanting bread and stuff


Actually it doesn't really depend in metabolism. I'm hypothyroid so my metabolism is pretty much shot. I do take meds, but I have to eliminate a good deal of food that people consider "healthy" to keep my body from destroying itself. The right balance of fats, animal protein, and vegetables is all you need.

Not just for weight but to keep healthy.

I'll occasionally have some potatoes or bread, but it's rare.

True. There can be thyroid or hereditary issues as well, but I think a good percentage is emotional eating.

Well I'm happy you found a balance that is healthy and works for you. ❤️ But I do believe we are all different with different genes and stuff. I know people who can eat anything, drink loads of hard liquor and not even get a puffy face. I know people who can have a slice of pizza and literally be a pound heavier afterwards on the scale. For me personally, I like to be long and super lean and for me to keep that up I have to eat a certain way.

For some reason my body has no problem staying lean with sugary beverages, ice cream and stuff like that but as soon as I eat a piece of bread or a slice of steak my tummy bloats. Just gotta figure out what works for you and the body you want and go with that imo

LOL, I was the same way for a lot of years. It eventually catches up with you.

Moderation is good, as long as you can control what's in the food you eat. Processed food is all loaded with sugar, so even if you think you're controlling how much you eat, you aren't.

And this isn't just about weight, it's about health. Lots of skinny people (like Mr Aqua) are actually not healthy at all.

Skinny feels great, if i could lose even more i would..but I dont want to loose the baby fat on my cheeks..and look like a skeleton

But it feels great when you try on clothes
Lift (if you don't already)

You my will lose more fat without looking gaunt. The treadmill and all that other cardio is what creates that worn out look.
But by lifting you get the muscles, muscles wouldnt look as attractive imo



That's one of the biggest mistakes women make while losing weight.



Believing that lifting is going to bulk them up too much or make them look "manly".



It actually stops your body from eating away at muscle. That's the last thing you want.
I'm too bulky these days

I'm the same, but no sugary drinks (I have blood sugar regulation problems which is a new thing since I got sick). I've been able to really cut back on the chips though because they make me feel weird now.

Everything in the media is an extreme.

Keeping your body at a reasonable weight for

YOUR OWN body type is imperative, but the

bullshit slogans are just that, and typically a

mindf**k, to boot.




It amazes me how few people consider how weight looks so differently on different body frames.
click to expand


Right?

It goes further than just appearance.

Friend of mine has a daughter who is 5'11.

My little brother (6'3) -- his jaw dropped looking

at a pic of her (fbook, bikini lol)... she is

perfection.

However, when she joined the military, they told

her that according to the BMI scale, she was

obese... OBESE!

She wasn't even a little chubby... it was absurd.

You all just reminded me to buy discount chocolate

Not a chips guy but discount + chocolate = hard to resist

You know my pet peeve with veggies is they never go on sale



Good point.

It's a lot cheaper to eat junk.

My son loves grapes. They are usually $ 3.99/lb. I spend $ 15 weekly just on grapes.

But chips are usually but 2 get 3 free so I can get 5 family sized bags of chips for $ 12.

16oz bottle of water is $ 1.69 but the 2 liter of Pepsi is $ 1.

I tell people that all the time and agree with it 100% .

What am I gonna do? Eat a burger and enjoy it for 10 mins? Or not eat the burger and enjoy my fierce body and all the clothes that look good on me?

Option 2 plz.
I eat the burger minus a few things that some people find "important", plus some things that some people find are more fattening, enjoy the burger and still stay thin. No more exercise than walking. It's a doable thing.



Depends on the metabolism. I already screwed mine up in HS. But to be honest I don't feel like I'm missing out on much. I indulge very rarely and don't even like it much. If you get full before you get a chance to get hungry or get cravings you don't have much of a problem with wanting bread and stuff


Actually it doesn't really depend in metabolism. I'm hypothyroid so my metabolism is pretty much shot. I do take meds, but I have to eliminate a good deal of food that people consider "healthy" to keep my body from destroying itself. The right balance of fats, animal protein, and vegetables is all you need.

Not just for weight but to keep healthy.

I'll occasionally have some potatoes or bread, but it's rare.


I still struggle with the potatoes.. but it's getting better 🙂


White sweet potatoes and mashed cauliflower with butter. 🙂


TY! will try those.. been switching towards a more low carb eating pattern.. but still havent found the right nitch for me.
I stumbled on an outrageously yummy AIP hash that I've been eating for lunch the last few weeks. I'm trimming down pretty quickly. You can PM me if you're interested.


What's AIP?

Autoimmune Protocol. It's a variation of Paleo that eliminates certain Paleo friendly food to stop inflammation and to identify food sensitivities. Ideally you do the elimination phase for 30-60 days and then reintroduce in a very regimented way. Ultimately you end up with a modified version of the diet which is more like Paleo but restricts foods that you reacted to during the reintro phase.

It's very strict. I'm not doing it, but I'm pretty close already.
