She said some people misinterpreted her story and thought she was trying to promote obesity, which she is not. She said she is trying to raise awareness about discrimination based on size.

I'm definitely not trying to promote stupidity. I just want to stop discrimination against the not very smart.


For University of Iowa student Robert LeBeau, 21, the demonstration was all about fairness.

Yep, we'll have a talk with gravity, and the laws of thermodynamics, and explain to them why they are unfair.

It's hard for me to think of someone I have less sympathy for than a fat girl protesting for her right to be an attention whore.

That's the logical disconnect they have. They're not being denied due to appearance, they're being denied due to the fact they represent unhealthy choices.

I've been enormously fat and now I'm not, and the process of losing 130 lbs involved eating MORE and exercising far LESS than I did when I was gigantic. Low carb was the key, not calorie reduction for me because that's how my metabolism/intestinal fauna is geared to work. It's starting to look like there is huge variation in humans about what diet does or does not make them heavy and medical science's idiotic one size fits all advice is actually counter productive

Darth_Lukecash: Im 10 pounds overweight . I've been as high as 25 pounds. It's a struggle for me, because of many issues. Depression, work scedual and more.

I don't see how your angry rant undermines the fundamental concept of:

"Want to lose weight? Stop eating lots of stuff that causes you to gain weight."

It's one thing to do the Freshman 15 in college and then figure out how to put the brakes on that. It's another thin to reach the point where you need to drop 130, that shows long term negligence regarding the problem.

the bar cannot let you endanger yourself or other patrons simply because "I WANNA DAAAAANNNCCEEEEEE!"

'Kroon said she thinks it's important to stand up for people who others are trying to pressure into silence.

"She's a human being, she deserves respect, and I'm proud of her for standing up to the bad treatment she has received," Kroon said.'

No one "deserves" respect just for being a human being. That is entirely antithetical to the whole concept of respect. In fact, I might argue that taking such an idiotic stance on this issue precludes the possibility of respect entirely.

Here's another vote for the calorie tracking. I got one of these:



And it becomes a simple numbers game. You can eat more on days when you're more active, or you can try and keep the calorie in/out spread as wide as possible.

Bonus? Leave it on for sex (or yanking it, or muffin crushing) and you can tally up sexytime calories. You'd be amazed what you can burn off.

People see thin people eating less and exercising more and assume that eating less and exercising more caused them to be thin. While in reality, it's that being thin made them eat less and exercise more.

Our entire science of diet and diseases is based on statistical correlation data and lots of idiots assuming causation in many cases and giving medical advice based on that.

Low-carb does seem to be a very effective solution but there are still a lot of low-carb permutations. Saturated fats, grains, legumes are still debated. Some assume it's the fructose that's the culprit while others say glucose is essential while others says entire carbs are unnecessary.

Why does "sizeism" automatically mean discrimination against fat people?

What about discrimination against tall, short, or skinny people?

True fact: Short people in general like women are consistently under paid and under promoted in comparison to tall men.

Wouldn't a better name be obeasiphobia?

Foxxinnia: You guys just have THIN PRIVILEGE. Thins benefit greatly from their hetero-normative position in the patriarchy. They get preferred hiring, they get bullied less, and they pay less for clothing. Thin people don't get told their body is 'a disease.' Before you say, 'Hey get thin' you need to check your privilege.

/search Tumblr for "thin privilege"
//that site is full of retards

You sound fat.

30 protesters? Just think, if they get 20 more to join them they could be as big as 'occupy'.

There's already a term for it, its called cetaphobia.

I thought this was for ladies like Madame Maxime

So because one douchebag bartender was an asshole and wouldn't let the princess dance on his rickety bar, this suddenly becomes a "size discrimination" issue for which we're all somehow to blame?

You're not even that big, sweetheart. There are enormously overweight people who genuinely get discriminated against because they're huge whales; but you're not in that category. You just got picked on by one dumbass man who likes coatracks with tits and lips.

Grow a spine, realize that some people are dicks, and move on with your life.

If only one could become white via diet and exercise

I'm guilty. I used to be in an industry that required lots of standing and walking. Whenever a fatty came in to interview I'd run through the questions as fast as I could and get them the hell out of there. No sense in setting somebody up for failure.
/ most if the true fatties couldn't even keep up with me on the walk back to the office. I hated that. You want the damn job? KEEP UP.

HairBolus:

As a tall white man, I'm getting a kick.

That being said, I like my girls on the thicker side. Not only am I more physically attracted to them (I like having a little something to grab on to), they are usually a little more down to earth than the infantile, superficial little Barbie wannabes. Been there, done that, life's too short to spend it with a child.

And that being said, I don't know that any of my thicker girls would want to dance up on the pole at a club. Most people, myself included, really don't want to see that. Not that I don't many different kinds of women sexy, but there are people who should be doing that, and people who shouldn't. It's no big deal. That biatch just needs to go be fat somewhere else, for once this is the correct place to say it!

/And this is a repeat from Monday

MoronLessOff: pxlboy: cheap_thoughts: As a land whale myself, I applaud her efforts. While my physical fitness is probably better than most peoples (who probably have to be at the gym in 26 minutes), my metabolic disorder (shut up, it's real, look up PCOS) makes weight loss a slow, seemingly impossible process. So while some people are on the bigger side, not all of us deserve the ridicule or stigma attached. I'm capable of doing anything and everything a thinner person does, and probably better too!

Gotta go! MY CAT WANTS SNUGGLES

I shouldn't, but how *you* doin'?

I thought the same thing, but since you broke the ice...

How you doin'?

To me or her?

Oh fark me running.

Really? REALLY?? "Sizeism" "Plus Sized" and all that are stupid. YOU. ARE. FAT.

I used to be a fat bastard until my heart freaked out and I decided to put down the soda and donuts and actually walk around instead of sitting all damn day in my desk and work and when I got home. It's hard to do, really damned hard and honestly unless you have dropped a crap ton of weight safely (none of that dehydration and surgical mess) you won;t understand.

I can and usually do sympathize with others about people being mean because you're nasty tub of lard, I really can.

However, if you're a nasty tub of lard because of anything else but a documented medical reason then you are mostly to blame for being treated like crap. You have the power to change yourself at any age and only your general ambition and drive set the limits. I had to completely change my lifestyle, including a career of 20+ years and my first marriage to drop over 200 lbs, and if my lazy ass can do it ...
... ANY-FARKING-ONE can.

I've been scrawny my entire life due to a serious medical condition. Nobody has any problem calling me "Slim" or "Stretch" or mocking me endlessly about my size. It's obnoxious. Meanwhile if I countered with anything derogatory about their porcine appearance I'm the worst person ever. I don't care if you're fat but if you want to start making fun of my stature you'd better be able to take what you give.

I had friend who was MERCILESS with the skinny jokes. It was all in good fun but one day I decided to toss a few comments back at him about being bald and chubby (he wasn't even that chubby). He f*cking LOST it and actually pushed me. That was hilarious. After he was done pouting he realized how foolish his little tantrum was and started laughing with me.

Foxxinnia: they get bullied less

As someone who was bullied, and whose mother was bullied by a neighbor for being "too skinny," I fart in that blog's general direction.

So if they let her dance on the stage and the stage broke, she would be suing. Ok. Makes perfect sense. This doesn't sound like size discrimination. It sounds like a club owner who understands the limits of his commercial insurance coverage.

Hunter_S_Thompson: they are usually a little more down to earth than the infantile, superficial little Barbie wannabes. Been there, done that, life's too short to spend it with a child.

There's never a mid-ground with fatties. If you're not into land whales, you must be into coat hangers that act like Barbie dolls. No one's just normal.

Wow. So that's what someone with a stick wedged firmly up their ass looks like. Good to know.

i kind of hope the boys & girls who recognize her on the college campus let her know she bites the big one in many ways. she really does define 'attention whore'.

if college girl needs a fat old farker to throw her the sex stick to put her in a better mood and make her feel better about herself i will volunteer to take one (or many) for the team. i really miss sex. badly.

Foxxinnia: they pay less for clothing

Yeah, I'm always amazed at how much more it costs for an XXL t-shirt than a small.

No, that dress doesn't make you look fat. The cheesecake, chips, beer, second helpings, and cheesesteaks you keep cramming down your throat are what makes you look fat.

Mugato: Man On A Mission: By sticking with the calorie goal (2,100 a day),

Damn, I could never eat that much in one day. What do you mainline entire liquefied chickens?

If you eat three meals a day it's really not that hard. A dinner is going to be 500-800 calories depending on how big it is. A bowl of cereal is like 500 calories for 2% milk. A light sandwich with just a couple slices of turkey/ham and a condiment is going to be 300-400. That's like 1300-1700 right there, assuming you eat nothing else and drink only water. And if you're of a normal body weight and average height, you're probably going to want to eat something else, since you'd probably burn about that many calories just by sitting around all day.

2,100 really isn't a lot, even if you're only 20 pounds overweight. I don't know how small and thin you are, but the 2k kcal number is for males of like 5'10" height and 180 lbs. weight and it's not that hard to get there.

It's easy to stay under or at 2k kcal if you cut the snacks and sweet drinks like soda, but most people have trouble with that.

/a whole chicken is probably like 1,200 calories

As a former very large person.. yes sizeism sucks.. I've only been promoted like 4 times since I lost a bunch of weight.. I'm no longer shunned by an entire gender.. only mostly shunned.... but unlike being black (unless your mIchael jackson).. isn't something you can really change by eating less reeses peanut butter cups.

Man On A Mission: Downloaded a calorie app to my phone and discovered I was way off in my estimates.

By sticking with the calorie goal (2,100 a day), I was able to drop 10 pounds in five weeks. No extra exercise (ride a bike a few days a week for a few miles), either. Biggest change was to stop drinking pop. I had NO idea just how many calories ever regular can of Coke has, much less the biggie size at the drive-thru.

So, no, I really don't have sympathy for the obese. Stop eating so much and you will weight. It's really as simple as that.

I did that drank coke all day long stopped and have been drinking water or tea no sugar for a year trying to get off 5 pounds lost 1 and that is it and am pissed. I am over 30 so maybe I'm stuck.

I'm not over weight so maybe this is why I can't lose it but maybe some people just don't lose weight easily so I do have compassion for those big boned girls who will never be a size 6 or 8 or for some 12 would not be a healthy weight they are made to be a 14.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Obviously any newborn with a statistically small B.L.Z. Bub: Oh, I misinterpreted the headline. I thought this was going to be about penis size discrimination.

Yeah, I thought the same thing.

Obviously any newborn found to have a small penis needs to be sterilized to prevent passing on that unfortunate trait. Likewise, any man visiting a doctor for a checkup or a consultation who is found to have a little penis needs to be sterilized and if he has any children, then they should also be sterilized. Any woman who is found to have given birth to a child with a tiny penis shall be required to undergo a hysterectomy just to make sure. Late-term abortion to prevent emergence of micropenis should be completely acceptable. Why burden society with an awful miniscule penis?

We can eliminate small penis syndrome from our population within three generations. We merely need the will to do it.

KimNorth: maybe some people just don't lose weight easily

All people come in all people sizes.

Morbidly obese is a dietary and lifestyle choice.
Big boned is nice. but SERIOUSLY if you can gain three times your apparent body weight, you can lose it too.

// And stay the heck off the dance floor, if your weight is considered a safety risk, it's not your floor. Dance on the sidewalk, the streets, my lounge, your lounge, ANYWHERE that your weight is not considered a risk to others.

Anyway, women don't pass along the tiny-penis problem. That is entirely a Y-chromosome trait, and it's all on you guys.

Losing weight is easy. Consume fewer calories than you burn.

It's funny, as a formerly fat person, I have little patience for people like these. If you're not happy, lose weight and shut the fark up

As a female- you are crazy. Bowl of cereal is 500 calories? WTF are you eating? Cheerios are 100 calories a cup. Measure a cup and put it in a bowl- not that hard. I'm not familiar with the calories in non-skim milk but skim has 80 calories. So when I measure (and I measure) my 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of cereal I know that that should be 180 calories. Then you eat a banana or a bunch of berries (save it for a snack if you're a snacker) and that is 280 calories.

I'm with you on the sandwich- seems right for lunch. 500-800 for dinner- okay, but if you're having a hard time not eating a huge dinner try eating fish or vegetarian and make sure 1/2 your plate is vegetables.

I am small and although I exercise, I'm not an athlete- I count calories and eat 1200-1400 a day. It is not difficult. I do eat dinner pretty late since I'm not usually hungry in the afternoon but get hungry before bed if I eat dinner late.

Sorry I get pissy when people are complaining about how little they can eat when they are on a diet. They are eating more than I (and MANY OTHER FEMALES or small people) eat on a normal basis. I guess I am mad about sizeism too. Mostly because when they gave out free tshirts at the baseball game they were all XL! Total BS. And whats up with high shelves- and why are the good things always on them?? :'(
