Well, here it is. I meet all the claims that the FA’s say about being “healthy and fat.”
1. Doctors shocked when testing my blood sugar (normal)
2. Doctors shocked when taking my blood pressure (have the blood pressure of a person that exercises at my highest weight and most sedentry)
3. I do not eat fast food and haven’t for years. I am fat eating too large of portions of the good stuff and not burning off enough calories.
All of the things people assume about fat people, I defy. But I have not escaped entirely, and I do not believe if a fatty is being honest with themselves they can say they escape everything. I’ve only escaped the things that the doctors get the most excited about.
Before I started down this path I had chronic fatigue, more severe arthritis pain and a digestive system completely screwed up with GERD and intestinal pain and bloating. But see, the fat acceptance people and the doctors never get excited about this stuff. The doctors don’t get excited about it because they don’t consider it any sort of emergency like diabetes and high blood pressure. And the FA people blissfully act as is nothing is wrong.
But I am here to tell you, that GERD and the possibility of colon cancer in the future (western diets contribute a lot to colon cancer) are most certainly real and severe illnesses. Chronic pain and fatigue are also severe and real. If you are obese there is no way in hell that you are escaping digestive problems. There’s no possible way that the weight on your body is not impacting your joints; the FA movement cannot defy gravity folks!
The sad fact is that many doctors operate their practice by the book, or what the pharm industry tells them. So if you don’t fit into those neat little boxes of diabetes and high blood pressure, which require the drugs the pharm companies make, then there is nothing “really” wrong with you, other than being “fat and lazy.” And so the myths continue to be perpetuated then with the help of the FA movement: “You’re fat, but you are healthy and don’t have diabetes and high blood pressure!” Bah.
I challenge any FA fatty coming here to take a good long look at themselves, and HONEST look at themselves and their health and still claim “there’s nothing wrong.” If you are obese, something is wrong.
I Should be the Model Fatty for "Fat Acceptance"
