I have a friend who is only 13 and her mom put her on a diet for being “fat”. Everyday she only comes to school with an apple, so I usually give her my granola bar. Ever since she started this diet she has seemed a little slower and it makes me sick how her mother would do that. I’ve told my mom about what her mom has done to her and she doesn’t believe me since the info is coming from my friend, and not her mother. You can say she is a little bigger than me and my other friend, but I would never call her fat… I’m going to show her this ^_^

I’m overweight, and I’m actually pretty healthy. I’m in cross country and I run pretty much everyday. In fact, I’m in more shape running-wise, than some skinnier girls who aren’t that active. I even run longer and faster than some of the guy hockey players, lol. And, I don’t really worry about getting any health problems, that overweight people can get.

Ok, no. Saying “As long as you’re healthy…” literally just means that. As long as you are living a healthy lifestyle, then you are fine. There is nothing wrong with your body. It doesn’t mean that they have a huge issue with the way that someone looks, usually it just genuinely means that they are concerned for their health. There is nothing wrong with fat acceptance, obviously, it’s a pretty good thing, but at the same time we can’t use fat acceptance as an excuse to put on a load of weight.

I can see where you’re coming from, but honestly, you can’t be healthy if you’re 14 years old, 5’6 and weigh 300 lbs. It’s not even fat shaming, its just the reality of the situation. However, we don’t need to comment on the eating habits of every single person, but we can’t tell ourselves that fat=health.
