Gaining privilege in an unfair system comes with an immense fear of losing it, especially when you’ve convinced yourself that you deserve it.

You don’t know how anyone in your life is actually losing weight. Complimenting weight loss could too easily be complimenting an eating disorder. There is simply no way for you to know until it’s too late. It’s best to just not do it.

A comment on someone's weight has immense potential to harm them, regardless of whether it's a compliment, criticism, or observation.

No, your body has not changed significantly since you looked in the mirror 20 minutes ago. Stop checking!!!!

You cannot cite your personal experience as representative of the whole population. You are operating off of a sample size of one.

Say whatever you want about that grotesque fascist Trump over the next four years but please leave his weight out of it. There are so many reasons he’s horrible — let’s not act like that’s one of them.

The assumption that every Fat person is overeating is similar to assuming that every skinny person is undereating. Simply, body size diversity exists no matter how people are eating.

If you can believe there are skinny people in your life who can eat a lot without gaining weight, why is it that you don’t believe the opposite?

It doesn’t matter how late it is — if you’re still hungry and you haven’t eaten enough today, go get more food.

The weight loss industry makes money because it doesn’t work. We would never accept a 95-97% failure rate from any other industry.

You don’t have to lose weight in 2025.

Your children can hear your thoughts when you stare at them wishing they were thinner.
