thanks for pointing this out!!
You said it all.
💯
Honestly what confuses me most about those videos is that a huge majority of what they are eating is healthy and normal- heck I don’t even eat as healthy as some of them. There are other factors in play other than just the foods they eat, which is why it’s important to consider that before judging anyone, not just people on the internet
Tell her Abby!!! This hatred toward fat people needs to stop!
Who is this lady?
One blo**dy good dietitian !!!❤
Sometimes it’s because they’ve yo-yo dieted and can’t lose as easily or have other health problems – mental or otherwise – that led to it. Fat shaming is gross.
As someone who has always been fat this is why I spent much of my life afraid to eat in public. If I eat a salad I was afraid people would judge me and tell me why bother eating healthy your fat and ugly anyway. If I ate a burger I feared them calling me a fat cow. This came from people mocking me as I ate. Either to my face or behind my back.
Interesting when I became more confident in my body and eating in public I dropped and kept off more weight than I had before.
A lot of other things contributed of course. My family has lots of weird hormone problems, most of us have to take something to balance them. I’m also not the only one to have surgery for endocrine peoblems.
My mothers family is also built big, both tall and broad, that the members who have been underweight because of disordered eating, as in can count ribs thin, in clothing still look “big”. Examples Underweight mom was a size 12, and my bro is 6’4″ and at 210lb looking a guant, and 200lb can count his ribs.
I am a “fat” person myself. I, too often still (even after losing over 300 lbs) scared to eat in public. I don’t even like to eat in front of my family.
I am adopted and have a completely different body type than my family. My 16 yr old sonnis 6’4 and is thick like a tree, and he eats extremely well. I also have a lot of health problems that have either been late diagnosed because the answer was I was a fat girl who needed to diet. Never why I couldn’t lose weight after being on every diet there had been created. Or I don’t have the health insurance for expensive doctors.
Once, I moved away from my home and learned to eat what I love and love what I need and actuallyeatg… the weight flew off
People in this world just need to leave us alone… we aren’t a side show in a circus.
I was overweight for a lot of my adult years, and have been in the “healthy bmi range” (between quotation marks because of the idea that health is only possible within a set range) for a while now. I still don’t feel fully comfortable eating in public, at least not as comfortable as my friends who have never been overweight, even though I know not a lot of people are judging me or even interested in watching me eat.
There is sharp contrast though with my experiences when I was overweight. Dutch people are very blunt and won’t hesitate to share their opinions, so there’s quite a lot of food policing even towards strangers and judgment towards overweight/obese people. I no longer get those comments even though I now buy more junk/processed foods than I used to.
I did some grocery shopping today and bought a lot of kruidnoten (plain and flavored), easily 5 bags of them because they were in short supply and would be all gone by december 5th unless you’re lucky enough to find some leftover bags that are then put on a half off sale. Same with chocolate letters, I bought 4 of them in different flavors. Nobody commented, nobody even looked at what was in my basket. I would never have bought as much in one go when I was overweight, and I could risk getting comments if I got half that much. Seriously, I’ve had it happen to me that someone came up to me and said “those aren’t good for you, you know” and I replied “I’m not buying them for my health sir”. I’ve got more anecdotes but I’ll end the comment here.
Abbey’s so real for saying this❤ Also, this is unrelated but that blazer matches her eyes and it looks so pretty!!
Thank you for this, Abbey. You never know the story behind a person’s obesity. I was never obese until I started taking medication for bipolar disorder. I am on so many medications that have caused me to gain weight. Maybe someone has been overweight/obese since childhood and hasn’t learned to eat healthy. Maybe someone’s trauma has caused them to binge. Maybe they watched a parent struggle with an eating disorder. Maybe they learned to self soothe with food because every time they were sad their parents immediately gave them food to make them be quiet.
I don’t really watch What I Eat In A Days because I’m in recovery from anorexia and really focusing more on how I’m eating and feeling, but sometimes a fat positive creator I watch posts one, and I’ll watch them and realize that I’m not looking for what I need to avoid eating anymore, I’m just glad she fueled herself properly, and that it looked yummy, then scroll on.
That’s progress, and some long awaited freedom, I hope this girlie can find that too.
As an obese male that was not predisposed to being overweight but rather carries the weight because of trying to eat away pain and emotions that life has brought, I can attest it’s not a fun place to be and it doesn’t go away with the snap of a finger.
People such as this don’t particularly bother me because they are speaking from ignorance, particularly of the shame associated with being obese.
If they were in my shoes, they would have a different perspective. I pray they never know what it’s like.
For me, the frustration comes from knowing I could’ve prevented it had I not abused food but addiction has consequences regardless of the substance.
Good news is, I’ve learned a lot about myself, am healing, and moving forward with positive changes for a healthier future.
you go man!! get it!
Obese here from the same reasons / ED. Sending love to you mate. I hope you’re ok 🖤
That’s a dietitian I would go to in any size❤ Just to never worry about judgment
Thank you for your content! It makes me feel better about myself, even if I can’t relate to the topic personally
I was always told I was fat and I was not as a child or teenager …because of that I let myself go … I just lost 85 pounds and am almost at my goal …. But I have lots mental issues as I am afraid to eat and have body image problems now as I still think I am fat and am not
Ppl are judged so harshly let’s not make their lives even worse
Omg thank you🎉
Abbey THANK YOU.
It’s obviously the only way she knows how to feel good about herself.
She did specifically say it’s the “not trying to lose weight” ones, so i wouldnt say shes grouping all fat people together. Just the ones who dont care what they eat, some of whom live making rage bait videos 😅
That green blazer really brings out the green in your eyes!!
They post rage bait, this is the reaction they want. I will save my sympathy for those who aren’t making their money off deliberately provoking people.
