If you lost weight the first time, why do you think it's so hard to do again?
Obviously losing the weight would be best but there was only one time in my life where it was possible. Its like a switch flipped in my head, I started losing the weight then the switch flipped again and I just couldn't get through the day on so few calories anymore.
Its like Flowers to Algernon but with my waistline
It sounds like something happened to you psychologically that is worth delving into
I agree. I'm in counseling partially over that.
I keep trying to work up the nerve to go to Overeaters Anonymous
Why would that be difficult for you?
I just don't like being around people much and it sounds like they get into heavy stuff. I don't want to cry or anything like that
🆙 | **TheTickAndSpaceGhostCombined leveled up!**
what would you consider a good way of shaming people?
I told myself what I would gain from losing weight and stuck to that/]
Focus on whatever it is thats bothering you, whats fixable. Do they smell? Do they break stuff? Are they take too much space? Do you just not like looking at them?
Look, the answer is to simply encourage a culture of good eating. Attacking people for their private lifestyle is not the way. That's why I don't like the "body positivity" thing. It misses the point, entirely.
Encouraging a culture of good eating doesn't work though
Personally, fat shaming caused me to lose weight to a degree but it's shitty to go through
Oh I completely agree Pyre, the body positivity thing is bogus. That is unhealthy. I'm so glad I'm so averse to SJWism because that is going to screw with people's heads
Maybe if you're their parent and can dictate to them but if that's all you do it will never change their ways
"Shaming" can mean anything. I don't think it's good to be mercilessly cruel to people. But I don't think you should lie to people either and tell them that they are healthy and beautiful. Usually when people say 'fat shaming' they include anything that makes them feel negatively about themselves. But we can't protect people from reality.
Nah, culture is stronger than laws. Make a culture of good eating and you've pushed the first domino.
Why do you think the SJWs are doing this shit?
Whaaaaaa?
Leveled Up?
It's like I said on the call, if SJWs had their way they would leverage the government to protect fat people from having their feelings hurt.
Yeah whats with the level up
Culture is never stronger than laws, what???
But i never advocated using laws, just to be clear
I said culture is stronger.
Right, what does that even mean?
What context do you say this from? With what evidence?
It means that laws are not as effective. Think prohibition.
Mariage law changed culture, not vise versa
for addictive substances?!
What culture exists there?
No, culture allwowed for mariage laws to be feaseable
I'm talking about divorce(should have been more clear)
Divorce laws changed the culture
not vice - versa
I figured you were talking about gay marriage. Culture first, there.
Divorce laws had to be fuled by people working to promote it. In fact, when you start to look into it, culture in the west had been loosing up for years prior. Think about feminism. Divorce laws came after.
What about gay marriage? what point are you making
