  That woman who said &quot;I have chose to be fat and happy rather than thin and miserable&quot; is the most miserable looking person I have ever seen

  As someone whose best friend suffered for years and died at the age of 40 due to diabetes (type 1), it&apos;s absolutely shocking to hear someone say that they&apos;d rather &quot;get diabetes than be miserable&quot;. Complete madness. They have no idea what they&apos;re talking about or how bad it can get.

  When I hear people say “I’d rather get [insert chronic condition] than adjust my lifestyle”, I tend to assume they don’t have a lot of experience with life altering chronic conditions.<br><br>I’ve struggled my whole life with chronic health problems. &nbsp;If there was something I could do to make them go away completely, I would do it in a heartbeat

  It sounds weird but the fat acceptance group actually motivates me to stick to my diet and don’t make excuses. I can’t really explain it.

  Ironic she used random studies to show how exercise was bad but refuses to acknowledge all the overwhelming amount of studies showing dangers of obesity.

  I had a broken arm the other day, so I went to see the doctor. Doctor said they would need to fix my arm with surgery and a cast. This was so obvious it was condescending. Therefore I left the hospital without treatment and resumed skateboarding on the highway. I see broken-arm-acceptance still has a ways to go

  &quot;I&apos;d rather be fat and have the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc&quot; has the same energy as &quot;I&apos;d rather not wear my seat belt cuz it&apos;s uncomfortable to wear and have the risk of unaliving if I get in an accident&quot;

  As a smoker— someone slap me if I ever go around telling people smoking doesn’t cause cancer.<br><br>Please. This is all getting out of hand.

  I am a licensed therapist. Exercise is a protective factor for depression. Also, if your license is in counseling, you are required to give your credentials to your clients.

  &quot;You can&apos;t change your weight&quot; was exactly what I didn&apos;t say when I was diagnosed with heart disease over 10 years ago. I also gave up smoking and alcohol and started the process of dropping from 245 pounds to 195. It still wasn&apos;t my ideal BMI, but at least I felt better and I&apos;m still here with a smile on my face.

  The way she defends the sugar and fast-food industries makes me wonder who is financing her research.
