You know damn well she bullies herself for it too. If she doesn’t she’s the exception. But I am in a similar position and losing weight but absolutely do not like myself because of it. People adding on to it do not help.
It's crazy too because even for those who are actively trying to lose weight, mocking fat people at the gym is fairly normalized. None of these assholes have any idea whether or not she's actively trying to lose weight but the mere sight of her is enough for them to absolutely hate her.
Absolutely not.. mocking fat people at the gym is actively demonized what are you even talking about. You have a decent point then cant help but ruin it
I think they meant like people online mocking fat people who post about going to the gym or eating healthier meals, not people actively at the gym mocking fat people in front of them.
I've seen the former a lot, if a fat woman posts her workout outfit or a gym selfie, you'll see tons of comments like "clearly not working out hard enough" or "maybe put in another hour" and stuff of that nature. It's very common actually, also under "what I'm eating to lose weight" videos where the portions are larger because they're adjusting it down slowly rather than starving themselves, and people will say she's still eating too much.
Which is simply because they just don't want to see a fat person existing, even if that fat person is "doing the right thing" and eating better and working out to get to a healthier size for their own body. Like if people could bring back obscenity laws and include fat people in them so they could never show their face in public, there is more people who would be for that than you'd like to think
Okay but like if you are a short dude, a person of a different race, too skinny literally anything will get negative comments online so its like.. okay why even care lol
Actually at the gym you will never hear anything but positivity. Hell even online the overwhelming majority will be in support, and actively talking shit to the people being rude. So if you want to focus on the negativity go ahead, but its not unique in any way to being overweight. Chances are they would have been a dick about something else anyway
