  • I agree, I actually ended up gaining the weight back, but when I was working on losing it- I loved that sub for its motivation. I’m actually about to re-embark on that very same goal again now.

    /r/fatpeoplehate- to reiterate, did help me. It didn’t make me hate myself, it didn’t inspire the eating disorder I came to be under, or are under now- it made clear to me that I had things to deal with. A healthy person does not lose over a hundred pounds of weight, and then gain it back in a fairly short period of time. For all of it’s failures, flaws, and imperfections- that sub may have very well saved my life by bringing to my attention; I have an eating disorder.



  • This reminds me of when, during the building and development of the Apollo program- electrical engineers were tasked with effectively creating the “software” of the guidance system, and when one of the lead developers told his wife “I’m working on the software for the rocket” She replied “We’re not going to tell people that you’re working in underpants.”
