Imma stir up controversy: I weigh around 275lbs and I HATE the idea of body positivity. Obesity is an epidemic and I don’t like people to tell me to embrace it. I wanna fight it and lock in. I dont wanna be praised for a body with health issues.

I’ve seen some influencers shift to body neutrality which is just about appreciating the body that you’re in, which I think is a better way to put it. I don’t try to convince myself and others that I’m peak health but I also don’t obsess over my body either.

But you are probably 275 and poorly shaped, I’m 180 (considered obese for my height) and well shaped but due to playing sports my muscles concentrates in my legs I have thick thighs and a small waist so bottoms don’t fit properly. Im not asking for the world for a pair of pants that fit round bottomed girls and yes im in shape no health issues.

I'm like 130 lbs which is skinny for my height and I actually think it's a good idea since not everyone has the same amount of control over their weight, especially if they have like pcos

So fun fact the body positivity movement was started to be about people with amputations or cystic acne to feel confident about their bodies. The movement was hijacked by obese people to justify their weight.
