tell that to all of the fat athletes and skinny alcoholics. you know i’d love to give you my sleep disorders and sleep schedule, watch your health deteriorate, watch you balloon back up to being a fatty again, and then have you tell me more about how it’s a choice.
FTR, i was fit and athletic for the first 15+ years of my life before taking the rx drug risperidal caused me to gain 120 lbs in one school year. since then my weight and health have been a rollercoaster, and three different times since i was 16 i’ve lost 100+ lbs through positive changes in my diet, sleep patterns, exercise habits, hours of sunlight and human interaction, etc. i love that shit. i’ve always been wired to go after as much if that as i can, my whole life. and yet and still, every single time ive lost the weight ive gone and gained the weight back, in no small part because of such severe sleep issues that i lost my dream job and haven’t been able to work in 10 years. i’ve been on disability for 8 years and, barring divine intervention, ill never work again.
i was 6’1”, 200 lbs in 2014, going on hour-long runs first thing every morning, and going to my dream job every day, where i got to be outside and active most of the day. today, after years of chronic isolation and severe sleep deprivation (and it goes so far. whine just deprivation), plus a litany of other mental health issues, and series of injuries which no doubt could have been avoided were i in better shape, i now find myself at 395 lbs and in considerably poor health, despite being someone loves nothing more than exercising and who was never overweight to begin with before rx drugs ruined my body.
people like you who lose weight and then declare that being fat is a choice are dumb. like, actually stupid, for believing that. “i did a thing, therefore everyone else in the world has no excuse not to be able to do the same thing. i chose not to be fat, therefore anyone can.” yeah. dumb.
and another thing- you’re really gonna sit there and say, “being fat is a choice” about the millions of poor, uneducated, umpteenth generation fat kids whose parents fill their kids’ gullets with mcdonald’s, skittles, and mountain dew? that’s those kids fault? that’s their choice? give me a break. you lose weight one time and suddenly you’re the expert on all things weight related. that’s rich.
