I feel like this sub is losing its roots. It seems it be becoming more like r/fatlogic, with many posts about how gross fat people and their habits are now that many of us aren’t “fat” anymore, and less about supporting weight journeys. It makes me sad to see the sub deteriorating.

I know, I know. Many won’t agree. Or many will think I’m saying “obesity is healthy!!!”. I’m not saying that. At all. I just think a lot of the posts in this sub lately are problematic and not about supporting people’s weight loss journey, and more about being a place for people to use as a soap box for their own opinions.

I’ve also seen a huge increase in posts that definitely read as someone being disgusted with fat people, but hiding behind the claim that they are only disgusted because people keep saying “fat is healthy”! It’s actually the very small minority or claim that message, but it’s used by people often to justify their hatred and disgust of people simply for their body size. I don’t see as many posts about underweight people like this, despite the severe dangers of that too.

Why did I even post this? Just to be annoying? Aren’t I just adding to the problem I’m complaining about.

Probably! I just needed to vent. Anyway, that’s all.

And I’m saying this as someone whose lost over 100lbs and is still losing. I’m not saying this as someone refusing to lose weight.
