Fat acceptance debunked
Look… sometimes people get into a selfish rut and become fat, lazy or mean or anything else that is a bad quality in a human being. It happens, its not the end of the world. However, stop feeling sorry for yourself when people acknowledge that you have bad qualities. Live in the real world you fat idiots.
She was great as Artemis on Its Always Sunny.
It's 2020 & I'm sobbing. I didn't know I needed this.
This is really good and I'm not fat. This is talent.
Roll it around in flour and ……
All these women loving this video won't give a fat guy a chance. Fuck this fat pos
Fat is ugly. Stop lying that it's okay to eat to much and get fat. You are to fat. Keep on going and soon you'll not be able to get out if bed .
My partner is the skinny one loving me. I was skinny when we met and now I'm well fat. I say I'm too fat and he still says no your perfect they are my best friend and I am totally showing this poem
"he tells me he loves me with the lights on"
How the fuck is this shit even poetry? Heard of Yeats? Heard of Shelley? Fuuuuuuuck!
I love this so much??????
I feel like I could be great friends with this woman.
As a bigger girl with a skinny boyfriend, I loved this poem!
1.
I say, "I am fat."
He says "No, you are beautiful."
I wonder why I cannot be both.
He kisses me
hard.
2.
My college theater professor once told me
that despite my talent,
I would never be cast as a romantic lead.
We put on shows that involve flying children and singing animals,
but apparently no one
has enough willing suspension of disbelief
to buy anyone loving a fat girl.
3.
On the mornings I do not feel pretty,
while he is still asleep,
I sit on the floor and check the pockets of his skinny jeans for motive,
for a punchline,
for other girls’ phone numbers.
4.
When we hold hands in public,
I wonder if he notices the stares,
like he is handling a parade balloon on a crowded sidewalk.
I wonder if he notices how my hands are made of rope.
5.
Dear Cosmo: Fuck you.
I will not take your sex tips
on how to please a man
that you do not think my body will ever be worthy of.
6.
He tells me he loves me with the lights on.
7.
I can cup his hip bones in the palm of my hands,
feel his ribs without pressing very hard at all,
sip wine from his collarbones
He does not believe me when I tell him he is beautiful.
Sometimes I fear the day he does is the day he leaves.
8.
The cute hipster girl at the coffee shop
assumes we are just friends
and flirts across the counter.
I spend the next two weeks
replacing my face with hers
in all of our photographs.
When I finally admit this
we spend the whole night taking new pictures.
He will not let me delete a single one.
9.
The phrase, “Big girls need love too,” can go die in a fire.
Fucking me does not require an asterisk.
Loving me is not a fetish.
Finding me beautiful is not a novelty.
I am not a novelty.
10.
I say, "I am fat."
He says, "No. You are so much more,"
and kisses me
hard.
you got a boyfriend shut up you selfish pig
She’s a beautiful girl… it just seems she isn’t happy with herself.
This isn't relevant to this but
my first thought when she said when I say I am fat he says no you are beautiful
"I said I fat not ugly"
This is one of my favorite poems. I can listen to it over and over again. ?
I love how at the end, he learned. He went from “You’re not fat, you’re beautiful” to “You’re not fat, you’re so much more…” He knows that she is fat, big, thick, whatever you wanna say. He loves her that way. But he knows that she is more than that, no matter what the rest of the world sees.
I love you! I'm screaming at 3 in the morning. Thank you
Is it possible to die from cringing?
People really think this is good?
Lmao!!!
This is a crowd full of fat bitches and gay dudes cheering.
I was so absolutely in love with the father of my children. He was my everything. And he was somewhere between 350 – 400 lbs.
This feels more like a list of complaints, not any social commentary. I hope she finds love and learns to love herself. ?
Sounds to me like you have way too many insecurities that you need to work on instead of projecting them onto your partner which will in turn, push him away.
this lady died of heart disease from being obese. lmao instead of writing stupid ass poems she shoulda been jogging.
this shit is so goddamn funny. ???
How do you like a video more than once?
How about all you fat bitches lose some fucking weight.
Boo hoo i gave myself a problem, feel bad for me
As a fat girl loved by a skinny boy… I feel this so deeply.
"he tells me he loves me, with the light on." WOW
Cringe
#4 had me bawling
How the hell does this have 46 thousand likes?
YOU ARE DYING
What is she complaining about?
"while he is still asleep…. I check the pockets of his jeans for other girls phone numbers".
That is so creepy and invasive… sounds like a good way to destroy a perfectly good relationship.
As a guy this is the funniest bullshit I’ve ever heard.
Better title: Insecure delusions from a woman who doesn’t care about herself.
This lady seems to have it very good. Nothing to complain about. ?
