HAES and Fat Acceptance grew via social media, so I think it's a net positive overall that people go back to being weight conscious, even if they're fat.
It feels awful to be fat. If there's no one telling you it's okay, your own body telling you that it isn't might be audible.
Sometimes, even the self can't really tell. At one point, I'd reached 235-240 pounds and didn't even know until a health screening at work revealed it to me. And when I started talking to people about it, they weren't surprised. I got around to working on it. Today, I tend to maintain a range of 190-200 pounds. Wish I could get to 180, but I'm still pretty lazy, and that would pretty much be the lowest I could go at my height without malnourishment.
I imagine your health screening at work went something like this.
Forgive me, but what is HAES? Urban Dictionary was no help.
Healthy at every size
Thank you.
