Being fat sucks. And let’s not dance around it, either. There are literally no upsides to being fat — unless you’re trying to impress a toxic enabling fetishist, but I repeat myself.
We now live in an age where movements such as “fat acceptance” and “body positivity” have been designed or co-opted to shirk blame for one’s poor life choices.
I, a former fatty, know all too well how crap it is to be overweight.
It sucks — being fat sucks.
There is nothing positive about it — being fat sucks, but people will still flock to trendy causes shifting the blame. The fleeting dopamine hits you acquire via pizza goes away quick, and then there’s nothing but regret.
Of course, wanting to make a change and breaking bad habits are easier said than done.
Nearly 95% of all diets fail — mostly because they’re unsustainable.
But that’s enough of that — let’s just right into the “Why Being Fat Sucks” list:
