“Diets do not work. Not just paleo or Atkins or Weight Watchers or Goop, but all diets.
Since 1959, research has shown that 95 to 98 percent of attempts to
lose weight fail and that two-thirds of dieters gain back more than they
lost. The reasons are biological and irreversible.

Fatsplaining at its finest. I don’t give a fuck when someone chooses to not be healthy, but don’t sit there and make bullshit excuses and blame anything other than yourself and your lack of self control. Take responsibility and own up to it, you’re not fooling anyone.

I’m sorry other people’s shapes make you so angry that you pretend science is wrong

Obviously this person must think climate change is wrong and vaccines cause autism

Julian Dennison is out here preaching about the importance of body diversity and representation in the media and I’m honestly so here for it. 

Deadpool is a quirky universe, which is all about being outside of the box, unlike a normal superhero film,” he says, adding that he’s always been confident and comfortable with his body image. “For me, personally, it’s really cool to play someone who other people can finally look at it and see that a bigger person can portray this awesome character.” [x]

SO TRUE!!!!!! My good peasant DNA would also get me through any famine. If I reduce my caloric intake my body goes, “Oh! Another famine is it? Dinna fash lass: we’re really good at this! When all those other skinny idjits lie dead around you, ye’ll still be plump as a wee fat hen to pick up the pieces.”

This is actually a really accurate and positive description of what a lot of people’s bodies do when under stress. And it makes me kind of happy that my body’s just trying to help me out. Though my heritage is pretty much pure English (I know this because my mother’s a big family history nut), so maybe it thinks the Romans are coming.
