My husband had come in late from working and rushed in to tell me to put it on because it was about overweight women accepting themselves and he said I might find it interesting. I have to say, I did not find it interesting. I found it to be the complete opposite of what I was expecting. I missed some at the beginning, but Lindy was talking and saying things about her boss. She hated how he treated her and things he said to her about being fat. She was saying that people shaming overweight people doesn't work because we have enough shame every day. We feel bad enough. And talking about fear of breaking a chair, Etc. To me, she sounded like someone who is opening her mouth and saying things to try to convince everyone around her, but didn't seem convinced herself. I did not get the feeling she accepts herself as fat. I got the feeling that for her, she just wanted everyone else to accept her as she is. Are you truly happy with yourself if you feel shame each day, or feel worried about breaking a chair, or feel like you are missing things in life because of your size?
The other one is stuffing herself with dangerous drugs to stay thin because she enjoys the "rewards" of being thin. How is that promoting fat acceptance?
I have been thin and I am now very heavy. I know how differently I was treated when I was smaller, compared to now. I get a lot of the things they said about how they are treated, etc. I face that every day. For anyone actually accepting themselves and feeling comfortable in their own skin regardless of their size, I am truly happy for them. I did not see that in the 2 that I heard.
Just my take
