Fat acceptance is murder 72 comments

I'll be the first to admit that I am fat. I'm not proud of it, I am not going to say I love my "curves".
I know I'm un-healthy. I've tried a lot of things and never been able to stick to it.
I think the real argument here is not justifying un-healthiness, just justifying why fat shaming is okay. When a person who is fully aware that they are over weight and someone shames them, they feel like they are not considered human. They feel as if they are an object without recognition. It's almost similar (but not as horrible) as when the Nazi's created propaganda against Jews: They put out posters of people with big noses and curly unkempt hair. These people became in-human, objects. This made it easier to justify their suffering and torture, because they weren't human.
All I am asking is don't take my humanity from me. I am human, and just as everyone struggles with something, I struggle with my size. Motivate me to be better, don't put me down. It makes a difference :)
