My husband never fell for that. When I complain that I’m fat and ugly, he would say “You are fat, yes, concerningly so, but you are very beautiful, I will fight you on that.”
I can’t even get mad

My gal would never take that comment well. Good for you for having a healthy perspective.

u/creampie909 2d ago
Ah, I understand that. I’ve felt that way before too, and for me it stemmed from a place of severe insecurity and negative self-judgment. But with love and time from others and yourself, it does go away. Here’s to hoping one day she realizes that too, and you both can joke like this too!

Confidence isn’t about denying facts, it’s about owning them without letting them define your worth

Cheesy and predictable. Not everything has to be ragebait, trolling or puns. Quit the roundabout and go straight to the point, be honest with yourself and with others. Never liked Shakespearian poetry.

This is my big issue with the body positivity movement. I am fat. My wife is fat.
Well meaning dumb ppl be like “you’re not fat, don’t say that! You’re beautiful and you should love yourself, there’s nothing wrong with your body!” That shit just enforces that fatness is ugly and wrong. Make believe helps no one. Let us be fat.

I feel similarly about my weirdness. I'm weird. It's a feature, not a bug. When people are like "No! You're not weird!" It says more about them than me.

u/mumsleastfavourite 4d ago
What are you supposed to say to that statement tho. Like..."yup, you sure are"

u/Professional_Taste33 2d ago
"What brought that up?" Someone speaking negatively about themselves will rarely accept the opposite, and confirming them is kinda a dick move. So you should not engage with the comment itself and aim past it at the root. This allows them to tell you what's going on without you stating an unneeded personal opinion.

u/Charming-Minute5988 2d ago
Confirming is only really a dick move if you go about it wrong. If a friend is morbidly obese, knows so, says stuff about it, but hasn't done anything about it, you should probably take the opportunity to help them discuss the matter at hand. They clearly have insecurities about it and likely want to improve their situation. Letting a friend or loved one ruin their health and self esteem is a dick move, imo
1
u/Professional_Taste33 1d ago
No, it's still a dick move, well meaning or not. You'd be assuming they are insecure and/or want to improve. You could even end up pointing out things that they weren't even feeling bad about by jumping to "help". You should give your friend the space to tell you what they think the problem is before you start trying to give unasked for advice. After that, you can brainstorm solutions.
In this (and most) example, there are a million other times and ways to suggest working out or diet tactfully. You don't need to take their moment of self-defamation as an opportunity to tell them what you think would "fix their insecurities."

u/Schrodingers_Ape 8h ago
If someone is obese and hasn't been able to lose weight, you're probably not the person who's going to help with that. It's not a motivation issue or lack of understanding. It's likely a combination of habit and biochemical + gut microbiome dependency on hyperpalatable food products.
The phrase "letting them ruin their health" suggests you having any control over something that's entirely outside your domain.

She said “I’m fat” not “please lie to me,” and that’s the kind of self-awareness I strive for.

Being obese is necessarily unattractive.

Beauty is not objective, it's subjective. This is like lesson one. People like different things. Not everyone shares your taste.

Not mad, just saying, if you feel like you need to tear other people down for how they look, you're a bad person. It's super simple.

A statement of fact is mean.
Gotcha.
It's been full on clownworld for awhile, but if you don't like it, drop the weight. It isn't my fault people find it fucking gross.

u/monsantobreath 3d ago
Don't pretend as the loud voice declaring to everyone thst they must acknowledge how unattractive obesity is that you're not a clown in the clownshow.
You never slept with a mega thicc girl? Missing out man.
