I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
Darkening of the skin, particularly in the armpits or nether regions might be Acanthosis nigricans. It can be a sign of hormonal imbalance or diabetes. Lots of boils can be a sign as well. Have you had your hormone levels checked recently?
You have a literal medical condition most likely due to you being 500 pounds. It’s definitely hormones you can’t control, definitely not type 2 diabetes for being 500 pounds.
My doctor actually diagnosed me with pre diabetes about 6 months ago. I didn't even think that the 2 could be related. My hormone levels have not been checked recently.
The truth comes out! I do have type 2 pre diabetes! Never would have thought that my skin looks terrible because I’m 500 pounds, I thought it was just bad luck! Well shucks, mister. Guess I’m going to go get my hormones checked because I’m definitely not going to try to lose weight.
the beauty & diet industry literally manipulates your vulnerabilities so that you spend more money on shit you don't need that is probably harmful to you. The diet and beauty industry's whole goal is to get us create conspiracy theories about our own bodies. your body is so normal and okay the way it is right now. the diet/beauty industry uses the same tactics that an abusive partner would use to keep you in line. These are things I have to tell myself regularly and I believe them a bit more each time. just wanted to share. <3
Literally brain washing yourself to say that your 500 pound body is healthy. Just keep saying it until you believe it or die of type 2 diabetes/heart failure, whichever comes first. Your vulnerabilities are being manipulated by companies to create conspiracy theories about your own body! Not because your health will be objectively better if you get under 200 pounds.
I think this is a great examination of fat mentality.
I’m experiencing bad health problems, I’m also 500 pounds
it sounds like a disease that could be caused by your weight, but also something else
Oh thank you, I’ll get that something else checked out, glad to hear it’s not my weight
remember to love your body and don’t listen to anyone who says it’s healthier to not be 500 pounds. You’re a perfectly healthy and beautiful person at any weight.
